Sports fam, my son Ernie is starting his own podcast and content channel @ToughGuysTalk with his brother George. This is part of an ongoing sports media lab STEM learning project and something they have been wanting to do for fun. They are pretty entertaining and have some fun guests planned.

They are looking for followers as well as athletes, coaches, and sports media professionals to interview in the coming months.

Please give them a follow if you are inclined and possibly a share. Thanks friends 🫶🏽

Pete Pihos’ 1946 season included a thigh injury and a throat infection. So naturally he played:

Fullback.
Halfback.
Quarterback.

And finished his Indiana career by scoring three touchdowns against Purdue. Football used to have some very strange definitions of “rest.”

TOUGH GUY LORE 🥊: Pete Pihos

Before Pete Pihos became an Indiana Football legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer, he served in World War II.

Pihos earned a battlefield promotion while serving with Patton’s 35th Infantry Division.

Then he came back to Bloomington.

And helped Indiana go undefeated and win the 1945 Big Ten Championship.

Different era. Different kind of tough.

Pete Phios: Certified Tough Guy

TOUGH GUY LORE 🥊: Nolan Ryan

August 4, 1993. Robin Ventura gets hit by a Nolan Ryan pitch and decides to charge the mound.

One problem: Nolan Ryan was waiting for him.

The 46-year-old Ryan put the 26-year-old Ventura in a headlock and started throwing punches.

Ryan stayed in the game.
Ventura was ejected.

Maybe don’t charge Nolan Ryan.

Nolan Ryan: Certified Tough Guy.

TOUGH GUY LORE 🥊: Philip Rivers

The Chargers played the undefeated Patriots in the 2008 AFC Championship Game. Philip Rivers played the entire game with a torn ACL. He’d undergone arthroscopic knee surgery six days earlier.

Quarterbacking an NFL team against an 18-0 opponent. On a torn ACL.

Philip Rivers: Certified Tough Guy.
