Remembering Colleen Jones & Fuzzy Zoeller

The show begins with heartfelt reflections on the lives and legacies of two icons: Canadian curling giant Colleen Jones, whose curling dominance and strength of character, left an indelible mark on the sport, and Fuzzy Zoeller, the 1979 Masters champion known for his charisma and skill on the golf course, but his legacy was tarnished because of his controversial comments regarding Tiger Woods in 1997.

Historic Anniversaries

The Lunatics then dive into three milestone moments:

  • 1975: Archie Griffin makes history as the only player to ever win back-to-back Heisman Trophies.

  • 1985: On Monday Night Football, the undefeated Chicago Bears faced Dan Marino’s Miami Dolphins—and suffered their lone loss of the season.

  • 1995: In Montreal, coach Mario Tremblay left Patrick Roy in net against the powerhouse Detroit Red Wings. Roy, feeling humiliated, stormed off the ice and declared he was finished with the Canadiens—an exit that shook the hockey world.


👉 Tune in to The Sports Lunatics Show for a fun, fast-paced journey through curling, football, hockey, and golf history—served up with passion, personality, and plenty of laughs.
