Returning guest Steven Ruiz (The Ringer) and host Thomas Emerick revisit just the most charmingly shambolic game one can find this late in the postseason. Would Steven even imagine ranking Marc Bulger in the public sphere back in '03? Brock Purdy vibes.

Also, intrigue with Kurt Warner on the St. Louis sideline while his Amsterdam Admirals backup Jake Delhomme weathers the storm from The Greatest Show on Turf. Steve Smith throws crossovers at the Rams secondary, football's answer to Allen Iverson. Get him a big statue. It's January 2004, Panthers at Rams.

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. And check out Steven Ruiz's previous appearance on this show, The Comeback in Buffalo.
