There are losses that can endure for a day or a week or maybe even a year.

But there are losses that some fans deal with that last for years, decades and some that they never get over.

On this edition of the Historically Speaking Sports podcast, Charles Combs and Dana Auguster will reveal the losses that they have endured as fans which they have never gotten over and may have finally come to terms with.

These losses were historically relevant big games, some even championship games. But all of them rank as some of the most memorable moments in the history of sports in this country. We even have a boxing match from the early 1990s that makes the list and no it is not Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson.

Later in the show, we are going to send a shout out to an NFL regular season game from December of 2003.

A game that featured a miraculous finish by a team looking to return to the playoffs. However the team that pulled off the gridiron miracle failed to complete the deal. And to this day, some 22 years later, I still somewhat feel responsible for that teams loss.. Simply because I opened my mouth and said something that I shouldn’t have.

All that and more on this all new edition of the Historically Speaking Sports podcast here on the sports history Network.
