<v Speaker 1>know right up front, I've got a couple of things

<v Speaker 1>I've got to attend you, don't worry about that. This week,

<v Speaker 1>I'm the Dose. I have compiled a few Daily Dose

<v Speaker 1>top fives from past episodes. I'm telling you right now,

<v Speaker 1>we are going way back into the Daily Dose archives.

<v Speaker 1>We are going back to the earliest days of the podcast.

<v Speaker 1>But these Daily Dose top fives are from past episodes

<v Speaker 1>and they are heavily NFL well flavored. We will look

<v Speaker 1>back at some top fives from the very earliest days,

<v Speaker 1>and we're going to specifically be looking at some NFL

<v Speaker 1>quarterback top fives. So hey, sit back, relax and enjoy

<v Speaker 1>some of the best of the Daily Dose Sports podcast. Now,

<v Speaker 1>as we do every single week, we have got to

<v Speaker 1>get to our Daily Dose top five. You know, when

<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl fifty kicks off, thirty nine year old Peyton

<v Speaker 1>Manning will be the oldest quarterback to ever start a

<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. Here's a fun drinking game that you can

<v Speaker 1>play at home. Drink. It might be drinking you know whatever,

<v Speaker 1>kool aid. I'm not what I'm saying. I'm not like

<v Speaker 1>trying to advocate, you know, underage drinker. I'm just saying,

<v Speaker 1>here's a drinking game if you are an adult that

<v Speaker 1>you could play along with, a fun little Super Bowl

<v Speaker 1>game that you can play. When they mentioned Peyton Manning

<v Speaker 1>every time they mention him, every time they say his name,

<v Speaker 1>do they say his age with it? The thirty nine

<v Speaker 1>year old, the thirty nine year old Peyton Manning, Peyton

<v Speaker 1>Manning for thirty nine years. Every time they say that

<v Speaker 1>you gotta take a drink, I'm telling you right now,

<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be drunk by like, I don't know the

<v Speaker 1>national anthem, because hey, that's the biggest thing going into this.

<v Speaker 1>Peyton Manning is thirty nine years old. You're gonna hear

<v Speaker 1>about it again and again and again and again. So

<v Speaker 1>I started thinking about who are the oldest quarterbacks that

<v Speaker 1>have ever played in this game? Because Peyton Manning is

<v Speaker 1>going to set the record for the oldest starting quarterback

<v Speaker 1>in a Super Bowl. Right now, we are going to

<v Speaker 1>count down up to this point the daily dose top

<v Speaker 1>five oldest quarterbacks to start a Super Bowl. Now keep

<v Speaker 1>this in mind, not good quarterbacks. I'm not rating them.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying the winning quarterbacks. I'm just saying they're old.

<v Speaker 1>These are the oldest guys to ever start and ever play,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm not doing any repeat. So if one guy's

<v Speaker 1>on here twice, I'm only putting them on here once.

<v Speaker 1>The top five oldest quarterback to ever started a Super

<v Speaker 1>Bowl number five in two thousand and three, a Super

<v Speaker 1>Bowl thirty eight, Thirty seven year old Rich Gannon led

<v Speaker 1>the Oakland Raiders to an eleven to five record. He

<v Speaker 1>threw twenty six touchdowns during that season. It was the

<v Speaker 1>last time the Raiders were, you know, relevant. The problem

<v Speaker 1>was for rich Gannon in that Super Bowl he faced

<v Speaker 1>a really really good Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>you think about that defense. They had Warren Sap, they

<v Speaker 1>had Derek Brooks, they had John Lynch in the game.

<v Speaker 1>It didn't go well for Gannon. They forced five interceptions

<v Speaker 1>from Rich Gannon and a fumble. Three of his interceptions

<v Speaker 1>were returned for touchdowns. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers blew the

<v Speaker 1>Raiders out forty eight to twenty one. Didn't go well

<v Speaker 1>for the old guy there number four on our list

<v Speaker 1>back in two thousand and eight. Somehow, in Super Bowl

<v Speaker 1>forty three, thirty seven year old Kurt Warner did the impossible.

<v Speaker 1>He led the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl. Think

<v Speaker 1>about that for a second. He led the Arizona Cardinals

<v Speaker 1>to the big Game. It's just crazy to think about.

<v Speaker 1>They faced the Pittsburgh Steelers in what was a really,

<v Speaker 1>really good game, and you know what, Kurt Warner was

<v Speaker 1>pretty good. He had one interception, but he was thirty

<v Speaker 1>one of forty three for three hundred and seventy seven

<v Speaker 1>yards and three touchdowns. When you think about that game,

<v Speaker 1>Kurt Warner actually led the drive to give the Cardinals

<v Speaker 1>the lead with just over two minutes left in the game.

<v Speaker 1>The only problem was they left a little bit too

<v Speaker 1>much time for Ben Roethlisberger. They went back down the field,

<v Speaker 1>Ben Roethlisberger takes the Steelers offense seventy eight yards for

<v Speaker 1>the winning score. Steelers win twenty seven twenty three. You know, hey,

<v Speaker 1>Kurt Warner, I think he's a very, very underrated quarterback.

<v Speaker 1>I've told you that before. I think that's a guy

<v Speaker 1>who just understood how to play the position, understood the

<v Speaker 1>throws he needed to make, the reads he needed to make.

<v Speaker 1>Kurt Warner was really, really good. One of the oldest

<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks to ever play. Number three on our list. Gotta

<v Speaker 1>go back a little ways. Super Bowl five, nineteen seventy.

<v Speaker 1>You know, Johnny Unidas was also thirty seven when he

<v Speaker 1>led the Colts into Super Bowl five against Dallas. The

<v Speaker 1>Colts had gone eleven to two and one that season.

<v Speaker 1>But I'm telling you right now, if you're ever looking

<v Speaker 1>up Super Bowls or maybe you're watching you know, around

<v Speaker 1>this time of year, they start showing some of the

<v Speaker 1>great highlights in America's game and all this kind of stuff,

<v Speaker 1>and they start Super Bowl five, feel free to skip

<v Speaker 1>super Bowl five. Super Bowl five was a horrible super

<v Speaker 1>Bowl full of blunders. You want some evidence, twelve count them,

<v Speaker 1>twelve turnovers in this horrible game. It was just an

<v Speaker 1>awful game. Both teams. I don't know if it was.

<v Speaker 1>They were tight. Neither team could really get into a rhythm.

<v Speaker 1>Johnny and Nitas ends up getting knocked out of this

<v Speaker 1>game and was replaced he had a rib injury. Was

<v Speaker 1>replaced by Earl Morrile, who came in and actually generated

<v Speaker 1>ten fourth quarter points to get the Colts to win.

<v Speaker 1>The Colts won sixteen to thirteen on a field goal.

<v Speaker 1>Here's another weird part to Super Bowl five. The MVP

<v Speaker 1>linebacker Chuck Howley for the Dallas Cowboys. It wasn't the Colts.

<v Speaker 1>It's the only time in Super Bowl history that the

<v Speaker 1>winning team didn't also have the MVP on their team.

<v Speaker 1>They gave it to Howley on the other side of

<v Speaker 1>the field, even though he had lost. Super Bowl five

<v Speaker 1>was a weird game. Johnny Unitis our number three entry

<v Speaker 1>on our list, number two on our list of oldest

<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks to ever start a Super Bowl. We only got

<v Speaker 1>to go back what two years twenty thirteen, Super Bowl

<v Speaker 1>forty eight. Peyton Manning was also thirty seven years old,

<v Speaker 1>And you know Peyton Manning. People forget it was just

<v Speaker 1>two years ago. Peyton Manning put up the most prolific

<v Speaker 1>season in NFL history. Think about this, five four hundred

<v Speaker 1>and seventy seven yards, fifty five touchdowns, The Denver Broncos

<v Speaker 1>scored six hundred and six points. They averaged thirty eight

<v Speaker 1>points a game. You look at the game Manning obviously

<v Speaker 1>faces the Seattle Seahawks. His numbers don't look horrible, thirty

<v Speaker 1>four or forty nine for two hundred and eighty yards,

<v Speaker 1>one touchdown, But he had two interceptions and he had

<v Speaker 1>a fumble, and Denver got blown out forty three to

<v Speaker 1>eight by Seattle. I think that the thing that always

<v Speaker 1>registers in everyone's mind in that game was that initial

<v Speaker 1>snap got by him, went out the back of the

<v Speaker 1>end zone. They had the safety right from the beginning,

<v Speaker 1>and you just felt like the air went out of

<v Speaker 1>that Denver team. But Peyton Manning thirty seven and was

<v Speaker 1>closing in on thirty eight when that game was played.

<v Speaker 1>Our number one entry on the Daily Dose top five

<v Speaker 1>oldest quarterbacks to ever start as Super Bowl. This guy

<v Speaker 1>was thirty eight. Remember Peyton Manning is now thirty nine.

<v Speaker 1>He's going to be starting next Sunday in Super Bowl fifty.

<v Speaker 1>But in Super Bowl thirty three in nineteen ninety eight,

<v Speaker 1>it was his boss, John Elway. John Elway, you know

<v Speaker 1>he actually sat out four full games in that ninety

<v Speaker 1>eight season. You remember they won it all in ninety seven.

<v Speaker 1>That following season when he came back, he actually sat

<v Speaker 1>out four full games. Had a few different injuries. Had

<v Speaker 1>a hamstring injury, had like an ankle injury, a shoulder injury,

<v Speaker 1>just a few nagging little injuries that he had throughout

<v Speaker 1>the year. The Broncos went fourteen and two. Bubby Brister

<v Speaker 1>came in as a backup and was four to zero

<v Speaker 1>in relief of Lway. But once the playoffs started, Elway

<v Speaker 1>was back. The running game was going. The defense was okay,

<v Speaker 1>but the running game was really, really, really good. The

<v Speaker 1>Broncos beat the Dolphins, the Jets, and the Falcons in

<v Speaker 1>the postseason by a combined score of ninety five to

<v Speaker 1>thirty two. They blew out everybody. No one even kept

<v Speaker 1>them within single digits in the Super Bowl, Super Bowl

<v Speaker 1>thirty eight, Super Bowl thirty three, I'm sorry, the Broncos

<v Speaker 1>blow out the Atlanta Falcons thirty forty nineteen. Elway named

<v Speaker 1>the most Valuable Player when eighteen to twenty nine, three

<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirty six yards had a touchdown passing and

<v Speaker 1>had a touchdown rushing name the MVP. So the oldest guy,

<v Speaker 1>the oldest guy to ever start a Super Bowl, won

<v Speaker 1>it and was named the MVP. Something to keep in

<v Speaker 1>mind as we get ready for Super Bowl fifty and

<v Speaker 1>Peyton Manny going in there and he will take the

<v Speaker 1>crown of oldest starting quarterback to ever start at Super Bowl.

<v Speaker 1>As we do every single week, we need to get

<v Speaker 1>to our daily dose top five. You know, I was

<v Speaker 1>thinking about the top five and looking at Cam Newton

<v Speaker 1>and some of the things that he brings to the table,

<v Speaker 1>some of the things that he can do, the way

<v Speaker 1>that he runs an offense, the way that he's involved

<v Speaker 1>in the rushing game as well as the passing game,

<v Speaker 1>the snap that he has on his passes. I think

<v Speaker 1>there's going to be at least there's a possibility for

<v Speaker 1>there's a chance that Cam Newton could be one of

<v Speaker 1>those guys that kids are looking up to in another

<v Speaker 1>ten years. They're saying, I kind of pattern my game

<v Speaker 1>after the way that Cam Newton did. Now it's early

<v Speaker 1>to say that, I'll be honest, it's early to say that,

<v Speaker 1>because let's be real, it was just like three or

<v Speaker 1>four years ago, we were saying the same thing about

<v Speaker 1>Colin Kaepernick. So I'm a little hesitant to Cam Newton

<v Speaker 1>in there, but he's just one of those guys that

<v Speaker 1>he could create a generation of players following him that

<v Speaker 1>kind of tried to do things the way he did.

<v Speaker 1>So today, for our Daily Dose Top five, we are

<v Speaker 1>going to list five quarterbacks that changed the game for

<v Speaker 1>future generations Top five right here. Number five on our

<v Speaker 1>list has to be Fran Tarkington. Friend. Tarkington known as

<v Speaker 1>the Scrambler. You know, there had been runners before, and

<v Speaker 1>this is back in the sixties and seventies. There had

<v Speaker 1>been runners. We had seen guys like you know, like

<v Speaker 1>Bobby Douglas that just ran the ball. He was kind

<v Speaker 1>of Tebow before Tebow. He just ran the ball and

<v Speaker 1>ran the ball and ran the ball. Wasn't a very

<v Speaker 1>good thrower. Fran Tarkington changed the game when he played

<v Speaker 1>for Minnesota in the sixties and seventies. It wasn't that

<v Speaker 1>he was a runner. He was a scrambler, and he

<v Speaker 1>bought time with his legs so that he could still

<v Speaker 1>attack you with his arm. He kept plays alive. He

<v Speaker 1>took the Vikings to four Super Bowls, went to nine

<v Speaker 1>Pro Bowls. But when you see guys like Russell Wilson,

<v Speaker 1>like Aaron Rodgers, like Cam Newton, like Steve Young that

<v Speaker 1>bought time with their legs, but not as runners, just

<v Speaker 1>so that they could get some extra time so they

<v Speaker 1>could still use their arm to hurt you down the field.

<v Speaker 1>They're going back to a guy named fran Tarkington. He

<v Speaker 1>absolutely changed the game. Number four on our list of

<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks that changed the game for future generations gotta be

<v Speaker 1>Joe Namath, Broadway. Joe, understand this when we're going back

<v Speaker 1>to these kind of days. There was a time no

<v Speaker 1>one thought pro football would work. College football was king,

<v Speaker 1>nobody thought the pro game was going to be, you know,

<v Speaker 1>anything popular, and it certainly wasn't going to be what

<v Speaker 1>it is today. But when Joe Namath came along in

<v Speaker 1>the AFL with the New York Jets, he came along

<v Speaker 1>and he totally changed the way we looked at football players.

<v Speaker 1>He was throwing the ball over, he was brash, he

<v Speaker 1>was a little bit cock sound familiar, kind of sounds

<v Speaker 1>like you know Kenyan. He had the ads, he was

<v Speaker 1>doing TV ads, he was he was hanging out in

<v Speaker 1>the social scene. He was being seen in New York.

<v Speaker 1>That's why he was being called Broadway Joe. Every quarterback

<v Speaker 1>coming sense them that has these big contracts that we

<v Speaker 1>look at and we think, oh, I don't know if

<v Speaker 1>he's a cool guy. Oh he's the quarterback of the team.

<v Speaker 1>Oh well, then he's a cool guy. That is all

<v Speaker 1>going back to Joe Namath. Joe Namath wore the white

<v Speaker 1>shoes and everybody copied him. Joe Namath had the crazy

<v Speaker 1>hairdoos and everybody copied him. Joe Namath was wearing the

<v Speaker 1>fur coats and and he just made being quarterback cool.

<v Speaker 1>When you look at some of these guys, now, they're

<v Speaker 1>not cool. When you look at Andrew Luck, I've got

<v Speaker 1>news for you. If he's if he's not playing quarterback,

<v Speaker 1>he's just big andy. He's not anything cool. He's cool

<v Speaker 1>because of Joe Namath. When you look at Russell Wilson,

<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson is a geek, but he's cool because of

<v Speaker 1>Joe Namath and what we think of asquarterbacks. Joe Navi's

<v Speaker 1>gotta be on the list, number three on our list.

<v Speaker 1>You know, when you see and we see it in

<v Speaker 1>the college game, we also see it in the pro game.

<v Speaker 1>You see these quarterbacks go up to the line and

<v Speaker 1>they're looking at the defense and they're reading the defense

<v Speaker 1>and they're seeing where the linebackers are, they're seeing where

<v Speaker 1>the safeties are, they're seeing what coverages they're getting. And

<v Speaker 1>then once they recognize what the defense is in, then

<v Speaker 1>they call the play that they want. They get the

<v Speaker 1>play that they want, and they snap it. You see

<v Speaker 1>Peyton Manning do this. You see Tom Brady do this.

<v Speaker 1>You see Eli Manning do this. You're seeing this more

<v Speaker 1>and more and more. This all goes back to the

<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills Jim Kelly. Because Jim Kelly, i mean was

<v Speaker 1>running the no huddle offense, walking up to the line,

<v Speaker 1>reading what the defense was giving him, and then making

<v Speaker 1>his calls. He went to four Super Bowls basically calling

<v Speaker 1>all his own plays. I mean, it's pretty incredible when

<v Speaker 1>you think to what Jim Kelly was doing. Yes, they

<v Speaker 1>lost those four Super Bowls, but Jim Kelly took the

<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills to the Super Bowl and he did it

<v Speaker 1>calling his own plays and running a spread offense that

<v Speaker 1>was way before it's time. Now we see spread offense everywhere.

<v Speaker 1>We see at the college game. We see these college

<v Speaker 1>kids go up to the line, they look over to

<v Speaker 1>their coach. Their coach holds up a picture of Mickey Mouse,

<v Speaker 1>and then they go, Okay, call the Mickey Mouse play,

<v Speaker 1>and then they run the play. That's what Jim Kelly

<v Speaker 1>was doing twenty thirty years ago with the Buffalo Bills.

<v Speaker 1>Jim Kelly, without question, changed the way the game was played.

<v Speaker 1>Number two on our list. Number two on our list

<v Speaker 1>has got to be Doug Williams. Doug Williams was not

<v Speaker 1>the first black quarterback. But what Doug Williams did was

<v Speaker 1>he won the biggest game on the biggest stage as

<v Speaker 1>a black quarterback, and he inspired a generation of kids

<v Speaker 1>that for so long had heard, well, you can play football,

<v Speaker 1>but you can't play that position. And the thing about

<v Speaker 1>Doug w. Williams that he did was it wasn't that

<v Speaker 1>he did because there's always there's many times there's this stigma. Well,

<v Speaker 1>they do it because the black quarterback has success because

<v Speaker 1>they're more athletic. The black quarterback has success because he's

<v Speaker 1>just faster than every That wasn't the case with Doug Williams.

<v Speaker 1>He did it with he was a hard worker, he

<v Speaker 1>was a smart guy. He stayed in the pocket, he

<v Speaker 1>outworked everyone else. That wasn't what young kids had seen

<v Speaker 1>up to this point. When you look at guys like

<v Speaker 1>Robert Griffin or Vince Young, or Cam Newton or Donovan

<v Speaker 1>McNabb or Michael Vick or some of these, Russell Wilson,

<v Speaker 1>you know players, they looked at a guy like Doug

<v Speaker 1>Williams and said he can play the position. And it

<v Speaker 1>has nothing to do with athleticism. It has to do

<v Speaker 1>with hard work, It has to do with with dedication,

<v Speaker 1>it has to do with with preparation, and that's what

<v Speaker 1>Doug Williams brought. He wins the Super Bowl. Also, when

<v Speaker 1>you think back to that Super Bowl, you might look

<v Speaker 1>at the Super Bowl that he won, super Bowl twenty

<v Speaker 1>two against the Denver Broncos forty two to ten. It

<v Speaker 1>was a blowout. That's not the games ard. The game

<v Speaker 1>started with the Broncos taking a ten to nothing lead

<v Speaker 1>on the Redskins and Williams getting hurt, leaving the game

<v Speaker 1>with a hyper extended knee, and then coming back and

<v Speaker 1>taking them apart. This wasn't given to him. This wasn't

<v Speaker 1>anything that just he was given because he was just

<v Speaker 1>on this great team. And they just plowed through the Broncos.

<v Speaker 1>Doug Williams took it and changed the game. He's inspired

<v Speaker 1>a whole generation of young quarterbacks to do the same.

<v Speaker 1>Number one on our list of quarterbacks that change the

<v Speaker 1>game for future generation. I don't know if this is close.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think it is. It has got to be

<v Speaker 1>the Baltimore Colts. Johnny Unitis, Johnny and Nis revolutionized the

<v Speaker 1>position of quarterback. I want you to think about this.

<v Speaker 1>Johnny and Nas was one of the first quarterbacks to

<v Speaker 1>ever start throwing timing patterns. When you take a snap

<v Speaker 1>and you take three steps back and you know this

<v Speaker 1>receiver is going to go six yards down and cut

<v Speaker 1>in and I'm gonna throw out whether he's there or not.

<v Speaker 1>That all goes back to Johnny Unitas. Three step drops,

<v Speaker 1>five step drops, seven step drops. Timing patterns that when

<v Speaker 1>I get my back foot back there, I know he's

<v Speaker 1>going to be breaking and I'm gonna throw it to

<v Speaker 1>a spot. I'm not just gonna go back and look

<v Speaker 1>for a guy that's open. It was a past first offense.

<v Speaker 1>He created the hurry up two minute offense. Johnny Unitis

<v Speaker 1>was a four time champion, ten time Pro Bowl. Every

<v Speaker 1>modern quarterback, and I don't care who we're talking about,

<v Speaker 1>going back to the to the seventies, Bradshaw and Stabler

<v Speaker 1>and Stabach, into the eighties with Kelly and Marino and

<v Speaker 1>Elway and all these guys, Montana, Young, you name the quarterback.

<v Speaker 1>They all owe a huge debt to Johnny Unitas he

<v Speaker 1>absolutely modernized the quarterback position. As we do every single week,

<v Speaker 1>we have got to get to our daily top five.

<v Speaker 1>This week, you know, talk a little bit of NFL,

<v Speaker 1>a little bit of NFL news. We talked a little

<v Speaker 1>bit about the Buffalo Bills, talked a little bit about

<v Speaker 1>Rex Ryan and of course the New England Patriots. How

<v Speaker 1>could that possibly play into our daily dose Top five?

<v Speaker 1>Our daily dose Top five today, the top five times

<v Speaker 1>that the NFL has suspended a quarterback. You know, it's

<v Speaker 1>not the first time. We didn't just see this recently.

<v Speaker 1>We have seen a number of times that quarterbacks have

<v Speaker 1>been suspended. Today on the Daily Dose, our daily Dose,

<v Speaker 1>Top five times the NFL suspended a quarterback. Number five

<v Speaker 1>on our list. Gotta be ar Schleister. Do you remember

<v Speaker 1>the Ohio State quarterback He was drafted by the Baltimore

<v Speaker 1>Colts back in nineteen eighty two, fourth overall in that draft.

<v Speaker 1>The problem was that the Colts didn't realize that dude

<v Speaker 1>had been gambling since like high school. Like he was

<v Speaker 1>going to horse races, he was going to dog races.

<v Speaker 1>Anything you could bet on, he was gonna bet on it. Now,

<v Speaker 1>you might remember Schleiester in college and not realizing you

<v Speaker 1>actually might remember that time that Ohio State threw an

<v Speaker 1>interception in the bowl game against Clemson and Charlie Bauman.

<v Speaker 1>A kid intercepted and then he ran into the sideline

<v Speaker 1>and head coach for Ohio State, Woody Hayes, helped him

<v Speaker 1>up and then just started pumbling him and hitting him

<v Speaker 1>in the head, went completely lost his mind punching him. Well,

<v Speaker 1>Schleister was the guy that threw that interception. Schleiester had

<v Speaker 1>been gambling all the way through college. In fact, he

<v Speaker 1>had blown his rookie contract. By mid season of his

<v Speaker 1>first year, he had over seven hundred thousand dollars in

<v Speaker 1>gambling debts, and when the NFL found out, they suspended

<v Speaker 1>him immediately because they worried that Art Schleister would be

<v Speaker 1>an easy target for fixing games, so they booted him

<v Speaker 1>out of league for a year, and they said, no, no, no,

<v Speaker 1>we can't have this guy in there because if any

<v Speaker 1>of these loan sharks find out, they're gonna come him,

<v Speaker 1>knowing full well he owes them a ton of money.

<v Speaker 1>And he never quite got back because no one wanted

<v Speaker 1>to touch him. He was poison. After that, he was

<v Speaker 1>hands off. You didn't want to go anywhere near arch

<v Speaker 1>Schleister because you would always run that risk of, you know,

<v Speaker 1>at least at least the accusation that maybe he was

<v Speaker 1>involved in gambling, maybe he was fixing games, maybe he

<v Speaker 1>was shaving points. No one's going near that. And since

<v Speaker 1>he got suspended, he's been in and out of jail

<v Speaker 1>multiple times, illegal gambling, various frauds. He is currently serving

<v Speaker 1>jail in Ohio for a million dollar ticket scam that

<v Speaker 1>he put together. Oh And as part of his parole,

<v Speaker 1>he also tested positive for cocaine ur Schleister got suspended.

<v Speaker 1>Slister got suspended and never did come back. Number four

<v Speaker 1>on our list quarterbacks that got suspended by the NFL

<v Speaker 1>Jeff George. Remember Jeff George when he was down with

<v Speaker 1>the Atlanta Falcons. He got suspended because he got into

<v Speaker 1>a huge argument with his head coach June Jones on

<v Speaker 1>the sideline and everyone saw it on TV. Apparently Jeff

<v Speaker 1>George felt like his head coach, June Jones didn't exactly

<v Speaker 1>have his back. Like the media would go to June

<v Speaker 1>Jones and Junie Jones and kind of, wow, Jeff needs

<v Speaker 1>to play better. Well, Jeff isn't quite doing the job,

<v Speaker 1>and so on the sideline, Jeff George went over and

<v Speaker 1>lit into June Jones. They had a huge argument right

<v Speaker 1>there on TV, and they suspended him for four games

<v Speaker 1>for violation of NFL Personal conduct policy. Yeah, Jeff George

<v Speaker 1>got suspended. Number three on our list. Remember it was

<v Speaker 1>just two thousand and seven. Michael Vick pled guilty to

<v Speaker 1>federal charges for running a dog fighting ring, and they

<v Speaker 1>found out that Michael Vick had fronted most of the

<v Speaker 1>money for an illegal gambling operation that was going on

<v Speaker 1>in conjunction with the dog fighting ring. Vic served eighteen

<v Speaker 1>months in Leavenworth, Kansas. And I'll be honest, I give

<v Speaker 1>Michael Vick a ton of credit. It seemed like he

<v Speaker 1>came back from all of that a change man. Played

<v Speaker 1>another seven seasons in the NFL. But you know, Michael

<v Speaker 1>Vick has done a ton of charity work. He's done

<v Speaker 1>a lot of work with at a Risk youth and

<v Speaker 1>of course vic being from Virginia Tech, he collected a

<v Speaker 1>ton of money for that Virginia Tech masker to try

<v Speaker 1>to help some of those families out that were affected

<v Speaker 1>by it. I give Michael Vick a ton of credit.

<v Speaker 1>But back in two thousand and seven he got suspended

<v Speaker 1>from the NFL, and when it was out of the

<v Speaker 1>league for two years, Michael Vick the other guy that

<v Speaker 1>got suspended number two on our list. You might have

<v Speaker 1>forgotten this one. You might have forgot it. Back in

<v Speaker 1>twenty ten, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberg got suspended for

<v Speaker 1>six games. It was eventually reduced to four. Roger Goodell

<v Speaker 1>suspended him after he was involved in two different cases

<v Speaker 1>in which Ben Roethlisberger was accused of sexual assault. But

<v Speaker 1>here's the thing that kind of stood out to me.

<v Speaker 1>Following the announcement, Steeler's owner Art Rooney stated it was

<v Speaker 1>disappointed that it was six ams and he hoped it

<v Speaker 1>would be reduced it was reduced to four, but that

<v Speaker 1>he completely supported the decision. The NFL has to have

<v Speaker 1>room to rule. They've got to run this the way

<v Speaker 1>that they think that they need to and Ben needs

<v Speaker 1>to sit down. Ben Roethlisberger sat down for four games.

<v Speaker 1>Nobody fought it, nobody argued it. Finally Number one, the

<v Speaker 1>top time the NFL suspended a quarterback. What else could

<v Speaker 1>it be? The New England Patriots Tom Brady got suspended

<v Speaker 1>for his role in the Flate Gate, And no, I

<v Speaker 1>don't want to rehash all of the Flaygate, but it's

<v Speaker 1>not the first time that a quarterback has been suspended.

<v Speaker 1>And Tom Brady is going to return this week. He's

<v Speaker 1>going to come back. He's going to face a very

<v Speaker 1>under maned Cleveland Browns team and he's probably going to

<v Speaker 1>blow up. But the one thing you have to keep

<v Speaker 1>in mind, it wasn't the first time this has happened.

<v Speaker 1>Big name quarterbacks do get suspended, and Tom Brady, whether

<v Speaker 1>you like it or not, was doing something. Maybe it

<v Speaker 1>wasn't anything worth being suspended over. Maybe it wasn't that

<v Speaker 1>big of a thing. He was doing something. He was

<v Speaker 1>doing something. You know what, the all five of these

<v Speaker 1>guys haven't come though. You're not gonna forget it. You're

<v Speaker 1>not gonna forget what they did, like you might take

<v Speaker 1>a little bit of reminding, but you're going to remember it.

<v Speaker 1>And as unfortunate as that is for a player as

<v Speaker 1>great as Tom Brady, because I truly believe he is

<v Speaker 1>a great NFL quarterback, he's always gonna have that stigma

<v Speaker 1>next to his name that he was suspended for doing

<v Speaker 1>something he probably should have been doing, and maybe it's forgotten.

<v Speaker 1>Maybe we look back at it and we said, it's

<v Speaker 1>like Ben Roethlisberg, look at we don't talk about that suspension. Now,

<v Speaker 1>maybe we'll do the same thing with Tom Brady. Of course,

<v Speaker 1>Ben's didn't have anything to do with, you know, bending

<v Speaker 1>the rules on the field. Okay, Now, as we do

<v Speaker 1>every single week, we've got to get to our daily

<v Speaker 1>dose top five, our daily nose top five. This week,

<v Speaker 1>you know, this past Saturday, we saw the Houston Texans

<v Speaker 1>Brock Osweiler square off against the Oakland Raiders Connor Cook.

<v Speaker 1>Not exactly Bradshaw versus Stabler or Brady versus Manny, But

<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if you realize there have been some

<v Speaker 1>awful quarterbacks that have started playoff games. A couple of

<v Speaker 1>them have even won playoff games. We saw Brock Osweiler.

<v Speaker 1>He actually won a playoff game. I don't know how.

<v Speaker 1>I have no idea how he won, but it has

<v Speaker 1>happened before. So right now we will count down our

<v Speaker 1>daily dose top five worst quarterbacks to ever start a

<v Speaker 1>playoff game? Are we ready number five on our list?

<v Speaker 1>The city of Houston has a history of quarterback excellence,

<v Speaker 1>from Dan Pastorini to Warren Moon to Steve McNair to Okay,

<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying is there haven't been that many great

<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks that have played in Houston. But in nineteen ninety

<v Speaker 1>the Oilers qualified for the playoffs. Unfortunately for them, Warren

<v Speaker 1>Moon dislocated his thumb in Week sixteen against the Cincinnati Bengals,

<v Speaker 1>So two weeks later, when they met the Bengals in

<v Speaker 1>the wild Cat Round of the playoffs, backup Cody Carlson

<v Speaker 1>got the start. He actually wasn't horrible. He went sixteen

<v Speaker 1>to thirty three with two touchdowns, but the Oilers got

<v Speaker 1>blown out forty one to fourteen by Boomer Issiasin and

<v Speaker 1>the Bengals. Carlson, in his career, started nineteen games. He

<v Speaker 1>actually went eleven and eight as a starter. For the career,

<v Speaker 1>he threw twenty one touchdowns with twenty eight interceptions. But hey,

<v Speaker 1>he started a playoff game. Something to be said for that,

<v Speaker 1>right maybe all right, number four on our list worst

<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks to start an NFL playoff game, you know, always

<v Speaker 1>a fun game to play with New England Patriot fans.

<v Speaker 1>That are you know, more of the bandwagon persuasion naming

<v Speaker 1>the starting quarterback prior to Tom Brady. Let's be honest,

<v Speaker 1>they have no idea. And if you really want to

<v Speaker 1>separate the real fans, ask them who started the last

<v Speaker 1>playoff game prior to Tom Brady starting in two thousand

<v Speaker 1>and one. No, it wasn't Drew Bledsoe, it wasn't Matt Castle,

<v Speaker 1>It wasn't Hugh Miller, Doug Flutie, Steve Grogan, Tony Eason. No,

<v Speaker 1>it wasn't any of those guys. In nineteen ninety eight

<v Speaker 1>under Pete Carroll, Yes, that Pete Carroll, it was Bled

<v Speaker 1>So that broke a finger on his throwing hand, so

<v Speaker 1>in came backup Scott Zolach. Zolak started seven games in

<v Speaker 1>his career. He was three and four as a starter

<v Speaker 1>and in the playoffs. In nineteen ninety eight, he faced

<v Speaker 1>the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild card game. He completed

<v Speaker 1>just twenty one to forty one passes. He had an interception.

<v Speaker 1>The Jags actually blew out the Patriots twenty five to ten,

<v Speaker 1>and Zolak became the answer to a trivia question, Hold

<v Speaker 1>on to that one. You can use it on your

<v Speaker 1>friends at the bar, number three on our list. I

<v Speaker 1>know it sounds insane, it sounds crazy, but back in

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and two, the Cleveland Browns were in the playoffs. No, seriously,

<v Speaker 1>they were. The Brownies had gone nine and seven. Again

<v Speaker 1>we saw starter get injured though. Quarterback Tim Couch broke

<v Speaker 1>his leg in the final game of the season. And

<v Speaker 1>you know, this guy may not have been a great quarterback.

<v Speaker 1>He started twenty four games. He went eight to sixteen

<v Speaker 1>in those games, throwing thirty nine touchdowns to thirty eight interceptions.

<v Speaker 1>But when Kelly Holcomb faced the Pittsburgh Steelers in the

<v Speaker 1>wildcard game, he actually played pretty well. He went twenty

<v Speaker 1>six to forty three for four hundred and twenty nine yards.

<v Speaker 1>Kelly Holcomb threw three touchdowns. Unfortunately, the Steelers came back

<v Speaker 1>from a twelve point deficit. They won the game thirty

<v Speaker 1>six to thirty three over the Cleveland Browns, and Cleveland

<v Speaker 1>has not been back to the postseason since. Yes, Kelly

<v Speaker 1>Holcomb started a playoff game. Who knew? Kind of forget

<v Speaker 1>these guys, don't you? Number two on our list worst

<v Speaker 1>NFL quarterbacks to start a playoff game. He started seven

<v Speaker 1>games in his career. He threw six touchdowns, he had

<v Speaker 1>eight interceptions. But TJ. Yeats not only started two playoff

<v Speaker 1>games for the Houston Texans, he actually won one. It's

<v Speaker 1>kind of like Brock Kossweiler, he actually won one of them.

<v Speaker 1>Remember Matt schab was the starter for Gary Kubaks Texans

<v Speaker 1>in twenty eleven, but he suffered a foot injury. Then

<v Speaker 1>backup Matt Lioner broke his collarbone. Enter TJ. Yeates. He

<v Speaker 1>actually beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the wild card round.

<v Speaker 1>Granted he didn't do much. The Texans ran the ball

<v Speaker 1>very well, but he won the game. And the next

<v Speaker 1>week against the Baltimore Ravens, Yates crash back to earth.

<v Speaker 1>He threw three interceptions and the Texans got beat by

<v Speaker 1>the Baltimore Ravens. There's your number two quarterback. Worst quarterback

<v Speaker 1>to start a playoff game, So who could be number one?

<v Speaker 1>Who is our number one worst quarterback? He's been number

<v Speaker 1>one on the top five before. Might have been a

<v Speaker 1>different category, but I think he's been number one before,

<v Speaker 1>number one on our list. You know. The Oakland Raiders

<v Speaker 1>selected this troubled quarterback out of usc with the twenty

<v Speaker 1>fourth overall pick in nineteen ninety one after j Strader,

<v Speaker 1>Remember he was so awful in that fifty one to

<v Speaker 1>three playoff lost to the Buffalo Bills and nineteen ninety

<v Speaker 1>The Raiders went nine to seven in nineteen ninety one

<v Speaker 1>and they made it back to the playoffs, but Jay

<v Speaker 1>Schrader got injured in Week sixteen, so Todd Marinovich got

<v Speaker 1>the start in the playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs,

<v Speaker 1>and robo quarterback went twelve of twenty three for one

<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty yards and he threw four interceptions. The

<v Speaker 1>Steve de Berg Chiefs won ten to six went onto

<v Speaker 1>the divisional round against the Buffalo Bills. Marinovich started just

<v Speaker 1>eight games in his career. He was out of the

<v Speaker 1>NFL after just two seasons. Hey, next week on the dose,

<v Speaker 1>I will tell you this. We are going to be
