Speaker 1: been heard before in their entirety Between the legendary Steve

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: Sable and some of the greatest players and coaches in

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: NFL history. This show it's like a time capsule. It

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: takes you back to a specific period in a player

42
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: or coach's career. Now. Steve interviewed hundreds of the game's

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: most important figures in his five decades as head of

44
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: NFL Films, and as you'll hear, he would ask them anything.

45
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: So today we head to Mississippi, where Steve met up

46
00:02:47,840 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: with a then twenty six year old Brett Farve. On

47
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: July first, nineteen ninety six, Steve Sable traveled to Kill,

48
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: Mississippi current population two thousand, three hundred nineteen to interview

49
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: Brett Farve for the first time. At this point in

50
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: his career, Farv had just completed his fourth season in

51
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay. He was coming off the first of three

52
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: consecutive MVP Awards, yet he still hadn't won the Super Bowl.

53
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: He was young, electric, and personified fun, both as a

54
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: person and in his playing style. Everyone wanted to get

55
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: to know him. That's so hard to imagine now knowing

56
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: everything we do about Brett. I mean, he basically grew

57
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: up so much in the public eye with his private

58
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: life on display for everyone. We learned about his painkiller addiction,

59
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: his wife Dianne's breast cancer, and our hearts broke when

60
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: we learned about the death of his beloved father Irv,

61
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: and we cheered for Brett when he had the game

62
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: of his life that night against the Raiders. When Steve

63
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: went to visit Brett in his hometown, he really wanted

64
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: to get to know Mississippi Brett, where he came from,

65
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: his roots, his family, All of Farve's idio single sees

66
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: just fascinated Steve and he needed to immerse himself in

67
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: Brett's world to fully grasp it. Now, before we dig

68
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: into the vault, you gotta let me set the scene

69
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: for you. So picture Steve Sable sitting alongside Brett Farve

70
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: on a dock with a muddy body of water behind them,

71
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: both wearing shorts and white polo shirts. Now, don't forget

72
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: this is home to Brett Farve, but certainly not for

73
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: Steve Sable. He doesn't know they have snakes. He's something

74
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: here where they have snakes here, full of them where

75
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: we're sitting there. Snakes. Yeah, so what kind of snakes? Moccason?

76
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Those things are poisons worthy. Yeah, they will hurt you. Bay.

77
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Do you ever get bit by one of them? No,

78
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: but my younger brother's friend, it's daughter got bit last

79
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,320

Speaker 1: And this is called Rotten Value, which is um like

94
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: here too, right, you're down south, Steve, listen, No, I

95
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: know this is so backwoods. I turned on the TV

96
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: last night and they got Beverly Hillbillies on PBS. So

97
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm backwoods back here absolutely, but

98
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, everybody here press got a funny way of

99
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: talking like this is kill kill, right, kill, but it's

100
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: spelled kiln. Now in your name too, is pronounced far,

101
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: but it's spelled fa v. Now, how what is that?

102
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that like a just a peculiarity of

103
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: this area where I think? So there are some fars

104
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: down here who spelled their name f A r V.

105
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: My grandfather on my dad's eyes, full blooded Indian. I

106
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: don't know if that has anything to do with it.

107
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: And then my mother's side is kind of a French

108
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: occasion a little bit. So they told me that her

109
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: dad ran up a tavern here. His name was Benny French,

110
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: sure did for years, and Hurricane Camill had wiped it

111
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: out and redid it and eventually sold it off to

112
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: my uncle. Now, the road that we drove up to

113
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: on is all is an all dirt road to this house.

114
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: And what happens when it rains, I mean, how the

115
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: hell do you get in here? Well, you just don't

116
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: wash your car for a while, because it does get tough.

117
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: I can remember and growing up that most of the

118
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: roads around here were all dirt and trying to get

119
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: to school in a rainy day was almost impossible. So

120
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: they would cancel certain days of school because of likea

121
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: up north, you know, if it snows, they'll cancel school

122
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: if it's bad enough. We're down here. If if it

123
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: rains bad enough that the roads are flooded and it's dirt,

124
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: and you can forget it. So we always prayed for rain.

125
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: The road here is named the Irwin Irwin Fire Road, right,

126
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: but it doesn't it's not spelled right. Well, they spell

127
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: at F A RV. So how come nobody you know,

128
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: if you have a road named AFT, do you you

129
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: think that your dad would have gone out there and

130
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: at least corrected the spot. Well, you know what, we've

131
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: had the sign either stolen or shot at so many times.

132
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Shot at Yeah, a mailbox. We used to go down

133
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: and grab mail and the mailbox would either be bent

134
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: or it'd be gone. Sometimes we'd open up and they'd

135
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: be firecry because that had been popped in it. You know,

136
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people around here who are proud

137
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: of the things I've done. Shoot at your mailbox Yeah,

138
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: that's the way of showing that they're proud of Well,

139
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: there are some who are, but they're there. That's that's

140
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: a uh, that's a rarity. Um. But the for the

141
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: most part, the people here are very proud and and

142

00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: My mother last night told me, well, if Steve and

156
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: these guys are coming down, we've gotta make sure of

157
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: them something that they can relate to to eat. And

158
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: I said, what Hey, when I go to New Jersey,

159
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't ask for crawfish at Toufe, I said, I

160
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: eat what they have. Um, So it's it's kind of

161
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: like the area. You know, you go and you kind

162
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: of just gonna have a cheese steak for all the guys.

163
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: I doubt it very seriously. Red beans and rice is

164
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: on Monday. But yeah, we do have a lot of expressions.

165
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: And you grow up in the country, you hear all

166
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: those things and then you start putting them together and

167
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: then you look him off with if if I was

168
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: going to say, somebody is really stupid, what would be

169
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: an expression that you used down here? You know, I

170
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: heard your dad say something earlier we were talking to

171
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: He says, this guy was dumbered the bag of hammers. Yeah,

172
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: are dumber in the bag of rocks, you know, I think, Um,

173
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: I heck, there's so many, you know, but I've kind

174
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: of been a waste for so long. And I think

175
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: when I first got to Green Bay, Mike homber and said, look,

176
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: I can't understand this guy. So I started working on

177
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: on my English a little bit, and so am I saying,

178
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: so he could relate to me. But we've kind of

179
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: met in the middle a little bit. Your mom said

180
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: she sent him book a Mississippi expression did, Yeah, she did.

181
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: And another one I heard you talk about. You were

182
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: saying there was a running back and you said that

183
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: he is slower than the steam off horse maneuver. Now,

184
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: is there any what how about if you're talking about

185
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: somebody who's really fast, is there an expression that used

186
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: for that? You know? Oh God, I don't know. So

187
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: you put them on a spot right now. They have

188
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: to just kind of come spontaneous, all right. Well, I

189
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: just wondering if there was, if there's any other those

190
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: kind of expressions. You probably know more of what I've

191
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: said than I know. I know all your favorite songs too.

192
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. I gotta forget that. You might

193
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: can out whoa, Yeah, I love it. Can you blame

194
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: any pay us Bard? I was here. I thought you

195
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: hit harder than that. Well, I could surely use a

196
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: hot dog with chili. We can't catch your damn cold.

197
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: I don't even stretch anymore when I come out here. You,

198
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: thank God never farted. A few people were entertaining his

199
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: bread farve, but I can say that about him in

200
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: real life too. And by the way, over the time

201
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: that I spent with them, far jokes and references were commonplace,

202
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: and occasionally, that's right, you'd get to witness one in

203
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: the flesh. Very special. Let's move on here. He really

204
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: had a mischievous streak. No one pulled pranks like bread five.

205
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: One of the most devious pranks that I can recall

206
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: involved freezing teammates car door shut in the winter. So

207
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: picture this FARV would move the unlocked cars to the

208
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: far end of the team parking lot in Green Bay.

209
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: He would blast the air conditioner and pour water on

210
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: the door so they couldn't get in. His packers teammates

211
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: would have a long trek through the windy parking lot

212
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: to find their cars sealed shut from the ice. Now, naturally,

213
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: this kind of behavior, if you will, dates back to

214
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: his youth and would occasionally put him in the crosshairs

215
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: of his coach, who just happened to be his father.

216
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: All right, now, when you were a kid, did you

217
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: get in trouble A lot? I don't know, compared to

218
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: other kids, Probably yeah, yeah, yeah, you were you did

219
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: get in trouble or you well, yeah, if you want

220
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: to call it trouble. Um, I was pretty mischievous, and

221
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: and always I was telling my older brother Yester who

222
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: went up to the old high school and was throwing

223
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: the football a little bit. And when we were little,

224
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: we'd be at the same school and as my dad

225
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: was practicing after school, was a coach, high school football coach.

226
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: We would go sneak into the cafeterian steal milk. Milk, yeah,

227
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: just because we could do it. You know, it was steal,

228
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: just to steal it or did you're drinking, No, we

229
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: would drink it. You know, we're still two or three cartons,

230
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: and it was ten cents of carton, you know when

231
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: we drank the milk. And then we'd go over and

232
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: then why my dad was practicing, we'd sneak in the

233
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: locker room. We'd still gatorade, or would still have jocks

234
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: and socks and all this stuff because we wanted to

235
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: be like the grown ups. Um, so we'd have this

236
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: stuff and we'd have in our drawers here and then

237
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, on Sundays after pro football games, we'd put

238
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: them on and go out and play. Now, when you

239
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: were watching when you were a kid growing up, were

240
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: you a big pro football fan? Sure? Yeah, we only

241
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: get your favorite player, probably Archie Manny. We grew up

242
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: as you can tell. In an area we only got

243
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: three channels, so it was ABCNBC, and CBS, and the

244
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: only game we could get was the Saints. And those

245
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: are the years the Saints were winning like one game

246
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: at the most. At the most, you know, a lot

247
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: of brown paper bags were sold in this area. But

248
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: you know, it was fun watching them and every year

249
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: you just knew that they were going in to Super

250
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: Bowl that year and they went two or three games.

251
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: But it was but it was a lot of fun

252
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: and um Archie was a great player, you know, unfortunately

253
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: didn't get to play with a great team. Now, your

254
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: dad was a football coach and he's nicknamed the Hammer. Yeah,

255
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: that one of numerous nicknames. But was he tough to

256
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: play for? Yeah? No, Um, I tell people I was

257
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: very fortunate to get a chance to play for him

258
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: because I got a little extra you know, when other

259
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: guys went home out to practice and didn't talk football

260
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: until the next afternoon, and we talked it on the

261
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: ride home, when we woke up at morn in the morning,

262
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: um at supper at night, before we went to bed.

263
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: We were always talking football. And for me, uh, you know,

264
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: for some kiss maybe that's too much, but For me,

265
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it, and there were times during practice and

266
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: during games where we kind of butted heads a little bit,

267
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: kind of like me and Mike do. Now that a

268
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: quarterback coach, So that's this. You know, the quarterback tends

269
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: to think he knows everything and the head coach tends

270
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: to think he knows everything. So so there's some conflict there.

271
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: But I think in the long run, if if you're

272
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: able to work it out, then you can use it

273
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: to your advantage. Now, when you went to high school here,

274
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: were you a quarterback or a linebacker, running back or

275
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: what quarterback? Played strong safety and punted and kicked and

276
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: did just about everything. Did you get a scholarship to

277
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: college Southern Mississippi? Was? I think two days before the

278
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: signing date college signing date, our offensive line coach at

279
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: Southern miss gave me a call and said the guy

280
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: that they had wanted backed out and went to school

281
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: in Florida that now they had an opening for me.

282
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: I did I want to take it? And I said

283
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: sure because I was going to a junior college here

284
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: and and South Mississippi. So I was. I was in

285
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: that room and you got so many trophies and stuff,

286
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: And then you think that you would have been more

287
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: recruited than that, that you know, you'd had a couple

288
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: of these big schools after unless the caliber football here

289
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: isn't that good. I mean, how come all those You've

290
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: got a whole trophy case of well MVPs and stuff. Uh,

291
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: the caliber football in South Mississippi is very good, but

292
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: we're a smaller school. You got teams like Pascagoula where

293
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Terrell Buckley and Shane Matthews. What's the name of that

294
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: schooling Pascagoula, Huh, which is a it's probably a fifteen

295
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: hundred student high school, where we were like three hundred

296
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: and fifty. And then there's Gulpboard High school that put

297
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: out basketball players like Chris Jackson. Chris Jackson. But you

298
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: were like all league and you must have been who

299
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: I was, But it was still surprising you wouldn't get

300
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: a you know, an offer from from Alabama. Letters. Yeah, no,

301
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: it's just just a munch of letters, you know, pile

302
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: letters and and said, you know, this is great, But

303
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: when it came time to offer in scholarships, I guess

304
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: they said, look, um, you know, your dad didn't throw

305
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: the ball very much. On your high school team. I

306
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: think my senior year I threw for four hundred yards.

307
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: Um So, we don't know if you can throw or not.

308
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: You know you got a strong arm, but whether or

309
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: not you can you know you can do it on

310
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: a college level, we don't know. Um and I can

311
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: see where they were coming from. But you know, we

312
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: won and the bottom line was winning it. And I

313
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: don't think dad really cared whether. You know, we threw

314
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: in one and we ran in one. What was your

315
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: favorite subject in school? Math? Really? Yeah? That was? That

316
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: was a subject you look forward to going to I

317
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: look forward to it. I never look forward to going

318
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: to school period. But since I had to go, math

319
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: was it was one hour. I could get through pretty easy. Now,

320
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: your mom tells me that you never study, You never

321
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: brought home books, but you just must. But you always

322
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: had good grades. Yeah, how'd you do that? Well? I

323
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: always felt like when I left school that now it

324
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: was time to, you know, to play. Yeah, so I said, heck,

325
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: I'll do all my homework at school. I'll study at school.

326
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: Us to paid attention in class, And I paid attention.

327
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: I went ten years of grade school without missing a

328
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: day of school. Um So, you never missed a day

329
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: of school. Now what happens when it rained, and the

330
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: and the and the road got money. Well, if your

331
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: school was canceled, oh okay, then I would miss. But

332
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: but if if school was going on, then I went.

333
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: Your mom seems to me to be the real athlete,

334
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: because you have two brothers that are good athletes, and

335
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: your mom is You know, she must, because I think

336
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,479
Speaker 1: all good athletes get it from their mother's side as

337
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 1: opposed to their father's. Well, you know, I think both

338
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: of them would like to bargain for that, for that

339
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: that statement, But and I think a little bit of both.

340
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: My mother was a basketball player back when they played. Uh.

341
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: I think it was a six man basketball or something. Um,

342
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: she's not that old, but my goodness, six man basketball.

343
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: And then my dad, of course, he likes to think that.

344
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: He likes to boast around town that I got my

345
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: armed from him. He was a pitcher in college at

346
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: Southern Mississippi and also played football, but it was it's

347
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: kind of unusual that he played receiver and all three

348
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: of his sons played quarterback. Now what about your your grandmam,

349
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: She has she has an interesting past. Two meet mema

350
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: mem yeah, now she knew al capone memo is up

351
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: here on the dock here. Yeah, she's listening. Um. Yeah,

352
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't know too many people she doesn't know, um,

353
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: but she you're right, she has a very unique past.

354
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: And President Oka is that right memo that say he

355
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: said you have a very unique past in present. That's

356
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: funny to go back for a second. Do you remember

357
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: your first experience is playing football as a kid? Sure? Yeah,

358
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I can remember the first game I ever

359
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: played in, just like it was yesterday. What happened? Well,

360
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: the first of all, it was a as we call it, jamboree.

361
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: It was three games in one day. I was a

362
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: fifth grader and you play like a quarter against one team,

363
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: a quarter against another team, and then a half against

364
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: the third team. And I had my uniform on. And

365
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: it was funny because my dad said, I got to

366
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: get a haircut first. Your dad told you you had

367
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: to get a No, he had to get a hair cut.

368
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: And he was taking me to the game. He wasn't

369
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: my coach, and if he would have been, my coach

370
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: would have been there an hour before. So we go

371
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: and get it. I go sit in the barber shop

372
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: with full uniform on, and he's waiting for your wait

373
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: for him to get his crew cut. Yeah, you know,

374
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: And I didn't have a watch on, but I knew

375
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: that the game was supposed to start about eleven o'clock

376
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: and it was about ten thirty, and we were about

377
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: thirty minutes away. So I'm getting all nervous. You know,

378
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm nervous enough that I got to play a game

379
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: because I've never played him on before. And here is

380
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: my dad's fallen asleep into barber chair trying to get

381
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: a hair cut. So finally he gets done, he says, oh,

382
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't worry about his son. We'll get there. So

383
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: we pull up and our old pickup truck that had

384
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: an extension wire held to the passenger door to keep

385
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: it from from flying open, it wouldn't even lock anymore.

386
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: So I jump out. I run out on the field

387
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: and they had already started playing. I was a split

388
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: in um and I wasn't quarterback. They put me in

389
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: like the first play. I think I was in. It

390
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: was the first or second play. The guy threw one

391
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: to me. I jumped up and caught it, and I

392
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: came down on top of the ball and knock the

393
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: wind out of me. Now, if you've ever had the

394
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: wind knock out of you, thank you dialect time. Oh yeah,

395
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm you know, I'm crying now because I'm late.

396
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: Now I'm really crying because now I think I'm dying

397
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: because I can't breathe. And uh and I jumped up.

398
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: After I started crying. Everyone came out to see if

399
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: I was okay. You know, they picked you up about

400
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: your pants, you know, the whole deal. Cheerleaders are looking

401
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: and I said, I don't want to play this position anymore.

402
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: I said, can I play quarterback? So they put me

403
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: in a quarterback when we were running the wishbone, and

404
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: I think I ran three touchdowns in that day and

405
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: the last one I ran in, I got the gout.

406
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: You know we had you had your fruit looms on

407
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: and you just pour the box trap No, no, you

408
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: know fifth grade and then you pull your pants over

409
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: and you had those snapping pads. Yeah, just snapped in

410
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: hip button the other side pad. And he the guy

411
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: tackled me as I went an endzone and just pulled

412
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: him right down and I'll sitting there him underwear an

413
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: end zone. So yeah, it was a unique end zone

414
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: celebration and it was. Now I can't do that anymore though. Now,

415
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: when you were you were grown up and you were

416
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: living in this house, you had all three of your

417
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: brothers lived in the same room, right right, But did

418
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: y'all sleep in the same bed? That must have been

419
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: a little no. I had a little single bed. My

420
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: older and younger brothers slept together in a king size bed. Well,

421
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: how did you get the single I mean, if you

422
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: think you're older brothers, I just got that. How did

423
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: you break that? My two brothers like to snuggle, as

424
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: they call it. I was never a big snuggle or

425
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: so I said. Look, you guys can snuggle in the

426
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: big bed. I'll take the single bed. Now, three guys too.

427
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: What about all the laundry and stuff you guys must

428
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: have ended up picking up, you know where, at each

429
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: other's clothes and stuff that you have, like name tags

430
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: like for your guys. We'll say I would always mark

431
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: my stuff, and Scott and Jeff would never marked there

432
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: as they didn't care when you marked it. Would you

433
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: write Brett on the on the back of the I'd

434
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: usually write BF on it. Yeah, um, and Scott and

435
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: Jeff wouldn't do it. But occasionally i'd say them walking

436
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,239
Speaker 1: around the house with BF on their underwear? Are their

437
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: T shirt or our shoes because me and Scott's always

438
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: worn the same pair of shoes, and uh, you know,

439
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: I would get very angry because we'd all got somebody

440
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: else is wearing your under pack. Yeah, well now I'm

441
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: pretty used to it because I've bought about forty pair

442
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: of underwear and that wack And would you wear the

443
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: jockeys or the or the trunks? I kind of got

444
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: they'll have to show it. I kind of got the

445
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: half deal, you know, the half underwear half boxers. Yeah,

446
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: what are they called the halfway joe boxers or so yeah,

447
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: something like that. I don't even know. Well, I can't

448
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: say I've always wanted to know if Brett Farve was

449
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: a boxers or briefs kind of guy. But you gotta

450
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: love that Steve had such a curious mind, even though

451
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: I must admit I am still crying up that he

452
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: asked a grown man about his underpants. When we come back,

453

00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back to NFL Films Tales from the Vault. Brett

470
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: Farve's toughness has always been legendary. His determination to never

471
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: miss a game ultimately led to three hundred and twenty

472
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: one consecutive starts, including the playoffs, the most in league history.

473
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: But for those that don't know that streak and his

474
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: toughness are even more impressive when you learn about his

475
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: near death experience prior to his senior year in college.

476
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: It's been written about, but hearing it from the mouth

477
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: of Brett Farve is chilling. When you went to college

478
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: and then you had that automobile accident, how did that happen?

479
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: Basically you probably drove right past it, because it's only

480
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: about seven tenths of a mile from where we're sitting

481
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: right now. That sounds like a horrible accident. Well it was.

482
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: I'm very fortunate, but also very unfortunate. Um that was

483
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: at a time once again, back when the road now

484
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: it's been redone, and at one time it was real

485
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: gravel and and uh like loose dirt, And I was

486
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: coming home. I was actually coming here, and there was

487
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: a sharp curve and went around the curve, probably was

488
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: going faster than I should have been, but you know,

489
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: I'd done that a million times and caught the uh

490
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: like the shoulder of the of the dirt you can

491
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: see coming down this road if you you know, if

492
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: you lose it, you're done. And just lost control and

493
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: tried to pull it back on the road when I

494
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: did and went off the other side. Flipped three times

495
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: and hit a pine tree. The car flipped in the

496
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: air three Yeah. I went down to an those diehard crashes. Yeah,

497
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: like the fall Guy. Yeah, the fall Guy. Yeah, looked

498
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: like the fall Guy, except uh, I came away with

499
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: a few more injuries than then he would. Uh. But

500
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: it was July fourteenth of nineteen ninety and was going

501
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: into what I'd hoped to be, you know, like a

502
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy senior season, whether or not southerns right, yeah, uh,

503
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, a small school. We had a good schedule,

504
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: playing Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, those type of schools, and was

505
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: hoping that that would propel me into to the NFL.

506
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: So we had a good chance. Um. I came away

507
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: with thirty inch of intestines being removed, fractured vertebrae, I back,

508
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: numerous cuts and bruises and and other things. Um but

509
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: ended up playing on our second game September eight. How

510
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: many weeks after the accident? Was that? Well? I had

511
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 1: the surgery August State to remove the intestines and then

512
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: you played played four weeks later against all Did the

513
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: doctors say it was okay? You know? They told me

514
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: I needed to sit out the whole year and you

515
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: and you played four weeks four weeks later because you know,

516
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: they said, well, why don't you just take a red

517
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: shirt year because I hadn't red shirt yet, and just

518
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: sit out and come back the following year. Uh, you

519
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: know ready, and it's probably better than you have ever

520
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: had been. And I said, well, you know, this is

521
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: supposed to be my year, and I think if I

522
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: can come back and roof to everyone that if I

523
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: can play after everything that's happened, then I can play

524
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: any any time. And they said, well, it won't be done.

525
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you're just in too bad of shape. I'd

526
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: lost thirty five pounds. So I proved him wrong and

527
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 1: came back and played, and we played Alabama that day

528
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: and beat him. Then he went on to the NFL,

529
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: and you get drafted by the Falcons. Jerry Glandville's a coach.

530
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 1: Now I know Jerry Glanville and I know you pretty well,

531
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: and you think that that'd be a good combination, you know,

532
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: And it wasn't. What happened. How come I didn't work well?

533
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: The way I look at it, the old saying opposite

534
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: of tracks, Yeah, that's true. Me and Mike Hongen are

535
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: totally opposing, but we get along very well. Me and

536
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: Jerry were too much like you know, Atlanta wasn't big

537
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: enough for the two of us, and obviously he had

538
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: a lot more power than I had. So I was

539
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: gone and he stayed. You know, how would you describe

540
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: your lifestyle when you were in Atlanta then when you

541
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: were just Oh it was free spirited, you know, having fun,

542
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: going out every night. I had friends from high school

543
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: who lived there. My brother was living with me. I

544
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: was twenty years old half the season, had all this

545
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: money and a lot of time, and we just we

546
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: went and played golf every day, and we went out

547
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: at night, and I showed up from meetings and did

548
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: everything I was asked to do. But there was no

549
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: interest there, you know, I didn't from Jerry. He didn't well,

550
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: had no interest from him and none from me. I mean,

551
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: I was never really given a chance other than playing

552
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: a little bit in preseason. And then they brought him

553
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: Billy Joe Tolliver, and I was never told why he was.

554
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: He was put in the second string and I was

555
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: made third without you know, ever, you know, a battle

556
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: for it. But I think that's the best thing that

557
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: ever happened to me was getting a chance to play

558
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: for Atlanta when Jerry Glanville said that that Brett Favre

559
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: was unteachable. So you had a bunch of teachers here

560
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: that read it and sent a letter to him saying

561
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: that you were really a good student, and that wasn't

562
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, that wasn't the right way to describe you. Absolutely,

563
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: I had about five or six teachers who who wrote letters.

564
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: I had elementary teachers, junior high teachers, and high school

565
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: teachers who wrote to him and basically set him straight.

566
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: All right, going to going, Now we're to Green Bay.

567
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: How would you describe your relationship with with Mike? Well,

568
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: it was It started off very rocky and difficult because

569
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: we were so different. And the way I look at it,

570
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: and I could be wrong, you say you're really different.

571
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean, describe you and describe Mike. Why you say

572
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: you're that different? Well, I'm from here. I'm from South Mississippi.

573
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 1: Mike's from San Francisco. And most people in the United States,

574
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: maybe not most people, but have been to San Francisco

575
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 1: before they've been to South Mississippi. And then if they

576
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: came to South Mississippi, they'd see a big difference. I

577
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: mean everything here is so slow, and no one gets

578
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: in a hurry. There's no traffic. I never saw a

579
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: taxicab until left high school. We basically eat Cajun food

580
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: around here. It's either fried shrim for red beans and rice,

581
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: or poe boys or shrimp creole or something like that.

582
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: You know, diners see just till about Friday, right, you

583
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: know you guys, that's right, you guys jump out of

584
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: a cab, grab a Philly beef and cheese steak, and

585
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: then you jump back in the cab and you go off.

586
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: You know, here, we just take our time. We ride

587
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: into town, eat a nice poe boy, and you drink

588
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: your bark root beer. Um and and that's basically your day.

589
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: Um And people here talk real slow, and they have

590
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: their own unique sayings. Um and and that's kind of

591
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: how they deal with things. I mean, just real slow.

592
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: And then here's Mike who is basically used to a

593
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: fast lifestyle in San Francisco and coaching at BYU, went

594
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: in Super Bowls coaching Joe Montana, you know, the best

595
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: quarterback to ever play the game. Then Steve Young Um

596
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 1: who may be the second best ever play and then

597
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: to uh to go to Green Bay, which obviously was

598
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: a big change for him. Um, and then have bred

599
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: Fave come in, who was just totally unpolished, and to

600
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: try you know, I'm sure that's the biggest job he's

601
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: had yet, was to try to make me into a

602
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: great quarterback. And he's done a hell of a je.

603
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: What did he try to do what he focused on

604
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: in the beginning, Well, I think it at first, he

605
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: maybe took it a little fast, you know, and because

606
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: he was so used to everything being perfect and winning

607
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: games and winning Super Bowls that he thought he could

608
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: come right in and do that. But what about you?

609
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: I mean you obviously we're a good student in school.

610
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean you could pick things up. You'd think that

611
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: you'd be a quick study. Well I was, but you know,

612
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: I had to the third game of the season, I

613
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: had to play. And this is an offense that I'm

614
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: still learning, and it's it's been four years. And we

615
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: basically when we went in and we tried to do

616
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: everything at once. And I say we, Mike and the

617
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: offensive coaches trying to say, okay, here it is, here's

618
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty past place. We're going into this

619
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: game with and I thought, guy, this is why it's

620
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be. This is going to be very difficult. Well, eventually,

621
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: over a couple of years now we're going with seventy five.

622
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: We've actually backed off and we said let's learn these

623
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: first and then going to these. And in the first

624
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: couple of months there, it was not like that. And

625
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: my head was swimming, and I said, God, maybe I'm

626
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: just an idiot. Come to find out that that every

627
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: guy that's ever went through this offense has had that problem.

628
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: But every guy's ever went through this offense had a

629
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: chance to wait. My Montana didn't start in his first year.

630
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: Steve Young definitely didn't start in his first year. But

631
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: I had to start in our third game, and and

632
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: my head was swimming. I was learning on the run,

633
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: and that's that's the most difficult. It was a game

634
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, and we won that with you know,

635
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: we got I'm sure you've seen that shot. We got

636
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: that great shot of you in the yeah, oh yeah,

637
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: I've seen him a million times. And I played horrible

638
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: up until that last drive. I was fumbling and I

639
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: had dropped interceptions everything, and then uh, at the end

640
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: of the game, Mike called some basic plays and he

641
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: kept repeating them and it worked, and then gradually we

642
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: started working in things that we could do as a team. Well,

643
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: are you the kind of quarterback that likes it? I

644
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: want to play break down and then you've got to

645
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: be on your own resources to make it work. Well,

646
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to say I like it, but but

647
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: if that happens, I feel very comfortable in doing it.

648
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: I'd love to be able to drop back, have a

649
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: perfect pocket read for three or four seconds, make a throw,

650
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: but that's not going to happen. So I've always prided

651
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: myself on no one before I go into a game

652
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be times where a guy breaks free.

653
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: You know, as great as our offensive line is, somebody's

654
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna break free. The guys across some are pretty good.

655
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: So what do you do next? You know, I don't

656
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: look at it as Okay, I'm going to this game.

657
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: Everything's gonna be perfect. If I get rushed, I'll just

658
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: throw it away. You make most of your big plays

659
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: when you leave the pocket. Now, you don't have to

660
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: be modest on this one. You think you have a

661
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,479
Speaker 1: strong arm, Yeah, I do. You know, I've worked ever

662
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: since I was a little kid, I've worked throwing it

663
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: as far as anyone else, and that's that's hard, or

664
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: as far which enabled me to throw. You know, in

665
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: the sixth grade, if I could throw fifty yards, that

666
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: meant I could throw thirty pretty hard, and then it

667
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: just gradually got You know, I don't work when when

668
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: I try to make more strong, I don't take thirty

669
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: yard passes and just throw as hard as I can.

670
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: I go by seventy yards and try to throw it

671
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: seventy yards seventy yards and just throw it as many

672
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: times as I can tell my arm is about to

673
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: fall off. Do you ever have the criticism thrown at

674
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: you that you throw the ball too hard at one point?

675
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: But but not anymore. I always know I could throw

676
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: a touch ball. But the touch ball is explain that well.

677
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: You know, every you throw a football, any person in

678
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: the world, and when I throw it back to you,

679
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: they probably throw it hard. But but a touch pass

680
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: is when a guy's twenty fifteen, ten yards away and

681
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: you're able to just lob it in their perfect throwing

682
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: a dart sort of no, No, a dart is more

683
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: of a you know, it's like that, right, Well, darks

684
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: is probably a big game right here, I should have

685
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: said that you're probably pretty good at that. Yeah, not really,

686
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: because I like to drill it, you know, and then

687
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: you can't pull the dart side of the board. But

688
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: a touch pass is it is hard to do. You know,

689
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: if a guy's running away from you and there's a

690
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: guy guarding him, but he's two yards behind him. Obviously,

691
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: can't drill it because you'll hit the defender. But you

692
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: gotta better to touch it in like a rainbow. And

693
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: it is a hard pass to make. But I feel

694
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: that that I can throw it as well as anyone.

695
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: But someone sees me throw one as hard as I

696
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: possibly can, they think that kids got no touch, you know. So,

697
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: but you've got an interesting motion because you really like

698
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: come right over the top like that. Is that something

699
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: that came naturally to you? It just came natural, And god,

700
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'm lucky that that it did, because it's

701
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: one of the best things that's ever happened to me.

702
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: It was my release because it's a quick release. It's

703
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: short and it's snappy, but also you know, there's a

704
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: lot of velocity behind it. Now playing quarterback, do you

705
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: think it's better to have a strong arm or to

706
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: be able to make quick decisions. I think quick decisions

707
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: because almost every play is a quick decision. You know,

708
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: if you have a strong arm, but you're two seconds late,

709
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: you can forget it. You know, nowadays the guys are

710
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: so good. You know some of your best athletes at

711
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: cornerbacks nowadays, and you know these guys are getting better

712
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: and better each year, and having a strong lum just

713
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: doesn't cut it anymore. You have to have a lot

714
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: of timing and like you said, quick decisions. You got

715
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: to know before your guy and the defender knows where

716
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: you're going. But as having a strong his arm as

717
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: you do, that can work against you, canic because you

718
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: can get overconfident. Just figure I think guy's open and

719
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: you can force it right. It's kind of like baseball.

720
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: You take a pitcher you can throw ninety five. He

721
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: has no junk. You know, he can't throw a good curveball,

722
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: not a good change up. He throws the ball so

723
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 1: hard he thinks he overpower every guy steps into plate.

724
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: So he just drills a fastball and then eventually some

725
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: guy's going to knock it out the park. Now, if

726
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: we're going to look at all the interceptions that you're

727
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: thrown in the last three years, what do you think

728
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: would be the cause of most of them? Either you

729
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: made a bad read, your receiver made a bad read,

730
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: or maybe you decided to force the ball in force.

731
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: This might be the first plane ever to fly over

732
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: kill Mississippi. Right, I heard a sound? Right? Could be

733
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: they may have heard that Steve Sable is in talent

734
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: trying to get that could be smart. But you're right,

735
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,959
Speaker 1: they don't fly around too often. But I'm go ahead,

736
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: continue what we were talking. It's almost every interception I've

737
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: ever thrown has been forced, and that's no one to

738
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: blame but myself. And I can almost tell you the

739
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: play every time you know it's it's it's one of

740
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: those things like the minute you let it go, you say,

741
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: oh no, right yeah. And they're mostly all down the middle.

742
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: Very rarely do you see some of my balls being

743
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: picked off on the outside by a cornerback, like a

744
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: throw that's behind or late. Usually it's a it's a

745
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: throw that's been libbed through the middle. It's once again

746
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 1: at touch pass, which probably was an accurate pass. But

747
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: you always hear you never hang the ball up in

748
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: the middle because there's always someone roaming around. You know what.

749
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: John Brody used to play quarterback for the forty nine Ers,

750
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: used to call that pass a Saint Luke's pass, and

751
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: it's hanging up over the middle because whoever's gonna catch it,

752
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna end up in the hospital because you're gonna,

753
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, right, you're gonna get your gut killed, or

754
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw an interception unless you just it's I mean,

755
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: it's a perfect throw and it's on time, and that's

756
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: hard to do over the middle. Is that the toughest

757
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: pass for you to throw? It is? I like that

758
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: pass because you know, it's kind of the way I've

759
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: grown up I like to do. You know when I

760
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: was playing touch football growing up, and we'd be out

761
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: in the yard play and it'd be ten guys wide open,

762
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: but I'd always saw the guy who was covered because

763
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: that was the hard one to do. And then when

764
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: you completed, everyone go, WHOA, that's pretty good. And that's

765
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: kind of got me in trouble today. You know, a

766
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: guy looks kind of wide open down the middle, but

767
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: I know it's a tough pass. I'll try to make

768
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: it and I just got to learn that throwing down

769
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: the middle is probably the worst place to throw. Ultimately,

770
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: Farv ended up with a much more ignominious record than

771
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: his consecutive game streak most interceptions thrown in NFL history,

772
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: with three hundred and thirty six. So this reminds me

773
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: of a conversation I had with Brett just a few

774
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: years ago. We were talking about the quarterback he thinks

775
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: most resembles him in the game today, and it's Patrick Mahomes.

776
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: Of course, both far and Mahomes coached by Andy Reid.

777
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: So Farv had said to read, it's got to be

778
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: a lot easier coaching Patrick Mahomes that it is me,

779
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: and Reid said no, So Farvee says, Andy, you're just

780
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: being too kind. He never throws interceptions. I mean, what

781
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: fun is that as a coach. Don't you want a

782
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 1: little stress every once in a while, As Farv said,

783
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: he gave Andy plenty. Well, when we come back, Steve

Speaker 1: Farve has always been a natural storyteller. In fact, over

823
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: the years, anytime that we would sit with him in

824
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: a television production meeting or even in a casual setting,

825
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: he would start to spin a yarn. As he might say.

826
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: You know, he'd start talking about something and you'd wonder

827
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: how we'd even gotten on this subject, and of course

828
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: oftentime it would be some crazy story about his childhood.

829
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: So when you hear these next two stories, this was

830
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: not unusual for Brett. Now, your mom was showing me

831
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: around the house earlier in a lot of these candles

832
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: around here. What was that for all these different like

833
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: white candles. It looked like a voodoo kind of shrine

834
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: or something. Do you know what? Mind goodness, I don't know. Well,

835
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: your mom said something that the psychic, Well, I had

836
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: a yeah, And I don't know if mom still does that.

837
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: But a couple of years ago, the psychic told me

838
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: it was right when I was still in these twenty

839
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: four interceptions type thing, and she said, next year, you're

840
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: gonna have a great season. This was going into my

841
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: third year. She goes, but she gotta light candles all

842
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: week long. Oh, of course they're still here. Of course,

843
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 1: people would ride by my house and had smoke coming

844
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: out of windows and chimneys and all this stuff. But

845
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: I told my mom about it, and a couple other

846
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 1: friends knew about it, so everyone was lighting candles. Sure enough,

847
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: threw thirty three touchdowns and like seventeen interceptions, and you know,

848
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: we went to the playoffs, won the first round. Well,

849
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: then she told me mid season that year that this

850
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: is not going to be your best year. That next

851
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: year is gonna be even better. The psychic said yeah,

852
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: and she said just continue to lighting candles and believe

853
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: and all that stuff that you're gonna do it, which

854
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: I've always done, but I never let candles before. So,

855
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, I let some more candles, and after a

856
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 1: while I kind of quit doing a little bit. I

857
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: kind of got, you know, a little embarrassed. Guys would

858
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: come over and you know, like, you know, I had

859
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: a hair going. But sure enough, last year was the

860
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: MVP season and so maybe you know, mom and everyone

861
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: else is still doing it. I want to ask you

862
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: a real serious question. You look back at your life

863
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: and there's time you had that accident, and you've been

864
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: at an operating table, and you've had seizures and you've

865
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: been near death. If you had died and you hadn't

866
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to communicate, to let your last words

867
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: with somebody, what would you regret not having told someone

868
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: if you'd died in that car accident or on that

869
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: when you had your knee operated on? Is there something

870
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: that you would have regretted not communicating to someone then

871
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: if you'd have died right there. Um, I don't know, man,

872
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: it's a tough question. I know. I told you was

873
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: a tough question. You didn't tell me coming in you

874
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: you ask me something like that. I don't know. Uh,

875
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, I've never thought about it that way. Um,

876
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, I guess I just want people to know,

877
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, how how hard it is to to to

878
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: play the sport I do, and how hard it's taken

879
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: me to get here, and that you know, I am

880
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: a good person, and a lot of people that I

881
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: went to high school with, a lot of people that

882
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 1: I grew up with around here, you know, I don't

883
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: see much anymore, and I think they probably would assume that,

884
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, Bread stuck up and now that he makes money,

885
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's too good for us and all that,

886
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 1: you know, which is totally false. You know. I think,

887
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: if anything, people have changed around me because they assumed

888
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: too much. Um, you know, And I wish it wasn't

889
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: that way. But I bet a lot of celebrities and

890
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: athletes could could relate to that because we're basically the

891
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: same person. If anything, a little more humble, a little

892
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: more modest and fortunate. You know, I'm very fortunate because

893
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: I grew up just like everyone else around here, and

894
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: I just want people to know that and treat me

895
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: as such and not treat me any different. And I

896
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: know that's hard for people to do, but you know,

897
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: if anything, that one thing I try to do is

898
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: give back to two people, you know, whether it's here

899
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: in Mississippi, whether it's in Green Bay or United States.

900
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 1: In general, I try to do a lot of things

901
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: for other people, family members, friends, and a lot of

902
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: that goes I noticed, you know, a lot of the

903
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: negative things that we do as athletes and celebrities makes

904
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: a paper. And that's the big deal. I mean, that's

905
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: the unfortunate thing about what we do. Why is it

906
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: so important to you to be so tough, to be

907
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: able throw up blood against the Steelers and keep playing

908
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: play on an ankle against the Bears you can hardly walk?

909
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, is that part of being a quarterback something

910
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: that you don't talk People don't talk about what you're

911
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 1: talking about. How you make quick decisions, had to have

912
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: a strong arm. But what about the toughness that seems

913
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: to be so important that you to you. You know,

914
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's part of being a quarterback, although

915
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: nowadays there are more tough quarterbacks than several years back.

916
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, we could name a bunch, but it's just

917
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 1: part of my mentality and how I grew up. And

918
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: I wasn't able to be hurt unless I really was hurt.

919
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: You know, you get the wind knock out of you.

920
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: My dad's air screaming at me, get up, you know

921
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: we're playing. I played baseball for him in summer league

922
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: ball when I was eighteen and got hit, you know,

923
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: in the growing area in the midsection, and it basically

924
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: knocked me down the shortstop. And if you've ever been

925
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: hit there, you know what it feels like. My dad's

926
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: screaming from the doug. I throw the damn ball. So

927
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: I had to throw it before I lay down and

928
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: started throwing up on a shortstop. I couldn't lay there,

929
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: you know like other guys. M And then eventually I

930
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,959
Speaker 1: didn't want to. There was one point where I wanted

931
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: to get the attention and I wanted to lay down

932
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: and have everyone look at you and wonder, God, is

933
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: he okay? When you got up there? For you know, now,

934
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: Bradshaw could really do that. Oh yeah, he could play

935
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: it up bigger than anyone. But you know, I don't

936
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: like to do that. I mean there was one point

937
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: where I did because I think my team needs me

938
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: too much and I want to be out there. We

939
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: talked to a lot of great players. I think we

940
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 1: just were talking to Walter Payton and he was saying,

941
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: there's a little voice inside him that says, you gotta

942
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: do better, you gotta do better. I asked him at

943
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 1: Smith the same question about to do a little voice

944
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: inside of you, and he says, yeah, it's make it happen,

945
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: Make it happen. Do you have some little like a

946
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: conscience or like a little bit on your shoulder, like

947
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 1: Walter Payton, you can do better, you know. As well

948
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: as I played last year, we didn't win the Super Bowl,

949
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: so there's some room for improvement. Okay, that's it. A

950
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: little over six months after his interview with Steve, Brett

951
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: won his first and only Super Bowl, beating the Patriots

952
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: in New Orleans, about two hours from where this interview

953
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: took place. Over the years, FARV has done many an

954
