EPISODE SUMMARY

In 2017, the New England Patriots erased a 25-point Atlanta Falcons lead, tying it with under a minute to play and then scored on their first possession of overtime to win Super Bowl LI.

In 1943, Jake LaMotta beat the previously unbeaten Sugar Ray Robinson. This was the second of their six fights.

In 1984, a fortunate carom off a rock sent Hale Irwin's golf ball back to the fairway instead of the Pacific Ocean. He would eventually make birdie to force a playoff and win two holes later.

And in 1960, Boston's Bill Russell grabbed 50 rebounds in a 124-100 win over Syracuse.

Stirling Soap - Shave Soaps - This DiSH Testimonial

This episode is brought to you by the Stirling Soap Company. I’m a big fan of shave soap. I’ve been using different brands for years. I recently gave Stirling’s shave soaps a try and I’ve been very happy with the results. Stirling’s shave soaps give you a great lather and a frictionless feel that allows the razor to glide over the skin for a super close shave. No skin irritation and a clean, refreshing feel with no soapy residue after. I can tell you without a doubt, it’s simply the best shave I’ve ever had. My wife has noticed too. And here’s the thing, with the ability to purchase one ounce sample pucks, you can try out different scents to find the right one for you. Give Stirling Soap a try today. Visit Stirling Soap dot com.
