Today is the 50-yr anniversary of the Muhammad Ali vs. Chuck Wepner boxing match at the Richfield Coliseum.

Wepner knocked Ali down in the 9th Rd. But Ali won in 15th. “Rocky” movies are based off Wepner & this fight!

35 years ago today (2/14/1990) on Valentine’s Day, Michael Jordan wore #12 for a game in Orlando.

A member of stadium security crawled through the ceiling of the locked dressing room & stole his #23 jersey. They left it there & never retrieved it.

Jordan had 49 pts in the loss.

In 2023, @JimTressel5 on my @SabolBrothers pod to @ScottSabolFOX8 & me about Ryan Day’s #OhioState struggles:

“Toughest times produce the best future results. To really become extraordinary you have to suffer.”

Jim nailed it! Sums up Day & OSU’s🏆perfectly.

The legendary @JimTressel5 & I reminisce about the 2003 championship game & we preview Monday’s #CFBPlayoff title game vs. #NotreDame.

Is “The Vest” picking his #Buckeyes or his former player Marcus Freeman’s Irish?

20 years ago today (1/5/2005), @cavsdan bought the #Cavs from Gordon & George Gund for $375M.
2025 Value: $3.9B!

Gund saved the Cavaliers by buying them from Ted Stepien for $20M in 1983. Stepien had plans to move the team to Toronto & rename the Cavs as the "Towers".

Indians legend Rocky Colavito passed away Tuesday. I got to know him throughout this past year interviewing him for various stories. He was a great player & an even better man.

It’s an honor to write this tribute for Rocky on @fox8news.

@CleGuardians @John_Sabol @ScottSabolFOX8 @JohnTelich8 @SkrticX @LeagueParkCle @nut_history @reflog18 @jfeador @OurCLEGuardians @CleGuardPro On Easter Sunday 1960, Indians GM Frank Lane shocked MLB trading beloved Tribe slugger Rocky Colavito to Detroit.

Nearly 65 years later, Rocky is still upset & hasn’t forgiven Lane.

Cleveland Indians legendary slugger Rocky Colavito passed away at his home this afternoon. He was 91.
@fox8news

[John Sabol @John_Sabol]

I’m saddened to hear about his passing of Rocky Colavito. It was an honor to have him on our @SabolBrothers podcast last summer.

@ScottSabolFOX8 & I surprised my dad by getting a chance to talk to his childhood idol on the pod. He loved it!

RIP, Rock. 🙏

Greg Newsome doesn’t feel disrespected by George Pickens’ comment⬇️:

“…I don’t care what he has to say or anybody has to say, so I don’t take it as disrespectful because I don’t care about the dude at all.”

@MrCleveland_216 My buddy Sean worked on the Municipal Stadium demo. Turns out it was his buddy that accidentally started that fire! @ScottSabolFOX8 and I had Sean tell the story about this fire on our @SabolBrothers podcast a couple years ago. Good stuff!⬇️

The Browns have yet to score 20 points in a game through 6 games.
One game scoring more than 20 points thru 7 games occurred only 4 times: 2017 (0-16), 2011 (4-12), 2006 (4-12), 1991 (6-10). Didn't finish with more than 4 total In any of these years. (Cond't) @John_Sabol
