Welcome to NFL, explained, I'm Mike 40 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: am joined as always for the fabulous a dd kink 41 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: of Wala in this season of gift giving, right, I mean, 42 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: this is us giving gifts back to the listeners who 43 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: have been gifting us with their time. You know there's 44 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: a listener right now going. You know, you guys are 45 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: so cheap. If this is your gift to us, I 46 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: get it, I get it. I mean what always supposed 47 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: to do, like give all of our listeners something. But 48 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: it's not just about money. It's about time. And we 49 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: did spend time researching some of these interesting questions. I mean, 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, yeah, but I got a 51 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: lot of really interesting questions in my aim mentions. Okay, 52 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: So I feel like we might have gotten more gifts 53 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: than we are giving in this episode, which is kind 54 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: of cool and not necessarily like my life ethos, like 55 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: I like to give a little bit more than I take. 56 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: I think if we all had that, we'd all be 57 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: in a bunch better place. But I say that because 58 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: when you fire off a question like hey, like, what 59 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: do you guys want to hear on NFL? Explain what 60 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: can we answer? People are funny. People are funny. I'm 61 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: telling you some of the acts that I got were comical. 62 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: So I appreciate all the chuckles that I was able 63 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: to get from some of our listeners and greatly appreciate it. Well, 64 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: since we have so many tremendous listeners and we did 65 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: get quite a lot, let's just jump right into it, 66 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: all right. We're gonna start with one of mine, because 67 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: you know, people do at me quite a bit, Mike 68 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: a lot. By the way, if we're doing that, you know, yeah, 69 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: well I do keep track of who's winning on Twitter. 70 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: It ain't me, all right. Our very first one came 71 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: from a gentleman named Tim Proud. Hey, dam thank you 72 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: so much. Here's what he sent to us. Here's one 73 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: for NFL explained terminology. Where did terms like pooch, kick, shovel, pass, muffpunt, pick, 74 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: et cetera all come from? What a great question. That 75 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: is a really great one. All right, So why don't 76 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: you start us with I don't know where pooch actually 77 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: came from. I love how you did that. You said it, 78 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: you set me up for failure. I mean, what kind 79 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: of friend are you? We actually don't have the answer 80 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: for pooch pump, which is just kind of wild. Our 81 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: research team and by the way like, our resources are 82 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: truly amazing. You ask our research team anything, you get 83 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: an answer relatively quickly, and unless you ask them where, 84 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: we don't have that one. So I don't think. All right, 85 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: so that's going to be a part two. We will 86 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: we will find the answer to that. And maybe someone 87 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: listening to us right now knows the answer. So if 88 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: you know the answer of where poosh punk came from, 89 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: please reach out to us. All right, let's move on. 90 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: Shovel past this actually came from basketball, Mike, because it's 91 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: that shovel like motion with your arm. And then as 92 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: for a muff punt, well, that's because a muff is 93 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: a muff. A muff is in the dictionary is failing 94 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: to hold onto a ball when you're trying to catch it. 95 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: I was once at a game in San Francisco where 96 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: a poor young man muffed two punts, two in one game. Actually, 97 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: I think that just happened last weekend in a Bengals game, 98 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: didn't it. That's the other thing I'm learning, not even 99 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: like the origin of these terms from a normal vernacular situation. Here, 100 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: I didn't even know what muff meant, so like formally 101 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: outside of football terms, I never used. I mean, you're 102 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: giving me this look like do you use that's because 103 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: you went to Fordham, you know, if you had an 104 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: Ivy League vocabulary used the word moving right along. And 105 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: interception is often called a pick. Why is it called 106 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: a pick? Because a pick is another word for rob 107 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: like a pickpocket. And what do you do when you 108 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: get an interception? Will you robbed the receiver? And you 109 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: robbed the quarterback of their ball. Here's another one for you, Mike. 110 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: Flee flicker. Fleeflickers actually a very very very long tenured 111 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: part of our vernacular. It was created by the legendary 112 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: you know, versity of Illinois coach Bob Zepka, who described 113 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: it as a dog's flicking action to get rid of fleas. 114 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: So the way that a dog flicks to get rid 115 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: of his fleas is similar to a flee flicker. According 116 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: to Bob Zepka, I'm not sure I really get this one, 117 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: this one, this one, I really like. Sack. Can you 118 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: guess what era the term sack was developed? Because we 119 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: haven't been keeping track of sacks for a very long No, 120 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: you're right, that has been an issue. Although there's a 121 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: part of me that says when we were doing like 122 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: our nicknames, Like you know, we sort of dug into 123 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: the research on some of these defensive teams, and dudes 124 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: just were monsters against offenses. So while it might not 125 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: go like back to the early nineteen hundreds, I would 126 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: imagine it's still I don't know, there's fifties, seventies, something 127 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: along those lines, nineteen sixties, that's right. So Marv Levy, 128 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: the former NFL coach, Marv Levy, he says, the coach 129 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: that he worked for one of his former bosses, George Allen, 130 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: who of course is in the Hall of Fame, who 131 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: coined the phrase the first time. And this is what 132 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: Marv Levy said. He said that George Allen was talking 133 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: the night before a team meeting about playing the Dallas 134 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Dallas Cowboys quarterback who at the time 135 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 1: was Craig Morton, and at the time it would always 136 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: be tackled the quarterback for a loss. But what Marv 137 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: Levy says is the night before this game when the 138 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: Rams played the Cowboys and Craig Morton, George Allen said, 139 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: before we play those Dallas Cowboys, we're going to take 140 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: that more insult and pour him into a sack, and 141 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: so that was the inspiration for the term sack, like 142 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: the history behind it. Never would have guessed that that's where, yeah, 143 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: that that's not where I would have found a little 144 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: bit of a stretch. Um. This one was a little 145 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: bit personal because I do happen to know Bill Freylick, 146 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: and that's pancake. Bill Freylick was an offensive lineman at 147 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: the University of Pittsburgh and he's bocks were so famously 148 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: known for putting a pound its flat on their back. 149 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: This is in the early nineteen eighties that it was 150 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: actually the Pits sports information department that came up with 151 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: the term pancake. And that was during a Heisman campaign 152 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: for an offensive lineman. How about that. Bill Frelick actually 153 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: finished eighth in the Heisman voting in three and six 154 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: people gave him first place votes for that one. That 155 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: is wild. I mean, we always think about the Heisman 156 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: as a quarterback award. Maybe you're talking about running backs, 157 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: but I mean, hell, it's rare. It's a defensive player. 158 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm top ten in voting for an offensive lineman. That's 159 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: got to be as rare as they come. And by 160 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: the way, kudos to a lot of the s I 161 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: d s around the country who work I mean just 162 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: behind the scenes and just crushing it. But to come 163 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: up with something like that, I mean, it's really creative, 164 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: like I think about, although the resources a little bit different. 165 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: But you know, when Joey Harrington was you know, was 166 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: an Oregon quarterback. Uh, you know in New York City, 167 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: you know the huge billboard you see stuff like that 168 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, you know with the mustache. It wasn't a 169 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: Heisman deal, but like you know, send of mustaches everywhere, 170 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: Like that's kind of like the collegiate aspect of the game. 171 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: And that using the pancake deal like that's that's actually 172 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: kind of fun. It is fun. Now here's one that 173 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: there's no way that you'd ever guessed this one. And 174 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: it's funny because I actually wondered about this one too. 175 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: We talked about the shotgun formation, right, So where does 176 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: that name come from? That phrase was coined in nineteen 177 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: sixty And here's what happened. The forty Niners upset the Colts, 178 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: and afterwards reporters were asking forty Niners coach Howard red Hicky, 179 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: you know what was this offensive formation that he used 180 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: that nobody had ever seen before, and so Red Hicky says, well, 181 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: you know it's spread right and spread left, and you know, 182 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: like that's kind of what it was. And the reporters 183 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: are like, yeah, that's not really that creative. So Hicky, 184 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: put on the spot, said well, I'm an old country 185 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: boy and I used to go hunting with a shotgun. 186 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: So how about we just call it the shotgun? If 187 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: we're going to stay weaponizing terms, I guess let's go 188 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: with blitz. So blitz is of course short for the 189 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: German military strategy, which was the Blitzkrieg, and that means 190 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: a sudden overwhelming attack, right. You remember, like the Blitzkrieg 191 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: was sort of the lightning war, So what is a 192 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: sudden overwhelming attack when somebody blitzes you unexpected? That one's 193 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: very appropriate. Yeah, that one seems to make sense. How 194 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: about Bootleg no idea where somebody alright, Bootleg actually comes 195 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: from Pop Warner. He invented both the play and he 196 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: came up with the name. And since we talked about 197 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: history earlier, this one's got its basis in history. To Mike, 198 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: so back during the Prohibition days, bootleggers would hide their 199 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: alcohol in their pants, and the way that they would 200 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: hide their alcohol is very, very similar to the way 201 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback hides the ball from the defense. So that's 202 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: where that one came from. They used to hide their 203 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: alcohol in their pants. You can't do that in today's 204 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: day and age, with skinny jeans just not going to happen. 205 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: So I can't imagine if skinny jeans were all the 206 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: rage during Prohibition, what we'd be calling the bootleg now 207 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Just it might be called something else. 208 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: That's a whole other episode. Maybe we should come up 209 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: with new terms. Yeah, really cool to see some of 210 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: those terms get unleashed and actually a dit before we 211 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: get to the next question. I know there was this 212 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: idea of throwing out the definition of hail Mary. We're 213 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: not going to do that here on this Mailbag edition 214 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: because we have a whole episode coming up on that 215 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: very subject.

We got another question, a 244 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: d D and it comes from James, who says, who 245 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: are the chain crew at games? Not to be confused 246 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: with two chains who I saw in Atlanta one time? 247 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: Are they supplied by the home team? Are they employed 248 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: by the NFL? Are they referee qualified? So many questions, Well, 249 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: we have so many answers for you, James. You gotta 250 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: go back to nineteen o six, and if you missed 251 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: our episode about the history of football, specifically the names, 252 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: go and check that one out, because I feel like 253 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: we name dropped nineteen o six multiple times. Nineteen o 254 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: six first downs were made be picked up by ten 255 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: yards instead of five by the American Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee. 256 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: Initially two members had two light poles or rods that 257 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: were connected at their lower end by a stout cord 258 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: or chain ten yards in length. So it's kind of 259 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: obvious when we start talking about those chain crews. But 260 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: most chain crews they earned seventy five two hundred dollars 261 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: per game, which you're like, you know, that's not a 262 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: lot of coin. Yeah, but think about the view that 263 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: they get on the sideline those numbers. By the way, 264 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: according to an SI article, the Jets, Yo, man, they're 265 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: handling business. They on the upper end of the pay 266 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: scale hundred and fifty. It's not helping them pick up 267 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: some first downs. But the point is the perks they 268 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: include parking, pregame meals, are you kidding me? Bring on 269 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: the extra food, NFL branded gear. So look, I think 270 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of fans that would just do it 271 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: for the merch. I don't think that's kind of crazy, 272 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: because it is really cool to be able to do that. 273 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: But all thirty two NFL teams they have their own 274 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: chain crews. The NFL they actually don't even oversee the 275 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: chains cruise. One thing that I saw that was really 276 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: really fascinating to me. A lot of the chain crew 277 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: roles actually get passed down through families. That actually shocked 278 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: me when I saw that chain crew members. Ninety minutes 279 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: before kickoff, you dress, you get the chain for the field, 280 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: not around your neck, and you ensure that the backup 281 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: sticks are sufficient, and then you go and meet the 282 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: down judge. So just something to consider here when you're 283 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: watching some of these games. Now. The Cruise themselves eight 284 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: plus members, including at least one alternate prior to when 285 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: the pandemic led to cuts on the sideline personnel. Obviously 286 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: that became a little bit of an issue there. But 287 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: the positions of each crew. You got the box man, 288 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: I feel like we're what's the movie where you're like 289 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: about to plan like a either a skate from a 290 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: prison or you're gonna rob a bank. I feel like 291 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: the position Cruise for the um They just have like 292 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: names that associate with that in my mind. You've got 293 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: the box man, the auxiliary box man. Those are the 294 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: dudes in the red smocks opposite sidelines to display the down. 295 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: Two chain men who carry the sticks on the official side, 296 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: one line to gain pole showing the first down spot. 297 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: On the auxiliary side. You've got the clipman, who oversees 298 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: a marker that attaches to the chain at the nearest 299 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: yard line. That's a multiple of five. Their purpose is 300 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: to line back up properly if the crew moves to 301 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: measure on the field or leave their spot to avoid 302 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: getting hit. You've got the data person tracks down down 303 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: the distance in the ball spot, and then a penalty 304 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: card person records the specifics of every single flag. Oceans 305 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: eight is now what I'm calling this crew. I should 306 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: have said that earlier. That was a long winded way 307 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: to me to get to the movie reference. But that's 308 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: where I'm going with it, So James, hopefully that gives 309 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: you a little bit of clarity. And the family thing 310 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: is still what resonates the most with me and DV Well. 311 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a cool thing and if you get 312 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: to see one of your parents or your siblings doing that, 313 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to do the same thing at some 314 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: point too? Yeah? No, sign me up for it. Um. 315 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: This one created a little bit of debate a d 316 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: D on a separate email chain, Daniel fired this off 317 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: to us, Hey gang, first time, long time. I love 318 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: the old school radio reference. I always wondered who was 319 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: the first person to get gatorade dumped on their head 320 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: after a big win? Hashtag yammertime dude, Daniel, love you man? 321 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: Um Okay. According to NFL Films founder Steve Sable, the 322 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: first film evidence of a gatorade shower was when the 323 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: Giants defensive lineman Jim Burt daast Bill Parcels after a 324 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: mid season victory in ur Let's go real deep here. 325 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: Jim Burt Jr. The son of Jim Burt sor clearly 326 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: I went to high school with the d D. Shoutout 327 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: Burken Catholic High School in New Jersey State champs that year. Jim, 328 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, was a two sport athlete at Miami. 329 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: I think he's now a baseball coach. I don't know 330 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: for sure. We don't keep in touch on Facebook like 331 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 1: all adults do at this point. Um, just something to consider. 332 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: And by the way, shout out to Fordham just because 333 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: add was making fun Affordham a little bit earlier. Harry 334 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: Carson continued the tradition. It became popularized when Parcels was 335 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: daust fall in their Super Bowl title in January nine. 336 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: By the way, when Giants defensive lineman Jim Burt doused 337 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: Bill Parcels after a midseason victory in four the research 338 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: film shows yellow the color of that Parcels gatorade bath. 339 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: I'm an orange guy all the way. The biggest question 340 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: I asked you now the D your favorite color. I'm 341 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: definitely in an Orange person also, but let me tell 342 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: you this, since you know we are, let's admit that 343 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: both of us grew up in Jersey, both of us 344 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: grew up Giants fans. Obviously there are all these connections. 345 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: There are indeed claims that it was actually Mike Dicka 346 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: who was doused first, that it was the Bears Dan 347 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: Hampton who gave his head coach Mike Ditka a Gatorade shower. 348 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: So again, we're not one sure it was maybe coach Parcels, 349 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: it was maybe Coach Ditka, but either way, he's a 350 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: really fun fact. Bill Schmidt, who was Gatoray's head of 351 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: sports marketing, when you heard John Madden describe a gatorade 352 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: shower during a Giants forty Niners playoff game, he said, 353 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: I think I've died and gone to Heaven. Talk about marketing, Yeah, yeah, seriously, 354 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: And all these Madden commercials. I can actually wait to 355 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: see that documentary. I think all of us been watching 356 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: them as we're watching these Sunday NFL games. Is going 357 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: to be really cool and just sort of his impact 358 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: on the game. Uh dd, we got another one. Um, 359 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: do you want to get to this one? For sure? 360 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: I do? Alright, My Flip Taco wrote us and said, 361 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: I'm getting into learning more about football since my boyfriend 362 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: is really into both football and fantasy football. I'd love 363 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: to hear information about the rules and the pielon even 364 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: uniforms as they've changed over the years. And Flip Taco, 365 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: I love this last line. Thank you so much, she says, 366 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: I just love this podcast so I can learn more. 367 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: Everybody listen to Flip Taco and Flip Tacco's boyfriend. You've 368 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: got yourself a keeper right there. Well, the pylon, let 369 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: me tell you us because yeah, you know this, I 370 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: am very fascinated by the pylon camera. So we are 371 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: definitely going to have a whole episode on the pylon 372 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: and the pylon camera at some point, but just a 373 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: few really fun facts on the pylon right now. It 374 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: was created by Irwin Bud shop Bell. He was a 375 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: Big ten and high school official from Ohio and back 376 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: in March of nineteen sixty eight is when he patented 377 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: a corner marker for football fields. Pylons were first used 378 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: in the NFL in Super Bowl seven in January of 379 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, and they became standardized in the NFL 380 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: at the owners meetings. Two years later, they replaced flags 381 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: to mark the corners of the end zones. And look, 382 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: the flag staffs used to be steel, which is a 383 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: lot more dangerous than the rubber pliable material that pylons 384 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: are made from. The weighted pylons replaced spring coiled pylons 385 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: in the early nineteen nineties. And our friend Neil Gilman 386 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: over at Gilman Gear remember him from the field Goal episode. 387 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: He's the one that introduced the pylon cam back in 388 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: two thousand twelve. But again, like I teased, we will 389 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: do a whole episode on that one, Mike, looking forward 390 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: to that one. We got Alan who also fired off 391 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: a question to the two of us and joined the 392 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: podcast almost as much as Addy's weekly calls on the 393 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: Ken Carmen Show, regarding questions, what about discussing all the 394 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: nicknames for positions half back, tailback, etcetera. By the way, 395 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: can Carmen radio host which area I'm not familiar with. 396 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: Here's my buddy Cleveland, Cleveland correct Ken Carmen Morning show 397 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, and I joined him once a week and 398 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 1: we have some good conversation. Everybody listen. Well, daily spot, 399 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: there a little fanning Cleveland appreciate the question here, all right, 400 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: So I'll start you want to tag team this sucker 401 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: here because I think there's a lot to unpack because 402 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: we already did an episode. By the way, Alan and 403 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: once again appreciate this question. M player nicknames, so if 404 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: anyone has missed that episode, highly encouraged people to go 405 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: back and check that one out. That was actually a 406 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: lot of fun for us. But we'll give us a 407 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: little bit of shot here. I'll start with the wide receivers. 408 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: I'll let you do the backs here. But before modern football, 409 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: wide receivers were known as split ends and flankers. Split 410 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: ends now known as the X receiver were named after 411 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: the split from the ends of the offensive line, so 412 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: more of just kind of like the geography of where 413 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: they actually were on the field. Ends that were tight 414 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: to the formation became known as tight ends. Flankers now 415 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: known as Z receivers were on the opposite of the 416 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: split ends and often lined up off of the line 417 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. So once again, there's a lot of like 418 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: field geography here when describing some of these positions of 419 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: DV which is a good way to remember these things 420 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: as well, right, because they're not as random as one 421 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: would thing. Okay, now we know that I love running 422 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: the football, so I feel like it's only fair that 423 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: I get to talk about the backs. Is that? Okay? 424 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: Roll with it alright, Well, players that lined up behind 425 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: the offensive line. We're all known as backs because they 426 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: were in the back of the offensive line, and they 427 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: were often lined up in an eye or a split formation, 428 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: so to differentiate they were given names based on their alignments. 429 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: The full backs were the guys that were lined up 430 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: furthest behind the line. Backs that were halfway between the 431 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: line and the full back were called half backs, and 432 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: then the backs that were just a quarter of the 433 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: way from the line to the full back were the quarterbacks. 434 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: How about that? Although now we line up a little 435 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: differently because of course a fullback will be in front 436 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: of a running back, but still, back in the day, 437 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,479 Speaker 1: this made a lot of sense. Yeah, no, I'm with 438 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: you there, Okay. So then the other thing, obviously, Mike, 439 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: that I love besides running the ball is playing really 440 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: really good defense. So let's do some of the defensive 441 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: one edge defenders. I call them that. I actually love 442 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: this because remember in college doing my spatting boards, and 443 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, you kind of just think about d ns, 444 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: and over the last couple years or so you started 445 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: thinking about edge defenders, which was popularized by a Pro 446 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: Football Focus in the last ten years. Is a three 447 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: four ends or a four three defense because they've evolved 448 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: over time. In fact, one of our last episodes about 449 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: defense winning Championships, we actually talked about how the game 450 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: has changed more pass heavy offenses. So the Associated Press 451 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: officially added edge rusher to its All Pro team format. 452 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: In the a P, actually you define edge rusher as 453 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: a four three d ND or a three four outside linebacker, 454 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: which to me, it's not a huge different differentiator between 455 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: edge defenders from linebackers or defensive ends. It's just once 456 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: again sort of the placement that they have on the field, 457 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: but the edge defender primary because the point right, But 458 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: the point, Mike, where we need to make clear is 459 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: that whether you are a four three end or a 460 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: three four linebacker, your job is to rush the past. 461 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: So that's why the edge rusher, whatever edge you're coming 462 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: off of, you're still essentially fulfilling the same purpose, no doubt, 463 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: get after the quarterback and blow up offensive. Please, by 464 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: the way, Sam mic or will who do you like best? Well, 465 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: I'd be a miclimbacker because the mic linebacker is usually 466 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: the one that actually calls out the defense. It's considered 467 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: the quarterback of the defense. And as you know, I'm 468 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: the smartest person in this podcast, and as you know, 469 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm the one that's kind of the quarterback, so makes 470 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. I love it, by the way, 471 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: when the smartest person on the podcast has to say 472 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: it um um, the two of us. But in any case, 473 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: so the Sam, the Mike, and the Will linebackersnemonic terms 474 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: to explain exactly where those linebackers are lined up. The 475 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: Sam is the strong side, the Mic is the middle linebacker, 476 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: and the Will is the weak side linebacker. I just 477 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: like Mike because it's my name, So we'll just roll 478 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: with that, all right, A DD plenty more questions to 479 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: get to, including my favorite one, who is the first quarterback? 480 00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,120 Speaker 1: To actually where plays on a wrist band? To me fastening, 481 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: and we have the answer coming up.

Got some 498 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: good ones still left to fire off, some answers and 499 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: a d D. There was one from Kathy who said 500 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: she really enjoys listening to the podcast, which we absolutely love. 501 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: By the way, make sure you continue to follow us, 502 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 1: rate us, and of course a little little review. We 503 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: love to get some feedback from you. She said, I 504 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: learned a lot of fun and cool facts. I even 505 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: shared the info about the Eagles logo with my son. 506 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: He's a huge Eagles fan. I look forward to hearing 507 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: some cool things about my Broncos. Thanks for listening as always. 508 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, Kathy's making reference to the Eagles 509 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: logo and A D D. If I'm not mistaken, this 510 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: was one of the factoys that you dropped in that episode. 511 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: It's the only one that faces the Eagles logo is 512 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: the only one that faces left, so that the feathers 513 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: can make an e. They're also some fun Broncos stats 514 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: because she's a Broncos fan. A D D. Do you 515 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: want to kind of tag team a couple of these 516 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: cool nugs? Sure? Three championships, eight Super Bowl appearances, ten 517 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: a f C Championship appearances, fifteen a f C West titles, 518 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: twenty two playoff berth twenty nine winning seasons, and the 519 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: fifth best record in the NFL since the nineteen seventy merger. 520 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: Here's another one. They actually the Broncos actually have the 521 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: second best home record since the nineteen seventy merger as well. 522 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: I like that, although recently some of these losses anyway, 523 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: Broncos fans, I know, we're trying to stay positive here. 524 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: By the way, since Kathy mentioned the Eagles logo, let's 525 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: talk about the Broncos logo. It's actually gone through five 526 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: iterations since nineteen sixty. All involve the horse, and the 527 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: first two logos feature man actually riding a horse. So, 528 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: you know, as we start thinking about, you know, the 529 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: different logos, and someone would mention uniforms, by the way, 530 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: like I start thinking about the evolution of some of 531 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: that stuff, and I think we are going to do 532 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: an episode on that. But the real life Bronco Thunder 533 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: in its twenty ninth year as the Broncos live mascot. 534 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: You know, I think about Denver and the state of 535 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: Colorado not too far from Denver is bolder, and clearly 536 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: I know all about see you. But they got Ralphie 537 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 1: and Ralphie you know, the buffalo kind of runs out 538 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: into the field. They're really big on like this whole 539 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: animal you know, themed football situation there. Well, I met 540 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: Sunder the third. There have been three thunders, and I 541 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: met Thunder three or Thunder the third a few years 542 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: ago in Denver. Actually gorgeous, gorgeous pure bred Arabian horse 543 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: and you know he runs from end zoned his end 544 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: zone after every Bonco's touchdown. It's pretty cool. Yeah, very cool. 545 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: Got another one here, great podcast for information. I find fascinating. 546 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: Love it hosts are great together. Oh and I look 547 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: forward to future episodes. So do we do a segment 548 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: on sports media, which, by the way, I love, I 549 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: mean I kind of geek out on It's maybe sometimes 550 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: inside baseball, but um, any fun sports media stuff that 551 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: we can unleash here. Well, let's remind everybody that we did, 552 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: indeed do an episode on Monday Night Football which has 553 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: to do with media, and we had to trim coremendous 554 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: sports media members join us. Then Ron Jowarski and the 555 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: fabulous Melissa Stark. So definitely checked that one out if 556 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: you haven't already. How about this one? The first professional 557 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: football player who was ever on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which, 558 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: of course, when I was growing up, was the mecca 559 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: sports journalism in my mind, that was Hall of Fame 560 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: quarterback Why a tittle back? In nineteen fifty four November 561 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: twenty second, nineteen fifty four, he was part of the 562 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: forty niners million dollar backfield and why A. Tittle was 563 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: a seven time Pro bowler, three time first team All Pro, 564 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: and he was the NFL m v P back in 565 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three. I love it. And you know, we 566 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: made reference to Madden a little bit earlier, and I 567 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: automatically think about the cover of Madden and how much 568 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: of a cool accomplishment the lead that is for players. 569 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: The first NFL player on a Madden cover. Shocked by 570 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: this in some ways just begins you think about some 571 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: of the players that have been on it, and this is, 572 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: I guess, clearly a shot, and I don't mean to 573 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: make it a shot. I was just surprised by it. 574 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco running back Garrison Hearst on Madden, two time 575 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: Pro bowler, almost eight thousand career rushing yards. First NFL 576 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: player on a Madden cover not bad. You know, what's 577 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: one that we may have to do, the Madden curse. 578 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: That's just an urban legend, and we should get some 579 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: of our the Madden cover men to come and join us. 580 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: Does feel weird to you, by the way, on Madden, 581 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: Like I graduated high school in I can't be that 582 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: long ago, and I'm like, oh man, as we're doing 583 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: this over you know video, and I haven't shaved in 584 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: a few days, and I see some white and some 585 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: salt on the side, like I guess, yeah, I guess Madden, 586 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: I'm getting old. D D. Speak for yourself, my friend, 587 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: speak for yourself. Super Bowl one, the very first super Bowl, 588 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: one thousand media credentials were issued, and in fact, NFL 589 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: Commissioner Pete Rozel was so worried about the Super Bowl 590 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: getting enough attention that he gave his PR staff two 591 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars to spend on the media, 592 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: just to make sure that there'd be some hubbub and 593 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: excitement and talking about Super Bowl one. Now, fast forward 594 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: to the last Super Bowl in Miami, and this number 595 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: is actually a little bit depressed because of the pandemic. 596 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: But six thousand media credentials were issued for that Super Bowl. 597 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: I will say that again, there have been more. That's 598 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: not an all time high. We're just going from first 599 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: to the latest. It's still a lot of media members 600 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: watching the games. Okay, this is my favorite one right here, 601 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: our producer Vince Havens, We love Evince. Vince wanted to 602 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: know who is the first quarterback to put all the 603 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: plays on their arm. You know how they wear those wristbands, Mike, 604 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: and they and they write plays on them. Yeah. And 605 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: I've been meaning to ask some of the older quarterbacks 606 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: if the font gets larger the older they catch on 607 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: those wristbands. But I haven't gotten up the courage yet 608 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: to go up to Ben Roethlisberger and say, hey, do 609 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: you need bigger print than you did when you were 610 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: twenty three? In any case, it was back in nineteen 611 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: sixty five when Baltimore Colts quarterback Johnny Unitis and his 612 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: backup Gary Kuozo both suffered season ending injuries, and so 613 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: it was the third string quarterback Tom Matt, who had 614 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: been a running back he was forced to play quarterback. 615 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: And it was offensive coordinator Don McCafferty who thought, hey, 616 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: why don't we do a wristband? And it was actually 617 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: Tom Matt's wife, whose handwriting was small enough and neat 618 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: enough that she helped him right and create this wrist 619 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: band while he started three games, and one of those 620 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: games was in was a playoff game in fact, and 621 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: that original wristband that Tom Matt's wife wrote sits in 622 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame right now. So cool. 623 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: I never would have thought about that. Of course Vince 624 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: did think of that question, so well done by him. 625 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: Dead who helped think of the solution A woman of course? 626 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: Come on, now, well, I just think back to the 627 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: episode when we had Kurt Warner pop on with us 628 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: on other player's work week. If he missed that one, 629 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: make sure you go and check that one out. But 630 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: the pillow talk between Kurt and Brenda, his wife, to 631 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: get him ready for games, and this makes sense and 632 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: a d I think there's one thing that's abundantly clear. 633 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: If I was talented enough to be an NFL quarterback 634 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: and I needed a wristband, I would not be the 635 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: one writing ana because my penmanship is absolutely awful. If 636 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: I had to get one thing for under the tree, 637 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: it would be someone to help me with my penmanship. 638 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: But that's not a gift that I can actually get, 639 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: So that's why I'm here. I would definitely help you 640 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: with that. I do have neat handwriting. But you know what, 641 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: moving on, I have to tell you, I feel like 642 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: this was a super fun episode. We need to do 643 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: one of these regularly. Yeah, we need our listeners to 644 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: yes exactly.
