Insiders Only: Bernie’s Thanksgiving NFL Stories. From Dealey Plaza to Jerry Jones (sports)

Happy Thanksgiving from STL Sports Central! In this exclusive Insider episode, Joe Roderick sits down with Bernie Miklasz for "Story Time with Bernie." They take a trip down memory lane to revisit the NFL Thanksgiving Day games Bernie covered in the 1980s.


Bernie shares the untold stories of the 1985 St. Louis Cardinals (The Big Red), detailing a disastrous 5-11 season plagued by drug tests, theft in the locker room, and the eventual firing of head coach Jim Hanifan. He also recounts a surreal Thanksgiving night visit to Dealey Plaza to see the site of the JFK assassination.
