Speaker 1: Between the legendary Steve Sable and some of the greatest

40
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: players and coaches in NFL history. This show it's like

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: a time capsule. It takes you back to a specific

42
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: period in a player or coaches career. Now. Steve interviewed

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: hundreds of the game's most important figures in his five

44
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: decades as head of NFL Films, and as you'll hear,

45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: he would ask them anything. So today we head to Mississippi,

46
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: where Steve met up with a then twenty six year

47
00:02:49,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: old Brett Farve. Ya On July one, Steve Sable traveled

48
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: to kill, Mississippi current population two thousand three nine to

49
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: interview Brett Farve for the first time. At this point

50
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: in his career, Farv had just completed his fourth season

51
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. He was coming off the first of

52
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: three consecutive m v P Awards, yet he still hadn't

53
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. He was young, electric, and personified

54
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: fund both as a person and in his playing style.

55
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: Everyone wanted to get to know him. That's so hard

56
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: to imagine now, knowing everything we do about Brett. I mean,

57
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: he basically grew up so much in the public eye,

58
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: with his private life on display for everyone. We learned

59
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: about his painkiller addiction, his wife Dianne's breast cancer, and

60
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: our hearts broke when we learned about the death of

61
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: his beloved father Irv, and we cheered for Brett when

62
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: he had the game of his life that night against

63
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders. When Steve went to visit Brett in his hometown,

64
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: he really wanted to get to know Mississippi Brett, where

65
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: he came from, his roots, his family. All of Farve's

66
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: ividio single sees just fascinated Steve and he needed to

67
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: immerse himself in Brett's world to fully grasp it. Now,

68
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: before we dig into the vault, you gotta let me

69
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: set the scene for you. So picture Steve Stables sitting

70
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: alongside Brett Farve on a duck with a muddy body

71
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: of water behind them, both wearing shorts and white polo shirts. Now,

72
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: don't forget this is home to Brett Farve, but certainly

73
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: not for Steve Sable. He doesn't know they have snakes.

74
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: Here's something here when they have snakes here, full of

75
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: them where we're sitting there. Snakes? What kind of snakes?

76
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Those things are poisonous? It will hurt you, you Bay,

77
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: did you ever get bit by one? Of them. No,

78
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: but my younger brother's friend's daughter got bit last week

79
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: here by snake. Now, but some way around here. So

80
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: where are we we're we're if if I was gonna say,

81
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: where are we located? What's the name of the place

82
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: where we're in Hancock County, which is the county right

83
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: next to Louisiana on the bottom left hand corner of Mississippi.

84
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: And this is called Rotten Value, which is um like

85
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: a little So we're sitting on the dock of the

86
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: bay by Rotten Bayou. Yeah, what did you get that name?

87
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm afraid dance. I'm not exactly sure. I guess a

88
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: lot of dirty diapers and trash has been thrown in here.

89
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. But your dad says, you fish here? Yeah,

90
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: what do you catch? Catch? Bass, perch, catfish? Do you

91
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: know how to cook it? Sure? So you can skin

94
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: down south, Steve, listen, No, I know this is so backwoods.

95
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: I turned on the TV last night and they got

96
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: Beverly Hillbillies on PBS, so I know, I know I'm backwoods.

97
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: Back here absolutely, but you know, everybody here press got

98
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: a funny way of talking, like this is kill right, kill,

99
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: but it's spelled Kilien. Now in your name too, is

100
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: pronounced far, but it's spelled f A V R. How

101
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: what is that is that? Is that like a just

102
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: a peculiarity of this area where I think so there

103
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: are some fars down here who spelled their name f

104
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: A r V. My grandfather on my dad's as full

105
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: blooded Indian, you know, I don't know if that has

106
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: anything to do with it. And then my mother's side

107
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: is is kind of a French occasion a little bit.

108
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: Uh So they told me that that her dad ran

109
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: a tavern here. His name was Benny French. Sure did

110
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: for years, and Hurricane Camille wiped it out and redid

111
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: it and eventually sold it off to my uncle. Now,

112
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: the road that we drove up to on is all

113
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: is an all dirt road to this house. And what

114
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: happens when it rains, I mean, how the hell do

115
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: you get in here? Well, you just don't wash your

116
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: car for a while, because, uh, it does get tough.

117
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: I can remember and growing up that most of the

118
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: roads around here we're 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 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: they would cancel uh certain days of school because of

121
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: like up north, you know, if it snows, uh they'll

122
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: council school if it's bad enough. We're down here. If

123
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: if it rains bad enough that the roads are flooded

124
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: and it's dirt and you can forget it. So we

125
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: always prayed for rain. The road here is named the

126
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Irwin Irvan Farr Road, right, but it doesn't it's not

127
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: spelled right. Well, they spell at F A r V.

128
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: So how come nobody you know, if you have a

129
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: road named off do you you think that your dad

130
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: would have gone out there and at least corrected the spelling. Well,

131
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: you know what, we've had had the sign either stolen

132
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: or shot at. So many times shot at a mailbox.

133
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: We used to go down and uh grab mail and

134
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: the mailbox would need to be bent or I'd be gone.

135
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes we'd open up and they'd be firecry because they

136
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: had been popped in it. You know that there's a

137
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: lot of people around here who are proud of the

138
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: things I've done. Shoot at your mailbox. That's the way

139
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: of showing that they're proud of Well, there are some

140
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: who are less, but there there that's that's a uh,

141
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: that's a rarity. Um. But the for the most part,

142
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: the people here are very proud and uh uh kind

143
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: of stick up for me and and your family has

144

Speaker 1: right here. Really now, the people down here, you've got

147
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,839

00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: night told me, well, if Steve and these guys are

157
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: coming down, we've gotta make sure of them something that

158
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: they can relate to to eat. And I said, what, hey,

159
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: when I go to New Jersey, I don't ask for

160
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: crawfish at toufee, I said, I eat what they have. Um,

161
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of like the area. You know,

162
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: you go and you kind of just gonna have a

163
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: cheese steak for all the guys. I doubt it, very seriously,

164
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: red beans and rices on Monday. Um, but yeah, we

165
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: do have a lot of expressions, and um, you grow

166
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: up in the country, you hear all those things and

167
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: then you start putting them together, and then you come

168
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: off with if if I was gonna say somebody is

169
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: really stupid, what would be an expression that you used

170
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: down here? You know, I heard your dad say something

171
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: earlier we're talking. He says, this guy was dumber the

172
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: bag of hammers. Yeah, are dumber in the bag of rocks?

173
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think, uh, um, heck, there's so many,

174
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, but I've I've kind of been a waste

175
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: for so long, and I think when I first got

176
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, Mike Hombre and said, look, I can't

177
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: understand this guy. So I started working on on my

178
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: English a little bit, and so am I saying, so

179
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: he could relate to me. But we've kind of met

180
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: in the middle a little bit. Your mom said she

181
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: sent him book a Mississippi expression, Yeah she did. And

182
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: another one I heard you talked about. You were saying

183
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: it was a running back, and you said that he

184
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: is slower than the steam off horse maneuver. Now is

185
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: there any what how about if you're talking about somebody

186
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: who's really fast? Is there an expression that used for that?

187
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: You know? Oh god, I don't know. So you put

188
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: them on the spot right now. They have to just

189
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: kind of come spontaneous, all right. Well, I just wondered

190
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: if there was, if there's any other those kind of expressions.

191
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: You probably know more of what I said than I know.

192
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: I know all your favorite songs too, That's right, that's right.

193
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: I gotta forget that you might can now whoa, yeah,

194
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: I love it. Can you blame as I thought? You

195
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: hit harder than that? Well, I could sure 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 of 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 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: bread farve, But I can say that about him in

200
00:10:55,600 --> 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
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: and occasionally, that's right, you'd get to witness one in

203
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: the flesh, very special. Let let's let's move on here.

204
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: He really had a mischievous streak. No one pulled pranks

205
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: like bread five. One of the most devious pranks that

206
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: I can recall involved freezing teammates car door shut in

207
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: the winter. So picture this Farve would move the unlocked

208
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: cars to the far end of the team parking lot

209
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. He would blast the air conditioner and

210
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: pour water on the door so they couldn't get in.

211
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 1: His packers teammates would have a long trick through the

212
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: windy parking lot to find their cars sealed shut from

213
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: the ice. Now, naturally, this kind of behavior, if you will,

214
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: dates back to his youth and would occasionally put him

215
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: in the crosshairs of his coach, who just happened to

216
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: be his father. All right, now, when you were a kid,

217
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: did you get in trouble A lot? I don't know,

218
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: compared to other kids, probably yeah, yeah, yeah, you were

219
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: You did get in trouble, well, yeah, if you want

220
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: to call it trouble. Um, I was pretty mischievous, and

221
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: and always I was telling my older brother, yes, 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 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: the football a little bit, And when we were little

224
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: would be at the same school and as my dad

225
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: was practicing after school that was a coach, high school

226
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: football coach. We would go sneak into the cafeterian steal milk. Milk, yeah,

227
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: just because we could do it, you know, just to

228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: steal it or did you're drinking. We would drink it.

229
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: You know, we're still two or three cartons and it

230
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: was ten cents of carton, you know when we drank

231
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: the milk. And then we'd go over and then why

232
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: my dad was practicing, we'd sneak in the locker room,

233
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: would still gator ate, or we'd still have jocks and

234
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: socks and all this stuff because we wanted to be

235
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: like the grown ups. Um, so we'd have this stuff

236
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: and we have in our drawers here and then you know,

237
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: on Sundays after pro football games, we put them on

238
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: and go out and play. Now, when you were watching,

239
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: when you were a kid growing up, were you a

240
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: big pro football fan? Sure, Um, we only get your

241
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: favorite player, probably Archie Manny. We grew up, as you

242
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: can tell, in an area, but we only got three channels,

243
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: so it was ABC, NBC, and CBS and the only

244
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: game we could get was a Saint and Uh, those

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

246
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: at the most. At the most, you know, a lot

247
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: of brown paper bags were sold in this area. Uh.

248
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: But you know, it was fun watching them and every

249
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: year you just knew that they were going in the

250
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: Super 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 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: And um, Archie was a great player. You know. Unfortunately

253
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: don'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 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: very fortunate to get a chance to play for him because,

258
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: um I got a little extra you know when other

259
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: guys went home after practice and didn't talk football until

260
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: the next afternoon, and we talked it on the ride home,

261
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: when we woke up at more in the morning, um

262
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: at supper at night, before we went to bed. We

263
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 1: were always talking football. And for me, uh, you know,

264
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: for some kiss maybe that's too much, but for me,

265
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. And there were times during practice and

266
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: during games where we kind of butted heads a little bit,

267
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: Like me and Mike do now the quarterback coach. So

268
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: that's this. You know, the quarterback tends to think he

269
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: knows everything and the head coach tends to think he

270
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: knows everything. So so there's some conflict there. But I

271
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: think in the long run, if if you're able to

272
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: work it out, then you can use it to your advantage. Now,

273
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: when you went to high school here, were you a

274
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: quarterback or a linebacker? Running back or what quarterback? Played

275
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: strong safety and punted and kicked and um, they're just

276
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: about everything. Did you get a scholarship to college Southern Mississippi?

277
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: I was, I think two days before the signing date

278
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: college signing date, um our offensive line coaches Southern miss

279
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: gave me a call and said the guy that they

280
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: had wanted backed out and went to school in Florida,

281
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: that now they had an opening for me. Do I

282
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: Did I want to take it? And I said sure

283
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: because I was going to a junior college here and

284
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: and um, South Mississippi. So I was. I was in

285
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: that room and you got so many trophies and stuff,

286
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: and then you think that you would have been more

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

288
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: couple of these big schools after unless the caliber football

289
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: here isn't that good. I mean, how come all of

290
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: those you've got a old trophy case of well m

291
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: vps and stuff. Uh, the caliber football in South Mississippi

292
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: is very good, but we're a smaller school. You've got

293
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: teams like Pascagougle where Terrell Buckley and Shane Matthews. What's

294
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: the name of that schooling Pascagoula, huh, which is ah,

295
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: it's probably a fift hundred uh student high school where

296
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: we were like three fifty. And then there's Gutboard High

297
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: School that put out basketball players like Chris Jackson. Chris Jackson,

298
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: but you were like all league and you must have

299
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: been who I was, but it was still surprisingly you

300
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't get a you know, an offer from from Alabama letters. No,

301
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: it's just just a bunch of letters, you know, pole letters,

302
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: and and said, you know, this is great. But when

303
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: it came time to offer in scholarships, I guess they said, look, um,

304
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, your dad didn't throw the ball very much

305
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: on your high school team. I think my senior year

306
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: through for four n yards. Um, so we don't know

307
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: if you can throw or not. You know, you got

308
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: a strong arm. But whether or not you can you

309
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: know you can do it on a college level, we

310
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: don't know, um, and I can see where they were

311
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: coming from. But you know, we won and the bottom

312
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: line was winning. And I don't think Dad really cared

313
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: whether you know, we threw in one and we ran

314
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: in in one. What was your favorite subject in school? Math? Really? Yeah?

315
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: That was that? That was the subject you look forward

316
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: to going to I look forward to it. U. I

317
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: never look forward to going to school period, But since

318
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: I had to go, math was was the one hour

319
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: I could get through pretty easy. Now, your mom tells

320
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: me that you never studied, You never brought home books,

321
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: but you just must. But you always had good grades.

322
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: How did you do that? Well? I always felt like

323
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: when I left school that now it was time to,

324
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, to play. Yeah, so I said, heck, I'll

325
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: do all my homework at school. I'll study at school.

326
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: We used to paid attention in class, and I paid attention.

327
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: I went ten years of of grade school without missing

328
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: a day of school. Um, so you never missed a

329
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: day of school. What happens when it rained, and the

330
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: and the and the road got money, your school was

331
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: canceled Okay, then I would miss But but if if

332
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: school was going on, then I went. Your mom seems

333
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: to me to be the real athlete, because you have

334
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: two brothers that are good athletes, and your mom is

335
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, she must because I think all good athletes

336
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: get it from their mother's side as opposed to their father's. Well,

337
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: you know, I think both of them would like to

338
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: bargain for that, uh for that that statement. But and

339
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: I think a little bit of both. My mother was

340
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: a basketball player back when they played uh I think

341
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: it was six man basketball or something. Um, she's not

342
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: that old, but my goodness, six man basketball. And then

343
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: my dad, of course, he likes to think that. He

344
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: likes to boast around town that I got my arm

345
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: from him. Um. 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 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: of his sons played quarterback. Now what about your your grandma?

349
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: She has she has an interesting past. Two meet me

350
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: mall mem Yeah, now she knew al capone memo is

351
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: up here on the dock here. Yeah, she's listening, Um

352
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: she yeah, I don't know too many people she doesn't know, um,

353
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: but she you're right, she has a very unique past

354
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: and president. Okay, is that right? Memal didn't hear that?

355
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: He said, you have a very unique past and present.

356
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: That's funny. To go back for a second. Do you

357
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: remember your first experience is playing football as a kid?

358
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: Sure that? Oh yeah, I can remember the first game

359
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: I ever played in, just like it was yesterday. What happened? Well,

360
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: the first of all, it was a as we call it, jamboree.

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

362
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: fifth grader, and you play like a quarter against one team,

363
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: a quarter against another team, and then a half against

364
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: the third team. And I had my uniform on and

365
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: and uh, it was funny because my dad said, I

366
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: gotta get a hair cut first. Your dad told you

367
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: you had to get a hair No, he had to

368
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: get a hair cut. And he was taking me to

369
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: the game. He wasn't my coach. And if he would

370
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: have been, my coach would have been there an hour before.

371
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: So we're go and get it. I go sit in

372
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: the barber shop with full uniform on, and he went

373
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: wait for him to get his crew cut, you know,

374
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: And I didn't have a watch on but I knew

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

376
00:19:42,359 --> 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 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm nervous enough that I gotta play a game because

379
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: I've never played him on before. And uh, 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
00:19:58,880 --> 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 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: it from from flying open, you know, it wouldn't even

386
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: lock anymore. UM. So I jumped out. I run out

387
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: on the field and they had already started playing. I

388
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: was a split in, um and I wasn't quarterback, and

389
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: they put me in like the first play. I think

390
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: I was in. It was the first or second play.

391
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: The guy through one to me. I jumped up and

392
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: caught it and I came down on top of the

393
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: ball and knocking the wind out of me. If you've

394
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: ever had to wind knock out of you, thank you.

395
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: Dal Oh. Yeah, you know I'm I'm you know, I'm

396
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: crying now because I'm late. Now I'm really crying because

397
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: now I think I'm dying because I can't breathe. And

398
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: uh and I jumped up. After I started crying. Everyone

399
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: came out to see if I was okay. You know,

400
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: they picked you up about your pants and the you know,

401
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: the whole deal. Cheerleaders are looking and I said, I

402
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: don't want to play this position anymore. I said, can

403
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: I play quarterback? And so they put me in a

404
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: quarterback when we were running the wishbone and I think

405
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: I ran three touchdowns in that day and the last

406
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: one I ran in I got the got. You know,

407
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: we had you had your fruit looms on, no, no,

408
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, fifth grade and then you pull your pants

409
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 1: over and you had those snap in pads, just snapped

410
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: in hip button the other side pad, and they the

411
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: guy tackled me as I went an ends on and

412
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: just pulled him right down and all sitting him underwear

413
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: and end zone. So yeah, it was a unique end

414
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: Zoe celebration, and it was 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 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: you all sleep in the same bed? That must have

419
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: been a little no. I had a little single bed.

420
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: My older and younger brothers slept together in the king's

421
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: size bed. How how did you get the single I mean,

422
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: if you think you're older brother just got that? How

423
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: did you break that? My? My two brothers like to snuggle,

424
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: as they call it. I was never a big snuggler,

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 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: big bed. I'll take the single bed. Now the three

430
00:22:01,960 --> 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 had 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 --> 00:22:11,360
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 um and and Scott and

435
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: Jeff wouldn't do it, but occasionally say I'm walking around

436
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: the house with BF on their underwear are their T

437
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: shirt or our shoes? Because me and Scott's always worn

438
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: the same pair of shoes, and uh, you know, I

439
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: would get very angry because we'd all got somebody else

440
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: is wearing your under packs. Well now I'm pretty used

441
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: to it because I've bought about forty pair of underwear

442
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: and that wack and would you wear the jockeys or

443

Speaker 1: the or the trunks? I kind of got that you

444
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:40,960

Speaker 1: half deal, you know, the half underwear half boxers. Know

00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: what are they called the halfway joe boxers or something

447
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: like that. I don't even know. Well, I can't say.

448
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to know if Brett Farve was a

449
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: boxers or briefs kind of guy. But you gotta love

450
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: that Steve had such a curious mind, even though I

451
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: must admit I am still cry sucking up that he

452
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: asked a grown man about his underpants. When we come back,

453
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: we'll hear about Brett's college and pro experiences, and I

454
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: promise you no more underwear talk. I'm not sure if

Speaker 1: NFL Films Tales from the Vault. Brett farves toughness has

481
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: always been legendary. His determination to never miss a game

482
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: ultimately lead to three hundred and twenty one consecutive starts,

483
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: including the playoffs, the most in league history. But for

484
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: the was that don't know that streak and his toughness

485
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: are even more impressive when you learn about his near

486
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: death experience prior to his senior year in college. It's

487
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: been written about, but hearing it from the mouth of

488
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: bread Farve is chilling. When you went to college and

489
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: then you had that automobile accident, how did that happen? Uh?

490
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: Basically you probably drove right past it because it's only

491
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: about seven tenths of a mouth from where we're sitting

492
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: right now. That sounds like a horrible accident. Well it

493
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: was very fortunate, but also um, very unfortunate. Um that

494
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: was at a time once again back when the road

495
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: now it's been redone and at one time it was

496
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: real gravel and and uh like loose dirt. And I

497
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: was coming home, I was actually coming here and uh

498
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: it's a sharp curve, and went around the curve, probably

499
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: was going faster than I should have been, but you know,

500
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: I've done that a million times and caught the uh

501
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: like the shoulder of the of the dirt you can

502
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: see coming down this road if you you know, if

503
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: you lose it, if you're done, and just lost control

504
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: and try to pull it back on the road. When

505
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: I did and went off the other side, flipped three

506
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: times and hit a pine tree. The car flipped in

507
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: the air three it went down to a dishes. The

508
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: fall guy look like the fall guy, except I came

509
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: away with a few more injuries than then he would. Uh.

510
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: But it was July fourteenth of and was going into

511
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: what I'd hoped to be, you know, like a Heisman

512
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: Trophy senior season, whether right, uh, you know, a small

513
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: school We had a good schedule, playing Alabama, Auburn, Georgia,

514
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: those type of schools, and and was hoping that that

515
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: would propel me into the NFL. So we had a

516
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: good chance. Um. I came away with thirty inch of

517
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: intestines being removed, fractured vertebrae in my back, uh, numerous

518
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: cuts and bruises and and other things. Um, but ended

519
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: up playing on our second game September eight, how many

520
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: weeks after the accident? Was that? Well, I had the

521
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: surgery August to remove the intestines, and then you played

522
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: four weeks later against Alabama? Did the doctor say it

523
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: was okay? For you? Didn't know? They told me I

524
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: needed to sit out the whole year and you and

525
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: you played four weeks four weeks later because you know,

526
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: they said, well, why don't you just take a red

527
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: shirt year because I hadn't red shirt yet, and just

528
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: sit out and come back the following year. Uh, you

529
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: know ready, and it's probably better than you have ever

530
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: had been. And I said, well, you know, this is

531
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be my year, and I think if I

532
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: can come back and prove to everyone that if I

533
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: can play after everything that's happened, and I can play

534
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: any any time. And they said, well, it won't be done.

535
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you're just in too bad of shape and

536
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 1: I've lost thirty five pounds. Um. So I proved them

537
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: wrong and came back and played, and we played Alabama

538
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: that day and beat him. Then you went onto the

539
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 1: NFL and you get drafted by the Falcons German Landville

540
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: as a coach. Now, I old Jerry Granville, and I

541
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: know you pretty well, and you think that that'd be

542
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: a good combination, you know, and it wasn't. What happened.

543
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: How come I didn't work well? The way I look

544
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: at it, the old saying opposite of tracks, that's true.

545
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: Me and Mike Honggan are totally opp but we get

546
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: along very well. Me and Jerry were too much like

547
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: you know, Atlanta wasn't big enough for the two of us,

548
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: and and obviously he had a lot more power than

549
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: I had. So I was gone and he stayed. Um.

550
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: You know, he want you describe your lifestyle when you

551
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: were in Atlanta then when you were just Oh it

552
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: was free spirited, you know, having fun, going out every night.

553
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: I had friends from high school who lived there. Uh,

554
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: my brother was living with me. Um. I was twenty

555
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: years old half the season. UM had all this money

556
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: and a lot of time, and we just we went

557
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: and play golf every day, and we went out at night.

558
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: And UM. I showed up from meetings and did everything

559
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: I was asked to do. But there was no interest there,

560
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: you know. I didn't from he didn't well, had no

561
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: interest from him and none from me. I mean, and

562
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: I was never really given a chance other than playing

563
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: a little bit in preseason. And then they brought him

564
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: Billy Joe Tolliver and I was never told why he was.

565
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: He was put in the second string and I was

566
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: made third without you know ever you know, a battle

567
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: for it. Um. But I think that's the best thing

568
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: that ever happened to him, he was getting a chance

569
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: to play for Atlanta. When Jerry Glanville said that that

570
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: Bret for was unteachable, that you had a bunch of

571
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: teachers here that read it and sent a letter to

572
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: him saying that you were really a good student, and

573
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: that wasn't you know, that wasn't the right way to

574
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: describe you. Absolutely, I had about five or six teachers

575
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: who who wrote letters. Um. I had elementary teachers, junior

576
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: had teachers and high school teachers who wrote to him,

577
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: um and and basically set him straight. All right. Going

578
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: to going now weard to Green Bay. How would you

579
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: describe your relationship with with Mike, Well, it was it

580
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: started off verry rocky and difficult because the worst we

581
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: were so different. And the way I look at it,

582
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: and I could be wrong, you say you're really different.

583
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: I mean describe you and describe Mike. How why you

584
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: say you're that different. Well, I'm from here. I'm from

585
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: South Mississippi. Mike from San Francisco. And most people in

586
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: the United States, maybe not most people, but have been

587
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: to San Francisco before they've been to South Mississippi. Um,

588
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: and then if they came to South Mississippi, they'd see

589
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: a big difference. I mean everything here is so slow,

590
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: and no one gets in a hurry. There's no traffic.

591
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: I never saw a taxicab untill left high school. Um.

592
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: We basically eat Cajun food around here. It's it's either

593
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: fried shrimp or red beans and rice, or poe boys

594
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: or shrimp creole or something like that. You know, I

595
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: don't we have his diners. You just talk about Friday,

596
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: you know. You guys, that's right. You guys jump out

597
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: of a cab, grab a Philly beef and cheese steak,

598
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: and then you jump back into cab and you go off.

599
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: You know, here, we just take our time. We right

600
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: into town, eat a nice poe boy, and you drink

601
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: your barks root beer. Um. And and that's basically your day. Um.

602
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: And people here talk real low and they have their

603
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: own unique sayings. Um. And and that's kind of how

604
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: they deal with things. I mean, just real slow. And

605
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: then here's Mike who is basically used to a fast

606
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: lifestyle in San Francisco and coaching at b y U

607
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: went in Super Bowls coaching Joe Montana, you know, the

608
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: best quarterback to ever play the game. Then Steve Young um,

609
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: who may be the second best ever play and then

610
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: to uh to go to Green Bay, which obviously was

611
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: a big change for him. Um. And then have bred

612
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: Fave come in, who was just totally unpolished and to

613
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: try you know, I'm sure that's the biggest job he's

614
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: had yet, was to try to make me into a

615
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: great quarterback. And he's he's done a hell of it.

616
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: What did he try to do? What did he focused

617
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: on in the beginning? Well, I think it at first

618
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: he maybe took it a little fast, you know, and

619
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: and because he was so used to everything being perfect

620
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: and winning games and winning Super Bowls that he thought

621
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: he could come right in and do that. But what

622
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: about you, I mean that you obviously we're a good

623
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: student in school. I mean you could pick things up.

624
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: You'd think that that you'd be a quick study. Well

625
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: I was, but you know I had to the third

626
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: game of the season. I had to play UM and

627
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: this is an offense that I'm still learning. UM and

628
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: it's it's been four years. UM. And we basically when

629
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: we went in and we tried to do everything at once,

630
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: and I say, we Mike and the offensive coaches trying

631
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: to say, okay, here it is. Here's a hundred and

632
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: fifty past place we're going into this game with. And

633
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: I thought, guy, this is why it's supposed to be.

634
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: This is gonna be very difficult. Well, eventually, over a

635
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: couple of years now we're going with seventy five. We've

636
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: actually backed off and we said let's learn these first

637
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: and then going to these in the first couple of

638
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: months there, it was not like that. And my head

639
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: was swimming, and I said, God, maybe I'm just an idiot.

640
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: Come to find out that that every guy that's every

641
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: went through this offense has has had that problem. But

642
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: every guy's ever went through this offense had a chance

643
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: to wait. Montana didn't start in his first year, Steve

644
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: Young definitely didn't start in his first year. But I

645
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: had to start in our third game. UM And and

646
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: my head was swimming. I was learning on the run,

647
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: and that's that's the most definitely. It was a game

648
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, and we won that with you know,

649
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: we we got I'm sure you've seen that shot. We've

650
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: got that great shot of you. Yeah, oh yeah, I've

651
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: seen it a million times. And I played horrible up

652
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: until that last drive. I was fumbling, I had dropped interceptions, everything.

653
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: And then Uh, at the end of the game, might

654
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: call some basic plays and he kept repeating them and

655
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: it worked. And then gradually we started working in and

656
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: things that we could do as a team. Well, are

657
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: you the kind of quarterback and likes it when the

658
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: play breaks down and then you've got to be on

659
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: your own resources to make it work. Well, I don't

660
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: want to say I like it, but but if that happens,

661
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: I feel very comfortable in doing it. Um. I'd love

662
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: to be able to drop back, have a perfect pocket

663
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: read for three or four seconds make a throw, but

664
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. So I've always prided myself on

665
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: on no one before I go into a game that

666
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: there's gonna be times where a guy breaks free. You know,

667
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: as great as our offensive line is, somebody's gonna break

668
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: free the guys across somewhere pretty good. So what do

669
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: you do next? You know, I don't look at it

670
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: as okay, I'm going to this game. Everything's gonna be perfect.

671
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: If I get rushed, I'll just throw it away. You

672
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: make most of your big plays when you leave the pocket.

673
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: Now you don't have to be modest on this one.

674
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: You think you have a strong arm, Yeah, I do.

675
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: You know, I've worked ever since I was a little kid.

676
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: I've worked on throwing it as far as anyone else,

677
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: and that's that's hard as far which enabled me to throw.

678
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: You know, in the sixth grade, if I could throw

679
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: fifty yards that man, I could throw thirty pretty hard,

680
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: and then it just gradually got You know, I don't

681
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: work when I when I try to make my arms strong,

682
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: I don't take thirty yard passes and just throw as

683
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: hard as I can. I go by seventy yards and

684
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: try to throw it seventy yards seventy yards and just

685
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: throw it as many times as I can tell my

686
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: arm is about to fall off. Do you ever have

687
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: the criticism thrown at you that you throw the ball

688
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: too hard? At one point? But but not anymore. I

689
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 1: always know I could throw a touch ball. But touch

690
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: balls you explained that what pass? Well, you know everybody

691
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: you throw a football, any person in the world, and

692
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: when I throw it back to you, they probably throw

693
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: it hard. But but a touch passes when a guy's

694
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: twenty ten um yards away and you're able to just

695
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: lob it in their perfect throwing a dart sort of No, No,

696
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: a dart is more of a you know, it's like that, right,

697
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: darks is probably a big game right here. I should

698
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,479
Speaker 1: have said that you're probably pretty good at that, not really,

699
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: because I like to drill it, you know, and then

700
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: you can't pull the darts out of the board. But

701
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: a touch passes. It is hard to do. You know,

702
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: if a guy's running away from you and there's a

703
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: guy guarding him, but he's two yards behind him. Obviously

704
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: can't drill it because you'll hit the defender. But you

705
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: got a better touch It in like a rainbow, and

706
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: it is a hard pass to make. But I feel

707
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: that that I can throw it as well as anyone.

708
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: But uh, someone sees me throw one as hard as

709
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,959
Speaker 1: I possibly can, they say that kids got no touch,

710
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, so, but you've got an interesting motion because

711
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: you really like come light over the top like that is.

712
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: That's something that came naturally to you. It just came natural. Um.

713
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: And god, you know, I'm lucky that that it did,

714
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: because it's one of the best things that's ever happened

715
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: to me. It was my release because it's a quick release.

716
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: It's short and it's snappy, but also you know there's

717
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: a lot of velocity behind it. Now, playing quarterback, do

718
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 1: you think it's better to have a strong arm or

719
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: to be able to make quick decisions? I think quick

720
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: decisions because almost every play is a quick decision. You know,

721
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: if you if you have a strong arm, but you're

722
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: two seconds late, you can forget it. You know, nowadays

723
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: the guys are so good. You know some of your

724
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 1: best athletes at cornerbacks nowadays, and you know these guys

725
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: are getting better and better each year, and having a

726
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: strong larm just doesn't cut it anymore. You have to

727
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of timing, um, And like you said,

728
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: quick decisions. Um, you've got to know before your guy

729
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: and the defender knows where you're going. But that's having

730
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: a strong as arm as you do, that can work

731
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 1: against you, can because you can get overconfident. Just figure

732
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: I think guy's open and you can force it. Right.

733
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: It's kind of like baseball. You take a picture, you

734
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: can He has no junk, you know, he can't throw

735
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: a good curveball, not a good change up. But he

736
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 1: throws the ball so hard he thinks he overpower every

737
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: guy steps into play. So he just drills a fastball

738
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: and there eventually some guy's gonna knock it out the park. Now,

739
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: if we're gonna look at all the interceptions that you're

740
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: thrown in the last three years, what do you think

741
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: would be the cause of most of them? Either you

742
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: made a bad read, your receiver made a bad read,

743
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: or maybe you decided to force the ball in. This

744
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: might be the first plane ever to fly over kill Mississippi, right,

745
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't could be. They may have heard that Steve

746
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: Stables in town that's trying to get that could be,

747
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: But you're right, they don't fly around too often. But

748
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm go ahead continue what we were talking. It's almost

749
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: every interception I've ever thrown has been forced, and that's

750
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: no one to blame it myself. And I can almost

751
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 1: tell you the play every time you know it's it's

752
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: it's one of those things like the minute you let

753
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: it go, you say, oh no, right, yeah, And they're

754
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: mostly all down the middle. Very rarely do you see

755
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: some my ball is being picked off on the outside

756
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: by a cornerback, like a throw that's behind or late.

757
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: Usually it's uh, it's a throw that's been libbed through

758
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: the middle. It's once again at touch pass, which probably

759
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: was an accurate pass. But you you always hear you

760
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: never hang the ball up in the middle because there's

761
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 1: always someone roaming around. Uh you know what. Um. John

762
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: Brody used to play quarterback for the Fortys, used to

763
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: call that pass a st Luke's pass when it's hanging

764
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: up over the middle, because whoever's gonna catch it's gonna

765
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: end up in the hospital because you're gonna, you know, right,

766
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: yous gonna get your gut killed, or you're gonna throw

767
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: an interception unless you just it's I mean, it's a

768
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: perfect throw and it's some time, and that's hard to

769
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: do over the middle. Is that the toughest pass for

770
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: you to throw? It is? Um, I like that pass

771
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: because you know it's it's it's kind of the way

772
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: I've I've grown up. I like to do you know

773
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: when I was playing touch football growing up, and we'd

774
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: be out in the yard play and there'd be ten

775
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: guys wide open, but I always saw the guy who

776
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: was covered because that was the hard one to do.

777
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: And then when you completed, everyone go, WHOA, that's pretty good.

778
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: And that's kind of got me in trou well today,

779
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: you know, a guy looks kind of wide open down

780
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: the middle, but but I know it's a tough pass.

781
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: I'll try to make it, and I just got to

782
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: learn that throwing down the mill is is probably the

783
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: worst place to throw. Ultimately, Farve ended up with a

784
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: much more ignominious record than his consecutive game streak most

785
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: interceptions thrown in NFL history, with three and thirty six.

786
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: So this reminds me of a conversation I had with

787
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: Brett just a few years ago. We were talking about

788
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback he thinks most resembles him in the game today,

789
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: and it's Patrick Mahomes. Of course, both Farv and Mahomes

790
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: coached by Andy Reid. So FARV had said to Read,

791
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: it's got to be a lot easier coaching Patrick Mahomes

792
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: that it is me, and Read said no, so far,

793
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: says Andy you're just being too kind. He never throws interceptions.

794
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,479
Speaker 1: I mean, what fun is that As a coach, don't

795
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: you want a little stress every once in a while.

796
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: As Farve said, he gave Andy plenty. Well, when we

797
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: come back, Steve hit spread with a couple of out

828
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: has always been a natural storytell In fact, over the years,

829
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: anytime that we would sit with him in a television

830
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: production meeting or even in a casual setting, he would

831
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 1: start to spin a yarn. As he might say, you know,

832
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: he'd start talking about something and you'd wonder how we'd

833
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: even gotten on this subject. And of course oftentimes it

834
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: would be some crazy story about his childhood. So when

835
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: you hear these next two stories, this was not unusual

836
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 1: for Brett. Now, your mom was showing me around the

837
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: house earlier in a lot of these candles around here.

838
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: What what was that for all these different like white candles.

839
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: It looked like a voodoo kind of shrine or something.

840
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: Do you know, my goodness, I don't know. Well, your

841
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: mom said something that that the psychic, well, I had, yeah, not.

842
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if mom still does that. But a

843
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, the psychic told me, um, it

844
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: was right when I was still in these four interceptions

845
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: type thing, and she said, next year, you're gonna have

846
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: a great season. This was going into my third year.

847
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: She goes, but she gotta light candles all week long. Oh,

848
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: of course they're still here. Of course people would ride

849
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: by my house and it's smoke come out of windows

850
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: and chimneys and all this stuff. But I told my

851
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: mom about it, and uh, a couple of other friends

852
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: know about it. So everyone was lighting candles. Sure enough,

853
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: through thirty three touchdowns and like seventeen interceptions, and you know,

854
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: we went to the playoffs, won the first round. Well

855
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: then she told me, uh, mid season that year that

856
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: this is not gonna be your best year, that next

857
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: year is gonna be even better. The psychics said yeah,

858
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,240
Speaker 1: and she said just continue to lighting candles and believe

859
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: and all the stuff that that you're gonna do it,

860
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: which I've always done, but I never let candles before.

861
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: So you know, I let some more candles, and after

862
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: a while I kind of quit doing a little bit.

863
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: I kind of got, you know, a little embarrassed. You

864
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 1: guys would come over and the you know, like, you know,

865
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 1: I had a hair on'm going. Uh, but sure enough

866
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: last year was m VP season and um so maybe

867
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, mom and everyone else is still doing it.

868
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a real serious question. You

869
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: look back at your life and there's time you had

870
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: that accident, and you've been at an operating table, and

871
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: you've had seizures, you've been near death. If you had

872
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: died and you hadn't had the opportunity to communicate, to

873
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: let your last words with somebody, what would you regret

874
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: not having told someone if you'd have died in that

875
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: car accident or on that when you had your knee

876
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: operated on? Is there something that you would have regretted

877
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: not communicating to someone then if you'd have died right there. Um,

878
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a tough question. I know, I

879
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: told you was a tough question. You didn't tell me

880
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: coming in, you asked me something like that. I don't know. Uh,

881
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, I've never thought about it that way. Um,

882
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, I guess I just want people to know,

883
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, how how hard it is to two to

884
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: play the sport I do, and how hard it has

885
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: taken me to get here, and that you know, I

886
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: am a good person. And uh, a lot of people

887
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: that I went to high school with, a lot of

888
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: people that I grew up with around here, you know,

889
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't see much anymore. And I think they probably

890
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: um would assume that you know, Bread stuck up and

891
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: now that makes money. You know, he's too good for

892
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: us and all that, you know, which is totally false.

893
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: You know. I think, if anything, people have changed around

894
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: me because they assume too much, um, you know, And

895
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: I wish it wasn't that way. But I bet a

896
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: lot of celebrities and athletes could could relate to that

897
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: because we're basically the same person, if anything, a little

898
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: more humble a little more modest um and fortunate. You know,

899
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm very fortunate because I grew up just like everyone

900
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: else around here. And I just want people to know that,

901
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: um and and and treat me as such and not

902
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: treat me any different. And I know it's hard for

903
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: people to do, but um, you know, if if anything,

904
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: that one thing I try to do is give back

905
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: to two people, you know, whether it's here in Mississippi,

906
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: whether it's in Green Bay, our United States. In general,

907
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: I try to do a lot of things for other people,

908
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: family members, friends, um, And a lot of that goes

909
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,439
Speaker 1: I noticed, you know, a lot of the negative things

910
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: that we do as athletes and celebrities makes the paper.

911
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: And that's the big deal. And that's the unfortunate thing

912
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: about what we do. Why is it so important to

913
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: you to be so tough, to be able throw up

914
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: blood against the Steelers and keep playing play on an

915
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: ankle against the Bears you can hardly walk? I mean,

916
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: is that part of being a quarterback something that you

917
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: don't talk People don't talk about what we're talking about,

918
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: how you make quick decisions, how to have a strong arm.

919
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: But what about the toughness that seems to be so

920
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: important that you to you. You know, I don't think

921
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: it's part of being a quarterback, although nowadays they're they're

922
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: more tough quarterbacks, uh than several years back, you know,

923
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: when we could name a bunch. But it's just part

924
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: of my mentality and how I grew up. And I

925
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: wasn't able to be hurt, um unless I really was hurt.

926
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: You know, you get the wind I gott of you.

927
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: My dad's air screaming at me, get up, you know

928
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: we're playing. I played baseball for him in summer league

929
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: ball when I was eighteen and got hit, you know,

930
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: in the growing area in the mid section, and it

931
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: basically knocked me down the shortstop. And if you ever

932
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: been hit there, you know what it feels like. My

933
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 1: dad's screaming from the doug. I'll throw the damn ball.

934
00:46:58,040 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: So I had to throw it before I lay down.

935
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: To start throwing up on a short stop, I couldn't

936
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: lay there, you know like other guys. Um. And then

937
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: eventually I didn't want to. There was one point where

938
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: I wanted to get the attention and I wanted to

939
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: lay down and have everyone uh look at you and wonder, God,

940
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: is he okay? When you got up there clap for

941
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: you know. Now Bradshaw could really do that. Oh yeah,

942
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: he could play it up bigger than anyone. But you know,

943
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't like to do that. I mean there was

944
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: one point where I did um because I think my

945
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: team needs me too much and I want to be

946
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: out there. We talked a lot of great players. I

947
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: think we just we're talking to Walter Payton and he

948
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: was saying, there's a little voice inside him. It says

949
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: you gotta do better, you gotta do better. I asked

950
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: him at Smith the same question about a little voice

951
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: inside of you, and he says, yeah, it's make it happen,

952
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: Make it happen. Do you have some little like a

953
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: conscience or like a little bit shoulder like, uh, Walter Payton,

954
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: you can do better, you know. As well as I

955
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: played last year, we didn't win the Super Bowl, so um,

956
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 1: there's some room for improvement. Okay, that's it. A little

957
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: over six months after his interview with Steve Brett won

958
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: his first and only Super Bowl, beating the Patriots in

959
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans, about two hours from where this interview took place.

960
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: Over the years, Farv has done many an interview with

961
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: NFL films, but nothing will top Steve and Brett sitting

962
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: on the dock of the Rotten Bayou talking family and football.

963
