Summary

Originally aired July 2024. Jennifer Eakins (4for4) and host Thomas Emerick climb back to Mile High in September '99 where the reigning two-time champion Denver Broncos are celebrating the retired John Elway on opening night. How much does the 38-3 January playoff loss still sting for the Fins, especially since that was Dan Marino and John Elway’s final head-to-head? Jennifer was a Dolphins fan in the stadium for Elway Commemoration Night, where Miami looks for some measure of vindication against a largely intact Broncos squad in Brian Griese's debut. This is Remember That Game, the podcast about sporting events that take you on a journey and chart the path of the zeitgeist. I'm your host Thomas Emerick, enjoy the show.
