Super Bowl Stories
Super Bowl 44's Radio Row was fast-paced today. The big names were working the room. Our people were talking to their people. Most of the time Buck & Kincade Show Executive Producer Jason Cofar could work something out. Let them sell something and we get to hang for a few mintues.
Joe Montana & Dwight Clark talked about "The Catch" in January of '82, which beat the Cowboys in the NFL Title Game. It was a Bill Walsh designed play that had Clark as a secondary option late, in the back of the end zone. Joe was supposed to throw it high, where only Dwight could get it. Joe also said his son seriously considered Georgia, but Murray & Mettenberger already on campus redshirting made him shift his focus to Washington. Clark also tells the story about how Bill Walsh discovered him at Clemson. Coach Walsh worked out QB Steve Fuller and left impressed with Dwight.
Stafford and Moreno look happy. Both worked the room today. Knowshon was selling the new Reebok training shoe. Matt was pushing Axe shampoo. The "Georgia Man" should be proud of these two guys. They respresent. Polished and confident. Genuine, with some deep pockets, without flaunting it. These two careers got off to an impressive start as rookies. I'll admit it, they made smart decisions to leave Georgia early, But they both loved their days at Georgia. Stafford must have been on 50 stations and was selling Axe shampoo from 9:00-to-6:00. Must have been a sweet deal.
Nick Faldo was a surprise guest. Loved this one. Nick became interested in the game, after watching Jack play in the 1971 Masters. Signed up for his first lessons the next day. And the rest is history. He was selling clean water. Nick believes the tour players should agree to not play those old wedges. And he says Tiger coming back for the WGC Match-play event would be smart... all the cameras and attention might make his opponent mess up.
Got to ask Tony Dorsett if he thought Ed "Too Tall" Jones was....too tall? Archie Manning is cheering for the Colts, but wouldn't feel bad if the Saints won. Eddie George is passionate about College Football. He said Joe Paterno wanted to make him a FB, so Ohio State looked a lot better. Shaun Alexander was beeming over Alabama winning the title and Ingram taking the Heisman. He's taken Ingram under his wing, knowing his Father is away in prison. Falcons LB Curtis Lofton looked like he wanted to tackle Kincade. Roger Daltrey of The Who is looking old. Kerri Underwood is flashing a huge diamond. Jamie Dukes might be the coolest dude here. Tony Dorsett won the Heisman, beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, went to Dallas in a draft day trade, and won the Super Bowl with the Cowboys in year one...back in New Orleans. Cool cat. He was Chris Johnson, way before Chris Johnson showed up. Jim Mora, Jr. sure texts a lot. The food is lousy on radio row, but the hot coffee always flows. Marshall Faulk loves him some Kurt Warner, like we all should.
Wonder what tomorrow will bring?
Can't avoid the Super Bowl merchandise tents. Got a Super Bowl ball signed by all of our guests today. Had to keep track of who signed...can't make out some of the autographs.
