In this season 33 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: of gift giving, right, I mean, this is us giving 34 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: gifts back to the listeners who have been gifting us 35 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: with their time. You know there's a listener right now going. 36 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: You know, you guys are so cheap. If this is 37 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: your gift to us, I get it, I get it. 38 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: I mean what al we was supposed to do, like 39 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: give all of our listeners something. No, but it's not 40 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: just about money. It's about time, And we did spend 41 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: time researching some of these interesting questions. I mean, I 42 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: don't know about you, yeah, but I got a lot 43 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: of really interesting questions in my AI mentions. Okay, So 44 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: I feel like we might have gotten more gifts than 45 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: we are giving in this episode, which is kind of 46 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: cool and not necessarily like my life ethos, like, I 47 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: like to give a little bit more than I take. 48 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: I think if we all had that, we'd all be 49 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: in a bunch better place. But I say that because 50 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: when you fire off a question like hey, like, what 51 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: do you guys want to hear your on NFL explain? 52 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: What can we answer? People are funny. People are funny. 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Some of the acts that I got 54 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: were comical. So I appreciate all the chuckles that I 55 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: was able to get from some of our listeners and 56 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: greatly appreciate it. Well, since we have so many tremendous 57 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: listeners and we did get quite a lot, let's just 58 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: jump right into it. Let's roll all right, We're gonna 59 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: start with one of mine, because you know, people do 60 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: at me quite a bit, Mike a lot. By the way, 61 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: if we're doing that, you know, yeah, well, I do 62 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: keep track of who's winning on Twitter. It ain't me, 63 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: all right. Our very first one came from a gentleman 64 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: named Tim Proud. Hey, Tim, thank you so much. Here's 65 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: what he sent us. Here's one for NFL explained terminology. 66 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: Where did terms like pooch, kick, shovel, pass, muff, punch, pick, etc. 67 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: All come from? What a great question. That is a 68 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 1: really great one. All right, So why don't you start 69 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: us with pooch? I don't know where pooch actually came from. 70 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: I love how you did that. You said it, you 71 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: set me up for failure. I mean, what kind of 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: friend are you? We actually don't have the answer for 73 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: pooch punt, which is just kind of wild. Our research 74 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: team and by way, like our resources are truly amazing. 75 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: You ask our research team anything, you get an answer 76 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: relatively quickly, and unless you ask them, we don't have 77 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: that one. So I don't think, all right, So Tim, 78 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: that's going to be a part two. We will we 79 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: will find the answer to that, and maybe someone listening 80 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: to us right now knows the answer. So if you 81 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: know the answer of where pooh punt came from, please 82 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 1: reach out to us. All right, let's move on shovel pass. 83 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: This actually came from basketball, Mike, because it's that shovel 84 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: like motion with your arm. And then as for a 85 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: muff punt, well, that's because a muff is a muff. 86 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: A muff is in the dictionary is failing to hold 87 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: onto a ball when you're trying to catch it. I 88 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: was once at a game in San Francisco where a 89 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: poor young man muffed two punts two in one game. Actually, 90 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: I think that just happened last weekend in a Bengals game, 91 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: didn't it. That's the other thing I'm learning, not even 92 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: like the origin of these terms from a normal vernacular 93 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: situation here, I didn't even know what muff meant, soho 94 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: like formally outside of football terms, I never used it. 95 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: I mean, you're giving me this look like that's because 96 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: you went to Fordham. You know, if you had an 97 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: Ivy League vocabulary, you would have used the word moving 98 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: right along. An interception is often called a pick. Why 99 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: is it called a pick because a pick is another 100 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: word for rob, like a pickpocket. And what do you 101 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: do when you get an interception? Will you rob the receiver? 102 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: And you rob the quarterback of their ball? Here's another 103 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: one for you, Mike, fleeflicker. Fleeflickers actually a very, very, 104 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: very long tenured part of our vernacular. It was created 105 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: by the legendary University of Illinois coach Bob Zepka, who 106 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: described it as a dog's flicking action to get rid 107 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: of fleas. So the way that a dog flicks to 108 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: get rid of his fleas is similar to a fleeflicker. 109 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: According to Bob Zepka, I'm not sure I really get 110 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: this one, this one, and this one I really like. Sack. 111 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: Can you guess what era the term sack was developed, 112 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: because we haven't been keeping track of sacks for a 113 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: very long No, you're right, that has been an issue. 114 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: Although there's a part of me that says, when we 115 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: were doing like our nicknames, like you know, we sort 116 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: of dug into the research on some of these defensive 117 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: teams and dudes just were monsters against offenses. So while 118 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: it might not go like back to the early nineteen hundreds, 119 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: I would imagine it's still I don't know, there's fifty sixties, seventies, 120 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: something along those lines. Nineteen sixties, that's right. So Marv Levy, 121 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: the former NFL coach Marv Levy he says the coach 122 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: that he worked for, one of his former bosses, George Allen, 123 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: who of course is in the Hall of Fame, who 124 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: coined the phrase the first time. And this is what 125 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: Marv Levy said. He said that George Allen was talking 126 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: the night before a team meeting about playing the Dallas 127 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Dallas Cowboys quarterback who at the time 128 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: was Craig Morton, and at the time it would always 129 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: be tackle the quarterback for a loss. But what Marv 130 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: Levy says is the night before this game when the 131 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,119 Speaker 1: Rams played the Cowboys and Craig Morton, George Allen said, 132 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: before we play those Dallas Cowboys, we're going to take 133 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: that Morton salt and pour him into a sack. And 134 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: so that was the inspiration for the term sack. I 135 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: like the history behind it. Never would have guessed that 136 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: that's where, Yeah, that's not where I would have found 137 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of a stretch. This one's a little 138 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: bit personal because I do happen to know Bill Fralick, 139 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: and that's pancake. Bill Fralick was an offensive lineman at 140 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: the University of Pittsburgh and he blocks were so famously 141 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: known for putting a pound its flat on their back. 142 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: This is in the early nineteen eighties that it was 143 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: actually the Pitts Sports Information department that came up with 144 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: the term pancake. And that was during a Heisman campaign 145 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: for an offensive lineman. How about that. Bill Freilick actually 146 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: finished eighth in the Heisman voting in nineteen eighty three, 147 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: and six people gave him first place votes for that one. 148 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: That is wild. I mean, we always think about the 149 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: Heisman as a quarterback award. Maybe you're talking about running backs, 150 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,679 Speaker 1: but I mean, hell, it's rare. It's a defensive player. 151 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm top ten in voting for an offensive lineman. That's 152 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: got to be as rare as they come. And by 153 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: the way, kudos to a lot of the sids around 154 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,679 Speaker 1: the country who work i mean just behind the scenes 155 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: and just crushing it. But to come up with something 156 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: like that, I mean, it's really creative. Like I think about, 157 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: although the resources a little bit different. But you know, 158 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: when Joey Harrington was you know, it was an Oregon quarterback. 159 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: You know in New York City, you know the huge billboard, 160 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: you see stuff like that Gardner Minshew, you know with 161 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: the mustache. It wasn't a Heisman deal, but like, you know, 162 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: send a mustaches everywhere, Like that's kind of like the 163 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: collegiate aspect of the game of that using the pancake deal, 164 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: Like that's that's actually kind of fun. It is fun. 165 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: Now here's one that there's no way that you'd ever 166 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: guessed this one. And it's funny because I actually wondered 167 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: about this one too. We talk about the shotgun formation, right, 168 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: so where does that name come from? That phrase was 169 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: coined in nineteen sixty and here's what happened. The forty 170 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: nine Ers upset the Colts, and afterwards reporters were asking 171 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers coach Howard red Hicky, you know what 172 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: was this offensive formation that he used that nobody had 173 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: ever seen before? And so red Hicky says, well, you 174 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: know it's spread right and spread left, and you know, 175 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: like that's kind of what it was. And the reporters 176 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: are like, eh, yeah, that's not really that creative. So Hicky, 177 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: put on the spot, said well, I'm an old country 178 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: boy and I used to go hunting with a shotgun, 179 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: So how about we just call it the shotgun? If 180 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: we're going to stay on weaponizing terms, I guess let's 181 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: go with blitz. So blitz is of course short for 182 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: the German military strategy, which was the Blitzkrieg, and that 183 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: means a sudden overwhelming attack, right, You remember, like the 184 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 1: Blitzkrieg was sort of the lightning war. So what is 185 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: a sudden overwhelming attack when somebody blitzes you affected? That 186 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: one's very appropriate. Yeah, that one seems to make sense. 187 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: How about bootleg? No idea where somebody yeah, all right, 188 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: bootleg actually comes from Pop Warner. He invented both the 189 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: play and he came up with the name. And since 190 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: we talked about history earlier, this one's got its basis 191 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: in history too, Mike. So, back during the Prohibition days, 192 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: bootleggers would hide their alcohol in their pants. And the 193 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: way that they would hide their alcohol is very, very 194 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: similar to the way a quarterback hides the ball from 195 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: the defense. So that's where that one came from. They 196 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: used to hide their alcohol in their pants. You can't 197 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: do that in today's day and age, with skinny jeans 198 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: just not going to happen. So I can't imagine if 199 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: skinny jeans were all the rage during Prohibition, what we'd 200 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: be calling the bootleg now in the NFL just it 201 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: might be called something else. That's a whole other episode. Yeah, 202 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: maybe we should come up with new terms. Yeah, really 203 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: to see some of those terms get unleashed and actually 204 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: a dd before we get to the next question. I 205 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: know there was this idea of throwing out the definition 206 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: of hail Mary. We're not going to do that here 207 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: on this Mailbag edition because we have a whole episode 208 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: coming up on that very subject.

Chedrel the heart 237 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: of progress. We got another question add and it comes 238 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: from James who says, who are the chain crew at games? 239 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: Not to be confused with two chains? Who I saw 240 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: in Atlanta one time? Are they supplied by the home team? 241 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: Are they employed by the NFL? Are they referee qualified? 242 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: So many questions, Well, we have so many answers for you, James. 243 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: You got to go back to nineteen o six, and 244 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: if you missed our episode about the history of football, 245 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: specifically the names, go and check that one out, because 246 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: I feel like we name dropped nineteen o six multiple times. 247 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: Nineteen oh six, first downs were made to be picked 248 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: up by ten yards instead of five by the American 249 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee. Initially, two members had two light 250 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: polls or rods that were connected at their lower end 251 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: by a stout chord or chain ten yards in length. 252 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: So it's kind of obvious when we start talking about 253 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: those chains crews. But most chain crews they earned seventy 254 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: five to one hundred dollars per game, which you're like, yo, 255 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: that's not a lot of coin. Yeah, but think about 256 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: the view that they get on the sideline those numbers. 257 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: By the way, according to an SI article, the Jets, yo, man, 258 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: they're handling business. They on the upper end of the 259 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: pay scale one hundred and fifty. It's not helping them 260 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: pick up some first downs. But the point is the perks. 261 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: They include parking, pregame meals, Are you kidding me? Bring 262 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: on the extra food, NFL branded gear. So look, I 263 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of fans that would just do 264 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: it for the merch. I don't think that's kind of crazy, 265 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: because it is really cool to be able to do that. 266 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: But all thirty two NFL teams they have their own 267 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: chain crews. The NFL they actually don't even oversee the 268 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: chains crews. One thing that I saw that was really 269 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: really fascinating to me, a lot of the chain crew 270 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: roles actually get passed down through families. That actually shocked 271 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: me when I saw that Jane crew members ninety minutes 272 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: before kickoff. You dress, you get the chain for the field, 273 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: not around your neck, and you ensure that the backup 274 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: sticks are sufficient, and then you go and meet the 275 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: down judge. So just something to consider here when you're 276 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: watching some of these games. Now, the Cruise themselves eight 277 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: plus members, including at least one alternate. Prior to twenty twenty, 278 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: when the pandemic led to cuts on the sideline personnel, 279 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: obviously that became a little bit of an issue there, 280 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: but the positions of each crew you got the boxman. 281 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: I feel like we're what's the movie where you're like 282 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: about to plan like a either a skate from a 283 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: prison or you're going to rob a bank. I feel 284 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: like the position crews for the they just have like 285 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: names that associate with that in my mind. You got 286 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: the boxman, the auxiliary boxman. Those are the dudes in 287 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: the red smocks opposite sidelines to display the down. Two 288 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: chain men who carry the sticks on the official side 289 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: one line to gain poll showing the first down spot 290 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: on the auxiliary side. You got the clipman who oversees 291 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: a mark that attaches to the chain at the nearest 292 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: yard line. That's a multiple of five. Their purpose is 293 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: to line back up properly if the crew moves to 294 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: measure on the field or leave their spot to avoid 295 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: getting hit. You got the data person tracks down down 296 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: the distance in the ball spot, and then a penalty 297 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,119 Speaker 1: card person records the specifics of every single flag. Ocean's 298 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: eight is now what I'm calling this crew. I should 299 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: have said that earlier. That was a long winded way 300 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: to me to get to the movie reference. But That's 301 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: where I'm going with it. So James, hopefully that gives 302 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: you a little bit of clarity, and the family thing 303 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: is still what resonates the most with me. Add well, 304 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: I mean it's a cool thing. And if you get 305 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: to see one of your parents so your siblings doing that, 306 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to do the same thing at some 307 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: point too? Yeah? No, sign me up for it. This 308 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: one created a little bit of debate. Add On a 309 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: separate email chain, Daniel fired this off to us, Hey gang, 310 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: first time A long time love the old school radio reference. 311 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: I always wondered who was the first person to get 312 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: gatoray dumped on their head after a big win? Hashtag 313 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: yammertime dude, Daniel, love you man? Okay. According to NFL 314 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: Films founder Steve Sable, the first film evidence of a 315 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: gatorade shower was when the Giants defensive lineman Jim Burt 316 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: daused Bill Parcels after a midseason victory in nineteen eighty four. 317 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: Let's go real deep here. Jim Burt Junior, the son 318 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: of Jim Burt Senior. Clearly I went to high school 319 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: with add shout out Burke in Catholic High School in 320 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: New Jersey State champs that year. Jim, if I'm Not 321 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: Mistaken was a two sport athlete at Miami. I think 322 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: he's now a baseball coach. I don't know for sure. 323 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: We don't keep in touch on Facebook like all adults 324 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: do at this point. Just something to consider and by 325 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: the way, shout out to Fordham, just because Addy was 326 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: making fun of Fordham a little bit earlier. Harry Carson 327 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: continued the tradition. It became popularized when Parcels was dasted 328 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: following their Super Bowl title in January nineteen eighty seven. 329 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: By the way, when Giants defensive lineman Jim burt daused 330 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: Bill Parcels after a midseason victory in nineteen eighty four, 331 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: the research film shows yellow the color of that Parcels 332 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: gatorade bath. I'm an orange guy all the way. The 333 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: biggest question I ask you now, aditi your favorite color. 334 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: I'm definitely in an orange person. Also, I will say, okay, 335 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: but let me tell you this, since you know we are, 336 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: let's admit that both of us grew up in Jersey, 337 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: both of us grew up Giants fans. Obviously there are 338 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: all these connections. There are indeed claims that it was 339 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: actually Mike Dicka who was dowsed first, that it was 340 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: the Bears Dan Hampton, who gave his head coach Mike 341 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: Ditka a Gatorade shower. So again, we're not one hundred 342 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: percent sure it was maybe coach Parcels, it was maybe 343 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: coach Ditka, but either way, he's a really fun fact. 344 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: Bill Schmidt, who was Gatoray's head of sports marketing, when 345 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: he heard John Madden describe a gatorade shower during a 346 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: Giant's forty nine ers playoff game, he said, I think 347 00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: I've died and gone to heaven. Talk about marketing. Yeah, yeah, seriously, 348 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: and all these Madden commercials. I can't actually wait to 349 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: see that documentary. I think all of us been watching 350 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: them as we're watching these Sunday NFL games. It's going 351 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: to be really cool and just sort of his impact 352 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: on the game. Ddy, we got another one. Do you 353 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: want to get to this one? For sure? I do, 354 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: all right. My Flip Taco wrote us and said, I'm 355 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: getting into learning more about football since my boyfriend is 356 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: really into both football and fantasy football. I'd love to 357 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: hear information about the rules and the pylon, even uniforms 358 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: as they've changed over the years. And Flip Tacco, I 359 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: love this last line thank you so much, She says, 360 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: I just love this podcast so I can learn more. 361 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: Everybody listened to Flip Tacco and Flip Taco's boyfriend, You've 362 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: got yourself a keeper right there. Well, the pylon, let 363 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: me tell you this, because yeah, you know this, I 364 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: am very fascinated by the pylon camera. So we are 365 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: definitely going to have a whole episode on the pylon 366 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 1: and the pylon camera at some point, but just a 367 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: few really fun facts on the pylon right now. It 368 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: was created by Irwin Bud shop Bell. He was a 369 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: Big ten and high school official from Ohio and back 370 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: in March of nineteen sixty eight is when he patented 371 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: a corner marker for football fields. Pylons were first used 372 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL in Super Bowl seven in January of 373 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, and they became standardized in the NFL 374 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: at the Owner's meetings two years later. They replaced flags 375 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: to mark the corners of the end zones and look, 376 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: the flagstaffs used to be steel, which is a lot 377 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,239 Speaker 1: more dangerous than the rubber pliable material that pylons are 378 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: made from. The weighted pylons replaced spring coiled pylons in 379 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 1: the early nineteen nineties, and our friend Neil Gilman over 380 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: at Gilman Gear. Remember him from the field Goal episode. 381 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: He's the one that introduced the pylon cam back in 382 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: twenty twelve. But again, like I teased, we will do 383 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: a whole episode on that one, Mike, looking forward to 384 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: that one. We got Alan, who also fired off a 385 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: question to the two of us and joined the podcast 386 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: almost as much as Addi's weekly calls on The Ken 387 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: Carmen Show regarding questions, what about discussing all the nicknames 388 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: for positions halfbacktailback, etc. By the way, Ken Carmen radio 389 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: host which area I'm not familiar with. Here's my body Cleveland, Cleveland. 390 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: Correct Ken Carmen Morning show in Cleveland, and I joined 391 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: him once a week and we have some good conversation. 392 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: Everybody listen, well daily Spot, there a little fanning Cleveland. 393 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: Appreciate the question here, all right, So I'll start. You 394 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: want to tag team this sucker here because I think 395 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot to unpack because we already did an episode. 396 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: By the way, Alan, and once again appreciate this question 397 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: on player nickname, So if anyone has missed that episode, 398 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: highly encouraged people to go back and check that one out. 399 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: That was actually a lot of fun for us. But 400 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: we'll give this a little bit of a shot here. 401 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: I'll start with the wide receivers. I'll let you do 402 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: the backs here. But before modern football, wide receivers were 403 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: known as split ends and flankers. Split ends now known 404 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: as the X receiver, were named after the split from 405 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: the ends of the offensive line, so more of just 406 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: kind of like the geography of where they actually were 407 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: on the field. Ends that were tight to the formation 408 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: became known as tight ends. Flankers now known as Z 409 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: receivers were on the opposite of the split ends and 410 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: often lined up off of the line of scrimmage. So 411 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: once again, there's a lot of like fuel geography here 412 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: when describing some of these positions of dB, which is 413 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: a good way to remember these things as well, right, 414 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: because they're not as random as one would thing. Yeah, Okay, 415 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: now we know that I love running the football, so 416 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 1: I feel like it's only fair that I get to 417 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: talk about the backs. Is that? Okay? Hell yeah, roll 418 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: with it all right, Well, players that lined up behind 419 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: the offensive line, we're all known as backs because they 420 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: were in the back of the offensive line. And they 421 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: were often lined up in any or a split formation, 422 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: so to differentiate they were given names based on their alignments. 423 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: The fullbacks were the guys that were lined up furthest 424 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: behind the line. Backs that were halfway between the line 425 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: and the fullback were called halfbacks, and then the backs 426 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: that were just a quarter of the way from the 427 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: line to the fullback were the quarterbacks. How about that. Yeah, 428 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: although now we line up a little differently because of 429 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: course a fullback will be in front of a running back, 430 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: but still, back in the day, this made a lot 431 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: of sense. Yeah, no, I'm with you there. Okay. So 432 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: then the other thing, obviously, Mike, that I love besides 433 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: running the ball, is playing really really good defense. So 434 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: let's do some of the defensive one edge defenders. I 435 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: would call them that. I actually love this because I 436 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: remember then college doing my spotting boards, and you know, 437 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: you kind of just think about d ns, and over 438 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: the last couple years or so, you start thinking about 439 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: edge defenders, which was popularized by a Pro Football focus 440 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: in the last ten years. Is the three four ends 441 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: or a four three defense because they've evolved over time. 442 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: In fact, one of our last episodes about defense winning championships. 443 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: We actually talked about how the game has changed to 444 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: more pass heavy offenses. So the Associated Press officially added 445 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: edge rusher to its All Pro team format in twenty sixteen. 446 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: The AP actually, you need define an edge rusher as 447 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: a four three d end or a three to four 448 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: outside linebacker, which to me, it not a huge different 449 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: differentiator between edge defenders from linebackers or defensive ends. It's 450 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: just once again sort of the placement that they have 451 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: on the field. But the edge defender primary right, because 452 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: the point right, But the point, Mike, where you need 453 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: to make clear is that whether you are a four 454 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: three end or a three four linebacker, your job is 455 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: to rush the pass. So that's why the edge rusher, 456 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: whatever edge you're coming off of, you're still essentially fulfilling 457 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: the same purpose, no doubt, get after the quarterback and 458 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: blow up offensive plays. By the way, Sam Micher will, 459 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: who do you like best? Well, I'd be a mic 460 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: linebacker because the mic linebacker is usually the one that 461 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: actually calls out the defense. It's considered the quarterback of 462 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: the defense. And as you know, I'm the smartest person 463 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: in this podcast, and as you know, I'm the one 464 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: that's kind of the quarterback, so makes a lot of sense. 465 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: I love it, by the way, when the smartest person 466 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: on the podcast has to say it, but well, I'm 467 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: the two of us. But in any case, so the Sam, 468 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: the Mic and the Will linebackers nemonic terms to explain 469 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: exactly where those linebackers are lined up. The Sam is 470 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: the strong side, the Mic is the middle linebacker, and 471 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: the Will is the weak side linebacker. I just like 472 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: Mike because it's my name, So we'll just roll with that, 473 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: all right. Add plenty more questions to get to, including 474 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: my favorite one, who is the first quarterback? To actually 475 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: where plays on a wrist band? To me? Fascinating and 476 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: we have the answer coming up next.

I even shared the info about 528 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: the Eagles logo with my son. He's a huge Eagles fan. 529 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: I look forward to hearing some cool things about my Broncos. 530 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening as always. And by the way, Kathy's 531 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: making reference to the Eagles logo and add, if I'm 532 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: not mistaken, and this was one of the factoys that 533 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: you dropped in that episode. It's the only one that 534 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: faces the Eagles logo is the only one that faces left, 535 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: so that the feathers can make an e. There are 536 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: also some fun Broncos stats, because she's a Broncos fan. 537 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: Add do you want to kind of tag team a 538 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: couple of these cool nugs? Sure? Three championships, eight Super 539 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: Bowl appearances, ten AFC Championship appearances, fifteen AFC West titles, 540 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: twenty two playoff berths, twenty nine winning seasons, and the 541 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: fifth best record in the NFL since the nineteen seventy merger. 542 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: Here's another one. They actually the Broncos actually have the 543 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: second best home record since the nineteen seventy merger as well. 544 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: I like that although recently some of these losses anyway, 545 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: Broncos fans, I know, we're trying to stay positive here. 546 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: By the way, since Kathy mentioned the Eagles logo, let's 547 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: talk about the Broncos logo. It's actually gone through five 548 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: iterations since nineteen sixty. All involve the horse, and the 549 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: first two logos feature a man actually riding a horse. So, 550 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: you know, as we start thinking about, you know, the 551 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: different logos, and someone would mentioned uniforms by the way, 552 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: like I start thinking about the evolution of some of 553 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: that stuff, and I think we are going to do 554 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: an episode on that. But the real life Broncho Thunder 555 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,959 Speaker 1: in its twenty ninth year as the Broncos live mascot. 556 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: You know, I think about Denver and the state of 557 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: Colorado not too far from Denver is bolder and clearly 558 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: I know all about see you. But they got Ralfie 559 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: and Ralfie you know, the buffalo kind of runs out 560 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: into the field. They're really big on like this whole 561 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: animal you know, themed football situation there. Well, I met 562 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: Sunder the third there have been three thunders, yeah, and 563 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: I met Thunder three or Thunder the Third a few 564 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: years ago in Denver. Actually gorgeous, gorgeous purebred Arabian horse. 565 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: And you know he runs from endzoned end zone after 566 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: every Bronco's touchdown. It's pretty cool. Yeah, very cool. Got 567 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: another one here, great podcast for information. I find fascinating 568 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: love it. Hosts are great together. Oh and I look 569 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: forward to future episodes. So do we do a segment 570 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: on sports media, which, by the way, I love, I 571 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: mean I kind of geek out on It's maybe sometimes 572 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: inside baseball, but any fun sports media stuff that we 573 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: can unleash here. Well, let's remind everybody that we did, 574 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: indeed do an episode on Monday Night Football which has 575 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: to do with media, and we had two tremendous sports 576 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: media members join us then, Ron Jawarski and the fabulous 577 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: Melissa Stark. So definitely check that one out if you 578 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: haven't already. How about this one The first professional football 579 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: player who was ever on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which, 580 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: of course, when I was growing up, was the mecca 581 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: sports journalism in my mind, that was Hall of Fame 582 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: quarterback why a tittle back In nineteen fifty four November 583 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: twenty second nineteen fifty four. He was part of the 584 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: forty nine ers million dollar backfield and why A. Tittle 585 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: was a seven time pro bowler, three time for Team 586 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: All Pro, and he was the NFL MVP back in 587 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three. I love it. And you know, we 588 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: made reference to Madden a little bit earlier, and I 589 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: automatically think about the cover of Madden and how much 590 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: of a cool accomplishment actie that is for players. The 591 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: first NFL player on a Madden cover. Shocked by this 592 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: in some ways just begins you think about some of 593 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: the players that have been on it, and this is, 594 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: I guess, clearly a shot, and I don't mean to 595 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: make it a shot. I was just surprised by it. 596 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: San Francisco running back Garrison Hurst on Madden ninety nine, 597 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: two time pro bowler, almost eight thousand career rushing yards. 598 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: First NFL player on a Madden cover. Not bad. You 599 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: know what's one that we may have to do? The 600 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: Madden curse all that's just an urban legend. Yeah, and 601 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: we should get some of our the Madden cover men 602 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: to come and join us. Does ninety nine feel weird 603 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: to you? By the way, On Madden, Like I graduated 604 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: high school in ninety nine. I can't be that long ago. 605 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: And now I'm like, oh, man, as we're doing this 606 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: over video, and I haven't shaved in a few days, 607 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: and I see some white and some salt on the side, 608 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: like I guess, yeah, I guess Madden ninety nine. I'm 609 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: getting old. To speak for yourself, my friend, speak for yourself. 610 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: Super Bowl one, the very first super Bowl, one thousand 611 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: media credentials were issued, and in fact, NFL Commissioner Pete 612 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: Roselle was so worried about the Super Bowl getting enough 613 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,479 Speaker 1: attention that he gave his PR staff two hundred and 614 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars to spend on the media, just to 615 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: make sure that there'd be some hubbub and excitement and 616 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: talking about Super Bowl one. Now, fast forward to the 617 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: last Super Bowl in Miami, and this number is actually 618 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: a little bit depressed because of the pandemic. But six 619 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: thousand media credentials were issued for that Super Bowl. I 620 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: will say that again, there have been more. That's not 621 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: an all time high. We're just going from first to 622 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: the latest. It's still a lot of media members watching 623 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: the games. Okay, this is my favorite one right here, 624 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: our producer, Vince. Hey, Vince, We love Evince. Vince wanted 625 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 1: to know who is the first quarterback to put all 626 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: the plays on their arm? You know how they wear 627 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: those wristbands, mic and they and they write plays on them. Yeah, 628 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: And I've been meaning to ask some of the older 629 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: quarterbacks if the font gets larger the older they catch 630 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: on those wristbands. But I haven't gotten up the courage 631 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: yet to go up to Ben Roethlisberger and say, hey, 632 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: do you need bigger print than you did when you 633 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: were twenty three? In any case, it was back in 634 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five when Baltimore Colts quarterback Johnny Unitis and 635 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: his backup Gary Kuozo both suffered season ending injuries, and 636 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: so it was the third string quarterback Tom Matt, who 637 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,919 Speaker 1: had been a running back he was forced to play quarterback. 638 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: And it was offensive coordinator Don McCafferty who thought, hey, 639 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: why don't we do a wristband. And it was actually 640 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: Matt's wife, whose handwriting was small enough and neat enough 641 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 1: that she helped him write and create this wristband while 642 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 1: he started three games, and one of those games was 643 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: was a playoff game in fact, and that original wristband 644 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 1: that Tom Matt's wife wrote sits in the Pro Football 645 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame right now, so cool. Never would have 646 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: thought about that. Of course Vince did think of that question, 647 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: So well done by him, Dent, who helped think of 648 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: the solution A woman, of course. Yeah, come on, now, well, 649 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: I just think back to the episode when we had 650 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner pop on with us on other player's work week. 651 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: If he missed that one, make sure you go and 652 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: check that one out. But the pillow talk between Kurt 653 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: and Brenda, his wife to get him ready for games, 654 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: and this makes sense. And add I think there's one 655 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: thing that's abundantly clear. If I was talented enough to 656 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: be an NFL quarterback and I needed a wristband, I 657 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: would not be the one writing any place because my 658 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 1: penmanship is absolutely awful.
