The 7 Principles of Successful Partnering in the Age of AI Subscribe to our Newsletter:https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/Check Out UPX:https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ In this engaging session, Vince Menzione reflects on his extensive career transitioning from direct enterprise sales to building massive channel ecosystems, while unveiling the seven core operating principles essential for modern partnering. Highlighting tectonic industry shifts—from the PC and Cloud eras to the current AI revolution—Vince explains how traditional playbooks are becoming obsolete and why adopting a growth mindset, modeled by leaders like Satya Nadella, is critical for survival. He delves into the rising importance of hyperscaler marketplaces and co-selling, urging leaders to cultivate adaptability (AQ), emotional intelligence (EQ), and mutual trust to thrive in this rapidly changing tech landscape. https://youtu.be/5n8dqiamnmE Key Takeaways Traditional industry playbooks are outdated almost immediately due to the rapid acceleration of AI and market changes. Implementing a “growth mindset” is a foundational operating principle that can transform corporate culture and drive massive valuation increases. Executive commitment and clarity of vision are mandatory for aligning an entire organization around successful partnering. Building a strong brand story and maintaining a maniacal focus on OKRs turns strategic vision into executed results. The technology landscape has experienced massive tectonic shifts from the PC era to the Cloud, Mobile, and now AI, requiring high adaptability (AQ). Mutual trust remains the non-negotiable foundation for any successful professional relationship or partnership. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins.

[00:00:12] Vince Menzione: We just came back from Ultimate Partner live in Bellevue, Washington, where we hosted incredible leaders for two amazing days. Come join us for this next session where we explore the tectonic shifts we’ve all been seeing. What a list. Oh my gosh. I gotta tell you, I was just going back this morning and, and looking to see first of all the number, the sheer number is incredible. [00:00:36] Vince Menzione: But look at, look at all these top executives. These are, these are like market movers. The game changers. These are people that are doing more in our world, in our ecosystem than most others. And we are very fortunate to have the representation from these organizations. From these leaders in the room, and we try to curate an event that is more than a, a sales pitch. [00:01:00] Vince Menzione: We’re, in fact, we, we’re not a sales pitch. We’re all about, you know, helping you achieve more. And we try to frame that around operating principles. So, uh, a little bit of a roadmap lately. I mean, this started out like how did we get here in like, maybe five spots along the way. But, uh, for those of you who don’t know me and my background, and I’ve had an incredible career, I’ve been very blessed. [00:01:20] Vince Menzione: I did a startup that we grew from 6 million to 125 million. Went public on the Toronto Exchange. I’m still friends with the CEO, by the way. Helped, helped him grow and exit that company. Uh, I then followed one of the leaders there to go do a turnaround with Golden Gate Capital, and we took that and that’s where I built my first channel. [00:01:37] Vince Menzione: I went from doing enterprise sales as a direct seller, direct sales leader, VP to then going to building a channel. During nine 11, uh, this company was selling rugged notebook computers. Our biggest competitor was not a US company, and I spent a lot of time on Capitol Hill. I met with several congressmen and senators at a time when people did that, and they talked to each other. [00:01:58] Vince Menzione: And, uh, I built a channel. I got its a GSA schedule, and I understood. So I understood intuitively, even from that point in my career, how to move, how to shift from direct selling to building a channel, building a business around that. We became the growth engine of the company. One of my partners was one of the largest defense contractors, general Dynamics. [00:02:19] Vince Menzione: They had the big contract if you were selling to the US Army. And I knocked down the door basically and said, you got a partner with us. And that’s how we got the relationship established. And they wound up buying us for like 10 x what Golden Gate Capital had had spun us out for. And then Microsoft recruited me. [00:02:36] Vince Menzione: And for almost 10 years I was the GM of public sector partner strategy. And so I was, I was there and we’ll talk about Satya and other things, but I was there when we started the cloud. I was there when we pivoted the business from the old model and working with OEMs and trying to, to do things a different way to the cloud and co-selling and things like that. [00:02:56] Vince Menzione: And, uh, had a great experience. And then when I left I was like, oh, I’m just gonna go work for another big tech company. I started a podcast. I had a friend who said, you should do a podcast on partnering. You know a lot about this more than you probably think you do. And almost 10 years ago, I started a podcast in a spare bedroom. [00:03:13] Vince Menzione: And you know, it, it was, it built a following and there’s a lot of work, by the way, people, a lot of people do podcasts today. It was a lot of work for those of you. I congratulate anybody doing that. Uh, I went back inside for two years because I felt like I needed to go back into a big corporate environment. [00:03:29] Vince Menzione: And then I left during COVID and I learned a lot being at a big corporation about how hard it was to partner. Like it’s still hard. I don’t know how many people in the room feel this way. I know, I know the numbers are much better and Jay will talk through the numbers, but it’s not easy and a lot of organizations don’t understand it. [00:03:47] Vince Menzione: And that’s what we talk about here and we try to help people to achieve more and how to, how to get that mindset in the right place. But anyway, so. We started, we started doing the podcast after COVID, it took off. We did an event. Uh, there’s actually four of the five people that did partner. We called it Partner Mastermind. [00:04:06] Vince Menzione: We did an event about four years ago, uh, separately. And that led to Ultimate Partner. And it’s a long, the long history in the last four years of 10 events, like it’s been an incredible blast. And I want to thank each of you for being along this, this incredible ride with us as we continue to grow and expand. [00:04:24] Vince Menzione: We’ve been doubling every year for the last four years and um, I feel very blessed to be part of this. So I did wanna spend a minute with you on this. I don’t like the drain this slide, but I do wanna identify what I believe are seven operating principles of what makes successful partnering. And you know, you might say there’s eight, you might say there are other things I think about principles as opposed to tactics. [00:04:50] Vince Menzione: Tactics are transactional. They’re temporary and a point in time, and it’s how you respond and react to a situation. Principles are things you take with you, and that’s what we hope to do at Ultimate Partner. Take those things with you and then, then apply some of the things to the tactics that we need to have. [00:05:06] Vince Menzione: And so we talk about growth mindset. Uh, you know, depending on where you stand about Microsoft, these days, when this guy came in, stock was $36 a share. Okay. It’s in the four hundreds now. It was up to over 500 not long ago. He applied a different mindset. The first three things he did, Le got a copy of Carol Dweck’s book about mindset. [00:05:28] Vince Menzione: Growth mindset versus fixed mindset. Uh, he brought in Dr. Michael Vet, who’s a leading sports psychologist, like in, in the industry, who was the Seattle Seahawks sports psychologist. Mike’s been a podcast guest of mine. I’ve been to his studio. Um, and then he, we, he, he changed, he, he brought down, he took down the walls of the way Microsoft operated because leaders fought with each other. [00:05:51] Vince Menzione: They competed with each other for resources, for monetization, for everything. And he changed the mindset. Nobody’s a perfect CEO, but if I was to say to you who I think the best CEO of the last 10 years were, I’d give it to Saja Nadella, but it’s about mindset. It’s about changing or having the right mindset and applying that growth mindset to a successful partner. [00:06:12] Vince Menzione: Executive commitment, I talked about that. Other organizational will go nameless, but if you don’t, you can have the CEO down to the selling floor. Everyone needs to speak partnering, like in order to get it right in an organization. The whole company, the resources, the investments, the alignment, all has to align around partnering. [00:06:32] Vince Menzione: Executive commitment is incredible. Tony Saan took a small MSP to a half a billion dollar exit, took them to go, uh, Google Partner of the Year, seven straight years in a row. I think they’re eight this year. Uh, but Tony’s a good friend of mine. He is also been a guest on the podcast and, uh, somebody I’ve admired and worked with. [00:06:50] Vince Menzione: This is Dr. Michael Dravet. We talk about clarity, like once you get your mindset, once you get executive commitment, you then need to determine like how, what’s the vision? How do we drive success together? You need to turn, you need to know internally how to go do that. Then you lock arms with another organization and then you apply it to that partnership. [00:07:10] Vince Menzione: So that’s incredibly critical. Then, then you gotta do everything right? Like I always kid around about my days at Microsoft, we’d have these incredible meetings with leaders. They’d come meet with us at partner conference. I would literally go back to back for several days in the room. Slide deck after slide deck. [00:07:27] Vince Menzione: We’re high fiving at the end. [00:07:29] Vince Menzione: We’re gonna go do it [00:07:31] Vince Menzione: six months later. Crickets. Nothing happens, right? This happens a lot in partnering. Unfortunately, like we, we set up the right situation. We line everybody. We’re gonna go execute, we’re gonna drive results. You have to apply maniacal, focus, OKRs, everything to everything you do. [00:07:48] Vince Menzione: You need to apply. And by the way, you’re gonna hear from a lot of leaders here that do this type of work. So this is incredibly, uh, critical to success, brand and story. Like I wanna work with Microsoft. There’s gonna be probably 40 plus Microsoft leaders in the room, some of ’em sitting here and around the room. [00:08:06] Vince Menzione: How do you do that? Right? This is Ducks Raymond S. Good friend of mine at Point. I knew at point when they were just starting out. Scott Sackett is here. He’ll be up on stage. Uh, this man was expert on brand and story. Learn from people that are successful, how to be successful yourself, if you wanna be a top partner, if you wanna grow your business, whether you’re working with Microsoft, Google, Amazon, or any of the other partners in this room. [00:08:30] Vince Menzione: You need to be very clear about your brand, articulate it well, and drive a story against that. And that’s really super critical for success. And then once we do all those things, we start driving a flywheel of success. Aaron Feiger and some of the other people in the room, Reese Barry, are gonna be talking about how they do that. [00:08:47] Vince Menzione: They will help these organizations be successful. Pick putting that stake in the ground and driving it. And then what happens is after you drive this incredible success, what does my partner do? My tech giant, the company I’ve been working with, they go change everything. The market changes, the dynamics change. [00:09:05] Vince Menzione: This thing in November of 2022 called AI Happens, Chad, GBT hits the market. How do I respond and react to that? I need to be adaptable. I need to drive an AQ strategy on top of my EQ and iq, and we’ll talk more about that. So these are the operating principles, and we lay it out as a, as a diagram. And by the way, you see mutual trust. [00:09:26] Vince Menzione: Trust has to be in every room without trust, you have no partnerships, without trust, you have no business success. Like you can get buy in business, you can get buy in life, but trust is foundational. And I was very blessed to have that like grain ingrained in me as a young boy. Uh, so that’s our, that’s our operating principles. [00:09:48] Vince Menzione: Um, I’m working on a book right now. It’s almost done though. We’re, we’re talk, we’ll talk about that more, but that’s, that’ll be in the book. Um, and then we’ve been talking about tectonic shifts and I don’t know who said it first, Jay or, or me, but I know who you said it in the studio several years ago. [00:10:04] Vince Menzione: Jay’s been in our, our Boca studio many, many times. But we’ve been talking about tectonic shifts and Oh my gosh, right? So think about, I want everybody to think about this for a second. If you’ve been around tech for a while. We’ve gone through several, like these 10 year phases, the PC era, the cloud era, the well, the cloud. [00:10:23] Vince Menzione: We had client server, pc, client server, we had cloud, we had mobile, and now we hit ai. Those eras all took a period of time, right? They didn’t happen overnight. Like there was a trend like five, six years, seven years, maybe eight years, and then COVID happened, and I believe that COVID was the acceleration point because. [00:10:44] Vince Menzione: We were all forced to do things we didn’t do before. People went out and bought PCs that didn’t have them. Kids had to learn from home. Healthcare was administered tele telehealth, we didn’t do telehealth before. We had like 5% of the population to telehealth before that, uh, our work environment changed, right? [00:11:02] Vince Menzione: We were doing Zoom calls or teams calls back when I was at Microsoft Days, but the world started doing it. Our life started to change. That’s why being in the room places like this is so important. And so that really has accelerated everything. And this, you know, all these things have been accelerating over time and these are significant shifts. [00:11:22] Vince Menzione: We have the three leaders of the three marketplace organizations coming on stage here. Uh, the three hyperscalers, because marketplace went from, we were talking about it like, this is really cool. You need to go do it. A few years ago. So Microsoft lowering the rates on it, and then everything changed and then everybody started accelerating and it became the fungible token. [00:11:43] Vince Menzione: ’cause we used to, we used to partner, we used to take spreadsheets and put ’em up against each other and try to figure out deals and fax copies of deals that came in and say, we want credit for this one. And then Marketplace became a way to create a fun non fungible token. And really drive your success. [00:11:59] Vince Menzione: And so we have all the leaders that are running marketplaces in this room, by the way. So this is gonna be like the most incredible rich conversation. Co-selling. Co-selling is a, you know, a non-starter day. You have to co-sell it. People, we used to do vendor channel, which means I had somebody selling my stuff that’s not happening anymore. [00:12:19] Vince Menzione: And Jay, we’ll talk about the seven seats at the table. But this is all, these are all the things that have been changing. And of course, ai. I think that we are sitting here and I, I, I’ll share, and I’m stressing this, like this is, you need to be in this room because you’re gonna hear from leaders about what the next steps are. [00:12:35] Vince Menzione: ’cause I think we’re all paralyzed by AI and all the changes that are going on in our world and playbooks are no longer good because they’re outdated the week after they come out. So I need to, I need to follow this in real time. I think this is super important that you do, and it’s why we exist and it’s why this time is like no other. [00:12:53] Vince Menzione: I think, you know, we said maybe a generation, maybe it’s a lifetime in terms of the shifts that we’re seeing. So I, I kind of started here and I wanted to end here, uh, just because the light doesn’t go out. That’s what it’s all about. And this is it. This is it for me, right? This is my, my last run. I’m not gonna go work for a company after this. [00:13:16] Vince Menzione: I’m not gonna go into become a consultant. And I want this truly to be like special. And I want you to all feel like you’re part, you are part of it, and however much you wanna lean in and be part of it in the future, we want to grow this in the right way. I, I feel that we have an a unique opportunity. [00:13:34] Vince Menzione: Because we’re not a vendor, we’re not selling anything. I feel like we’re a platform. We’re that we’re that lighthouse and others can come in that are experts and I feel like more and more of ’em are showing up. And you know, the PDG guys did a great job today and others in the room and people that have been friends and supporting us for for years as on that sponsor slide. [00:13:56] Vince Menzione: And so we just want to continued this journey with each of you. Um, and so I want your feedback on what we’re doing. I want, I love your support. I love your passion. I love the fact that you’re still here in the room talking with, with or being here, listening to me today. Um, this is, that lighthouse is, you can see these pictures. [00:14:15] Vince Menzione: These are all family photos. Um, we go to that lighthouse, not because it’s a lighthouse, but uh, it happens to be like a landmark in our town. And, uh, it’s kind of cool. And actually the re Joe Namath has owns the restaurant across from the lighthouse, so we, we’ve got to see him a couple of times, which is kind of cool. [00:14:34] Vince Menzione: But I, I, I, I was posting this lighthouse when I started the podcast. And I was, yeah. ’cause that’s where I live and it’s my hometown. And I think about Dakota Rings and I think about other things. But, um, this is what matters. This is what matters is helping others. And we all are gonna need each other in this world because AI is gonna change our lives. [00:15:00] Vince Menzione: And dramatically it’s, I I think this is a once in a lifetime thing. But I think having people that you trust and being in the room with others where you can learn and grow and adapt, adaptability is so important. So, um, analog is the new digital as my, my good friend Gary V now says. And I think there’s this huge opportunity around what we do as ultimate partner to help everybody reach their pinnacle to everybody. [00:15:26] Vince Menzione: Be the ultimate partner. And I want to thank you for coming. I want your, thank you for your support, friendship, love. And, uh, you’re just an incredible group. Thank you. [00:15:41] Vince Menzione: Until next time, we’ll see you in person. Hopefully at our next event.

FIELD DAY MOVE

In this episode of the State of Mind Mental Health Podcast, I sit down with William Person — a 9-year member of Team USA's Olympic bobsled program and the lead plaintiff in a class action lawsuit fighting to protect athletes from CTE. William walks me through the cost of nine years and an estimated 22,000 bobsled rides on the human brain — and what happens when an entire roster of teammates starts taking their own lives. He shares the story of the friend who called him speaking gibberish before hanging himself in his family's factory, the autopsy that revealed Stage 4 CTE, and the decade William spent living on his living room floor, praying for death without ever having the language for what was wrong with him. He opens up about the New York Times article that finally diagnosed him when his doctors couldn't, the day Joe Namath's hyperbaric oxygen video changed his life, and the one hour in a chamber that gave him six straight days of clarity after ten years of cognitive fog. William is now building the American Post-Concussion Wellness Center — a free, public-facing treatment facility for veterans, athletes, and anyone suffering from undiagnosed brain trauma. If you've ever taken a hit to the head and wondered why something feels off, this conversation might change everything for you.

Several brand new rules opened up the pro passing game, which resulted in more yardage accumulation and more scoring by virtually every team. Those new rules changes were big in and of themselves. Then came the advent of an extra playoff team in each conference, meaning that a total of five teams in the AFC and five teams in the NFC made the playoffs. Those extra two playoff teams led to the birth of the NFL's very first Wildcard Weekend on the weekend after the regular season.......Read the entire episode blog post and check out some other cool info regarding this episode here.PRO FOOTBALL IN THE 1970S BACKGROUNDReliving Gridiron Glory: Pro Football in the 1970s with Joe ZagorskiProfessional football is one of the most exciting spectator sports in America.

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS HOME PAGEEPISODE SUMMARYLISTEN TO THE NY GIANTS: A TEAM WITHOUT A HOMERelive the "forgotten years" of Big Blue in this deep dive into one of the most tumultuous eras in New York Giants history. Joe Santos, creator of the documentary podcast The NY Giants: A Team Without a Home, joins Mark Morthier and Dave DePaola to recount the bizarre saga of 1973 through 1975.From being "evicted" by Mayor John Lindsay to playing home games 80 miles away at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, the guys explore how a promising 1972 squad collapsed into a 2-11-1 disaster. You'll hear about the logistical nightmares of practicing in Jersey City while playing in Connecticut, and the political friction that left the Giants feeling like second-class citizens in their own backyard.The conversation is packed with "I was there" nostalgia, covering the infamous 1974 regular-season overtime loss to Joe Namath and the Jets, where Broadway Joe famously "walked" into the end zone. The trio reminisces about the rugged conditions of the Yale Bowl—from the splinter-filled wooden benches and the absence of stadium lights to the tiny "snow fence" that served as the only barrier between fans and the gridiron.They also break down the personnel moves that defined the era, including the ill-fated Fran Tarkenton trade, the decline of workhorse Ron Johnson, and the defensive core of Brad Van Pelt and Jack Gregory that tried to hold it all together during the lean years before the Ray Perkins/George Young revolution.Beyond the stats, this episode captures the unique fan experience of the 1970s—the all-day bus and train pilgrimages to New Haven, the freezing rain of the 1974 finale against the Vikings, and the eventual move to Shea Stadium in 1975.Whether you remember shivering in the Yale Bowl stands or watching the highlights on NFL Game of the Week, this trip down memory lane explores the grit, the frustration, and the enduring loyalty of Giants fans during a decade of displacement. Stick around for part two as the guys continue to unravel the history of the team that eventually found its soul (and its trophies) in the Meadowlands.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.

Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner was joined by Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media to discuss several offseason topic surrounding the NFL and Cincinnati Bengals.This episode focused heavily on what they believe is one of the biggest injustices in NFL history — Ken Anderson not being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They argued that Anderson's resume, including an MVP award, a Super Bowl appearance, multiple passing titles, and his role in helping pioneer the modern passing offense, makes him as deserving — if not more deserving — than several quarterbacks already enshrined. The conversation compared Anderson to Dan Fouts, Sonny Jurgensen, and Joe Namath, questioning inconsistencies in Hall of Fame voting standards. They also discussed other Bengals greats they believe have been overlooked, including Willie Anderson and Lamar Parrish.The discussion then shifted to the current Bengals, including coaching staff changes, the hiring of a new run game coordinator, and what that might mean schematically. They analyzed offseason priorities, emphasizing defensive line upgrades — particularly at nose tackle and interior pass rush — over splashy, expensive names like Maxx Crosby or Bradley Chubb. They also debated contract extensions for players like Chase Brown, Dax Hill, and DJ Turner. The episode closed with a look ahead to the NFL Combine and draft priorities, identifying the Bengals' most urgent need.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John Elway. Joe Namath. Johnny Unitas. Peyton Manning. Look into the backstory of just about any star quarterback you've ever heard of, and you'll find either an overbearing father, or an absent one.  In honor of the Super Bowl and the men who play the biggest role in this game, author and ESPN senior writer Seth Wickersham joins Paternal to discuss why there's no cooler job title in America than quarterback, but each star's story often traces back to the influence of his father. He also discusses the challenges the sons of these star quarterbacks face in living up to the legacy of their dads, the perils of father/son relationships built on football, and why even Tom Brady struggled to be a quarterback and a father at the same time. Wickersham's latest book, American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback, is available now wherever you buy books.

The NFL is nearly synonymous with America today. Practically nothing is more quintessentially and universally American than tuning in every Sunday (and Monday, and Thursday… and sometimes Saturdays and holidays too) to watch the world's most beautiful ballet of violence. It generates the most revenue of any sports league globally and sets new records for team valuations each year. But it wasn't always this way.The history of the NFL mirrors America's own development: scrappy small-town teams rode the successive growth waves of the automobile, TV, the Internet and social media to grow larger than the even the founders' wildest dreams. Whether you watch football or not, the NFL is one incredible business story, and one that we've taken more lessons from over the years for Acquired itself than perhaps any other episode we've made.Note: This is a remastered release of our original January 2023 episode, updated to today's Acquired production standards. It also features a full hour+ followup section at the end covering the seismic shifts in the NFL's business since the original episode's release. Much has happened in those three years: Taylor Swift entered the league (via merger

How a Bouncy Toy Created the "Super Bowl"At the end of every NFL season, the world stops for a spectacle known as the Super Bowl. It's a name so ingrained in our culture that it feels like it has existed forever. But in 1966, the term "Super Bowl" wasn't just unofficial—it was actually hated by the NFL Commissioner.A Collision of Two LeaguesIn the late 1950s and early 1960s, the NFL had a problem. A new rival, the American Football League (AFL), had emerged. Founded by Lamar Hunt, the AFL was comprised of wealthy enthusiasts who were tired of being denied NFL franchises.By 1966, after a decade of bidding wars and a newfound influx of television revenue, the two leagues finally agreed to a merger. Part of that agreement included a "World Championship Game" between the top team of each league. The only problem? No one knew what to call it."The Big One" and Other FailuresIn July 1966, six months before the first championship was played, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle held meetings to brainstorm a title. Rozelle's suggestions were, to put it mildly, lackluster. He proposed "The Big One" and even "The World Series of Football" (the latter of which was technically a recycled name from a 1902 tournament).The owners weren't impressed. They eventually settled on the clunky, formal title: The AFL-NFL World Championship Game. It was a mouthful that lacked any marketing "bounce."The Wham-O ConnectionThe solution didn't come from a boardroom—it came from a living room. Lamar Hunt noticed his children, including Lamar Hunt Jr., playing with a new toy from the Wham-O company. It was a high-bouncing pink ball made of Zectron, famously known as the Super Ball.As Hunt watched the ball fly higher than his kids could throw it, the name stuck in his head. He thought of the famous college "Bowls"—the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl—and combined the concepts. He brought the name "Super Bowl" to the July meetings.Rozelle initially shot it down, thinking it lacked dignity. However, the media caught wind of the name. Even though the official tickets for that first game on January 15, 1967, between the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs didn't use the term, newspapers were already calling it the "Super Bowl" the day before the kickoff.From Toy to National HolidayThe name proved too catchy to ignore. By Super Bowl III—the legendary game where Joe Namath and the Jets proved the AFL could actually win—the name was officially adopted.Today, sixty years later, we no longer think of a small pink toy when we hear the name. We think of legends, dynasties, and a game that has become an unofficial national holiday. All thanks to a little bit of "bounce" and a father watching his kids play.For more deep dives into the legends and lore of the gridiron, visit us at PigskinDispatch.com—your portal to positive football history.Join us at the Pigskin Dispatch website to see even more Positive football news!Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the Pigskin Dispatch YouTube channel for additional content and the regular Football History Minute Shorts.Miss our football by the day of the year podcasts, well don't, because they can still be found at the Pigskin Dispatch website.

The 1975 Dallas Cowboys were a good organization led by General Manger Tex Schramm, Head Coach Tom Landry, and Quarterback Roger Staubach. But they were about to become a part of the sports world that 50 years later, love 'em or hate 'em, has stood the test of time. After beating the Minnesota Vikings in a playoff game on the original Hail Mary pass from Staubach to Drew Pearson, they were now America's Team.  They were original, and they were innovative but mostly, they were just good. Lining up in shotgun, Roger the Dodger had his choice of weapons, and more often than not on 3rd downs, he would throw to #26 out of the backfield, Preston Pearson. The "other" Pearson, Preston had a big game against the Vikings. In fact, the man who never played college football, had a habit of having big games when they mattered most, and being on the field when the games were being decided. So despite the fact that it was Drew Pearson who caught the winning prayer vs the Vikes, it was Preston who was on the cover of the first issue of Sports Illustrated in 1976. The 14-year NFL veteran showed off his hops on that cover and said he had a pretty good game in that playoff win for the Cowboys. A week later, he had 3 touchdowns against the Rams that propelled the Boys to the Super Bowl. Preston takes us inside the huddle and tells us what it was like on that final winning drive for Dallas that included a 4th and 17 before Staubach and Drew Pearson hooked up again for that miraculous finish. He says despite being on the Steelers when they beat the Raiders on the 'Immaculate Reception', that this play is the biggest of his career. He remembers what it was like to lose Super Bowl III to Joe Namath and the Jets when he was on the Colts.  The original 3rd down back, Preston Pearson made the most out of his talent and became an integral part of those great Dallas teams and he joins us on the Past Our Prime podcast to tell us what it was like when Dallas turned from the Cowboys into America's Team.

Throughout his career, he obtained countless concussions and traumatic head injuries due to the nature of the sport. In his thirties, Person says he started to experience extremely concerning symptoms, such as severe brain fog, confusion and disorientation, memory problems, depression, light sound and smell sensitivities, and other "dementia-like" symptoms. In his efforts to learn more about what was happening, he came across a New York Times article describing his symptoms exactly, and connecting it to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in athletes, but particularly bobsledders. From then on, William learned more about his condition and found Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) through Joe Namath, a former NFL player with the same condition. He says that this therapy was able to restore his ability to think clearly, to complete daily tasks, and gave restored a sense of purpose to his life. Now, William is on a mission to raise awareness of brain damage in sports, the military, and other lifetime collisions, and share the importance of protecting and healing the brain. He's currently working on opening a nonprofit CTE Recovery Center to help athletes, veterans, and civilians heal from brain injuries for free. Every donation to William's GoFundMe goes directly to supporting free treatment therapy for affected individuals whose insurance doesn't cover it. Today, William joins our host, Dr. Karp, and student producer, Kaya Basatemur, in a deep conversation about CTE; Why do people get CTE? How does it affect their lives? How can this lifelong detrimental condition be treated? Listen in to this week's episode of Health 411 to find out the answers to these questions and more!William Person on social medias: @onemanwithachamberGoFundMe: https://gofund.me/93ff9c6e Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/one.man.with.a.chamber.hbot?mibextid=wwXIfr&mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://www.facebook.com/william.person.792233LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-person-4072b417/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/willp1234567?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qrYouTube:https://youtube.com/@braininjurysurvival?si=KfTK-iFXlhLORgQCTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@hyperbarichealing?_t=ZT-8zD0dNeEvPi&_r=1_

Where does localism end and insanity begin? Particularly in the Canary Islands, where a crazed, scooter-riding, rock-wielding man just went full Joe Namath on a visiting surfer. Buck and Mikey break this down along with an exclusive Kolohe Andino interview, Nate Florence's Austrian torture chamber, Mikey Feb's broken board theory, the world's best artificial wave and some exciting news from Hawaii.

On this week's Keepin It Real, Cam discussion rebellion in children and how it's recently hit his home. ----- All children rebel against their family and their parents. I certainly did. I see photos of myself as a teen with hair touching my collar and remember my father telling me over and over again to get it cut. I didn't and maybe I didn't because it bothered him so much. I knew my kids would rebel, too. It was inevitable. And much of it's been the same over time – hair styles, vocabulary, music, and clothing. These are the signs of rebellion. They have been for a long long while. My hope was that my kids wouldn't show up at home with some tattoo they got out of rebellion that, once they were older, they'd regret. Wait till you're older, I'd say, when you're more aware of consequences and can make these decisions smartly. My daughters wanted multiple ear piercings. No, I'd say. Adding extra holes to your body are decisions to made in later days. Not now, as a teen, when impulsiveness runs dangerously high. If that's what you want to do some day, great. But not now. Wait. Please. We've always been Alabama football fans in my house. My mother went to school there. She loved it. She told stories about her sorority days and the night she stood up Joe Namath because she saw him from behind as she was coming down the stairs of her sorority house and his hair touched his collar. She went back to her room and called downstairs sick. My father went to dental school at the University of Alabama School of Dentistry which was in Birmingham and eventually became UAB. As kids, we considered it Alabama though not in Tuscaloosa. So our mom and dad went to Alabama in our eyes. I was a fan as a kid and it passed to my kids. My favorite oldest son goes to school there and my favorite youngest son will begin there in the fall. They wore Alabama jerseys as children watching the football games in the den in the fall. Auburn has been the butt of jokes for a long time around my house only because it's our rival and that's the way you talk about rivals. I can remember saying that my kids are welcome to go to Auburn but once they do, they can never come home again. It sometimes got a laugh. Well, last night, my favorite youngest daughter announced she has committed to attend Auburn University in the fall. And I was elated. I truly was. She's found a place that she likes and, based on her friends there, a place that likes her. She's smart and they like smart people at Auburn. She's creative and ambitious, and they like those people at Auburn, too. Gone is my bravado about never sending a child to that cow college on the plains and her never being allowed to come home again. She's breaking a mold, breaking a tradition, carving her own path. And if this is her rebellion against her family, I'm grateful for it. It's not bad, not bad at all. In fact, I'm quite proud of her. I'm Cam Marston and I'm just trying to Keep It Real.

The New York Jets — a franchise defined by heartbreak, false hope, and an endless cycle of rebuilding. From the glory days of Joe Namath's Super Bowl III guarantee to decades of draft busts, quarterback controversies, and “next year” promises, the Jets have become the poster child for unfulfilled potential. In this episode of Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast, Kenny takes a deep dive into the Jets' never-ending rebuild. What went wrong over the years? Why can't this team seem to escape mediocrity? And is there finally light at the end of the tunnel for Gang Green fans? Get ready for a raw, honest, and passionate breakdown of one of the NFL's most frustrating franchises.

We started with the local baseball teams and who they will likely play when the playoffs come (assuming the Mets make it). We also talked about the Bills winning again last night, with Boomer noting they have not had a turnover in 8 straight games. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with the Yankees beating the Orioles 7-0, and they did it without a HR. Jonah Tong struck out 8 as the Mets beat the Padres. Clayton Kershaw announced he is retiring after this season. We heard Suzyn & Dave Sims arguing about saves in Pittsburgh vs saves in NY. Tua threw a pick on the Bills 21 yard line as the Dolphins lost to the Bills. We heard from Mike McDaniel after the game. Quinnen Williams said the players made a pact to not be as bad as they were against the Bills. Carson Wentz is ready to go for the Vikings as they take on the Bengals. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about some of the NFL matchups this weekend. We talked about the 40 starting Jets quarterbacks since Joe Namath left.

In the final segment of the hour, we talked about some of the NFL matchups this weekend. We talked about the 40 starting Jets quarterbacks since Joe Namath left. Hour 2 The Buccaneers will be in their creamsicle uniforms on Sunday when they play the Jets. Is this going to be a Todd Bowles revenge spot? Aaron Glenn has been using a lot of corny cliches like ‘big ships turn slow' and ‘it's not instant coffee'. Boomer said you have to be lucky enough to have a great QB to be successful in the NFL. Anthony in Belleville called in and talked about his Chargers and Gio's old mullet. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Bills beating the Dolphins. Tua threw a pick late in the game on the Bills 21 yard line. Tyreek Hill talked about being 0-3. The Yankees shutout the Orioles 7-0 without hitting a HR. Jonah Tong struck out 8 as the Mets beat the Padres and Pete Alonso had another HR. Clayton Kershaw announced that this will be his last season. In the final segment of the hour, Gio said everyone seems to be turning on the Eagles. Al Michaels seemingly took a shot at them on the broadcast last night. The NFL told officials to watch the Tush Push because they have been offside in the past. Gio's wife asked for a Super Bowl prediction and he said Eagles/Ravens. Boomer thinks the Packers are the team to beat in the NFC and the Ravens in the AFC. Hour 3 Patrick Mahomes said being 0-2 is a great opportunity to show people on Sunday night football what the Chiefs are really made of. Mahomes has lost 3 games in a row for the first time in his career. Gio said it seems impossible that they would lose to the Giants and go 0-3 to start the season. We still don't know for sure if Andrew Thomas is playing. Gio is not expecting the same Giants offense we saw in Dallas. Boomer said the Chiefs offense is not that great, but Gio cautioned it's still Patrick Mahomes. Gio is wearing a Dua Lipa hoodie he got yesterday. Who has more commercials, the Manning brothers or the Kelce brothers? Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Tua interception that was costly as the Bills beat the Dolphins. Mike McDaniel spoke after the game and sounded like a doofus. Russell Wilson loves playing at MetLife because he won a Super Bowl there. Eli Manning was on Peter Schraegger's podcast and talked about helping Jaxson Dart, who took it too literally. The Yankees beat the Orioles 7-0 without hitting a HR. Chris Russo asks Ian Eagle about travel while doing all these games and Mike Francesa eulogizes Robert Redford. In the final segment of the hour, Gio got a box in the mail to ‘open on air on football Friday'. It's a Vikings male cheerleader bobblehead. Hour 4 We started with a preview of Jets/Bucs and took a call from a guy driving down there. Gio told him not to sit near the cannons as they will be going off all game. A caller went to the wrong airport as he confused Charlotte and Charleston. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the Yankees beating the Orioles 7-0 without hitting a HR. Jonah Tong had a great start for the Mets as they beat the Padres. Clayto ...

Hour 1 Boomer is out today so it's Gio & Jerry. Gio is going to see Dua Lipa at MSG tonight and now his wife might be bailing on it because she has a cold. The Mets set an MLB record for number of different pitchers used in one season: 46. That number will tell you how bad the pitching has been. With Tyrod Taylor starting this week, he is the 40th to start a game for the Jets since Joe Namath. C-Lo is here for his first update but first we tried to name as many Jets starting QBs as we could. C-Lo has the sounds of the Yankees beating the Twins as Trent Grisham hit 2 more home runs. The Mets lost to the Padres as Machado hit a grand slam. Aaron Glenn talked about Tyrod Taylor starting this week. He also said, ‘big ships turn slow' and they're going to ‘chop wood'. In the final segment of the hour, our match at Pebble Beach with Skratch Golf has been posted to social media and YouTube. Hour 2 Joe Benigno calls in as we want to see if he can name the 40 Jets starting quarterbacks since Joe Namath. He did not get all 40. I think he got 23. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the Twins thanks to two Trent Grisham home runs. Juan Soto missed a game tying home run by inches as it went foul in the Mets' loss to the Padres. Manny Machado hit a grand slam. Dave Sims and Suzyn Waldman got into a disagreement about saves in NY vs saves in Pittsburgh. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely. Hour 3 Andrew Thomas is trending toward playing for the Giants this weekend against the Chiefs. The Giants defense has to do much better than they did against the Cowboys. After the Chiefs, they have the Chargers, so they could be looking at 0-4. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the Twins as Trent Grisham hits 2 home runs. Manny Machado hit a grand slam as the Padres beat the Mets. Aaron Glenn talked about Tyrod Taylor getting the start for the Jets this weekend against the Bucs. In the final segment of the hour, Gio is going to see Dua Lipa at MSG tonight, and his wife may be too sick to go. We talked about how great Afrin is. Hour 4 We talked about announcers and whether you watch a game or turn a game off because of who the announcer is. Gio also asked Jerry if he cares who wins the MVP, in regards to Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh. It seems like the award is more Player of The Year and not MVP. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the Twins and the Padres beating the Mets. A number of coaches have commented, and don't seem worried, with Tom Brady's relationship with the Raiders. Aaron Glenn said ‘big ships turn slow' and they are ‘chopping wood' to get the defense improved. He also said Tyrod Taylor is not a ‘celebrity quarterback' and is just ‘one of the guys'. Baker Mayfield also talked about working with Taylor on the Browns. Gio thinks Baker is already penciled in for the NFC offensive player of the week. Kyler Murray apologized for wearing a Michael Vick jersey while posing with his dog. The Moment of The Day: Suzyn Waldman & Dave Sims battle on saves in Pittsburgh vs saves in NY. In the final segment of the show, a Bucs fan said that Tyrod Taylor has been a ‘Buccaneers Killer' every time he faced them. We did some research. He's 2-0 against them and last played them 8 years ago, so let's relax. We talked about kids laughing at ‘6-7' and tried to figure out why. A guy named Brady Cook will back up Tyrod Taylor on Sunday for the Jets.

Joe Benigno calls in as we want to see if he can name the 40 Jets starting quarterbacks since Joe Namath. He did not get all 40. I think he got 23. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Yankees beating the Twins thanks to two Trent Grisham home runs. Juan Soto missed a game tying home run by inches as it went foul in the Mets' loss to the Padres. Manny Machado hit a grand slam. Dave Sims and Suzyn Waldman got into a disagreement about saves in NY vs saves in Pittsburgh. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely.

Joe Benigno calls in as we want to see if he can name the 40 Jets starting quarterbacks since Joe Namath.

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley kick off the third hour with Mark Schlereth with some silver linings from the loss in Indy. They share some stories from card shows, including Stoke’s Yogi Berra story and Stink playing second fiddle to Joe Namath. Stink tells us all about how he doesn’t dress himself before Bo tells us what he saw from the Chargers’ defense on tape. The guys finish the third hour ranting about Urban Meyer’s non-issue with Jim Harbaugh.  

Rich reveals his updated NFL Power Rankings that features a definite West Coast bias heading into Week 1. Comedian Bill Burr joins Rich in-studio where grudgingly weighs in on Bill Belichick's ugly debut as UNC's head coach that draws comparisons to Joe Namath's late-career stint with the Rams, weighs in on some important sports fandom etiquette questions, and much more. Rich receives some advice on Portuguese phrases ahead of calling Friday's Chiefs-Chargers game in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
