What We Loved About The 1970s - The Sports Lunatics Show

Grab your sweatbands and turn up the funk—the latest edition of The Sports Lunatics Show is officially live, and things are getting nostalgic.

In this special freeform episode, Shawn and Howie are throwing the script out the window and diving headfirst into the 1970s sports scene. It was a decade of massive afros, terrifyingly short shorts, and some of the most legendary rivalries to ever grace a stadium.

The Wild, The Weird, and The Wicked

The 70s wasn't just a decade; it was an entire vibe. The boys go back and forth on the peculiar trends and game-changing moments that defined the era. Whether you grew up watching these legends or you’re a student of the game, this episode is a deep dive into what made 70s sports so uniquely "wild."

In this episode, Shawn and Howie tackle:

• The Icons: From the dominance of the "Steel Curtain" Steelers to the flash and dash of the "Showtime" seeds in Los Angeles.

• The Legends: Discussing the sheer gravity of names like Ali, Reggie Jackson, and Dr. J.

• The Peculiarities: Remember when AstroTurf felt like playing on concrete? Or when MLB players wore uniforms that looked like technicolor pajamas? We go there.

• The "Must-See" Rivalries: The moments that had the whole world glued to their grainy tube TVs.

•
