In the 1964 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings chose Milt in the twentieth round, number 271 overall. He would play ten seasons in the NFL and would play behind players like Grady Alderman and Mick Tinglehoff. He made one pro bowl in his professional career and was part of the 1969 team that won the last NFL Championship before it was renamed the NFC Championship starting in 1970.

This time on the pigskin tales podcast, I will be talking about a guy who grew up in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He was instrumental in helping Ernie Nevers set a never been touched record of 40 pts in a regular season NFL game. Teammates nicknamed him Big Kies. High School classmates nicknamed him Babe because he hit home runs like Babe Ruth at the time.

Joe Guyon 18:26

Hey friends! On the last episode of the podcast, I wrote a short story on Dave Casper. He was a one of a kind guy who played with the Raiders, Vikings and Oilers. He was born in Bemidji, Minnesota, but grew up in the woods of Wisconsin. Don’t take the literally folks, please. He won a super bowl with the Raiders in 1975 and became the 9th best tight end in NFL history. This time, the tale is about an average Joe from White Earth, Minnesota. He grew up in the same era as Jim Thorpe, played fullback on offense and sideback on defense. Later, the position was renamed to defensive halfback according to him. This, is, Pigskin Tales. The story of Joe, “Big Chief” Guyon.

Dave Casper 16:05

When Dave Casper was a member of the Oakland Raiders, he said “With the Raiders we don’t have to put up with that Mickey Mouse stuff. We don’t have rules about keeping our chinstraps buckled on the sidelines. We don’t have coaches encouraging a lot of false chatter on the practice field. The phony stuff is for losers. We’re treated like intelligent human beings. We don’t live by a lot of degrading rules. Our coaches don’t harass us because they know we’re winners.” Dave Casper was a winner in the National Football League. According to profootballhof.com, he played for eleven seasons with the Oakland Raiders, Houston Oilers, and Minnesota Vikings. He finished his playing career with 5,216 yards receiving on 378 receptions and 52 touchdowns over the course of 147 games. He played in four pro bowls in six and a half seasons with the Raiders, and one with the Houston Oilers. Casper was also named to the All-Pro and All-AFC teams four times. Where does Dave’s story start? I’m going to tell you. This is the story of Dave “the ghost” Casper.

An Honest Guys Work 7:42

منذ 3 years7:42

7:42

For those that are new to listening to the Pigskin Tales Podcast, thanks for choosing to listen. I appreciate the fact that you took the time out of your busy day to find out what this podcast is all about. Before really get into it, I want to take some time to tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Ross and I grew up in a small farming community 25 miles south of Fargo, North Dakota. Colfax, is one of the closest high schools that I attended. Technically it’s in the Richland school district and its comprised of Colfax, Abercrombie, Christine, Galchutt, and Barney. I am part of a family of 3 boys and no sisters. But now that my 2 brothers and I have been married for a while, I can say that I have 2 sisters and a wife. My wife and I don’t have any kids of our own, but we’ve fostered kids within Grand Forks County and since that didn’t work out to adopt, we have now been looking into adopting from the Village. The Village is a small company that helps people in many different ways; like financial counseling, adopting children and just counseling in general. Anyway, my older brother lives with his wife and 2 boys in Minneapolis and my younger brother lives in Waconia with his wife and 5 boys. My younger brother just turned 40 on the 8th and so, now we’re all officially in the 40 and older club. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing. Maybe we’ll just say that we’re all a little older and wiser. Ok, so now that I have that you know a little bit about me and my family, I want to tell you about this podcast. First, the easiest and simplest way of explaining what it is, is a collection of stories I have found on ex-NFL players that came from Minnesota. That’s what it has evolved into. At first, I just started out analyzing Minnesota Vikings players, news, and games that I watched. Then I decided to research the history of the Vikings and try to put it into a biography of sorts. I was attempting to do my own version of ESPN’s 30for30, but that didn’t work out. So really I just wrote the players biography from the internet. I know I am not supposed to use Wikipedia, but I used it for some of the research links. And at the end of an episode, I used to say all the links I used. But then I decided to shorten things up. Now, what I have been doing is sort of the same thing as before, writing a biography about a player, but now I do it in a short series if I can. Some series have gotten really long; like Ernie Nevers, but I been trying to limit myself to only 4 parts so that it doesn’t get too long. If you have listened to this podcast in the past and have enjoyed it, please review my work. I have an email address you can send a message to or you can find my profile on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. I have attempted to create a You-tube account, but have not used that as of late, because my computer doesn’t seem to want to save my video work. So I’m working on saving money to buy a new computer. If you want to send me an email my address is pigskintalespodcast@gmail.com. I also have a patreon account in which you can support me monetarily. There are membership levels so low that it only costs you a dollar to support me if you so choose. I am also part of the sports history network ran by Arnie Chapman who doubles as host of the podcast the Football History Dude. His stuff is good too. Take a listen! He just made his 200th episode! So there ya have it. A little bit about the Pigskin Tales Podcast. I hope you enjoyed listening to this and I hope that you decide to listen to more episodes moving forward.
