Steve Palazzolo (Check The Mic with Steve Palazzolo & Sam Monson) and host Thomas Emerick are pondering a modern comp for Natrone Means. They revisit the 1996 AFC Wild Card matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills, a game that marks the Jags' arrival and a shifting NFL landscape in the mid-1990s. Also Steve is now in the Remember That Game four-timers club!The ’96 Jaguars rebound from a 4–7 start, surge through December, and carry that confidence into Rich Stadium against a Bills (AFC) dynasty that just didn't lose at Rich Stadium and a nucleus still intact with Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and the K-Gun. What follows is a collision of influential styles. Really fun convo!Remember That Game is a podcast about sporting events that take you on a journey and chart the path of the zeitgeist. Check out Steve’s show Check The Mic with Steve Palazzolo & Sam Monson at The 33rd Team.Episode threads:We weave these in with key moments from the game, along with lead-up and aftermath.‘25 Jags bounce back midseason and red-hot thru December, get you nostalgic for ‘96? How did that roster get so good so quick, and what clicked for Brunell and Co. to rally from 4-7?How you became a Jaguars fan up in New England the dual rise of these teams in ‘96.Is the Week 17 Morten Andersen miss the most shocking way a team has ever clinched a playoff spot? And would that have seemed too unlikely and dramatic even for a 90s Disney sports flick?Best home playoff record all-time is the Bills at Rich Stadium entering ‘96. Nucleus is still intact and we see it early with Kelly-to-Thomas for the opening score. But an aging nucleus. How intimidating were the Bills to you at that point? How well did that Jacksonville roster stack up? Confident about Boselli vs. Bruce?What went right for the ‘95 expansion squads that didn’t for Browns in ‘99 or Texans in ‘02? How much the fast ascent of the Jags and Panthers is owed to better decisions, and how much is it owed to better environment. If the NFL adds two expansion teams someday, should the league find ways to make more quality veterans available to expansion teams, and also afford more cap flexibility to help them lift off? What would be your approach?Is it over without that Clyde Simmons pick-six stabilizing things early? Your “it’s so over/we’re so back” journey during the game and where you watched.Teal having a moment in 95 with the expansion Jags and Charlotte Hornets. GOAT jerseys? And is the mid-90s NFL aesthetic broadly superior to the ensuing decades?Is there a modern Natrone Means comp? Is that kind of big bruising RB critical to playoff success? Not that these guys comp to Means specifically, but is there wisdom to feeding like a Pacheco or a Shonn Greene that suddenly becomes super valuable in January. Is there something real to that, in the ‘90s and or 2020s?Players on the ‘96 Jags that need more Hall of Fame love. And how much of Coughlin’s case should come from his Jacksonville years. Kevin Gilbride, the K-Gun, and this game as a collision of styles that influenced the modern game.The level of control at the line that Brunell and especially Kelly have in adjusting to defenses (along with WRs Smith/McCardell/Reed/Early on sight adjustments and option routes), it seems in recent years that playcallers have taken more control back. Would it help offenses in 2026 to put more pre- and post-snap control back on the QB’s plate?Is what the Bills did with 4 consecutive SB appearances less likely to happen again than a first Super Bowl threepeat? Is that an underrated accomplishment?Jags knock off Bills and Broncos back-to-back. Patriots eject the Steelers. And there’s no Cowboys or Niners on the other side of the bracket in CC. We get fresh faces in the Super Bowl. Did that make the ‘96 postseason more exhilarating and how did it change the way you thought about the NFL?HOSTRemember That Game creator and producer Thomas EmerickGuestCheck the Mic co-host Steve Palazzolo (Check The Mic with Steve Palazzolo & Sam Monson)SPONSORSBetterHelp - This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Rep. Adam Smith joins host Thomas Emerick to talk Mariners fandom as representative for Washington’s 9th Congressional district, and revisit the unforgettable 1995 ALDS between the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees, while drawing parallels to this year’s Game 5 thriller.They talk about watching both games 30 years apart, how the ‘95 rally helped save baseball in Seattle, and what it was like living through the city’s first true baseball fever. Smith reflects on Griffey’s brilliance, Edgar’s clutch double, and the electricity of the Kingdome, plus how that run set the stage for a new stadium, a new era, and the experience in emergent Seattle in the 1990s when he became the country's youngest state senator and then a new member of Congress after the '96 cycle.The conversation also touches on his time in the Congressional baseball game, the education package he’s recently introduced, and how Seattle’s sports and civic energy from 1995 still echoes through the city today.More moments from the 1995 run that led to the American League Divisional Series Game 5 victory: Seattle Mariners 6, New York Yankees 5 (11 innings)11-inning ALDS Game 5 in 1995 parallels to 15-inning ALDS Game 5 in 2025Edgar Martinez — “The Double” in ‘95; clutch RBI double and AL batting champKen Griffey Jr. — walk-off moment scoring from firstRandy Johnson — came out of bullpen in ‘95 Game 5; ceremonial presence and first-pitch energy in 2015 ALDS; symbol of Mariners gritJay Buhner and Tino Martinez — key bats in '95Joey Cora — drag bunt to get tying baserunner on in the 11thAlex Rodriguez — young pinch-runner in ‘95 scoring tying runLou Piniella — decision to ride Randy and rallying squad when down 13 games to Angels in AugustPaul O’Neill & Don Mattingly — ‘95 Yankee threats who defined tension in Game 5;David Cone — overextended start in Game 5 leading to Seattle rallyDan Wilson — future Mariners manager and steady catcher behind the plate with key plate appearance in Game 4Tie-breaker vs. Angels in ‘95 — Randy Johnson the stopper comes up huge on short restHOSTShow creator and producer Thomas EmerickGuestRep.

Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) and host Thomas Emerick go to OC in '02 for one of the most astonishing rallies in MLB postseason history. And they're buying into The Ralley Monkey. Levin represents California's 49th Congressional district spanning from southern Orange County to northern San Diego County. The vehicle for the episode is Game 6 of the 2002 World Series between the Anaheim Angels and San Francisco Giants, which also allows for traveling backwards and forwards through time. Still trying to understand how those Giants teams with Barry Bonds didn't get a World Series, but it makes sense how those Angels teams could be so dangerous once those bats heat up. A few of the topics covered while revisiting the Angels 6, Giants 5 finish in Game 6 of the 2002 World Series: Shaping of Angels fandom in Los Angeles from the ''80s through the early 2000s The competitive dynamic between Angels, Dodgers, and Padres (and vs. NorCal) With Anaheim being the only Southern California representative in the '02 playoffs, whether region was behind the Angels on this runFavorite '80s/'90s baseball video games? Griffey N64 had two quality '98 rosters for the eventual NL champ Padres and 85-win Angels Jim Edmonds and Chuck Finley would not see Y2K in an Angels uni, but did it seem by '98 that the core of something special could be there Inception of the Rally Monkey in 2000 and how on board Levin was with this being a catalyst The 2002 season and expectations for breaking a 16-year playoff drought heading in Closing at home vs. the Yankees in Game 4 ALDS and the Twins in Game 5 ALCSReaching the final stage for the first time imprints the uniform in people's minds. Were the '02 uniforms your favorite or is there another Angels era that stand outs on style? Taking an L in Game 1 at home vs. the Giants and rallying back again. What was the environment like in Orange County and Greater Los Angeles as the series returned from San Francisco — following a 16-4 loss — for Game 6? The most visceral memories from a slow start and then the 7th and 8th innings that supplied the runs for a 6-5 win to send it to Game 7 The vibe shift Sunday going into Game 7 The years since and how the Angels may get back to contending in the 2020s HOSTShow creator and producer Thomas EmerickGuestRep.

Rep. Joe Courtney (CT-02) and host Thomas Emerick revisit the UConn-Duke '99 national title shocker where Khalid El-Amin, Richard Hamilton (Final Four Most Outstanding Player), and Ricky Moore came up huge in the second half. They also discuss how the bricks were laid for a powerhouse in Storrs, Conn., home of UConn Huskies basketball and part of Connecticut's 2nd Congressional district that Congressman Courtney represents spanning the central to eastern parts of the state. The vehicle for the episode is the 1999 NCAA tournament men's basketball final between the Connecticut Huskies and Duke Blue Devils, which also allows for traveling backwards and forwards through time.A few of the topics covered while revisiting the UConn 77, Duke 74 finish in the '99 final:Early days of the Jim Calhoun eraThe excitement sparked in CT by Tate George's shot at the start of this decade, and the letdown vs. Duke days laterUConn cutting their teeth on '90s Big East basketballRay Allen and favorite UConn players or personalities of that decade on the riseRising tide with ESPN, UConn, and Big East basketballRip Hamilton and Khalid Al-Amin, what was most exciting about the way this duo playedExpectations heading into the regional final and coming out of it.How did this simultaneous emergence of these two teams really generate the energy for the programs in Storrs, CT?How beatable did that juggernaut Blue Devils team seem?Ricky Moore defensive tour de force and supplying offense at the right momentsCoach K vs. Calhoun chess match: Bothering Elton Brand and Trajan Langdon, denying RipJim Nantz delighting in the Moore-Avery August matchup; Late great Billy Packer on the callAward for bipartisanship in CT legislature, and also whether a common sports fandom can be a depolarizerDuke squad favored by 9.5, also had future Naismith Men's College Player of the Year Shane Battier as basically a role player in this gameHamilton catching fire, El-Amin crucial buckets down the stretch, and high tension in waning momentsPulling off the upset and the environment on the streets over that next week.

Nick Corasaniti (The New York Times) and host Thomas Emerick traverse from Asbury Park to the Meadowlands — and through time — to revisit Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s 2003 The Rising Tour shows at Giants Stadium. They also explore how the Meadowlands and the Stone Pony became home fields for Bruce.The conversation maps out the geography of fandom across the Garden State and tri-state region: where Giants fans give way to Jets and Eagles territory, and where Springsteen’s following overlaps or competes with Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, and Sinatra. But we will be very careful about going too deep on Bruce Springsteen vs. Billy Joel in the tri-state. These two millennial Italians hailing from NJ and NY will however reminisce on favorite Giants memories from the old venue, and Week 17 against the Pats in '07 definitely makes the list. Unfortunately for the Jets, Chad Pennington got injured the same week Bruce played and it basically ended their season before it started. One of the AFC betting market favorites that year. That team is just cursed around Labor Day. Also kind of tough for the brand they had to play home games at a place called Giants Stadium for decades.Nick and Thomas also share favorite moments from concerts and games at Giants Stadium, compare the Meadowlands experience to today’s MetLife Stadium, and revisit Bruce’s role in sending off Giants Stadium before its closure, along with basking in the glow of total New Jersey cultural dominance when Springsteen played the Super Bowl halftime show that year.HOSTRotoViz contributor Thomas EmerickGuestNew York Times political reporter Nick CorasinitiCheck out Nick's book: "I Don't Want to Go Home: The Oral History of the Stony Pony" (HarperCollins Publishers)SPONSORSZBiotics - Go to zbiotics.com/ROTOVIZ and use ROTOVIZ at checkout for 15% off any first-time orders of ZBiotics probiotics.BetterHelp - This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Ray Delahanty (CityNerd) and host Thomas Emerick take the MAX down to Rose Quarter for Dame Time. The transportation and urbanism creator with PacNW roots relives standing in the arena for Damian Lillard's iconic shot to clinch the Portland Trailblazers' series victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, formerly known as the Seattle Supersonics.We dive deep on that shot, but also talk cities, fandom, and basketball in the broader Pacific Northwest. Shall we bring back on the Sonics? We have a pitch that involves intercity high-speed rail.How has OKC held up as a fanbase and NBA market post-Sonics? What did that night in Portland feel like—and what did it mean for a region that hadn't caught a break since the Sonics left, or even further back to when the Lakers rallied in Game 7 against Portland in 2000.Ray shares what it was like to be a post-Sonics Seattle basketball fan during the 2010s, including that weird emotional purgatory of watching the Thunder win a title. We look back at the 80s and 90s golden age of Pacific Northwest hoops, the dry years that followed, and what it was like to watch peak Lillard era in person.We close with an ode to Dame’s improbable run to the 2019 West Finals, dragging that roster to heights nobody expected.
