In hour three, Appel and Crowder discuss if Florida Panthers GM Bill Zito is in the same breath as Pat Riley in player personnel. Crowder tells us how much he enjoys in sports the game inside the game when there's trash talking involved. Appel reads some not so great RB Alexander Mattison red zone stats, and explains what the Florida Panthers need to do down the stretch of the season. The consequences for the Heat if they lose tonight vs the Celtics, how much of the Miami Heat's struggles are on Erik Spoestra, and if Pat Riley can figure the pieces needed for the roster. Appel and Crowder discuss hypothetically if Cleo Lemon would do better than Bob Griese in the Super Bowl in 1973.
In hour one, Clippers run the Heat off the floor last night and it further proves the Heat are just in a free fall. We celebrate the 25 year anniversary of Marino retiring with the full list of Dolphins starting QB's since + a ranking of the top 10 Dolphins QBs of all time that sparks debate when Crowder boldly argues Tua is better than Bob Griese. Plus, Coach Jim Larrañaga joins the show to recap his night at the Kaseya Center last night.
Don Strock shares his experiences as a backup quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, reflecting on the importance of preparation and the unique challenges of the role. He discusses his long tenure with legendary coach Don Shula, providing insights into game day dynamics and memorable moments, including the iconic double overtime game against the San Diego Chargers, as well as backing up both Bob Griese and Dan Marino. The conversation shifts to health as Dr. Jonathan Fialkow, Chief Cardiologist at Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida, joins to discuss Don's heart health journey, including his experiences with aortic valve replacement and atrial fibrillation, emphasizing the importance of preventive care and awareness of heart conditions.

Good things do come to those who wait! When I launched The QuadCast 4 years ago, I had a list of dream guests. High profile folks who didn't know this little engine that could even existed, and yet I held out hope. At the top of that list was Marc Buoniconti, and today he's here! Persistence pays off my friends. Following Marc's SCI in 1985, his father Nick set out to conquer paralysis with the same ferocity as he did quarterbacks and ball carriers over his 15-year Hall Of Fame NFL career. It was then that he and world renowned neurosurgeon, Dr. Barth Green, came together and founded The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. Since then, research at The Miami Project has changed the landscape of knowledge and therapeutic strategies for spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury. In our wide ranging conversation, Marc shares stories about growing up around the Miami Dolphins, and such great players as Paul Warfield, Bob Griese, and Larry Csonka. He recants in great detail the weeks, days, and moments leading up to his injury, and he praises the amazing father he loved and admired. Today as the President of The Miami Project, Marc proudly continues the yeoman's work his father and Dr. Green began 38 years ago. This episode has it all, and I can't wait for you to hear it! Thank you Marc!
Ed Newman's professional journey has been the stuff of legends. In 12 NFL seasons, all with the Miami Dolphins, Newman was part of a Super Bowl championship team in 1973, blocked for Bob Griese, Larry Csonka, and Dan Marino, was selected to four Pro Bowls and was named a first-team All Pro in 1984 while also attending law school! Ed then traded his cleats for a gavel serving as a County Court Judge in Miami for nearly 30 years. Contributors to this episode include Sevach Melton and Dolphins Productions.

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYThis episode provides a detailed chronicle of the Miami Dolphins' performance from 1970 to 1979. Under head coach Don Shula, the Dolphins improved their record significantly, reaching multiple playoffs, three Super Bowl appearances, and two Super Bowl victories, including a perfect season in 1972. Notable players like Bob Griese, Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield, and Jake Scott consistently made the Pro Bowl and All-Pro rosters throughout this period, playing a crucial role in the team's successes. However, the departure of key players such as Csonka and Warfield in 1975 led to some fluctuation in the team's performance. Despite these challenges, the Dolphins maintained a strong regular season record of 104–39–1 and a post-season record of 8–5 over the decade, capturing five division titles, three AFC titles, and two Super Bowl titles.You can read the full blog post here.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS BACKGROUNDHost Mark Morthier grew up in New Jersey just across the river from New York City during the 1970s, a great time for sports in the area. He relives great moments from this time and beyond, focusing on football, baseball, basketball, and boxing. You may even see a little Olympic Weightlifting in the mix, as Mark competed for eight years. See Mark's book below.No Nonsense, Old School Weight Training: A Guide For People With Limited TimeRunning Wild: (Growing Up In The 1970s)
The year 1972 was a special year for the Miami metropolitan area. It was an election year when South Florida hosted the political conventions of both major parties, when the sitting president made Key Biscayne famous as the winter White House, and when Dade County approved a $553 million “Decade of Progress” bond issue to fund projects that would upgrade the county's infrastructure and cultural institutions. It was also the year of the “perfect season” for the Miami Dolphins. Tune into this week's podcast episode to hear about the early history of the Miami Dolphins and that magical season in 1972. Perfection, or going undefeated and untied for an entire season through the championship game, is a feat that had never been accomplished before or since the Miami Dolphins of 1972.

The Stephen A. Smith Special (formerly the Turkey Bowl) and grand finale of Jabroni History Month 2022.
The history between the Bears and Dolphins isn't all that long and isn't all that storied, in fact, you probably only remember one game with any kind of clarity. But the guys dive in and dig up all kinds of info on the Bears connections of the Dolphins first-ever head coach, who won their last playoff game, and if any of the '72 Dolphins are still alive (sadly, some are). They make fun of Bob Griese's facemask, get jealous over the number of interim coaches Miami has had and play a very funny game of "Guess who the Dolphins' original co-owners" were. Then they get into breaking down the matchups over the years. The teams have only played 13 times in 52 years and the Bears have only won four of them. Re-live the times Nat Moore caught a touchdown off Dan Hampton's helmet, Jim Harbaugh almost outdueled Dan Marino, Rex Grossman threw three interceptions, and Cody Parkey kicked a 53 yard field goal attempt about 30 yards. Andy amuses himself with the list of Bears' all-time leading receivers, again, and you'll learn what Bear is last in receiving yardage all-time. And for some reason they start talking '80s cable movies, the Spice Channel and early satellite dish technology. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/desipio/message
We recap the weekend the only way we know how! With the Help of Bob Griese's infamous calls and our biggest and best moments of the weekend that was.
Miami Dolphins Tales From The Deep Selected by the Dolphins in the first round of the 1977 NFL Draft, Kim Bokamper played his entire career in Miami, first as an outside linebacker from 1977-1980, and then as a defensive end from 1981-1985. Bokamper would become a fixture in South Florida as a television broadcaster on WFOR-TV CBS Miami, as a sideline reporter for Dolphins games for 560 WQAM Radio, and as a restaurateur with his “Bokamper's Sports Bar & Grill” restaurants. Bo, who is also one of the all-time great story tellers in Dolphins' history, dives in with OJ and Seth for the first time since 2019, and does not disappoint. Fresh of the Dolphins historic come-from-behind victory over the Baltimore Ravens, we relive the thrilling experience from his sideline vantage point (3:03), which of course sparks memories of Bob Griese becoming the first Fins passer to throw six TDs in a 1977 game that Bo also had a front row seat to (7:47). Kim tells us the craziest thing he ever witnessed as a sideline reporter (10:16), recalls weathering the storm of both Defensive Coordinator Bill Arnsparger and legendary Head Coach Don Shula after a missed sack opportunity (14:56), and explains why even the equipment truck was held to Shula's strict schedule (17:58). Bo then gifts us two of the most hilarious stories ever told in The Tank as he details Ed Newman's 12-Minute Run attempt (22:08), and an outrageous blackmail scheme for Dan Marino's missing high school shoulder pads (39:03). Finishing strong, Bo delivers a walk-off-sack in our Two-Minute Drill (48:46). Contributors to this episode include Sean “DJ Prec” Todd and Dolphins Productions.

Tony Collins leads us through our 5 Star Picks of the Week for Week 8. Paul Alexander, Pittsburgh Sports Talk Radio Host, shares his insights on the Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins. Richmond Webb shares his thoughts on his alma mater Texas A&M and his expectations for the rest of their season.

The team wasn't especially big, quick, or flashy. It rarely blew away opponents. Its best player was a fullback, its defense was anonymous, and it played without its Pro Bowl quarterback for most of the year. Still, the 1972 Miami Dolphins are the only team to finish a season undefeated -- 17-0, to be exact -- in National Football League history. Fresh off a Super Bowl loss the season prior, Miami played like a team determined to win a championship, racking up 14 straight regular season wins. The Dolphins offense relied heavily on their ground game, running the ball 613 times and boasting the first pair of 1,000-yard runners in Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris. On the other side of the ball, the "No Name Defense" was no less dominant, giving up the fewest points in the league. Then, in the postseason, Miami enjoyed the return of quarterback Bob Griese, who was sidelined most of the season due to leg and ankle injuries. In Super Bowl VII, Griese threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Howard Twilley for the game's first score before a few scares by George Allen's Redskins threatened the Dolphins' bid for an unbeaten year.

Narrated by Bill Mercer. It seemed they were forever the bridesmaid. They were continually coming up short in the championship games. That was until 1972 and now you can relive the magic of a group that became known as “America's Team”. In Super Bowl VI, the Cowboys crushed the Dolphins 24-3, in which they rushed for a record 252 yards and their defense limited the Dolphins to a low of 185 yards while not permitting a touchdown for the first time in Super Bowl history. Dallas converted Chuck Howley's recovery of Larry Csonka's first fumble of the season into a 3-0 advantage and led at half time 10-3. After Dallas received the second-half kickoff, Duane Thomas led a 71-yard march in eight plays for a 17-3 margin. Howley intercepted Bob Griese's pass at the 50 and returned it to the Miami 9 early in the fourth period, and three plays later Roger Staubach passed 7 yards to Mike Ditka for the final touchdown. Thomas rushed for 95 yards and Walt Garrison gained 74. Staubach, voted the game's most valuable player, completed 12 of 19 passes for 119 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Pigskin Past is part of the https://sportshistorynetwork.com/ (Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear). EPISODE SUMMARY Seemingly every year in pro football, or at least every few years, a couple of teams that meet each other in the regular season, will then go on to meet each other again in the playoffs. In 1973, that occurrence happened three times in the NFL postseason. This first of three segments to this story begins with the incumbent world champions at the beginning of the 1973 season, the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins were fresh off of their historic perfect season from the previous year, and all the talk around the league wondered just how long Miami would keep their winning streak going. As it turned out, in the second week of the 1973 season, the Dolphins discovered the answer to that question. The Oakland Raiders upended Miami, 12-7, thanks to the placekicking of old pro George Blanda, who booted four field goals for Oakland's points. The Raiders defense did yeoman's work on this day, limiting the Dolphins to just 105 total rushing yards on 24 carries. They also limited Miami quarterback Bob Griese to just 90 total passing yards......................

A retro look into the Catholic legends of the Super Bowls, both past and present. Jeff takes us on an in-depth look at the notable big game achievements from Catholic Super Bowl NFL stars like Tom Brady, Bret Favre, Roger Staubach, and Bob Griese. Randy covers the hallowed history of greatest Super Bowl winning Catholic head coaches like Don Shula, Mike Dikta, Chuck Noll, and of the course, the Legendary Vince Lombardi.

1. Super Bowl LV Recap -Was this more of an awesome performance by the Bucs, just sheer luck given the circumstances Mahomes and the Chiefs were in, or a mixture of both? -Who do you think should have won SBLV MVP honors? 2. Looking Ahead -Do you consider the Bucs favorites to win the NFC in 2021? -Only six QB’s have won a Super Bowl after losing one (Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, John Elway, Roger Staubach, Bob Griese, and Len Dawson). With a gun to your head, does Patrick Mahomes eventually join that group? 3. QB Carousel -The second domino fell just last week as the Eagles agreed to trade Carson Wentz to the Colts for a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional 2022 second-round pick that will become a first if Wentz either plays at least 75% of the snaps or plays at least 70% of the snaps and the Colts make the playoffs. Is Wentz beyond repair, or can you see Frank Reich fixing him? Which team got the better end of the trade? -Do you think the Jets get a similar haul for Sam Darnold should they decide to trade him? -Just when you thought the carousel couldn’t make you even more dizzy, it was reported in The Athletic that Russell Wilson is indeed VERY unhappy with the Seahawks organization. While his agent Mark Rodgers clarified to ESPN that Russ has NOT demanded a trade, he did list four teams his client would be open to if/when a trade is discussed (Cowboys, Saints, Bears, Raiders). Moreover, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler added many around the NFL DO expect Russell Wilson to be traded eventually, and the only question is whether such a trade gets done this year or in 2022. When would you anticipate Russ getting traded? Which one of the four aforementioned clubs is the best possible fit for him? -How great of a potential fit are the Panthers for Deshaun Watson? 4. Franchise Tag (You’re It/You’re NOT It?) -Bucs: Chris Godwin or Shaq Barrett? -Ravens: Yannick Ngakoue -Bears: Allen Robinson -Cowboys: Dak Prescott -Broncos: Justin Simmons -Lions: Kenny Golladay -Packers: Aaron Jones -Chargers: Hunter Henry
All season long, the old guys have looked into the light of the Dolphins future, and shown the light on things that need to be fixed. The culmination of all they've discussed, and the look at the philosophical and somewhat UNEMOTIONAL approach the Dolphins need to take to keep things going in the right direction. Is Tua the future? How does he compare to Dan Marino and/or Bob Griese? What about the coaching staff? Gailey at OC? What should the front office prioritize with our draft picks? Where do we look in Free agency? These two guys have an educated opinion on all that.

Miami Dolphins Tales From The DeepWhile working as an artist in the Miami Herald newsroom in the early 1970s, Dave Cross took up photography as a hobby and began shooting Miami Dolphins games. Dave's hobby developed into a passion, which ultimately led to a job offer from the NFL franchise. In 1984, Cross accepted and became the Dolphins' official team photographer, a position he would hold for the next 30 years. Charged with preserving the team's visual history, Cross has photographed every Dolphin from Bob Griese to Dan Marino; Larry Csonka to Ricky Williams; Bill Stanfill to Jason Taylor. While in The Tank, Dave explains how he made the transition from newspaper man to team photographer, reluctantly recalls a time where he forgot to put film in his camera before photographing Jimmy Johnson and his coaching staff, and details his journey with the 1972 Dolphins on their trip to the White House. Dave was also married on the team charter returning from Don Shula's 325th coaching victory, gave Harley Davidson riding lessons to Dave Wannstedt, and is a dead ringer for former Notre Dame head coach, Lou Holtz.
The Game Before the Money: Oral History of Pro and College Football
Bob Griese, the Miami Dolphins' Hall of Fame quarterback, talks about playing in the 1972 AFC Championship Game after returning from a dislocated ankle injury similar to that of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. In this episode we hear a brief interview clip from Griese's interview for the book, The Game before the Money: Voices of the Men Who Built the NFL. I also examine Griese's career before and after the dislocated ankle and broken leg he sustained in Week 5 of the 1972 season. I discuss the similarities between Prescott's dislocated ankle and compound fracture with Griese's injury, and how Griese's recovery might predict Prescott's return. This episode is a “Five Minutes of Football History” edition of The Game before the Money Podcast. New episodes of The Game before the Money Podcast are released each week. The show is produced and hosted by Jackson Michael, author of The Game before the Money: Voices of the Men Who Built the NFL, published by the University of Nebraska Press.

Today's latest news headlines: antibody tests can't escape con-men, J.Crew files for bankruptcy, Carnival Cruise does its best Titanic impression, and Trump shifts the coronavirus goalposts once more. Thank you to our Executive Producer Gwen! Find us on quicknews.podbean.com.Full Transcript:Hello and welcome to this Monday, May 4th edition of Quick News Daily where we give you the news, no fluff, no filler, just news made for the 21st century. My name is Brett, and let me be the first, or at least let me start off by saying May the 4th Be With You! Yes, it is Star Wars day, and that’s special to us here at Quick News Daily because our first episode was a review of Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker, and we have special news for new Star Wars content: we have just released our review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. So if you have the time, check that out; it’s the longest episode I’ve done so far, and it was so much fun to make. But we have a lot of news headlines to get through right now, so let’s get moving.Starting off, the FDA has announced that they are tightening the rules on antibody tests, which test your blood for the antibodies that are produced in the days and weeks after fighting off a virus. Now initially they had relaxed these rules in order to get enough production to meet the demand, but con-men are going to con and snake oil salesmen are going to snake oil. There are a bunch of people putting these tests out on the market that have super low accuracy; basically you couldn’t trust them at all. As a result, the FDA declared that they wanted “flexibility, not fraud”, which I think is a smart move for them because it would be super dangerous to have all these people walking around, thinking that they have antibodies against the coronavirus when they really don’t. Not only is it dangerous because they could actually get sick, but they could also get other people sick if they’re a silent carrier. It’s definitely a good idea to get these faulty tests off the market, and I’m glad the FDA actually stepped in. It’s hard to blame them for initially relaxing the rules because you really do want to get a lot of production out there. We were having a tough enough time getting regular tests out there. They did the right thing here, and there are actually still 11 FDA-approved antibody tests, so it’s not like the whole concept of antibody testing won’t work.Next up, we have some news on some big companies. First, J. Crew filed for bankruptcy. This means that the creditors are going to be taking control of the company, but they are not closing. J. Crew is actually getting $400 million dollars from the creditors so they can be comfortable with their finances while they navigate bankruptcy. This is a retailer that actually was a casualty of the coronavirus lockdowns, but they did have glaring financial problems before this. The former CEO and chairman admitted that he misjudged the impact that technology would have on the retail industry. That’s never a good sign, and that’s a pretty important thing to miss on, so it’s not like this is all happening because of the coronavirus. Another big company, Carnival Cruise lines, announced that it is starting cruises on August 1st. They’ll launch from three cities, with eight boats total. Carnival has said that they are working with experts and government officials to come up with procedures to keep guests safe. And in other news, the Titanic announced that they’re working with experts to make their ship unsinkable. It’d be hard to get me to go on a cruise, even before all this. It’s just a carrier for diseases; you’re stuck together, confined, for like three weeks, the air gets recirculated, there are buffets, you just can’t escape. It’s basically a petri dish on the open ocean, so I think it’s hard to justify what they’re doing here since it’s pretty much inevitable that another cruise will get coronavirus. I just saw this come across on ESPN: legendary Colts and Dolphins head coach Don Shula has passed away at age 90. This isn’t related to coronavirus; from what Hank Goldberg said on ESPN, it didn’t sound like it was unexpected. Shula is most known for coaching Johnny Unitas, Bob Griese, and Dan Marino, so he has quite the track record. He also won the 1972 Super Bowl with the Dolphins in the only undefeated season in NFL history, so definitely a legend there. Our thoughts go out to the family. Ending the show here today with some coronavirus news, at this time, cases in the United States are over 1.1 million, and at the same time Donald Trump is moving the goalposts once again for deaths. First he said it would be 0, then 60,000, and now he’s saying it’ll be 100,000. It’s never good when Trump shifts it up, because he only shifts it up a little, meaning that the experts have shifted it up a ton. So while it seems like it’s getting better, we can’t give up yet. He also said we’ve tested more people than the rest of the world combined, which is obviously false. The most generous stats say we’ve tested around 6.8 million people, and Russia, Canada, and Italy combined have 7 million just between them. That’s not even counting all of South Korea’s testing, so obviously not even close. That’s it for news today folks. Thank you to our first patron, brand new Executive Producer Gwen!

Travis is back for another podcast dedicated to the memory of the NFL's all-time wins leader at the head coach position, Don Shula. We'll hear from Dan Marino, Larry Csonka, John Offerdahl, Richmond Webb, Bob Griese and Nat Moore.
In the first of our Gold and Black Radio Express: Saturday Chats, Tom Dienhart and Alan Karpick discuss what it was like for them to grow up around Purdue sports. The duo shares some of their Ross-Ade Stadium memories in grade school and high school before they attended the West Lafayette campus. Memories of Purdue's first Rose Bowl season, upset wins over Michigan and having over 70,000 fans in Ross-Ade are some of the highlights.
Earl Morrall threw for over 20,000-yards during his 21-year NFL career. He was a part of three teams that won championships and was named NFL MVP in 1968 and he played a HUGE role in the Miami Dolphins perfect season of 1972. Not bad for a backup quarterback. In fact, Morrall played backup for guys like Fran Tarkenton, Johnny Unitas and Bob Griese. When Unitas went down in 1968, the Baltimore Colts didn’t lose a beat and Morrall led them to the NFL Championship. In 1972, after Bob Griese went down, Morrall picked up the slack and went 9-0 to help the Dolphins complete the NFL’s only perfect season. Joe Gibbs, who led the Washington Redskins to three Super Championships, once said the second most important position on a football team is backup quarterback and Morrall just might be considered the greatest backup ever. Morrall, who passed away in 2014, went 63-36-3 when he was called upon to step in and lead his team. The legendary Don Shula, who coached Morrall with the Baltimore Colts, knew the value of having a great backup, and when the Colts waived him, Shula who had moved on to the Miami Dolphins, quickly claimed Morrall despite the fact that Earl was 38-years old and had already played 16-years. Mark Sullivan, who grew up a fan of the Baltimore Colts and later became a member of the Professional Football Researcher’s Association, the PFRA, has conducted hour upon hour of research, and has written several articles on his favorite sport – football . Recently, Mark authored an article about Morrall for the Coffin Corner, the PFRA’s publication. In that article, Sullivan detailed the career of Morrall and now he joins Sports’ Forgotten Heroes for an in-depth discussion about Earl.

Miami Dolphins Tales From The Deep Following a standout career at the University of Florida, Nat Moore returned to his hometown of Miami as a third-round draft choice of the Dolphins. Moore bridged the gap between two of the team's most prolific eras, hauling in 74 touchdown passes along the way, the majority of which were thrown by a pair of Hall of Fame quarterbacks in Bob Griese and Dan Marino. Joining O.J. and Seth in The Tank, Nat talks learning the ropes from another Hall of Famer in Paul Warfield, being in the huddle with Griese and Marino, feeling the wrath of the iconic Don Shula, and finding time to mentor “The Marks Brothers,” Mark Duper and Mark Clayton. Nat also discusses some of his most memorable moments in South Florida lore including his “Helicopter Catch” against the Jets, his role in helping the Dolphins hand the 85 Chicago Bears their only loss of the season, and how giving a young Luther Campbell his first DJ gig changed the face of Miami music forever.

In der neuen Ausgabe des "NFL Boulevard" sprechen Carsten und Kucze ausschließlich über die Miami Dolphins. Über ihre Geschichte, ihre Triumphe, ihre Misserfolge, ihre Stars und vieles mehr. Carsten ist seit Jahrzehnten Fan der Franchise aus Florida. Warum er die Miami Dolphins so mag (obwohl dort zuletzt Jay Cutler die Spielmacher-Fäden gezogen hat)? Hört und seht selbst... Wie schon in den bisherigen Team-Sonderfolgen über die Seattle Seahawks, die Dallas Cowboys und die Green Bay Packers sprechen wir zuerst über die Historie des Klubs. Wann wurde er gegründet und von wem? Danach schwelgen Carsten und Kucze in Erinnerungen. Denn, man mag es heute kaum glauben: Die Dolphins waren mal richtig erfolgreich! Von 1970 bis 1995, in der Ära von Headcoach Don Shula, zählten die Dolphins zu den besten Teams der NFL. Mit Quarterback-Stars wie Bob Griese oder Dan Marino. Aber natürlich ist auch die jüngere Vergangenheit Thema. Dazu zählt der geplatzte Wechsel von Drew Brees nach Miami im Jahr 2006. Der neue Besitzer Stephen M. Ross sowie das neue Logo, das den Delfin jetzt ohne Football-Helm zeigt. Zudem sprechen wir darüber, was den Miami Dolphins in der kommenden Saison zuzutrauen ist. Die aktuelle Folge des "NFL Boulevard" gibt's natürlich auch wieder als Video auf unserem YouTube-Kanal.
Bob Griese did more than just lead the Miami Dolphins to a perfect season and Super Bowls. His winning ways changed the culture of South Florida sports and proved it could be a major league market. Rick Horrow spent some time with the Hall of Fame quarterback during the season and he’s their Keeping Score conversation. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Reusse is discussing quarterbacks with multiple Super Bowl wins this week, specifically Bart Starr and Bob Griese.
The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Mike Freeman, Author of SNAKE: The Legendary Life of Ken Stabler. The first in-depth biography of one of the most talented and infamous legends to play in the National Football League—the life and times of pro football's first bad boy, famed Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler. Ken "The Snake" Stabler was the embodiment of the original Men in Black—the freewheeling, hard-hitting Oakland Raiders. The league's first swashbuckling pass thrower, the mythical southpaw Southerner famous for come-from-behind drives late in the game, Stabler led the Raiders to their first Super Bowl championship in 1977. In an era dominated by gentleman quarterbacks like Roger Staubach and Bob Griese, this 1974 NFL MVP, four-time Pro-bowler, and Super Bowl champion was an iconoclast who partied as hard as he played and lived life unapologetically on his own—not the NFL's—terms. Though Stabler's legacy is larger-than-life, there has never before been an exclusive account of him, until now. Snake goes deep under the surface of Stabler's persona to reveal a man who, despite his penchant for partying and debauchery, was committed to winning and being the best player he could be. From his college days playing for Bear Bryant at Alabama to his years with the Raiders under coach John Madden, his broadcasting career to his death in 2015 and the revelation that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, known as C.T.E., Snake probes the myriad facets of Stabler's life on and off the field to tell his complete story, and explores how his legacy and the culture and times that pivotally shaped it, continues to impact football today.
BankBosun Podcast | Banking Risk Management | Banking Executive Podcast
Kelly: My next guest worked with his brother, and was so fierce and mean in his first career that some journalists called him and his brother the “Bruise Brothers”. He wasn't in the mafia. He was an NFL safety for the Miami Dolphins. Greetings! This is Kelly Coughlin. Voiceover: Kelly Coughlin is CEO of BankBosun, a management consulting firm helping bank C-Level Officers navigate risk and discover reward. He is the host of the syndicated audio podcast, BankBosun.com. Kelly brings over 25 years of experience with companies like PWC, Lloyds Bank, and Merrill Lynch. On the podcast, Kelly interviews key executives in the banking ecosystem to provide bank C-Suite officers, risk management, technology, and investment ideas and solutions to help them navigate risks and discover rewards. And now, your host, Kelly Coughlin. Kelly: Hello! This is Kelly Coughlin. I am the CEO of BankBosun and program host. This is the first in a two-part interview series with a guest that I think is fascinating, interesting and frankly, he’s simply an enjoyable guy. His name is Glenn Blackwood. And he is a Board Member and Principal of Equias Alliance, a bank-owned life insurance and nonqualified benefits consultant for regional and community banks. What makes Glenn more fascinating and interesting than your average BOLI guy is Glenn is a former NFL athlete with the Miami Dolphins. And for all you bankers out there, who of you never reenacted the 5 seconds left, game on the line, opponent in the red zone, pass thrown your way, interception, game over, you win… Well, this guy has been there, done that. And you all hear that not all games ended this way. You will win some and lose some, and learning to deal with that was part of being a professional athlete. You know, in my mind, competition is the common denominator between sports and business. Certainly, professional sports are a business industry in and of themselves, but I am talking about the competition on the field of play in sports - the gridiron; and the competition on the field of play in business - the boardroom. So what can be learned from professional sports about competing more effectively in business? And more specifically, what can our bank clients learn from professional sports and a professional athlete who knows business? That’s the purpose of this podcast. Glenn has over 25 years of experience in the bank-owned life insurance and nonqualified benefit plans consulting and has worked with hundreds of banks in the design and construction of cost-effective solutions, to help banks compete and retain good talent. But before that, he was with the Miami Dolphins for about 10 years and I think he played middle linebacker for the Dolphins. Glenn, did I get that one right? Glenn: You got everything right except position. If I had played middle linebacker, I’d have gotten killed. Kelly: Oh that’s right, you played safety. Glenn: Yes, I played safety. Kelly: All right. Great. Glenn, welcome! How are you doing? Glenn: Thank you. I am doing fine. Glad to be visiting with you. Kelly: Great! Thanks for coming on board. Glenn, I don't want to try to summarize your background, because you know yourself better than I know you. Just give us a summary of education, business background, family, where you living, how many kids? Glenn: My wife and I have been married for 34 years and we have 4 children and 4 grandchildren. I grew up in Texas and I grew in a football family. My dad played running back at Baylor in the late ‘40s. And then, I had two brothers and one sister. My sister was a very good athlete as well. She played tennis and actually was one of the top tennis players in the city of San Antonio where we grew up. I’m the youngest of the four and my oldest brother Lyle played at TCU and went on and played in the NFL with a variety of teams, and actually ended up playing with me down in Miami for his last 5 years, which was really a kick. Then I have another brother Mike, who was probably the best athlete of all of us, but he was just smaller than Lyle and I were. He was a tremendous baseball player, basketball player, golfer, football player, and he played at TCU and then primarily due to size restraint, he wasn’t able to play in the NFL. I did really well academically in high school so back then there wasn’t as much educational counseling it’s kind of like, well, if you did really good in grades you went into med, you became a doctor. And then I ended up going to the University of Texas out of my high school. Darrell Royal was kind enough to offer me a scholarship and there is a long story there, which I won’t bore you with. I was not his early on pick, because I was kind of small as well. And they ended up taking a chance on me and I think it worked out for them and certainly worked out for me. I ended up starting three years there at the University of Texas. I was captain the last year of my playing there. So I was in pre-med at the University of Texas. Actually, had completed those or was right in the process of completing, when the Dolphins drafted me. And the dean at one of the, I think it was the University of Texas Dental School, said "Look, you can come back and go to school anytime, but how many people get a chance to play in the NFL?" So I really appreciated him having the candor because a lot of academic guys don’t really value the sports side. He was really a balanced guy and he said, “Go try the NFL. And you can always come back and go to school.” And I was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the 8th round and I ended up. So after 10 years in NFL, I wasn’t going to go back and try to redo that, and ended up playing 10 years for the Dolphins. And started my career there and ended my career there. I actually had nine seasons. I played in my last year but I was on injured reserve with a knee injury, which ultimately ended my career. So it was a good run. Kelly: Those were Don Shula years, I’m thinking, right? Glenn: That would be correct. That was 1979. I was drafted and I retired in April of 1989. I had all my years with coach Shula and that was a great experience from a standpoint of playing for a coach who had a grasp of the game and all phases of the game, as well as how to manage a football team. The head coach has to do a lot of stuff and Shula was probably as good at it as anybody I've ever seen. Kelly: And let’s see, Bob Griese would have been the quarterback in those years? Glenn: Actually, Griese was there the first two years I came to the Dolphins and then after that, we had a little stub period and then we drafted this kid out of Pittsburgh named Dan Marino and that was the end of that. Kelly: And that was the end of that. So you had, what, four years with Marino at the helm? Glenn: Danny came in at '83. So I actually had five years of playing with Danny. Kelly: Five years, yeah. Glenn: There is a great story there. He came up to my brother was in the locker room and my brother had been playing at that time for like 12 years, kind of the seasoned veteran. And here is the rookie Marino at his first start and Danny tells the story during his Hall of Fame speech. My brother walked up to him and said, "Danny, look just relax. You are a great football player. You’ve got a great arm. You are going to be great in this league. Don't be nervous. Don't go out there with any anxiety. But just remember our whole season is riding on your shoulders." Marino said, “Thanks a lot!” And he properly went out threw for a 356 yard game and so began the career of Dan Marino and probably one of the most amazing releases I’ve ever seen by a quarterback. He was so quick release. People say, “Oh, what it’s like playing with Danny?” And I’d said, “Well, you know I watched him from the sidelines so I was glad I wasn’t playing against him. But I practiced against him every day. And he made me a better football player because his release was so quick that you had to get a jump. You couldn't play around with him. You couldn’t give him any space because he could get that ball going with accuracy and velocity quicker than anybody I’ve ever seen. Kelly: I always have this incredible amount of respect for defensive players - safeties and cornerbacks - when they are in a situation where they know the game is on the line and then it’s the safety and the cornerback facing a really good quarterback and a really good receiver and there you are getting ready for the play. What’s that like? How do you get your mind in the game, where you’re not thinking "Oh my God! If I blow this, I’m done." Right? How do you get yourself prepared for that? Glenn: Well, I think part of it is that you realize that you are playing against professionals that are really good at what they do. So you’re going to get beaten some. And if you don't have a healthy understanding of that, then you’ll be a basket case in the NFL. There are those individual NFL players that are so talented…they relish that opportunity because they know they’re that good and they’re going to be able to rise to the occasion. Most of the players in the NFL are really good athletes, but they are not of that ilk where they are just going to dominate every time. So it’s nerve racking and it is exhilarating when you rise to the occasion, and it’s a gut punch when you don’t. And I’ve been beat for touchdowns and I’ve intercepted passes as they were going in for touchdowns and I’ve stopped the play. And as they said in the Wide World of Sports, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. And it’s painful. But if you don't realize that that’s very much the way life is. You’re going to have some moments of exhilaration in life and you are going to have some pain parts in life as well. If you don't negotiate that well, then it can make for a tough time. Most guys who have a difficult time with that don't last as long in the game, because they can't handle the pressure. I really felt like I prepared extremely well for a game. I had knowledge of my opponents. I knew what they liked to do. I knew what they like to do in certain downs and distances. And so I could it whittle it down. I remember there was a play where we were playing with the Jets one time and they had a really good tight end, almost like a receiver guy a guy named Jerome Barkum, and I knew what pass route they were going to run. They ran it against me and Richard Todd threw the ball, completed it ind the end zone for touchdown. I knew exactly what they were going to run. I was just playing against a really talented receiver and a quarterback who put the ball in a place where only he could catch it. Kelly: Do you get in situations or have you seen players in situations where the fear factor of getting burned it almost creates a paralysis and they get so consumed by failing that they are almost slow to react cause they are so consumed by that? Glenn: There is no doubt you see that. You see it all the time. And that’s happened to me. Everybody has those moments where you know you say, “I don't want to be the weak link in this defense or this offense.” So absolutely, that happens. And I think some guys can live through that and come out on the back side and learn from it, and they mature and they grow through things. And then others, they never get a handle on it. And I think it hinders their career. Look, I watched a lot of guys that were much better athletes than me, come into training camp every year and for some reason you know I was able to keep my job for you know ten years. A large part of it was because I really prepared a lot for the games and I had a good knowledge of the game, and I could coordinate our defense really well. The other part of it was that you kind of grow into that knowing that you’ve got to realize that you are going to have times where you make the play and there’s going to be times where it doesn’t work out the way you wanted to. And that’s the game of football. You are playing with really good players on the other side of the line and that their job is to make you look bad, to beat you. They are good athletes. So sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Fortunately, down in Miami, we won a little bit more than we lost and that was good. Kelly: Ever been in that situation where there is just mismatch, you are making the wrong reads and then, they are picking on you? Glenn: Very seldom I saw myself in that position because I was not reading things right. It usually was just physical talent. I wasn’t the biggest, fastest guy out there. You are going to get in those situations – and sometimes the quarterbacks see it and sometimes they don't. Kelly: So after the NFL, you decided you wanted to get in to the bank-owned life insurance business. How did you end up picking this industry? Glenn: You know the reason I got into the business is that – it’s a long story but I will make it very short. I ran into a former adversary of mine in the NFL, a guy named Wally Hilgenberg. And Wally played linebacker for the Minnesota Vikings…and played sixteen years in the NFL. And he and a few other gentlemen had started this business and they called the company Bank Compensation Strategies. And that company placed the first BOLI product on a bank in Bloomington, Minnesota back in 1982. And it was kind of a quid pro quo. It was an insurance policy purchase to hedge a SERP or deferred compensation expense. And that’s the way this whole business really got started. And Wally and I ran into each other at a fishing tournament..I’ve got a name for it but I won’t say it on this…but it’s basically the old guys fishing tournament..former retired guys from the NFL we were fishing down in Louisiana and I happened to sit next to Wally on a bus going to the fishing tournament. And he and I got to talking. And I had prepared for after football by going to a university down in Miami and studying for a couple of years. I had worked in an investment banking firm because I knew they’d kick me out of football one day. And that’s probably the one thing if I could say for most athletes, especially professional athletes is you’ve got to prepare for the day they tell you you're not good enough anymore. Because it will happen. And when it does, the severing of that cord, of that tie is swift, and it’s brutal, and it’s fast and it’s painful. If you are not economically prepared and educationally or vocationally prepared, it’s a very tough transition. Fortunately, I had done that and Wally and I got to talking and he said we’ve got this program where he had this BOLI asset and the benefit needs. And he explained it to me and what I saw in it, was I saw there were three real focused needs of expertise. You had to have some sense mathematically. You had to have accounting grasp. You had to have a legal grasp, because there were agreements involved. And then, you had to understand the regulatory piece of it. And I loved the multitasking and juggling all those balls. That was very similar to what I did on the football field, because I ran our defense for most of the years I was playing down there in Miami. And so, I had to know what the line backers were doing. I didn’t play their position but I had to know what they were doing, what their challenges were, and our defensive line, our corners. And then I had to when the offense came up and showed us a different formation, I had to change our defense and put us in the right one. I love Bill Arnsparger, my defense coordinator, who was one of the greatest defense coordinators in the NFL and he sat me down on the bleachers one time and said before I was going into my first start, where I was running the defense, and he said, “Glenn. I can only guess right half of time. You have to put the right defense the other half.” And first of all, Bill was understating his capabilities, because he didn’t guess, number 1. He was well prepared. And most of the time, he gave us the right defense. But he gave me that freedom, to move and change if I saw something I didn’t like. And I loved that ability, the need to understand all the different pieces of how a defense works together. And it is the same way in this business. You got to understand the legal, the accounting, the regulatory. And I love being able to juggle those balls and being able to put everything together and explain to a bank and a bank board how this works, how we can put it in, how it works from an accounting perspective, and tax and balance sheet and income statement, and then what we do to take care of them to caretake for them on an ongoing basis. I looked at it and I thought this is a good fit for my skill set and Wally wanted somebody in Florida and I said I think I found the right guy for you, and that's me. Kelly: Did you ever have to play up in Metropolitan Stadium in the winter? Glenn: I played in the Met Stadium but not in the winter. And by the time I played up there in the winter, we had a dome. But I did play in the Packers in the teens and I played in New England and Chicago and New York. Kelly: How tough was it from Miami because half your games were down or more than half of your games were down in the southern climate, right? But how tough was that? Glenn: It was hard because you had to adjust to the cold weather really, it hardens everything and it makes it harder to catch the ball. One of things coach Shula used to say is don’t overdress and he’d be yelling in the locker room, don’t overdress. His point out of that was you can be warm, you can put on enough stuff to get you warm, but you can't function. You had to get that balance of layering that allowed you to maintain some form of body heat but also be able to move fluidly in your uniform, etc. I think, actually, while it was tough on us, I think it was much harder for the northern teams in November to come down to Miami and play in 80 degree weather and it’s humid. I’ve watched teams literally just melt right before us because they just couldn't handle it in the second half. Kelly: Really? What about the Mile High Stadium? Did you ever must have played there? Glenn: We did play at Mile High Stadium. That just really wasn't a lot of problem either for me. The lack of altitude was offset by the lack of humidity…and so you didn’t sweat a lot out there. It was invigorating…I loved playing in that. The worst place I ever played from a physical standpoint of trying to be able to breathe was when we played the Rams out in Anaheim one year and they had a stage four smog alert. It was a one o'clock game; they had to turn the lights on in the stadium. There was so much smog. My lungs burned for about 2 days after that game. Kelly: Let's finish with the dumbest thing you have ever done or said in your situation? Glenn: I remember one time I was so, we had a fourth and one the Buffalo Bills were going into our endzone. They had kind of a strong set towards me and I was a strong safety and I really wasn’t that big a guy, so my adrenaline was flowing and I thought this guy was going to try and kill me. And they’re going to try to run right over me. It was kind of what you talked earlier, where there’s a little bit of fear there and I didn't want to be the weak link in the defense. So I was geared up and as soon as the ball was snapped, I took off to run into that flanker, he just turned sideways and I whiffed on him and he was a tight end flanker, it was a real tight set. They ran a play action pass and you know when I whiffed on him, I basically stumbled and the guy I was supposed to be covering ran right into the end zone and they threw him a little pass for a touchdown. Kelly: Well, that finishes Part 1 of my interview with Glenn Blackwood. I started the podcast saying Glenn was fascinating, interesting and simply a good guy, and I think that came out in this interview. I personally just love hearing his war stories of the NFL. In Part 2, we will talk more about his second career in business and focusing on his expertise in the bank-owned life insurance business. And true to his form, he is competing and winning in this business just like he did with the Miami Dolphins. Thanks.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Bob Griese joins Tom Leyden and Butch Stearns as they tell the story of the 1973 NFL season. The 1973 Dolphins completed a two-year stretch of dominance that will likely never be matched in NFL history. Over the course of two years, Miami finished with a 32-2 record and two Super Bowl titles. A year after going undefeated, the Dolphins continued their run of success, winning the AFC East by three games with a 12-2 record. The Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers both finished 10-4 in the AFC Central, while the Oakland Raiders won the AFC West with a 9-4-1 record. The Dolphins ground game was led by Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris, who combined for 1,957 yards rushing in 1973 - an impressive stat until you compare it to the achievement of OJ Simpson, who ran for an NFL-record 2,003 yards for the Buffalo Bills. Simpson had established himself as a dymanic runner through the first four years of his NFL career, but the Bills offensive line, nicknamed "The Electric Company," helped open massive holes that sprung Simpson loose. He became the first played to eclipse 2,000 yards rushing in a single season. Simpson won the 1973 NFL MVP, despite Buffalo missing the playoffs. In the NFC, the Los Angeles Rams began a run of eight straight seasons during which they'd qualify for the postseason. Led by John Hadl at quarterback, the Rams won th ewest with a 12-2 record, but were beaten in the divisional round of the playoffs by the veteran Dallas Cowboys, who were playing in an eighth-straight NFL postseason. The Minnesota Vikings, who had won 12 games in 1970, 11 in 1971 and 7 in 1972, took the NFC Central title and the NFC's top seed with a 12-2 record in 1973. Fran Tarkenton, who had quarterbacked the Vikings from 1961-66 before spending five seasons with the New York Giants, was in the second year of his second stint in Minnesota. Tarkenton and the Vikings returned to the Super Bowl for the first time in four years, defeating the defending NFC champion Redskins and Dallas in the playoffs. Super Bowl VIII was played at Rice Stadium in Houston in terrible weather, which suited the ground game of the Dolphins. Csonka was named MVP after rushing for a Super Bowl-record 145 yards, leading Miami to a 24-7 win and a second straight championship. The Dolphins became the second team in the Super Bowl-era to win back-to-back championships.
Tom Leyden and Butch Stearns are joined by Pro Football Hall of Famer Bob Griese as they tell the story of the 1972 NFL season. The Dolphins bounced back from their Super Bowl VI loss to the Cowboys to go undefeated and beat the Washington Redskins 14-7 in Super Bowl VII. No team has won a Super Bowl as an undefeated team again. Griese shares how Don Shula turned the Dolphins into winners, what motivated the players every week en route to the 17-0 season and where he feels the team stacks up in NFL history. The 1972 season featured some memorable playoff games, including the Steelers "Immaculate Reception" win over the Raiders and the Cowboys fourth-quarter rally win over the 49ers - both on the same day. The Redskins qualified for the Super Bowl under the leadership of George Allen, in his second year with the squad. Washington won the NFC East, unseating the defending champion Cowboys in the process and knocking off Dallas in the NFC Championship Game. Miami, despite having the AFC's top record, traveled to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game. With his team trailing in the third quarter, Shula turned to Griese, who had missed much of the season with a broken ankle, to relieve veteran QB Earl Morrall. Griese led a comeback win over the Steelers and went on to start in Super Bowl VII, a game the Dolphins dominated despite the misleading margin of victory. The Dolphins avenged the Super Bowl VI loss and clinched an indelible spot in NFL lore, becoming the first (and only) undefeated champion.
THE "RIGHT HAND MAN" OF BEAR BRYANT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA THE "RIGHT HAND MAN" OF DON SHULA DURING THE 1972 MIAMI DOLPHINS PERFECT SEASON Coach Howard Schnellenberger, Passing the Torch: Building Winning Football Programs...with a Dose of Swagger Along the Way. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS One of the most colorful and successful football coaches of the last half century is ready to tell his story for the first time. Howard Schnellenberger learned his trade from two of the all-time greats, Paul "Bear" Bryant and Don Shula, winning championships with each mentor. Schnellenberger then took the football torch that was passed to him and became a trans formative head coach at three universities. All three have now nominated him for the College Football Hall of Fame. For all of his personal triumphs, there have also been instances of crashing and burning. He was fired as head coach of the Baltimore Colts after a sideline showdown with the owner of the team. He walked away from the University of Miami to try to make his fortune in the ill-fated USFL. A move to the University of Oklahoma ended in humiliation. The coach talks about the wise decisions and the poor decisions he has made, and he shares the lessons he learned along the way. Schnellenberger's career has brought him into combat alongside or across the field from many of the greats. His high school teammate was the future Heisman Trophy winner and Green Bay Packer star Paul Hornung. Schnellenberger was an All-American player at Kentucky in 1952 at a time when players played both offense and defense. He later recruited or coached a stunning array of quarterbacks, including Joe Namath, Kenny Stabler, Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar, Vinny Testaverde, Bert Jones, Roman Gabriel, Bob Griese and Earl Morrall. Schnellengerber served as offensive coordinator while helping Alabama and Bryant claim national championships in 1961, 1964 and 1965. His early career also included serving as offensive coordinator for Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins in 1972 during the only perfect season in NFL history. Schnellenberger took over a University of Miami program that was contemplating dropping the sport in 1979 and instead led them to 46 wins in 5 years and a national championship in 1983. He established a swagger at the U and set the school on a path to five national championships in two decades. He dabbled with Donald Trump at the upstart United States Football League that sued the NFL for antitrust violations. In 1985 he returned to his hometown and took over another struggling program at the University of Louisville. After three losing seasons, he built them into a football power. His time there was capped by a 10-1-1 record in 1990 that included a Fiesta Bowl victory over Alabama. He retired from coaching in 1995, having been part of four college national championships. Coach Schnellenbeger managed an encore performance, though, that is a crowning achievement. He came out of retirement in 1998 at age 64 to start a football program at Florida Atlantic University. His team became the youngest program ever to receive a bowl invitation. He won that game and was awarded the Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year award. The next year his Owls won another bowl game, making the coach 6-0 and the winning-est undefeated coach in bowl history. Coach Schnellenberger retired again after the 2011 season, but not before building a 40,000 seat on-campus football stadium. A statue of the coach stands guard at the FAU stadium. In Louisville, a 60,000-seat stadium is part of the Howard L. Schnellenberger Football Complex that he fought to have built in that city. Schnellenberger saved football at two proud universities. He launched football at a third. He has sent more than 60 college stars on to professional football careers. His stories about those players and the secrets to his remarkable success are the subject of this memoir.
