Description

In the early years of the modern Olympics, the United States wanted a chance to host the new multi sports event. They got their chance in 1904 when the United States was selected to host the third Summer Olympiad. However the city of Chicago was the first choice. After some political maneuvering and backroom deals, the Olympics were moved to St. Louis Missouri. And that was only the beginning of the craziness and the weird nature of these games. Host Dana Auguster takes a look back at the Olympics that most consider the most bizarre ever.

Later in the show he will countdown the 5 most memorable sports moments that celebrated anniversaries this past week including one of the best drafts in NBA history and a Heavyweight boxing rivalry that got its start.

Finally in the "Shout out" portion of the show, we will highlight three legendary stadiums that opened its doors this week in history. These three are equally famous as they are infamous.
