(Encore) My Favorite Game: Dan Hoard, 2021 Bengals-Raiders Jul 21, 2026

Show notes

This is an encore presentation of a podcast published July 15th, 2024.

Paul Dehner, Jay Morrison and Mo Egger welcome Bengals radio play-by-play announcer Dan Hoard to our newest show called My Favorite Game. Dan picks the 2021 Bengals-Raiders playoff game as his favorite game from the more than 200 he's called in his Bengals career and we talk through all the big-picture meaning and intricate minutiae that made that night special at Paul Brown Stadium.

From the pandemonium in the seats to the tradition in the bars and Cartier shades on Joe Burrow's eyes, we tackle it all. All four of us rewatched the game and pick the MVP and winner of the night, offer many thoughts on the broadcast, what would have been with the opposite result, most memorable moments and so much more.

Enjoy.
