We've been talking about his life and 8 00:00:30,988 --> 00:00:33,468 Speaker 1: legacy and the impact on the game and the people 9 00:00:33,548 --> 00:00:36,108 Speaker 1: that were in his life all morning. He was a 10 00:00:36,148 --> 00:00:39,588 Speaker 1: profound human being that touched a lot of people, and 11 00:00:39,668 --> 00:00:42,028 Speaker 1: we have been reflecting not only on just that game, 12 00:00:42,068 --> 00:00:44,788 Speaker 1: which we are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of this weekend, 13 00:00:44,948 --> 00:00:47,188 Speaker 1: but also Kyle to speak to him as a person 14 00:00:47,268 --> 00:00:49,988 Speaker 1: and a player, and specifically someone who looked up the 15 00:00:50,108 --> 00:00:52,988 Speaker 1: running back so much as a human. What did you 16 00:00:53,028 --> 00:00:56,828 Speaker 1: think of when you think of Franco Harris, Well, Jari news, 17 00:00:56,868 --> 00:00:59,628 Speaker 1: eerie news, almost chilling with the timing of the anniversary 18 00:00:59,708 --> 00:01:01,988 Speaker 1: this weekend. But to answer your question, running back to 19 00:01:02,028 --> 00:01:04,068 Speaker 1: my favorite position, and I never saw Franco Harris played 20 00:01:04,068 --> 00:01:06,108 Speaker 1: down and yet I still knew about him because of 21 00:01:06,148 --> 00:01:08,868 Speaker 1: the power of NFL films and all of the great 22 00:01:08,868 --> 00:01:10,708 Speaker 1: things that I watched growing up, and I just looked 23 00:01:10,708 --> 00:01:12,868 Speaker 1: at him as toughness. He was like this big pile 24 00:01:12,908 --> 00:01:15,348 Speaker 1: of shoulder pads and beards and hair and Pittsburgh and 25 00:01:15,668 --> 00:01:18,268 Speaker 1: the turf, and it's just an amazing, amazing thing to 26 00:01:18,308 --> 00:01:21,108 Speaker 1: watch as a little kid. Even watching replays, I'm jarred 27 00:01:21,108 --> 00:01:23,228 Speaker 1: by how emotional I feel about Franco Harris. I've you 28 00:01:23,268 --> 00:01:25,268 Speaker 1: never seen him play, because I've been watching Franco Harris 29 00:01:25,268 --> 00:01:28,548 Speaker 1: my whole life. Michael Harris was part of my football childhood. Likes, 30 00:01:28,948 --> 00:01:31,668 Speaker 1: that's one of your heroes, that's one of the superheroes 31 00:01:31,708 --> 00:01:34,388 Speaker 1: really of what we do. So to see that this morning, 32 00:01:34,468 --> 00:01:36,388 Speaker 1: right before we come on the air, maybe fifteen twenty 33 00:01:36,428 --> 00:01:38,508 Speaker 1: minutes before we started the show today was very jarring 34 00:01:38,588 --> 00:01:40,228 Speaker 1: and very sad, and we lost a great one. I 35 00:01:40,268 --> 00:01:42,468 Speaker 1: think you know. This weekend is going to be a 36 00:01:42,468 --> 00:01:46,108 Speaker 1: celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Immaculate Recepsition, but 37 00:01:46,148 --> 00:01:49,428 Speaker 1: now becomes celebration of Franco Harris's life. Even before his passing, 38 00:01:49,428 --> 00:01:51,428 Speaker 1: it was announced that the Steelers were going to retire 39 00:01:51,468 --> 00:01:53,988 Speaker 1: and raise that number thirty two jersey to the rafters 40 00:01:53,988 --> 00:01:56,548 Speaker 1: and won't be worn again. I think that's very, very 41 00:01:56,628 --> 00:01:59,748 Speaker 1: telling to the player he was, but also the human 42 00:01:59,788 --> 00:02:00,948 Speaker 1: he was. He was a Man of the Year in 43 00:02:00,988 --> 00:02:03,148 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy six. It's since been renamed the Walter Payton 44 00:02:03,148 --> 00:02:05,348 Speaker 1: Man in the Year. But if all players in the league, 45 00:02:05,428 --> 00:02:07,868 Speaker 1: he was that guy. He was an ambassador for the sport. 46 00:02:07,948 --> 00:02:10,148 Speaker 1: And I said this earlier in the show. Class is 47 00:02:10,188 --> 00:02:13,028 Speaker 1: a word, gentleman. You'd come on the show. This man 48 00:02:13,188 --> 00:02:15,228 Speaker 1: was a gentleman. He was almost from a bygone era 49 00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:18,268 Speaker 1: with how classy he was. And I am. I'm actually 50 00:02:18,428 --> 00:02:20,428 Speaker 1: excited and enthused to celebrate his life over the next 51 00:02:20,428 --> 00:02:22,788 Speaker 1: seventy two hours, culminating in the Great Football. Yeah, and quickly, 52 00:02:22,828 --> 00:02:25,308 Speaker 1: I'll say to what Kyle said, I remember that played 53 00:02:25,308 --> 00:02:27,748 Speaker 1: the immaculate reception of seeing and saying wild I was 54 00:02:27,828 --> 00:02:30,148 Speaker 1: Frank o' harrison. You go and you do some research 55 00:02:30,188 --> 00:02:32,188 Speaker 1: and you look into him for a person at my age, 56 00:02:32,188 --> 00:02:34,028 Speaker 1: and it's just like, my goodness, he was one hell 57 00:02:34,068 --> 00:02:37,148 Speaker 1: of a player. It wasn't just one played. I immortalized 58 00:02:37,228 --> 00:02:39,988 Speaker 1: him in NFL history, but it was his careers, twelve 59 00:02:40,028 --> 00:02:43,628 Speaker 1: thousand plus rushing yards, his ability to run over, through 60 00:02:43,668 --> 00:02:46,228 Speaker 1: and around people. He was such a good player and 61 00:02:46,308 --> 00:02:48,548 Speaker 1: to what you said, Peter a better human being. And 62 00:02:48,748 --> 00:02:50,588 Speaker 1: I think that's when you talk about legacy and what 63 00:02:50,668 --> 00:02:53,388 Speaker 1: someone means to everybody around him that goes along. Yeah, 64 00:02:53,428 --> 00:02:55,788 Speaker 1: his impact on off the field had reached and so 65 00:02:55,988 --> 00:02:58,188 Speaker 1: our friends at NFL Films, they're going to give us 66 00:02:58,188 --> 00:02:59,868 Speaker 1: a look back, give you a look back at the 67 00:02:59,908 --> 00:03:04,708 Speaker 1: amazing legacy of one franklins As one of the eatest 68 00:03:04,788 --> 00:03:08,308 Speaker 1: running backs in NFL history. Franco Harris began his pro 69 00:03:08,388 --> 00:03:11,668 Speaker 1: football career as the Pittsburgh Steelers number one pick in 70 00:03:11,708 --> 00:03:15,748 Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy two NFL Draft. A mainstay in the 71 00:03:15,788 --> 00:03:20,708 Speaker 1: Steelers backfield, Franco led Pittsburgh to eight division championships, four 72 00:03:20,748 --> 00:03:35,228 Speaker 1: conference titles, and four Super Bowl victories. The six two, 73 00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:38,348 Speaker 1: two hundred thirty pound haul of Fame back was a versatile, 74 00:03:38,388 --> 00:03:41,268 Speaker 1: big yardage runner and a key component in the powerful 75 00:03:41,308 --> 00:03:45,428 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh offensive machine that mow Down and Moe Line would 76 00:03:45,428 --> 00:03:49,388 Speaker 1: be defenders at will. Harris came along at a time 77 00:03:49,428 --> 00:03:53,268 Speaker 1: when big backs and ball control were in at Establishing 78 00:03:53,268 --> 00:03:59,748 Speaker 1: a ground game was standard procedure poor success. Harris had 79 00:03:59,828 --> 00:04:04,468 Speaker 1: all the tangibles of lore, a complete back replete with 80 00:04:04,628 --> 00:04:08,788 Speaker 1: vision and short area burst, cementing himself as a superstar 81 00:04:09,068 --> 00:04:12,148 Speaker 1: after rushing for more than one thousand yards in eight seasons, 82 00:04:12,548 --> 00:04:19,668 Speaker 1: a record formerly held by the legendary Jim Brown. At 83 00:04:19,708 --> 00:04:23,388 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, Frankel made a lucidness look elegant. 84 00:04:25,188 --> 00:04:28,188 Speaker 1: In his thirteen seasons, Harris rushed for twelve thousand, one 85 00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:32,308 Speaker 1: hundred twenty yards and ninety one touchdowns. His career rushing 86 00:04:32,308 --> 00:04:35,388 Speaker 1: total ranked as the third highest mark in pro football 87 00:04:35,468 --> 00:04:44,228 Speaker 1: history at the time of his retirement. However, Harris's most 88 00:04:44,268 --> 00:04:46,868 Speaker 1: memorable moment came when he was on the receiving end 89 00:04:47,108 --> 00:04:49,988 Speaker 1: of one of the most famous passes in NFL history, 90 00:04:50,668 --> 00:05:24,748 Speaker 1: the Immaculate Reception, Don't have the golf play. The iconic 91 00:05:24,828 --> 00:05:27,508 Speaker 1: play gave the Steelers their first ever playing off win 92 00:05:28,028 --> 00:05:31,908 Speaker 1: and acted as the big bang catalyst that transformed Pittsburgh 93 00:05:32,228 --> 00:05:36,028 Speaker 1: into an NFL diner student from the time Bradshaw through 94 00:05:36,028 --> 00:05:40,708 Speaker 1: the ball and everything is just just a blur before 95 00:05:40,748 --> 00:05:45,228 Speaker 1: I knew it, come up and running, Franco really showed 96 00:05:45,308 --> 00:05:49,268 Speaker 1: us that we could win, because before Franco did not 97 00:05:49,388 --> 00:06:04,948 Speaker 1: Winion and gloping off to the Sun. From that forward, 98 00:06:05,268 --> 00:06:07,948 Speaker 1: Harris always seemed to be at his best when the 99 00:06:08,028 --> 00:06:11,908 Speaker 1: stakes were highest. Franco Harris has become an a merged 100 00:06:11,948 --> 00:06:14,788 Speaker 1: player in Super Bowl? Is three to score three touchdown? 101 00:06:14,908 --> 00:06:18,228 Speaker 1: Didn't three? Super Bowl? So he now had scored seventeen 102 00:06:18,268 --> 00:06:21,068 Speaker 1: touchdowns to post seas of play. But dass to his 103 00:06:21,148 --> 00:06:26,188 Speaker 1: own NFL record. When someone tells me that regular season 104 00:06:26,228 --> 00:06:30,228 Speaker 1: game is the same as a championship game, not to me, 105 00:06:30,308 --> 00:06:33,828 Speaker 1: it isn't big game. There was no one better than Franco, 106 00:06:34,548 --> 00:06:38,788 Speaker 1: no one. Harris's exploits made him a folk legend, so 107 00:06:38,908 --> 00:06:43,228 Speaker 1: much so that he inspired the unforgettable fan club, Franco's 108 00:06:43,348 --> 00:06:46,188 Speaker 1: Italian Army. You want to see the killer for Cleveland today? 109 00:06:46,468 --> 00:06:58,388 Speaker 1: Right here, big red peppery is the army here well 110 00:06:58,468 --> 00:07:07,748 Speaker 1: that breaks back great memories. Franco was such a beloved 111 00:07:07,828 --> 00:07:10,788 Speaker 1: figure that a permanent statue of him was erected next 112 00:07:10,788 --> 00:07:19,748 Speaker 1: to George Washington at the Pittsburgh National Airport. One of 113 00:07:19,748 --> 00:07:23,628 Speaker 1: the most popular Steelers of all time, Harris will forever 114 00:07:23,788 --> 00:07:27,788 Speaker 1: be missed in the Steel City.

Harris meant to you as a friend and teammate. 127 00:08:11,388 --> 00:08:14,588 Speaker 1: Take as much time as you want. He's He's someone 128 00:08:14,628 --> 00:08:16,748 Speaker 1: I didn't see a lot. I talked to him on 129 00:08:16,788 --> 00:08:19,908 Speaker 1: the phone maybe two or three times a year, saw 130 00:08:19,988 --> 00:08:22,708 Speaker 1: him at least once a year. Actually, if I can 131 00:08:22,788 --> 00:08:26,108 Speaker 1: show you this, this is our last time together. That's 132 00:08:26,108 --> 00:08:29,148 Speaker 1: the jersey he had made up. We were laughing about 133 00:08:29,188 --> 00:08:32,788 Speaker 1: the jersey. We we always laugh were always together and 134 00:08:32,908 --> 00:08:37,628 Speaker 1: we're always laughing. I always making fun of him. Stutterning 135 00:08:37,668 --> 00:08:40,468 Speaker 1: in the huddle and just h and the way he 136 00:08:40,508 --> 00:08:44,148 Speaker 1: played poker and all these silly games we played. He 137 00:08:44,188 --> 00:08:46,748 Speaker 1: would just you know, he was just a good man 138 00:08:46,908 --> 00:08:50,748 Speaker 1: and one all everything you've said about it. He just 139 00:08:50,828 --> 00:08:54,788 Speaker 1: came in from Penn State. He wasn't even the running 140 00:08:54,788 --> 00:08:57,628 Speaker 1: back that Chuck No wanted. Chuck No wanted to switch 141 00:08:57,668 --> 00:09:00,748 Speaker 1: the offense. Well, he wanted to build it around the 142 00:09:00,828 --> 00:09:03,388 Speaker 1: running And he had called me that offseason and told 143 00:09:03,428 --> 00:09:06,228 Speaker 1: we dropped in a running back. I thought it was 144 00:09:06,268 --> 00:09:08,788 Speaker 1: a guy out of Texas or Houston or somewhere. It 145 00:09:08,828 --> 00:09:11,308 Speaker 1: was a great running back that time. And the other 146 00:09:11,428 --> 00:09:14,268 Speaker 1: was Franco. And so we drafted Franco and we built 147 00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:16,828 Speaker 1: the offense we ran was the same offense that they 148 00:09:16,908 --> 00:09:21,548 Speaker 1: ran in Miami with a zonca and kick. And that 149 00:09:21,668 --> 00:09:24,548 Speaker 1: was one thing. But he was just seriously, just a 150 00:09:24,588 --> 00:09:29,868 Speaker 1: good guy. Just never was overtaken. His success never changed him. 151 00:09:30,068 --> 00:09:32,948 Speaker 1: And that's one of the beauties about him. I always 152 00:09:32,988 --> 00:09:35,428 Speaker 1: picked at him, telling me he had terrible hands as 153 00:09:35,508 --> 00:09:38,308 Speaker 1: no way he called the immactive reception he had to 154 00:09:38,348 --> 00:09:43,828 Speaker 1: have trapped. When I got sacked against Dallas in Super 155 00:09:43,868 --> 00:09:47,148 Speaker 1: Bowl thirteen, we got into the huddle and he said, Brad, 156 00:09:47,388 --> 00:09:49,948 Speaker 1: he called me Brad. Most folks called me TV. He 157 00:09:50,068 --> 00:09:53,188 Speaker 1: called me Brad. He said, Brad, give me the ball, 158 00:09:53,228 --> 00:09:56,148 Speaker 1: give me about He was so mad at the sack 159 00:09:56,268 --> 00:09:58,908 Speaker 1: and the way they acted over me. And I ran 160 00:09:59,028 --> 00:10:02,708 Speaker 1: ninety three tackle trapped thinking I had a blitz, which 161 00:10:02,788 --> 00:10:07,548 Speaker 1: was a perfect call because cowboys showed blitz. Franco wanted 162 00:10:07,588 --> 00:10:11,468 Speaker 1: the ball. This was perfect. And what happened was the 163 00:10:11,588 --> 00:10:15,988 Speaker 1: safeties Harrison and the Waters had given me a false read. 164 00:10:16,108 --> 00:10:21,268 Speaker 1: But I went on the quick count and they ran 165 00:10:21,348 --> 00:10:23,708 Speaker 1: into the umpire when he was on the other side 166 00:10:23,708 --> 00:10:26,188 Speaker 1: of the ball. You know, they ran into him, and 167 00:10:26,268 --> 00:10:30,628 Speaker 1: Franco went twenty two yards for the test. So I mean, 168 00:10:30,708 --> 00:10:34,868 Speaker 1: that's Franko. He was the ultimate team guy. Ultimate. You 169 00:10:34,868 --> 00:10:37,148 Speaker 1: don't see a lot of that anymore, you know, especially 170 00:10:37,148 --> 00:10:39,868 Speaker 1: with wide receivers. Maybe some running backs give me the ball. 171 00:10:39,868 --> 00:10:41,908 Speaker 1: I want the ball, and they go where they can 172 00:10:41,988 --> 00:10:43,628 Speaker 1: get the ball and they don't give it, you know, 173 00:10:43,828 --> 00:10:46,468 Speaker 1: not realizing that the offense and the players around him 174 00:10:46,468 --> 00:10:49,588 Speaker 1: are all we're all part of its winning program. And 175 00:10:49,708 --> 00:10:52,468 Speaker 1: he was jest said, well, you know him, you knew him. 176 00:10:52,508 --> 00:10:54,788 Speaker 1: He was just a great guy man. His wife Dane, 177 00:10:54,868 --> 00:10:59,268 Speaker 1: his Daca's son. You know, I known him forever, So 178 00:10:59,588 --> 00:11:02,548 Speaker 1: it's a sad day for sure. Terry. We're so sorry 179 00:11:02,588 --> 00:11:04,788 Speaker 1: and thank you so much for sharing those story. We 180 00:11:04,828 --> 00:11:06,828 Speaker 1: know how well you know him and how close you 181 00:11:06,868 --> 00:11:10,148 Speaker 1: two were. You were also a member of a group 182 00:11:10,188 --> 00:11:13,428 Speaker 1: of people that really treated Franco the way that he 183 00:11:13,468 --> 00:11:16,628 Speaker 1: needed to be as a beloved member of the Steelers organization, 184 00:11:16,708 --> 00:11:20,788 Speaker 1: and that was Franco's Italian Army. We have this picture 185 00:11:20,828 --> 00:11:22,988 Speaker 1: of you in this with the hat on. Can we 186 00:11:23,108 --> 00:11:27,108 Speaker 1: talk more about the relationship that Franco had with Pittsburgh 187 00:11:27,308 --> 00:11:30,948 Speaker 1: and their fans in the city. Look at that incredible motto. Yeah, 188 00:11:30,948 --> 00:11:34,228 Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. One thing great about the Italian Stallion 189 00:11:34,388 --> 00:11:38,828 Speaker 1: or his Italian Army was that we stayed over in 190 00:11:38,908 --> 00:11:43,468 Speaker 1: California at Palm Desert and practice before we played the 191 00:11:43,588 --> 00:11:48,988 Speaker 1: Raiders in the AFCA Championship game, and Frank Sinatra came 192 00:11:48,988 --> 00:11:53,108 Speaker 1: out to meet the team, to meet Franco, and it 193 00:11:53,148 --> 00:11:56,708 Speaker 1: was just so cool. Frank Sinatra, and he was, of course, 194 00:11:56,828 --> 00:11:59,508 Speaker 1: being an Italian, he wanted to he wanted to meet 195 00:11:59,548 --> 00:12:03,628 Speaker 1: the great Franco Harris. And so we thank Franco for 196 00:12:03,748 --> 00:12:06,588 Speaker 1: being so good and for being Italian. We got to 197 00:12:06,588 --> 00:12:10,868 Speaker 1: meet Frank Sinatra. I mean, come on, that's a good moment. 198 00:12:11,268 --> 00:12:15,108 Speaker 1: You know, that's a great moment. That's the reason for 199 00:12:15,148 --> 00:12:17,948 Speaker 1: a cigar, Terry. There really is incredible memory and we 200 00:12:18,028 --> 00:12:20,388 Speaker 1: love sharing this with you this morning. You know, Saturday, 201 00:12:20,428 --> 00:12:24,028 Speaker 1: we've got sure enough Steelers Raiders once again. It's here 202 00:12:24,068 --> 00:12:26,868 Speaker 1: on NFL Network in the anniversary. It's incredible, Terry. You've 203 00:12:26,908 --> 00:12:29,108 Speaker 1: talked about this play for fifty years. How is your 204 00:12:29,148 --> 00:12:32,268 Speaker 1: relationship changed with the immaculate reception over the years, and 205 00:12:32,308 --> 00:12:34,508 Speaker 1: does it feel a little bit different this morning? I 206 00:12:34,548 --> 00:12:37,588 Speaker 1: find it a little bit prothetic, a little in a 207 00:12:37,708 --> 00:12:41,388 Speaker 1: sense that this was to be the greatest moment probably 208 00:12:41,428 --> 00:12:45,388 Speaker 1: in Franco's retirement life, because I know, winning super Bowls 209 00:12:45,388 --> 00:12:48,628 Speaker 1: as a team, all of us say that everything we are, 210 00:12:48,748 --> 00:12:51,748 Speaker 1: everything we have, we got from winning super Bowls as 211 00:12:51,748 --> 00:12:55,388 Speaker 1: a team. That's I'm on television with all of you, 212 00:12:55,988 --> 00:12:59,348 Speaker 1: not because I was good at television at Louisiana Tech. 213 00:12:59,748 --> 00:13:02,428 Speaker 1: It was because I was a good football player and 214 00:13:02,548 --> 00:13:05,188 Speaker 1: we won super Bowls, so we get all these opportunities. 215 00:13:06,108 --> 00:13:10,308 Speaker 1: Now he's getting his jersey retired, which is unheard of 216 00:13:10,388 --> 00:13:15,028 Speaker 1: with Pittsburgh. There's only three jerseys retired I believe in Pittsburgh. 217 00:13:15,108 --> 00:13:18,788 Speaker 1: Joe Green has hiss rightly, so Franco has his. I 218 00:13:18,828 --> 00:13:21,828 Speaker 1: forgot too. The other one was, but that's okay. And 219 00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:24,548 Speaker 1: now they were going to celebrate the fifty years of 220 00:13:24,628 --> 00:13:27,268 Speaker 1: the Immaculate Reception, and Franco and I had just finished 221 00:13:27,268 --> 00:13:30,628 Speaker 1: shooting a commercial on that play right there, and I 222 00:13:30,748 --> 00:13:33,668 Speaker 1: talked them through it. And here's the pass. I avoid 223 00:13:33,748 --> 00:13:36,468 Speaker 1: the sack. I fired down the field. I see a 224 00:13:36,508 --> 00:13:38,988 Speaker 1: black jersey. I don't know who it is. I hit 225 00:13:39,028 --> 00:13:42,348 Speaker 1: the ground. I hear the crowd roar. I don't see 226 00:13:42,388 --> 00:13:45,908 Speaker 1: the play. I'm saying to myself, well, that's I'll touch down, 227 00:13:46,228 --> 00:13:49,308 Speaker 1: and then I'll start thinking about all the endorsements I'm 228 00:13:49,348 --> 00:13:52,508 Speaker 1: gonna get. I was making thirteen thousand dollars a year. 229 00:13:52,708 --> 00:13:56,388 Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna make a good twelve fifteen thousand this offseason, 230 00:13:56,628 --> 00:14:01,188 Speaker 1: which is unheard of, because man, I just through the path. 231 00:14:01,428 --> 00:14:03,948 Speaker 1: And then you get up, and then you stand up 232 00:14:04,508 --> 00:14:07,788 Speaker 1: and your people are mobbling you, and you're going, Okay, 233 00:14:07,828 --> 00:14:09,908 Speaker 1: who'd I hit? Who I though it too? Who called it? 234 00:14:09,948 --> 00:14:12,908 Speaker 1: How did you know? And then the story starts coming, well, 235 00:14:12,988 --> 00:14:15,628 Speaker 1: the ball with this way, and French you reached for 236 00:14:16,388 --> 00:14:18,948 Speaker 1: Jack Tatum and French. You had a collision. The ball 237 00:14:18,988 --> 00:14:23,268 Speaker 1: bounced back. Franco called the ball before it hit the ground, 238 00:14:23,268 --> 00:14:26,188 Speaker 1: which the rule was back then back to back the 239 00:14:26,228 --> 00:14:29,068 Speaker 1: ball can I be touched by back to back offensive players? 240 00:14:29,108 --> 00:14:31,908 Speaker 1: So Tatum had to have touched the ball last, had 241 00:14:31,948 --> 00:14:34,868 Speaker 1: Frenchie touch at last? It said completely, and then Franco 242 00:14:35,108 --> 00:14:37,868 Speaker 1: got it off the ground and Franco runs for the touchdown. 243 00:14:38,148 --> 00:14:45,508 Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there going really, really, that goes my commercials, 244 00:14:45,588 --> 00:14:49,548 Speaker 1: my endorsements, and it's just a fun it's a fun 245 00:14:49,828 --> 00:14:53,428 Speaker 1: story to tell. So I asked Franco two weeks ago. 246 00:14:53,868 --> 00:14:57,548 Speaker 1: I said, hey, bub fourth down, twenty two seconds left, 247 00:14:57,868 --> 00:15:02,228 Speaker 1: I'll go full right split sixty six circle option. The 248 00:15:02,308 --> 00:15:05,668 Speaker 1: circle is French a few qual who goes around the 249 00:15:05,788 --> 00:15:09,108 Speaker 1: left tackle and goes for the middle of the football field. 250 00:15:09,468 --> 00:15:12,068 Speaker 1: And what he does is either a linebacker runs with 251 00:15:12,148 --> 00:15:15,468 Speaker 1: him or the safety comes over. The option would be 252 00:15:15,588 --> 00:15:18,348 Speaker 1: to the split end. He that goes post. If the 253 00:15:18,388 --> 00:15:22,508 Speaker 1: safety comes up, safety goes inside, goes take off our corner. 254 00:15:22,668 --> 00:15:26,428 Speaker 1: So we had that sixty six man tight end stays 255 00:15:26,468 --> 00:15:30,268 Speaker 1: in and blocks, so I've got basically maximum protection because 256 00:15:30,788 --> 00:15:34,748 Speaker 1: Franco stays in and blocks. Now, I asked Franco, when 257 00:15:34,748 --> 00:15:37,668 Speaker 1: you see the end zone review of the play, he's 258 00:15:37,708 --> 00:15:46,908 Speaker 1: just standing there. You didn't block anybody brand my man. 259 00:15:47,748 --> 00:15:49,908 Speaker 1: My man went and went inside. Said yeah, your man's 260 00:15:50,028 --> 00:15:52,028 Speaker 1: one running me out of the pocket. And so this 261 00:15:52,188 --> 00:15:55,308 Speaker 1: goes on. We start laughing. But the minute I throw 262 00:15:55,388 --> 00:15:59,028 Speaker 1: the ball, Franco takes off. And I asked him, what 263 00:15:59,348 --> 00:16:02,468 Speaker 1: made you run down field? And he said. At Penn State, 264 00:16:02,588 --> 00:16:06,268 Speaker 1: Joe Paterno told the running backs that when the quarterback 265 00:16:06,468 --> 00:16:10,588 Speaker 1: releases the ball to run to the play, run to 266 00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:14,508 Speaker 1: the ball. And had he not been taught that by Paterno, 267 00:16:15,068 --> 00:16:18,348 Speaker 1: he would not have released and gone downfield. And that's 268 00:16:18,388 --> 00:16:21,308 Speaker 1: exactly what he did, and that's why he caught that pass. 269 00:16:21,388 --> 00:16:23,748 Speaker 1: So it's just a good story, and we add a 270 00:16:23,788 --> 00:16:26,628 Speaker 1: little to it as time goes on because it's because 271 00:16:26,668 --> 00:16:30,908 Speaker 1: it's better. But I had so much fun messing with 272 00:16:31,028 --> 00:16:33,948 Speaker 1: him about his blocking and his catching the ball when never, 273 00:16:34,108 --> 00:16:36,748 Speaker 1: well hardly every threw the ball to him. And it's 274 00:16:36,788 --> 00:16:39,868 Speaker 1: just a good story. I'm seventy four and I enjoy 275 00:16:39,948 --> 00:16:44,348 Speaker 1: these stories more than ever. But it's just getting the 276 00:16:44,428 --> 00:16:50,588 Speaker 1: jersey retired at halftime Saturday, versus the Las Vegas Raiders 277 00:16:50,588 --> 00:16:55,308 Speaker 1: now and then the Maclet reception celebration Friday. Mel Blunt. 278 00:16:55,788 --> 00:16:58,548 Speaker 1: I talked to Mike Wagner yesterday. We had a long talk. 279 00:16:58,988 --> 00:17:02,508 Speaker 1: Joe Green's there, Philipiano is there from the Raiders. A 280 00:17:02,508 --> 00:17:05,748 Speaker 1: good dude. There's a going to be a house full 281 00:17:05,788 --> 00:17:08,828 Speaker 1: of Steelers. What a great moment. You know. I'm working 282 00:17:08,868 --> 00:17:11,948 Speaker 1: for Fox and so I've got to fly to California, 283 00:17:11,988 --> 00:17:14,988 Speaker 1: but what a great moment for me. It's just been 284 00:17:15,028 --> 00:17:17,828 Speaker 1: amazing hearing you called out the plays and talking about 285 00:17:17,828 --> 00:17:20,508 Speaker 1: the option and taking the polls, taking the safety away. 286 00:17:20,668 --> 00:17:23,468 Speaker 1: I love it, Terry, so many people. We went around 287 00:17:23,508 --> 00:17:25,748 Speaker 1: a breakfast table this morning. We talked about how we 288 00:17:25,868 --> 00:17:28,868 Speaker 1: remember Franko and the immack of the reception and who 289 00:17:28,868 --> 00:17:31,348 Speaker 1: he was as a person. You were a close friend, 290 00:17:31,388 --> 00:17:33,188 Speaker 1: you were a teammate. How are you going to remember 291 00:17:33,268 --> 00:17:36,628 Speaker 1: frank O? Harris, I'm just gonna remember Franco for being 292 00:17:36,668 --> 00:17:40,668 Speaker 1: a great teammate. He was a great teammate. I was 293 00:17:40,828 --> 00:17:44,308 Speaker 1: not a captain of the football team ever. Franco I 294 00:17:44,308 --> 00:17:48,228 Speaker 1: don't believe was either. But he was a very vocal, 295 00:17:48,708 --> 00:17:54,348 Speaker 1: vocal guy on the sidelines, in the huddle, he's such 296 00:17:54,388 --> 00:17:57,508 Speaker 1: a good man. I can't get past that, always smiling, 297 00:17:57,988 --> 00:18:01,108 Speaker 1: always smiling.

Yeah, on the 319 00:19:14,508 --> 00:19:18,948 Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of the Immaculate Reception. It's almost eerie that 320 00:19:18,988 --> 00:19:20,948 Speaker 1: it happened this way, and yet it opens a door 321 00:19:20,948 --> 00:19:23,748 Speaker 1: for us to celebrate Franco, celebrate you guys, the seventies 322 00:19:23,788 --> 00:19:27,108 Speaker 1: Steelers and truly truly make this weekend special as we 323 00:19:27,188 --> 00:19:30,068 Speaker 1: honor the life and legacy of an NFL legend. You 324 00:19:30,108 --> 00:19:32,028 Speaker 1: know what, Peter, I know we've got I got to 325 00:19:32,068 --> 00:19:34,388 Speaker 1: get off here with you, but I will say this, 326 00:19:34,708 --> 00:19:38,908 Speaker 1: and I think the NFL was very The seventies were 327 00:19:39,348 --> 00:19:42,388 Speaker 1: a great period in time in the NFL where we 328 00:19:43,028 --> 00:19:47,588 Speaker 1: started having these physical dynasties. And I think what happened 329 00:19:47,908 --> 00:19:51,428 Speaker 1: because of the great John Madden and all that awesome 330 00:19:51,468 --> 00:19:55,708 Speaker 1: football team that the Raiders had, because of the Immactic Reception, 331 00:19:55,988 --> 00:20:00,228 Speaker 1: there became such a bitterness and that rivalry was much 332 00:20:00,508 --> 00:20:06,028 Speaker 1: watch TV. And from the good of that, not that 333 00:20:06,108 --> 00:20:09,788 Speaker 1: we lost the following week to Miami at home, but 334 00:20:09,828 --> 00:20:13,868 Speaker 1: the good of that was it drew such attention from 335 00:20:13,908 --> 00:20:18,188 Speaker 1: the fans around the around the America and fans people 336 00:20:18,228 --> 00:20:20,348 Speaker 1: who weren't even football fans, all of a sudden, a 337 00:20:20,388 --> 00:20:23,428 Speaker 1: whole new audience joined in to watch the Steelers and 338 00:20:23,468 --> 00:20:26,868 Speaker 1: the Raiders when we played, all because of the immaculate reception. 339 00:20:27,388 --> 00:20:31,228 Speaker 1: And so we didn't have twenty tape machines and fifty cameras. 340 00:20:31,548 --> 00:20:33,908 Speaker 1: If we'd have had that play today, y'all know this, 341 00:20:34,308 --> 00:20:37,188 Speaker 1: it'd have been broken down. They all had it in 342 00:20:37,588 --> 00:20:43,588 Speaker 1: our under one frame by frame and then said, oh, 343 00:20:43,708 --> 00:20:48,188 Speaker 1: I think he touched it right there. Let's get a closer. 344 00:20:50,988 --> 00:20:54,348 Speaker 1: And we wouldn't have had We would have basically have 345 00:20:54,428 --> 00:20:57,668 Speaker 1: taken the human element out and made it modern technology. 346 00:20:57,708 --> 00:21:01,068 Speaker 1: And this the human element that made this game so great, 347 00:21:01,348 --> 00:21:05,308 Speaker 1: so great, And so the play was ilya are legal 348 00:21:05,508 --> 00:21:08,508 Speaker 1: or any other plays the same way to Fred Swerdinger 349 00:21:08,588 --> 00:21:13,028 Speaker 1: College against against Swannee in Super Bowl thirteen. All of 350 00:21:13,028 --> 00:21:15,788 Speaker 1: that just made for great football. Now we don't quite 351 00:21:15,788 --> 00:21:18,668 Speaker 1: have that because technology is such. We were trying to 352 00:21:18,668 --> 00:21:20,708 Speaker 1: get a perfect game, which takes a little bit of 353 00:21:20,748 --> 00:21:23,828 Speaker 1: that out, takes a little bit of that away, I 354 00:21:23,868 --> 00:21:26,908 Speaker 1: think I believe. Anyway, but Franco Harris, a great man 355 00:21:27,308 --> 00:21:31,308 Speaker 1: and immaculate reception fifty years later, still voted the number 356 00:21:31,348 --> 00:21:33,668 Speaker 1: one play in the NFL. Better to leave one of 357 00:21:33,708 --> 00:21:37,348 Speaker 1: these days, but right now we'll celebrate that, Terry.

It was a 445 00:25:51,948 --> 00:25:54,188 Speaker 1: rookie running back who lost the guy guarding him and 446 00:25:54,188 --> 00:25:57,188 Speaker 1: who caught it. But more importantly, this is important news 447 00:25:57,188 --> 00:25:58,868 Speaker 1: for us at the table as the Bills make the 448 00:25:58,868 --> 00:26:01,108 Speaker 1: stretch run. I want you guys to know that I 449 00:26:01,188 --> 00:26:05,268 Speaker 1: learned this week that the Buffalo Bills refer to James Cook. 450 00:26:05,308 --> 00:26:08,308 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the players as Jimbo Cook. They call 451 00:26:08,388 --> 00:26:10,908 Speaker 1: him Jimbo Cook. And if you think that's good, there's 452 00:26:10,948 --> 00:26:13,428 Speaker 1: another nickname. I'm just gonna give you one, guest, and 453 00:26:13,468 --> 00:26:15,348 Speaker 1: I wish I was making this up.

They call 456 00:26:24,348 --> 00:26:27,628 Speaker 1: him Himbo slash Jimbo. So now we will officially adopt 457 00:26:27,628 --> 00:26:29,508 Speaker 1: that as a show. That's great rookie running back. Daba 458 00:26:29,548 --> 00:26:35,508 Speaker 1: Cook's brother Jimbo Cook aka occasionally Himbo.

It's nineteen ninety four 493 00:28:19,588 --> 00:28:22,388 Speaker 1: and Marino did something that I had never seen done 494 00:28:22,388 --> 00:28:24,748 Speaker 1: in an NFL game before. He did the fake spike. 495 00:28:25,028 --> 00:28:26,948 Speaker 1: I think the fake spike is one of the coolest 496 00:28:26,948 --> 00:28:30,348 Speaker 1: players of all time. Heartbreaking for a Jets fan. I 497 00:28:30,388 --> 00:28:32,108 Speaker 1: want to say Marv Albert's on the call, but I 498 00:28:32,108 --> 00:28:36,868 Speaker 1: don't know. Let's listen shot the do yard line have 499 00:28:36,988 --> 00:28:42,108 Speaker 1: a rain shot? The chen has a first down again, 500 00:28:42,668 --> 00:28:46,148 Speaker 1: stop bike one, gonna try to get everybody on the 501 00:28:46,188 --> 00:28:48,708 Speaker 1: line of distribution stash one time out. They'll save that 502 00:28:48,788 --> 00:28:51,428 Speaker 1: for the field goal if they have to. But we 503 00:28:51,468 --> 00:28:54,388 Speaker 1: are saying another sprip talking on after Barba Rado, who 504 00:28:54,468 --> 00:29:01,028 Speaker 1: fires touchdown. You don't have the Jets for thinking he's 505 00:29:01,028 --> 00:29:03,668 Speaker 1: gonna take the ball accord into the ground he started. 506 00:29:05,668 --> 00:29:08,068 Speaker 1: So if you don't say that it's a fake spike, 507 00:29:08,108 --> 00:29:10,068 Speaker 1: everyone thinks he's gonna spike it to kill the clock. 508 00:29:10,148 --> 00:29:12,468 Speaker 1: He fake spikes it, throws it to the corner of 509 00:29:12,468 --> 00:29:15,668 Speaker 1: the end zone. Mark Ingram's father, mark Ingram, catches the 510 00:29:15,748 --> 00:29:18,508 Speaker 1: ball for a touchdown and the Dolphins thwart the Jets. 511 00:29:18,508 --> 00:29:20,188 Speaker 1: The Jets were in first place in the AFC East. 512 00:29:20,228 --> 00:29:22,468 Speaker 1: Everyone was riding high. Jets started that season, fell off 513 00:29:22,468 --> 00:29:24,228 Speaker 1: the rails up to the end, and the Dolphins went 514 00:29:24,268 --> 00:29:26,868 Speaker 1: on and had a great finish to the year. Kylie said, 515 00:29:26,948 --> 00:29:28,628 Speaker 1: one of my favorite seasons ever the ninety four seens 516 00:29:28,628 --> 00:29:31,108 Speaker 1: with that patched the seventy fifth year anniversary. So many moments, 517 00:29:31,108 --> 00:29:34,028 Speaker 1: that was one of my favorites. Marino fake Spike, Colock's 518 00:29:34,068 --> 00:29:35,908 Speaker 1: not stopping getting my guy in the other get love 519 00:29:35,948 --> 00:29:39,828 Speaker 1: to Bernie Parmerly or not Bernie Lord. So I really 520 00:29:39,868 --> 00:29:41,868 Speaker 1: looked in the history books and I really considered a 521 00:29:41,868 --> 00:29:44,908 Speaker 1: lot and one that just has impacted me so much 522 00:29:44,948 --> 00:29:47,468 Speaker 1: in my life. The score was thirty three to nothing 523 00:29:47,468 --> 00:29:51,908 Speaker 1: at the half. The game was in minute the Colts. 524 00:29:51,948 --> 00:29:55,148 Speaker 1: They took a lead, I mean, the Vikings couldn't save themselves. 525 00:29:55,268 --> 00:29:58,428 Speaker 1: Thirty three nothing at the half and then four straight 526 00:29:58,468 --> 00:30:01,268 Speaker 1: touchdowns to end the game for the Vikings. Even the 527 00:30:01,308 --> 00:30:03,668 Speaker 1: beginning of the third quarter was not pretty. But no, 528 00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:05,708 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, Kings come all the way back. They 529 00:30:05,788 --> 00:30:09,228 Speaker 1: send it into overtime. Okay, that makes it historic and 530 00:30:09,268 --> 00:30:12,268 Speaker 1: memorable enough, but then to set up a field goal 531 00:30:12,428 --> 00:30:16,388 Speaker 1: after exchanging possessions in the extra frame for a Greg 532 00:30:16,468 --> 00:30:20,988 Speaker 1: Joseph forty yard field goal as time expired. Come on, 533 00:30:21,388 --> 00:30:23,428 Speaker 1: is there a better ending in a game in edible 534 00:30:23,508 --> 00:30:26,788 Speaker 1: history than the biggest comeback ever thirty three nothing at 535 00:30:26,788 --> 00:30:30,268 Speaker 1: half thirty nine, thirty six or final Mikings Winter. It's unbelievable. 536 00:30:31,428 --> 00:30:33,068 Speaker 1: Welcome back? What did Dave? You've had and we're just 537 00:30:33,108 --> 00:30:34,748 Speaker 1: so thrilled we get it right to it. You won't 538 00:30:34,748 --> 00:30:41,588 Speaker 1: believe this, Andrew, come on, We're so glad to have you. 539 00:30:41,588 --> 00:30:43,668 Speaker 1: How you feeling? I'm good. This is much better than 540 00:30:43,708 --> 00:30:45,228 Speaker 1: the zoom where I just feel like I look so 541 00:30:45,228 --> 00:30:47,908 Speaker 1: swollen on the screen. You know, I'll dude, it's terrible. 542 00:30:47,908 --> 00:30:50,468 Speaker 1: The camera has like fifty pounds, especially this time of year. 543 00:30:50,788 --> 00:30:52,508 Speaker 1: We gotta get right into this. You're nearing the end 544 00:30:52,548 --> 00:30:54,388 Speaker 1: of your first season as an analyst. There's the night, 545 00:30:54,428 --> 00:30:56,788 Speaker 1: there's ant football. How's it been? How you feelings the 546 00:30:56,868 --> 00:30:58,268 Speaker 1: end of the year? You know, the families here, what's 547 00:30:58,308 --> 00:31:00,508 Speaker 1: wrong with you? It's been fun? You're my first Christmas 548 00:31:00,548 --> 00:31:02,228 Speaker 1: week where I've had something I can just choose what 549 00:31:02,268 --> 00:31:04,148 Speaker 1: I want to do in twenty something years. So it's 550 00:31:04,148 --> 00:31:05,948 Speaker 1: been a blasts. We brought the kids, spent the week 551 00:31:05,948 --> 00:31:07,908 Speaker 1: in New York. It's been fun, but being analysis has 552 00:31:07,908 --> 00:31:09,548 Speaker 1: been exciting. I think I've been I've never been so 553 00:31:09,588 --> 00:31:12,708 Speaker 1: invigorated to cover the game every Sunday, Monday, Thursday. I'm 554 00:31:12,708 --> 00:31:14,228 Speaker 1: just locked in. I love it. I don't want to 555 00:31:14,268 --> 00:31:15,868 Speaker 1: miss a single game. It's like I'm trying to figure 556 00:31:15,868 --> 00:31:17,988 Speaker 1: out how to watch all the games at the same time. Yeah, 557 00:31:18,948 --> 00:31:20,628 Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. It's great. Even in our 558 00:31:20,628 --> 00:31:23,188 Speaker 1: house we discussed football all the time. Now so said 559 00:31:23,188 --> 00:31:25,708 Speaker 1: to me, worried about pass rushers. I'm trying to understand 560 00:31:25,748 --> 00:31:27,628 Speaker 1: all the different things that are going on across the league. 561 00:31:27,668 --> 00:31:30,548 Speaker 1: So that's been a blast from Yeah, Jaguars Jets tomorrow. 562 00:31:30,628 --> 00:31:32,668 Speaker 1: When the schedule came out in May, I think I 563 00:31:33,028 --> 00:31:35,108 Speaker 1: might have texted some of the executives at your shop 564 00:31:35,108 --> 00:31:38,548 Speaker 1: and said, then, do Amazon any favors Jets Jaguars Christmas weekend? 565 00:31:39,148 --> 00:31:41,628 Speaker 1: But now it's a huge game and you've got Trevor 566 00:31:41,708 --> 00:31:44,388 Speaker 1: Lawrence and Zach Wilson. We know Lawrence is doing well. 567 00:31:44,508 --> 00:31:46,988 Speaker 1: What's your read on Wilson in this whole situation. You know, 568 00:31:47,028 --> 00:31:48,988 Speaker 1: I think it's tough you look at it. I think, really, really, 569 00:31:48,988 --> 00:31:50,588 Speaker 1: it's a great week for those two guys to look 570 00:31:50,628 --> 00:31:53,428 Speaker 1: at their situations. Six weeks ago, Trevor Lawrence has his 571 00:31:53,588 --> 00:31:55,468 Speaker 1: moment against Denver where he says after the game, I 572 00:31:55,508 --> 00:31:57,468 Speaker 1: never want to feel like this again. I never want 573 00:31:57,508 --> 00:32:00,108 Speaker 1: this moment for me and my team. And you see 574 00:32:00,108 --> 00:32:02,268 Speaker 1: how he's responded to it. And I think, right now 575 00:32:02,308 --> 00:32:04,708 Speaker 1: we're waiting. You see all the talent he has. But 576 00:32:04,708 --> 00:32:06,468 Speaker 1: when is Zach Wilson going to have that moment where 577 00:32:06,508 --> 00:32:08,628 Speaker 1: it hits him? Hey, you know what, don't own it, 578 00:32:08,828 --> 00:32:10,348 Speaker 1: wear it and go. You know what, when you play 579 00:32:10,428 --> 00:32:13,428 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL, this is your life. Your team 580 00:32:13,508 --> 00:32:15,228 Speaker 1: is going to be dictated and wins and losses in 581 00:32:15,268 --> 00:32:17,348 Speaker 1: the way you perform every week, and you got to 582 00:32:17,348 --> 00:32:19,348 Speaker 1: be okay with it and where the pressure. Well, I 583 00:32:19,388 --> 00:32:20,788 Speaker 1: love what you said that you don't have to game 584 00:32:20,828 --> 00:32:22,748 Speaker 1: plan anymore. You get to watch games and in just 585 00:32:22,988 --> 00:32:24,708 Speaker 1: the whole league. Now you get to sit back and 586 00:32:24,748 --> 00:32:27,228 Speaker 1: really watch the Bengals after you were there for eleven years, 587 00:32:27,428 --> 00:32:29,068 Speaker 1: they've won six games in a row for the first 588 00:32:29,068 --> 00:32:31,148 Speaker 1: time since twenty fifteen, which you were on that team 589 00:32:31,188 --> 00:32:33,108 Speaker 1: to do. So, where does Joe Burrow fall in the 590 00:32:33,188 --> 00:32:35,908 Speaker 1: MVP conversation? Where can we put him on this list 591 00:32:35,908 --> 00:32:38,068 Speaker 1: and how do you defend it? I think, you know what, 592 00:32:38,148 --> 00:32:39,908 Speaker 1: he's going to be that late late person at the 593 00:32:40,028 --> 00:32:42,108 Speaker 1: end here. I think if he finishes these last three 594 00:32:42,148 --> 00:32:44,068 Speaker 1: weeks the way he's been playing, I think he's got 595 00:32:44,068 --> 00:32:46,508 Speaker 1: a chance to really have himself in that conversation because 596 00:32:46,508 --> 00:32:48,548 Speaker 1: you look at the injured to Jalen, how that's going 597 00:32:48,588 --> 00:32:50,868 Speaker 1: to kind of play out, whether he's going to be available. 598 00:32:51,068 --> 00:32:53,748 Speaker 1: Obviously we've seen what Mahomes has done, but who is 599 00:32:53,788 --> 00:32:56,388 Speaker 1: Mahomes not beating recently Joe Burrow? So I mean that 600 00:32:56,388 --> 00:32:58,508 Speaker 1: puts him in that conversation. If he continues to play 601 00:32:58,548 --> 00:33:01,388 Speaker 1: how he how he has this season, I think people 602 00:33:01,468 --> 00:33:03,348 Speaker 1: now are feeling really good. I think they started the 603 00:33:03,388 --> 00:33:05,668 Speaker 1: season everybody freaked out and then it was like, hey, 604 00:33:05,708 --> 00:33:07,988 Speaker 1: you know what else has changed past protection? They given 605 00:33:08,068 --> 00:33:10,588 Speaker 1: him time. When this guy has time, he makes people pay, 606 00:33:10,708 --> 00:33:12,108 Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be right there in it. 607 00:33:12,268 --> 00:33:14,668 Speaker 1: I know it's more fun to run block than pass block, 608 00:33:14,708 --> 00:33:16,868 Speaker 1: but can you make an argument for justin Jefferson at 609 00:33:16,868 --> 00:33:19,788 Speaker 1: this point, because he's also a valuable part of that 610 00:33:19,908 --> 00:33:21,668 Speaker 1: Vikings team in the way they've been playing. I think 611 00:33:21,668 --> 00:33:23,428 Speaker 1: there's no question he's one of the most dominant football 612 00:33:23,428 --> 00:33:25,508 Speaker 1: players on the field. I think we'd all know, though. 613 00:33:25,508 --> 00:33:28,068 Speaker 1: It always kind of leans on that quarterback position, and 614 00:33:28,108 --> 00:33:29,908 Speaker 1: I think for him it's gonna be tough. I think 615 00:33:29,908 --> 00:33:31,588 Speaker 1: it'll be tough to get in there. Obviously, I think 616 00:33:31,588 --> 00:33:33,948 Speaker 1: everbody will celebrate the success he's had and what a 617 00:33:33,988 --> 00:33:36,268 Speaker 1: dominant year he's had. But I think really you're going 618 00:33:36,308 --> 00:33:38,628 Speaker 1: to get end up with this conversation being about Mahomes 619 00:33:38,788 --> 00:33:41,108 Speaker 1: and probably Jalen Hurts. If he's able to get back 620 00:33:41,108 --> 00:33:42,548 Speaker 1: on the field and finish the season the way the 621 00:33:42,548 --> 00:33:45,188 Speaker 1: Eagles have looked, it'd be really really rare for a 622 00:33:45,268 --> 00:33:47,388 Speaker 1: quarterback not to win it in that position. Now, big 623 00:33:47,388 --> 00:33:49,508 Speaker 1: will you talking about? Now? On those days you're trying 624 00:33:49,548 --> 00:33:51,868 Speaker 1: to consume much much football as possible, I can relate, 625 00:33:52,148 --> 00:33:54,188 Speaker 1: What is your style? How do you wash the games 626 00:33:54,188 --> 00:33:56,308 Speaker 1: on Sunday with so much going on? You know, I 627 00:33:56,788 --> 00:33:59,108 Speaker 1: kind of mix and match. It'll be some red zone, 628 00:33:59,148 --> 00:34:01,468 Speaker 1: there'll be some like the multi clips screens where I 629 00:34:01,548 --> 00:34:02,948 Speaker 1: just like want to catch a big play and get 630 00:34:02,988 --> 00:34:05,028 Speaker 1: to that game really fast. And then I used the 631 00:34:05,028 --> 00:34:06,988 Speaker 1: computer too to kind of see what's going on. But 632 00:34:07,068 --> 00:34:08,828 Speaker 1: I still go old school sometimes to with the phone, 633 00:34:08,868 --> 00:34:10,428 Speaker 1: just tracking like, oh they got a first down and 634 00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:13,748 Speaker 1: let me Yeah, I'm just tracking games. I'm trying to 635 00:34:13,748 --> 00:34:15,788 Speaker 1: pick every way I can to follow them. The worst 636 00:34:15,788 --> 00:34:17,828 Speaker 1: part is like when it's somebody like the Rams or Bengals, 637 00:34:17,868 --> 00:34:19,228 Speaker 1: where it's like, all right, in my heart, I want 638 00:34:19,268 --> 00:34:21,228 Speaker 1: to watch him play, but it's really don't have anything 639 00:34:21,228 --> 00:34:22,628 Speaker 1: to do with what I got to cover this week. 640 00:34:22,708 --> 00:34:24,828 Speaker 1: So that's when I'm really torn those weeks. But that 641 00:34:24,868 --> 00:34:26,548 Speaker 1: part's been so much fun. I don't know if I've 642 00:34:26,548 --> 00:34:29,188 Speaker 1: ever enjoyed the game the way I do right now. 643 00:34:29,268 --> 00:34:31,628 Speaker 1: It's it's so much fun to track everything that's going 644 00:34:31,708 --> 00:34:34,068 Speaker 1: on and really buy in and almost to become a 645 00:34:34,068 --> 00:34:36,108 Speaker 1: fan and say, man, I believe in this guy or 646 00:34:36,148 --> 00:34:38,588 Speaker 1: this coach and this team and track them throughout the 647 00:34:38,628 --> 00:34:42,428 Speaker 1: year real quickly. Stafford, his wife is on a podcast, 648 00:34:42,428 --> 00:34:44,588 Speaker 1: said he's coming back. Your thoughts on that, Yeah, I 649 00:34:44,588 --> 00:34:46,748 Speaker 1: think obviously they've had a tough year, and you know 650 00:34:47,068 --> 00:34:49,908 Speaker 1: NFL history injury level, so I think you know, for them, 651 00:34:49,948 --> 00:34:52,388 Speaker 1: it's about him coming back. The mentality those guys got 652 00:34:52,388 --> 00:34:54,108 Speaker 1: to get together in the offseason, find out who they 653 00:34:54,108 --> 00:34:55,908 Speaker 1: want to be in the identity of that football team, 654 00:34:56,188 --> 00:34:58,588 Speaker 1: and make a comeback, because in twenty nineteen they struggled 655 00:34:58,588 --> 00:34:59,908 Speaker 1: to found a way to get back to the Super 656 00:34:59,908 --> 00:35:01,348 Speaker 1: Bowl and win it. I think that's the thing. You've 657 00:35:01,348 --> 00:35:02,988 Speaker 1: seen the Rams go down and come back, and will 658 00:35:03,028 --> 00:35:05,868 Speaker 1: Sean McVay find a way to come back?

But 667 00:35:24,788 --> 00:35:27,108 Speaker 1: you know, really it's been about learning that new team. 668 00:35:27,148 --> 00:35:30,268 Speaker 1: When you leave the locker room playing football, you think 669 00:35:30,308 --> 00:35:32,348 Speaker 1: you'll never have that again. But being up there with 670 00:35:32,388 --> 00:35:35,308 Speaker 1: Tony and Carressa and Fitz and charm and then Michael 671 00:35:35,308 --> 00:35:37,028 Speaker 1: Smith and Taylor Rooks and them, I mean, we've just 672 00:35:37,068 --> 00:35:39,428 Speaker 1: had so much fun bonding every week and you realize 673 00:35:39,468 --> 00:35:41,268 Speaker 1: like how much you've become family and you found a 674 00:35:41,308 --> 00:35:43,548 Speaker 1: new team, and that's really kind of been the most 675 00:35:43,548 --> 00:35:46,028 Speaker 1: fun to me, and throughout the years developing those relationships 676 00:35:46,028 --> 00:35:48,188 Speaker 1: and getting to know one another. Absolutely. I remember that 677 00:35:48,268 --> 00:35:49,948 Speaker 1: first shot they had of you going to break and 678 00:35:49,988 --> 00:35:52,508 Speaker 1: you had your rings on and your hoodie dayser and 679 00:35:52,508 --> 00:35:54,228 Speaker 1: you're just staying there.
