1. The 1958 NFL Championship Game

When you consider what this game meant to not only the Hall of Fame career of Johnny Unitas and the city of Baltimore but to the empire that is the National Football League, there were no other options for the top spot as America watched the Baltimore Colts defeat the New York Giants in a 23-17 final at Yankee Stadium on Dec. 28, 1958.

Regarded by many as the greatest game ever played, the contest was highlighted by Unitas and future Hall of Fame wide receiver Raymond Berry marching the Colts down the field to set up a game-tying field goal with seconds remaining in regulation. This introduced the country to sudden-death overtime as the game was televised nationwide on NBC.

In the extra period, Unitas directed the Colts down to the 1, where fullback Alan Ameche plunged into the end zone to give Baltimore its first NFL championship and its greatest sports moment that has yet to be topped more than 50 years later.

It didn't even seem possible that colleagues Calvin Statham (59 years) and George Scheulen (46 years). who once taught Nestor at Holabird Junior High School in 1979, could still be teaching him about the important things in life beyond chorus and physics all these years later. Two beloved Baltimore County educators continue trying to tame their rambunctious student for the holidays with music and love (and crab cakes) at Costas Inn in Dundalk.

We're all fed up and should be. Congressman Johnny Olszewski joined Nestor to discuss the lack of focus and progress on Capitol Hill and potential solutions for health care, transparency in government and the use of Trump's absurd pardons as a grifting tool.
