But no, I don't have that written down. 83 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: It's a great, great thing for our fans to look 84 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: up and check out. 85 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: This out let us know in the comments. 86 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: So Rankin Smith, who who bought Falcons, paid eight point 87 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: five million dollars for the Falcons in nineteen sixty five. 88 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 2: Okay, how much is that in like today terms? 89 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: Very glad you asked eighty two million dollars, which is, 90 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: on the one hand, a ton of money that I'm 91 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: never going to see in my lifetime. So like that's 92 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: but also on the cheap side. But it's eighty two 93 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: much of NFL franchise of. 94 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: NFL franchise in today's money. Like I was thinking you 95 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: were going to stay closer to like it would be like. 96 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty eighty two million dollars. 97 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: It actually seemed less than what I thought the conversion 98 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: would be, like what. 99 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,119 Speaker 1: Even a low number would be, because you would expect 100 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: all right eight point five with inflation, sure, and just 101 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: the valuation of the NFL waivery than it was, like 102 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: it's going to be on the low side, but like 103 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: I didn't expect under one hundred million. 104 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: No, No, what a steal? 105 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, what all this talk about inflation, I'm not so sure. 106 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I don't believe in inflation. No, 107 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: just kidding, I absolutely do. Yes, just for a reference point, 108 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: Washington sold recently for six point zero five billion. 109 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 2: That was why I w when anything to your point, 110 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 2: anything under one hundred million, I was like pocket change. 111 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: Crazy, right, go back a million team in the early sixties. 112 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: It seems like a great investment. I tried to look up, 113 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: like what what could you buy with eighty two million dollars? 114 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: Google's AI told me, like super yachts and you can 115 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: invest in charity is the other thing that it told me. Basically, 116 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: those those are. 117 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: Those are the only two options. 118 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: You can do nothing else of the like, are we 119 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: totally separate podcasts? We'll get like we got to use 120 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: AI better.

I think honestly, 125 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: chat GPT is probably a little bit like lazy about it. 126 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: Put it in the bank, you can invest it, right, Yeah, 127 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: you do that with dollars. 128 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: Man.

If anyone's watching and just 173 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: saw my face, it's because producer Jared just sent a. 174 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: Picture, the most metal picture I've ever seen. 175 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: It's a man on a horse stabbing someone, which I 176 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: assume is the lancer with. 177 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: All right, so when if anybody is familiar with jousting, 178 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: that's basically a lance. Okay, oh my god, Yeah, that's 179 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: of course that's a lancer, right, Yeah, it's a lance. 180 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: Nice tale a Lancelot. 181 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: That's okay, I'm out on lancing. 182 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: That seems I'm out on me after that. Honestly, did 183 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: I how did you not know what a lancer was? Will? 184 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's pretty fair to not know 185 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: what a lancer was? 186 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: Fair, but like a lance anyway, fire Birds, fire balls, 187 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: and Thunderbirds were the final three. Oh, firebirds are thunderbirds, 188 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: which is cooler. 189 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: Thunderbirds, but I feel like the thunder it's because of 190 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: the Thunderbirds brand of the plane that I consider that 191 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 2: to be the cooler of the two. Fireballs is a little. 192 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: Bit on the not great side. Fireballs fireballs, fire balls 193 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: like great balls of fire for every. 194 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: Every touchdown, every single one. Honestly great brand. But no, 195 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: I think I personally like think the thunder but if 196 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: like the thunderbirds. Telling of the thunderbird's been around like 197 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 2: as a naming for the plane. 198 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: A long time. Was also a car. 199 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 2: Oh yeah that's right. 200 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: It was so like, Yeah, Thunderbirds is not the most 201 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: but it's still really cool. I don't know how in 202 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: use it is right now, that's how to like plants 203 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: and stuff, right, But there's firebirds. 204 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: Right. I'm kind of glad that it's interesting that those 205 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 2: were all of the options and then they landed on 206 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 2: the falcons, because there are a few that I would 207 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: have been like, oh, that's really cool, Like I really 208 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 2: liked I like firebirds. I think firebirds is pretty cool. 209 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: I think bombers is kind of sick. 210 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: Bombers is interesting considering the history of it, and there 211 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 2: that there was a the Bell bom bomber plant in 212 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 2: World War Two. I think that's interesting. What was the 213 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 2: other one before we. 214 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: Got to Lancers? Uh, Thrashers? 215 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: What was the one before that? 216 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: No? Not no nights? 217 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 2: Nights? Oh that was what I was gonna say. So apparently, 218 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 2: do you remember going to Thrashers games? 219 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: Okay, had many birthday parties there. 220 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: Okay, what's the lore? Wasn't there like some type of lore? 221 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: I remember being like super young, and they would while 222 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: you're singing the national anthem at Thrashers games, like, uh, 223 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: whenever you said night, everyone would yell nights. 224 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: I do Was there a minor league hockey? I know 225 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: they've got the Gwinnett Gladiators. Was there in Atlanta? Maybe 226 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: there was a hockey team? Maybe there was. Again, we're 227 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: showing our age here, so if you guys like DM 228 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: like we I want I actually. 229 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: Genuinely want to know why why we did that? Because 230 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,599 Speaker 2: I was like eight or nine going to games and 231 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: watching Thrashers, and so when they when you said Knights 232 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: like off the top, I was like, oh, maybe it 233 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 2: was like the interconnecting of like what the Falcons could 234 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: have been. But yep, I don't know that's interesting. Those 235 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 2: are hilarious names. 236 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, we should look up. We'll look up Nights 237 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: Off Air and it's anything interesting, we'll share it in 238 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: the future episode. But but yeah, go look it up. 239 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: The first team head coach in Team Mystery was Nord Pecker, 240 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: but they really tried to make a push for Vince 241 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: lam Party, so Nord Pecker was an assistant on that staff. 242 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: Apparently though they had a handshake agreement with Vince Lombardi 243 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: really to come and coach Falcons, and he backed down 244 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: did because he's a coward. 245 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 2: He didn't want to smoke. 246 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: He couldn't handle the Firebirds. 247 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: He couldn't handle the fire Birds, so there was a handshake. 248 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 2: How old do we think? How like, how was Vince Lombardy? 249 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: Was he retired at the time? Would he be? 250 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: No, I don't think he had won. I don't think 251 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: they championships yet. I don't think he was. He was 252 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: right on the precipice of the kay. 253 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: Wow, so he could have been a man. I wonder 254 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: if like he wasn't if he did like follow through 255 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 2: and he was like the first coach of the Atlanta Falcons. 256 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: What the trophy would be named after? 257 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: Now? Oh wow, that's actually a great question. Okay, Yeah, 258 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: I was like, where are we going with this? Because 259 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're immediately just gonna have the 260 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: success in the Packers. 261 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 2: No, because I don't think they. I don't think they would. 262 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: Have to be the Bill Walsh Trophy. Would it be? 263 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: Maybe like who's a Don Shula? Like yeah, like early. 264 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: On, right, the best coaches of US a specific era, 265 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 2: like that specific era? Who would have won had vincellis 266 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 2: like had Vince Lombardi not been Vince Lombardi? Right? 267 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: Yeah? Or would have been named after a player maybe 268 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: if maybe was part of it? That's a that's a 269 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: fascinating what if we could pencil in like an NFL 270 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: what if? But if just a great episode? Yeah, just 271 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: like the all time kind of like zags or sliding doors, 272 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: that would be fine. I like that. They also considered 273 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: a man named Red Hickey. That name stood out and 274 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: I loved it. Man, the sixties were. 275 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: What a name? If I was going to be named 276 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: after a color, I think I would want. 277 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: To be red red yeah, or magenta. 278 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: Magenta, that's a good one. 279 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: You know, blues clues. Yeah, the best dog. So when 280 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: they were courting their first ever draft pick, mister Falcon 281 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: Tommy Nobus, he was trying to decide between the Falcons 282 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: and the Oilers, both of whom selected him with the 283 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: number one overall pick. I believe just like a week apart, No, 284 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: just ten minutes apart. Ten minutes, sorry, ten minutes. Oh 285 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: my gosh, about being on the clock. So this is 286 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: also how crazy the sixties were, Like, we just don't 287 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: make him like this anymore. 288 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: Well, the fact that you could have two teams vying 289 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: for one player. 290 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: With the same time with one real tugle war. Yeah, 291 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: he's like he's a guy's on find of me? 292 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: Like why why was that? Like why did they have 293 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: like why were they head to. 294 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: Head on the pape and the two the teams aren't collaborate, 295 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: like the teams are competing or the leagues the least competing, 296 00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 1: so like they don't care. 297 00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: That's sure. 298 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: It was a wholes just taken. Yeah, we're just taking it. 299 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: And then they were different leagues saying, hey, come to us. No, hey, 300 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: come to us. This is living a PGA. You know, 301 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: they're they're fighting over players. 302 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 2: So I completely forgot about, Like that's the structure of 303 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: how things. 304 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: Were at that time. Yeah. As somebody who weighed in 305 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: on the decision for Tommy Nobis was Gemini seven astronaut 306 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: Frank Borman, who from space decided He's like, hey, I 307 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: got like maybe one phone call from outer space to Earth. 308 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: He said, tell nobus to sign with Houston. That's you 309 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: know whoa that's what he did. That is the crucial 310 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: information we got to send from space to Earth. 311 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: Talk about like the universe sending you a sign like that's. 312 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: Legit, and then you just send it right on back 313 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: and then you say. 314 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: You know what, Universe, Yeah, suck it. 315 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm different from space. I'm going to Atlanta. 316 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: I'm doing something different. That's so interesting. But I imagine, 317 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: like you don't get a phone call from space, like 318 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: I imagine it's more of like a telegram. 319 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: I think they write something on the Moon. 320 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: Ooh yeah, like. 321 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: Space letters and it's just like no this God show 322 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: you check mark emoji. 323 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: Houston, We do not have a problem if you come here. 324 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: See you in Texas with the ies emoji. Yeah on 325 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: the moon. But they start. So the Falcons started playing 326 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL NFL East Division, and they have been 327 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: part of the most wild divisions, I think, just the 328 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: makeups of them. In the NFL East Division in nineteen 329 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: sixty six, the Atlanta Falcons, the Cleveland Browns, the Dallas Cowboys, 330 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles. So we got and 331 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: in Washington, so we got the NFC East in there, 332 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Seelers, Saint Louis Cardinals. That's kind of like the 333 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: weirdest hodgepodge of just like the East Coast. And then 334 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: we got the Saint Louis Cardinals in there. Yeah. But 335 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: later on in nineteen sixty seven they would play in 336 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: something called the Coastal Division. They had they were doing 337 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: a real legends and leaders thing in nineteen sixty seven 338 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL.

So Van Brocklin 483 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: calls in FLHQ and says, Atlanta picks John Wayne a 484 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: Fort Apache State. And then Pete Roselle the GM just 485 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: allowed to pick. He said, no, you can't say John Wayne. 486 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 2: So he wasn't joking, he was literally real. 487 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: He called card and said John Wayne is our pick. 488 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: And they said, actually we take that back.

He was six 502 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: foot four so usually okay, maybe fella. Maybe he was 503 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: born in nineteen o seven, so he would have been 504 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: sixty five years old at the time. In nineteen seventy two, 505 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: they drafted a sixty five year old actor with the 506 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: seventeenth round pick. 507 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do, 508 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: and they felt they were convicted. To use Terry Fontneau's term, 509 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 2: they felt conviction about John Wayne, and they're like, you 510 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 2: know what, get him here. We don't care what happens. 511 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 2: Get him here. And then the GM was like, actually, guys, 512 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 2: let's go a different route. 513 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: Yep, they don't call him the Dutchman the Dutchman and 514 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: the duke. That would have been a nice little pairing there. 515 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, I love the Cojones on that decision. 516 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 2: Great job, mister Dutchman. 517 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: So the nineteen seventy three season is one of the 518 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: craziest I think I've seen, just in terms of how 519 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: it all played out. They opened the seventy three season 520 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: with a sixty two to seven win against the New 521 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. 522 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 2: Hey there you go. 523 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was seven zero zero after the first quarter. 524 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: They scored twenty four points in the second quarter twenty one, 525 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: and the third seventeen and the fourth blew them out. 526 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: Falcons had five hundred yards of offense near about four ninety six. 527 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: Dick Shiner, quarterback for the Falcons, perfect passer rating one 528 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight point three, the first ever recorded 529 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: perfect passer rating in the history of that stat. 530 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 2: In nineteen seventy three. 531 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: Nineteen seventy three, the season opener between the Falcons and 532 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: the Saints, the first perfect passer rating in NFL history. 533 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 2: And I wonder, like, do you get a plaque for that? 534 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 2: You know, like later later on in live it's like, 535 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: you know what I created, the stata a perfect stat 536 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 2: You're welcome. Thanks guys, I'll be here all week. 537 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: It was. It was it was a site to behold, 538 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: and congratulations to him. But then there was another end 539 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: of the spectrum in terms of quarterback play. Later that season, 540 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: Falcons played Saint Louis and it was the only time 541 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,120 Speaker 1: in NFL history that both starting quarterbacks had a passerrating 542 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: of zero. No in that game. How you can zero passerrating? 543 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 2: Like this literally the worst and the best in the 544 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 2: same season. 545 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: That one was Bobb Lee. So it's a different quarterback 546 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: for Atlanta, but same team. Also, what's more interesting though, 547 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: is that the Falcons lost the game thirty two to ten. 548 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: How a team puts up thirty two points with the 549 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: quarterback having a zero passer rating is beyond me. 550 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 2: That's what's so, That's what I can't like really comprehend. 551 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: It's like, only incomplete passes will leave you with like 552 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: a thirty two right passer rating. So you he threw 553 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: I think five interceptions in that game. 554 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 2: They had to have scored on at least three or 555 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 2: four of those. 556 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: You would think, yeah, a couple of pick sixes like 557 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: had to have But again, like that just the roller 558 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: coaster of it, and I've got it here. So after 559 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: opening the season sixty two to seven win, they then 560 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: lose the next game thirty one to zero, score sixty 561 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: two points, one week zero points. The next lose thirty 562 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: one to six, the next week thirteen to nine, the 563 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: next so sixty two to seven. They'd lose three straight 564 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: and they score a combined fifteen points in those three games. 565 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 2: Crazy, right, that is so I can't even like really 566 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 2: even fathom that. 567 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: It gets better. Oh god, they then win the next 568 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: seven games. In the next two games, after losing those 569 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: and putting up only fifteen points, they put up eighty 570 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: seven combined points. Then they go seventeen points, fifteen points, 571 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: forty four points, twenty points, twenty eight points. They are 572 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: eight and three at that point, everybody's like, what the heck. 573 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: Then they lose seventeen to six. Then they lose thirty 574 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: two to ten. 575 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 2: It's just like so over the like how they were. 576 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: It wasn't even like they were having any like uh 577 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 2: middling of the road. It was either're all or nothing. 578 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: It was yes, it was crazy. It was home runs 579 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: or strikeouts. Yeah, Like that's all that season was. I 580 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: kind of just want to go back and rewatch that 581 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: season on NFL films, I gotta go find it. 582 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: What a weird what a weird season, And. 583 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: So I'm spending with summer now. 584 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: Also, I would just be like every day you'd wake 585 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 2: up and be like, I don't really know what you're 586 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 2: gonna get from them today, but it'll be interesting regardless. 587 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: All Right. So I want to end you with this 588 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: one because I've discovered I think my new favorite, not 589 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: just Falcon, but maybe kicker of all time. Okay, player, 590 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: I had no idea frankly existed beforehand. Maybe he's kin 591 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: of mine. I don't know. His name is Brian McFadden. 592 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: Oh and he was a kicker for the Falcons at 593 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: least during the nineteen eighty eight season. That was his 594 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: final year as a kicker for the Falcons. Because in 595 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: a game against the Buffalo Bills, and this is you know, 596 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in their heyday, the four falls, Buffalo 597 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: making four straight Super Bowls, one of the best teams 598 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: in the league. He helps them win by converting not 599 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: just one, but two fifty plus yard field goals, which 600 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: at the time, you know, again we're talking nineteen eighty 601 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: eight here, they're not bombing sixty yards all over the 602 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: place he helps them win walk off field goal over 603 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: fifty yards. But here's the thing, and I'm going to 604 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: slack you this picture right now, got you can see 605 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: in real time? All right? Tell me what you see 606 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: on mister McFadden's right foot. 607 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: Is that a boot? Or is he without any shoe? 608 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 2: Does he have no shoe on? 609 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: He has sons shoe. He was a barefoot kicker. He 610 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: kicked the ball barefoot over fifty yards twice to beat 611 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in the same game that, my friends, 612 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: is the craziest thing I have ever learned about the 613 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. He carries my last name. I'm so excited. 614 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: I need his jersey six.

That has to hurt. 631 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: It's gotta hurt. 632 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 2: It's in the cold. In the cold, I can't handle 633 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 2: anyone even like poking my arm if it's under fifty degrees. 634 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 2: I'm a Southern girl through and through, Like i can't 635 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: handle the cold. 636 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: Yea. 637 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 2: The imagining like even if he like hits it wrong, 638 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 2: like you're hitting bone, you may hit a toe, talk 639 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 2: about like how painful that is. You can't eat? Like no, 640 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: I'm I'm hard out on this. I hate feet. I 641 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 2: hate looking at feet. I think they're kind of gross. 642 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 2: So I'm imagine how gross his foot was. 643 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it's like cauliflower ear, but like. 644 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 2: Like the bottom of his foot, I bet was disgusting, 645 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 2: and like, I bet it's dunk. Actually no, maybe it 646 00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: didn't because. 647 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: It was just on in the breezed. Yeah, it was 648 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: just easy, breezy, free breeze, it's swinging. 649 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all good, easy breezy, beautiful cover girl like 650 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 3: he uncovered toe uncovered, Doe Gross Gross would say, ye, 651 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 3: but hey. 652 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 2: You know, kudos sim He had a system and I 653 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 2: guess the system worked for him. 654 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,959 Speaker 1: The last bit about this because we're somehow not done. 655 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: So there's that. That fifty yard kick the game winner 656 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: was also his last kick ever because, as we mentioned, 657 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: break his tow. I don't know if he broke his toe, 658 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: but he did get injured before the next game, which 659 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: they didn't know about before the game because he got 660 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: hurt in warm ups and teams didn't have really backup kickers. 661 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: They weren't carrying two kickers on the roster. The punter 662 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: at the time had no kicking experience. So in a 663 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: absolute blowout loss forty five to three. The only points 664 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: scored in that game because again they don't have their kicker, right, 665 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: they scored three points. Yeah, Starting quarterback Chris Miller lines 666 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: up and kicks the worst field goal kick you're ever 667 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: going to see in your life, and it hooks in 668 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: twenty five yard and it's good. So Chris Miller made 669 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: a field goal the next game after Brian McFadden just 670 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: gave it all to glory. 671 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 2: So did he did he also take a new barefoot? 672 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: Did he do a barefoot?
