'We want the ball, we're going to win,' Red Right 88 disaster, and the ageless George Blanda hung up the spikes - This DiSH for Jan. 4

In 2004, Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck made a bold statement but didn't deliver.

In 1981, the Cleveland Browns Brian Sipe threw an interception to end their season on a play called 'Red Right 88.' The reason they ran it was due to their kicker struggling to kick the ball straight.

In 1976, 48-year old George Blanda played his final game, wrapping up a 27 year career that spanned four decades.

Also on this day in 2006 (but not mentioned in this episode), #1 Texas beat #2 USC to win the Rose Bowl and the National Championship. Texas' Vince Young scored the game winner in the final seconds.

In 2012, West Virginia beat Clemson 70-33 in the Orange Bowl. It was the most points scored by one team in a bowl game until 2018 when Army equaled that.

And in 1984, Adrian Dantley hit 28 free throws in a game to tie Wilt Chamberlain’s record.
