<v Speaker 1>Wednesday, July fifteenth, twenty twenty six.

<v Speaker 2>You are listening to the Daily Dose Sports podcast and

<v Speaker 2>I am your host, Clint Daily, coming to you for

<v Speaker 2>the Mahih City here in Denver, Colorado, and we are

<v Speaker 2>back for another week of talking sports with a dose

<v Speaker 2>of common sense. Hey, happy Wednesday to you. I hope

<v Speaker 2>your week is going well. You are now halfway to

<v Speaker 2>another weekend, and I hope you, your family, your friends,

<v Speaker 2>everyone is staying strong and healthy right now. And hey,

<v Speaker 2>that twenty twenty six World Cup just has a few

<v Speaker 2>games left. As Spain sent France home in the semifinal yesterday.

<v Speaker 2>You know Spain's defense, it's a problem and it may

<v Speaker 2>continue to be a problem. So Spain now advances to

<v Speaker 2>the final and today, later today we will have England,

<v Speaker 2>who to me still has the impressive win of this

<v Speaker 2>entire tournament so far, because remember they went to Mexico,

<v Speaker 2>they went to altitude, they went to that crazy stadium

<v Speaker 2>that night at night, by the way, when you've given

<v Speaker 2>the home crowd all day to get liquored up and ready,

<v Speaker 2>and they beat Mexico in their home stadium. That is

<v Speaker 2>the most impressive win of this tournament. Well, now, England

<v Speaker 2>will be facing Argentina. Now, Argentina hasn't faced that strong

<v Speaker 2>of competition. Things have lined up very well for Argentina,

<v Speaker 2>and Argentina also has had let's say, a few friendly

<v Speaker 2>calls from FIFA officials that has allowed them to keep advancing.

<v Speaker 2>Oh but don't underestimate Argentina. They can still win. Hey,

<v Speaker 2>when you have Lino Messi, you can still win the

<v Speaker 2>whole thing. It doesn't matter. And he is playing at

<v Speaker 2>an insane level right now.

<v Speaker 1>So today's going to be a tough one.

<v Speaker 2>I'm going to take England to knock out the defending champs.

<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be surprised either way, but I'm going to

<v Speaker 2>take England. I think England has the best win so

<v Speaker 2>far in this tournament, and I'm going to take them

<v Speaker 2>to beat Argentina and then we will get the twenty

<v Speaker 2>twenty six World Cup final on Sunday.

<v Speaker 1>Don't forget, by the way, that on Saturday they make

<v Speaker 1>the two losers play each other and that stupid, awful

<v Speaker 1>third place game or whatever it is. I remember coaching

<v Speaker 1>back in the day, and every once in a while

<v Speaker 1>we'd get knocked off and we'd have to play in

<v Speaker 1>that third place game.

<v Speaker 2>I don't want to play in it. No one wants

<v Speaker 2>to plan in it. That is the absolute worst thing. Ever,

<v Speaker 2>that third place game is awful. Then on Sunday we

<v Speaker 2>will have the championship game. And if I had to

<v Speaker 2>pick right now, let's see I would have. I think

<v Speaker 2>I would take Spain over either Argentina or England. As

<v Speaker 2>impressive as both those teams have been, I don't know.

<v Speaker 2>I just love that defense that Spain is playing right now,

<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna take Spain to win it all on

<v Speaker 2>Sunday in the final. We'll see how that turns out.

<v Speaker 2>But one brief side note before we jump into day.

<v Speaker 2>They note there has been a lot made of all

<v Speaker 2>the flopping in this tournament, and I mean, at this

<v Speaker 2>point that's kind of like noticing waters wet or ice

<v Speaker 2>is cold. And there has, like I just mentioned, also

<v Speaker 2>been a lot made of the dicey officiating, and I

<v Speaker 2>get it, although to be fair, most of the people

<v Speaker 2>complaining are literally watching the first soccer they've ever watched

<v Speaker 2>in their lives. But can I just liab about an

<v Speaker 2>observation one? If a player goes down in one of

<v Speaker 2>these games in FIFA injured or pretending to be injured

<v Speaker 2>or whatever. Here is a quick clue that you can

<v Speaker 2>tell at home or if you're officiating, how injured they are.

<v Speaker 2>The more times they roll over, the less they are

<v Speaker 2>actually hurt. For instance, one roll, I mean maybe they're hurt.

<v Speaker 2>You go down, you got kick, you kind of roll

<v Speaker 2>over on your side. Okay, one roll, two roles. I'm

<v Speaker 2>getting skeptical. Oh but when I see like three, four, six, eight,

<v Speaker 2>twelve rolls, you're just full on the bron and it

<v Speaker 2>get up.

<v Speaker 1>Just stop it already. Secondly, if you think at.

<v Speaker 2>All that FIFA doesn't love the flopping, oh you're crazy.

<v Speaker 2>FIFA loves the flopping. FIFA loves the acting. They think

<v Speaker 2>it's adorable. You want some proof. You could stop it

<v Speaker 2>if you wanted to, just don't blow your whistle, watch

<v Speaker 2>what happens. Play on cost your team of goal, and

<v Speaker 2>when you go back home and you get executed for it,

<v Speaker 2>it would stop immediately.

<v Speaker 1>But they don't want to stop it. See here's the

<v Speaker 1>thing about FIFA.

<v Speaker 2>They're a little bit like the NBA, or say better comparison, NASCAR.

<v Speaker 2>Nascar loves the crashes. They orchestrate the crashes. The only

<v Speaker 2>thing they want more than a small crash is a

<v Speaker 2>big crash. And that is the exact same thing as FIFA.

<v Speaker 2>They love the flopping because if they wanted to get

<v Speaker 2>rid of it, it wouldn't be that hard. Hey, Today,

<v Speaker 2>on the Dose, we are now in a very dry

<v Speaker 2>time of year. The World Cup is wrapping up, Major

<v Speaker 2>League Baseball it's going but let's face it, it's in

<v Speaker 2>the dog days.

<v Speaker 1>It is a bit of a rough time. We'll never fear.

<v Speaker 1>I am not going to.

<v Speaker 2>Bore you to death by trying to force something on

<v Speaker 2>you that you don't care about.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not kelling Winslow the second. Oh no, you didn't.

<v Speaker 2>No, We're going to do something a little bit different.

<v Speaker 2>What we're going to do is we are going to

<v Speaker 2>bring you a flashback episode of The Daily Dose. But

<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you ahead of time it is a little different.

<v Speaker 2>This is an episode from a few years back when

<v Speaker 2>we were discussing sports traditions that are uniquely American. You know,

<v Speaker 2>we've seen over the past few weeks as the USA

<v Speaker 2>has been one of the host countries of this World Cup,

<v Speaker 2>and we've seen all these foreign fans come to the

<v Speaker 2>States and they are just blown away by the sights

<v Speaker 2>and the food, and the traditions and the people. Heye,

<v Speaker 2>the United States is an interesting place and we have

<v Speaker 2>some very interesting American traditions.

<v Speaker 1>In our world of sports.

<v Speaker 2>So sit back, relax, and enjoy this throwback episode of

<v Speaker 2>the Daily Those Sports podcast. Right after this, So, the

<v Speaker 2>United States of America enjoyed its two hundred and forty

<v Speaker 2>seventh birthday yesterday, And as we celebrated our independence from

<v Speaker 2>England by barbecuing hammers and hot dogs and ribs and

<v Speaker 2>chicken and drinking beer or red white and blue drinks

<v Speaker 2>or whatever, blowing our fingers off with fireworks, all I know,

<v Speaker 2>we have some seriously ugly Americans, the loud, obnoxious, gun toting,

<v Speaker 2>political spouting complaining about how bad they have it in

<v Speaker 2>America while there is literally a line of people from

<v Speaker 2>other countries trying to get in the door. Hey, we

<v Speaker 2>are an odd lot here in America. From our food,

<v Speaker 2>to our political ideologies, to our music, to our movies,

<v Speaker 2>and yes, to even our sports. Hey, Americans have some

<v Speaker 2>sports traditions and they are uniquely our own. Not only

<v Speaker 2>are they ours and ours alone, I'm not even sure

<v Speaker 2>any other countries would want them, to be honest, because

<v Speaker 2>they are American. There is no other way to describe them.

<v Speaker 2>That's just how they are. Take, for instance, are college sports.

<v Speaker 2>You know, in other countries you go play club sports,

<v Speaker 2>maybe as a young kid, and if you're good enough,

<v Speaker 2>you continue to play until maybe you even make an

<v Speaker 2>adult league and hopefully someday you get paid for That's

<v Speaker 2>not how it is in America.

<v Speaker 1>Here.

<v Speaker 2>You try out for your high school team. If you

<v Speaker 2>play and you play well, you hope to get an

<v Speaker 2>offer to go play for your college. College sports, though

<v Speaker 2>they're a bit odd, but they do go way way

<v Speaker 2>way back. The first organized sports club in college was

<v Speaker 2>formed in eighteen forty three. That was when Yale University

<v Speaker 2>created a boat club. Then in the late eighteen fifties

<v Speaker 2>you started to see baton ball games.

<v Speaker 3>They became more known.

<v Speaker 2>The sport of baseball was really starting to become an

<v Speaker 2>establishment at US universities.

<v Speaker 3>Then you saw baseball games being played against each other.

<v Speaker 2>The first one actually took place back in eighteen fifty

<v Speaker 2>nine between Amherst and Williams College. And then cricket, soccer, rugby,

<v Speaker 2>and track and field were following, and then the sport

<v Speaker 2>that kind of changed everything in America came along. Yes,

<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about college football. In eighteen sixty nine. The

<v Speaker 2>first intercollegiate football game between teams from Rutgers College, which

<v Speaker 2>of course became Rutgers and the College of New Jersey

<v Speaker 2>which became Princeton, took place in November of eighteen sixty

<v Speaker 2>nine in New Jersey.

<v Speaker 3>Hey, that changed everything.

<v Speaker 2>College football really began to become popular in the early

<v Speaker 2>nineteen hundreds and pretty soon we were even seeing games

<v Speaker 2>be filmed and be televised and get big crowds. In fact,

<v Speaker 2>college football was hot and pro football was really kind

<v Speaker 2>of thought to be a waste of time. No one

<v Speaker 2>thought there would be a market for football. It was

<v Speaker 2>only college football, and it is all evolved from that.

<v Speaker 2>But college sports, yeah, they are uniquely American. Speaking of

<v Speaker 2>college sports, college football is by far the most popular

<v Speaker 2>college sports, and college football in America has the most

<v Speaker 2>insane traditions.

<v Speaker 3>College football is so popular in America. They get this.

<v Speaker 2>You might not realize this, and maybe you do, but

<v Speaker 2>fans will go park in stadium parking lots, like on

<v Speaker 2>Tuesday or Wednesday, four games that aren't scheduled to be

<v Speaker 2>played until Saturday. They drive giant RVs they live basically

<v Speaker 2>in the parking lot. They barbecue, they drink, they party

<v Speaker 2>until the games. They go to the game, then they

<v Speaker 2>come back out after the game, they party some more,

<v Speaker 2>and then they pack everything up, they load up, and

<v Speaker 2>they head to the next game. Tailgating is a uniquely

<v Speaker 2>American tradition. But that's just the beginning in college reball,

<v Speaker 2>because you also have some unique traditions at the games themselves. Now,

<v Speaker 2>at Ohio State, the band spells out Ohio State, and

<v Speaker 2>then they go find a notable person, maybe an actor,

<v Speaker 2>maybe a musician, maybe a former player, and they dot

<v Speaker 2>the eye in the script. They become that dot in

<v Speaker 2>the eye. At Clemson, players touch Howard's Rock, a cannon

<v Speaker 2>is fired, and then the team runs down the hill

<v Speaker 2>on the field, where they are applauded like crazy from

<v Speaker 2>the home fans. Notre Dame players touch the play like

<v Speaker 2>a Champion Today sign as they depart their locker room.

<v Speaker 2>Nebraska walks the tunnel, Wisconsin fans jump around, and Virginia

<v Speaker 2>Tech enters the stadium to Metallica's enter Sandman as the

<v Speaker 2>home fans lose their minds. College football it is just

<v Speaker 2>so completely random. The traditions are so completely bizarre, and

<v Speaker 2>they are uniquely American. Now, I hate to keep harping

<v Speaker 2>on the college football thing, but you want something else

<v Speaker 2>that is uniquely American. We have live mascots on the

<v Speaker 2>sidelines of college football games. Now you hear that and

<v Speaker 2>you think, okay, not a big deal. Yes, we have

<v Speaker 2>George's little American bulldog. South Carolina actually has Sir Bigspur,

<v Speaker 2>a live rooster at their home games. Texas A and

<v Speaker 2>M has a mixed breed like Colleigue looking dog named Revelee.

<v Speaker 2>Not only does Revee attend games, but if you see

<v Speaker 2>Revelee on campus, you must stop and salute or you're

<v Speaker 2>gonna be in some trouble. In college Station, Tennessee has

<v Speaker 2>Smoky the coonhound patrolling their sideline, and a few teams

<v Speaker 2>have birds. Air Force has their falcon named Nobel see

<v Speaker 2>NOVI few times. Auburn, of course, has war Eagle that

<v Speaker 2>is not only a mascot, but it is also like

<v Speaker 2>a battle cry. And at Auburn you could just say

<v Speaker 2>war Eagle to anything. It's like a hello, it's like

<v Speaker 2>a goodbye. It's like things are good, it's like a

<v Speaker 2>things are bad. War Eagle covers everything. But wait, the

<v Speaker 2>mascots get a little crazier. Now, Florida State doesn't want

<v Speaker 2>it to be called a mascot, But Florida State has

<v Speaker 2>an Appleloosa horse named Renegade, and Renegade runs out under

<v Speaker 2>the field with Chief Osceola on its back, and Chief

<v Speaker 2>Osiola has a flaming spear that is thrust into the

<v Speaker 2>turf on the field to declare that Florida State has

<v Speaker 2>a rye. Southern California has a white horse named Traveler

<v Speaker 2>that carries their trojan soldier out to proclaim victim. The

<v Speaker 2>University of Oklahoma as a fully covered horse drawn wagon

<v Speaker 2>that runs out on the field, the Sooner Schooner. But

<v Speaker 2>that's not all because, like I've said, hey, college football.

<v Speaker 3>Goes big, and I mean real big.

<v Speaker 2>The University of Colorado has a five hundred pound live

<v Speaker 2>buffalo that leads the sea buffs out onto the field.

<v Speaker 2>The University of Texas has an eighteen hundred pound longhorn

<v Speaker 2>steer that walks the sidelines, and two universities actually have

<v Speaker 2>live wildcats on the field. North Alabama has not one,

<v Speaker 2>but two live lions. It's a couple Leo and Una. Yeah,

<v Speaker 2>for reals, two full sized Lions on the field, and

<v Speaker 2>Louisiana State has a full sized Bengal tiger named Mike

<v Speaker 2>that is many times in a big cage and carted

<v Speaker 2>over near the opposing team's locker room so that they

<v Speaker 2>I have to walk by him live mascots on the sideline. Yeah,

<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna see that anywhere else, but here in

<v Speaker 2>the USA. There is one more college football tradition that

<v Speaker 2>again is very uniquely American. Imagine for a second if

<v Speaker 2>other countries had their militaries play each other in sporting

<v Speaker 2>events and that were on TV. Well, here in America

<v Speaker 2>we have the Army, we have the Navy, and we

<v Speaker 2>have the Air Force that compete in sports year round,

<v Speaker 2>but football in particular is special. The Army versus Navy

<v Speaker 2>game is scheduled one week after all of the major

<v Speaker 2>college football games are over, so that it has its

<v Speaker 2>very own big stage. There is a full military parade,

<v Speaker 2>complete with flyovers and skydivers and marching bands. And then

<v Speaker 2>the two teams play each other and do their best

<v Speaker 2>to beat each other's brains in. But then after the game,

<v Speaker 2>they put their arms around each other and they see

<v Speaker 2>each other's al the maters, and they know going forward,

<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be on the same team. The Army Navy

<v Speaker 2>game is without a doubt, a completely American tradition. Hey,

<v Speaker 2>let's be honest. Football alone, it is uniquely American. Most

<v Speaker 2>sports fans from other countries they don't really understand what

<v Speaker 2>is with all the breaks? Why do they have to

<v Speaker 2>stop between every single play? Well, here in America, we

<v Speaker 2>love the strategy, and we love the big plays, and

<v Speaker 2>whether or not we want to admit it, we love

<v Speaker 2>everything about the head cracking collision sport.

<v Speaker 3>We start our.

<v Speaker 2>Kids playing football CLUBEC and kindergarten, and we watch litleague games,

<v Speaker 2>and we watch middle school games, and we watch high

<v Speaker 2>school games, and we watch college games. And then of

<v Speaker 2>course we watch the National Football League. And what is

<v Speaker 2>more American than the tradition of Thanksgiving Day football games

<v Speaker 2>in the NFL?

<v Speaker 3>Think about that.

<v Speaker 2>We have games beginning in the morning and going into

<v Speaker 2>late evening on a day where all we do literally

<v Speaker 2>is eat, We eat, and we watch football. Is there

<v Speaker 2>a better more American tradition than Thanksgiving football?

<v Speaker 3>If there is, I don't know what it is.

<v Speaker 2>How much do we in America love football? Not only

<v Speaker 2>is the Super Bowl the second biggest party day of

<v Speaker 2>the year, after Noon Year's Eve, I m Dad. And

<v Speaker 2>not only do we crowd around our TVs in record

<v Speaker 2>numbers every single Sunday, but we even tune into the

<v Speaker 2>NFL in the spring just to watch our teams pick

<v Speaker 2>new players in the NFL Draft. We play drinking games

<v Speaker 2>and we bet on who's gonna get picked next. And

<v Speaker 2>we are so excited on NFL Draft Day because every

<v Speaker 2>single year we feel that our favorite team just might

<v Speaker 2>have out smarted every other team and we have selected

<v Speaker 2>the secret to our success.

<v Speaker 3>Every other team passed by that I don't know, tight end.

<v Speaker 2>From Toledo for five rounds, but your team they found

<v Speaker 2>it and maybe they're just a little bit smart and

<v Speaker 2>they snatched him up and he's gonna change the fortunes

<v Speaker 2>of your favorite team. Is there anything more blindly American

<v Speaker 2>than that?

<v Speaker 3>Not much. The NFL Draft, Yeah, it's very American. We

<v Speaker 3>love football so much here.

<v Speaker 2>We even play fantasy football to take things one step further.

<v Speaker 2>Every year, just prior to the season, we hold huge

<v Speaker 2>parties where groups of people hold their fantasy football drafts.

<v Speaker 2>You draft different players around the league. You score points

<v Speaker 2>based on how they do in the actual games. We

<v Speaker 2>draft these players from teams all over the league and

<v Speaker 2>we hope that they will help us win our fantasy leagues.

<v Speaker 2>And I'll tell you this, some of these leagues get

<v Speaker 2>really serious. I mean from huge money prizes to trophies

<v Speaker 2>to theirs. That might include you standing out in public,

<v Speaker 2>maybe wearing like a T shirt that says you suck

<v Speaker 2>at fantasy football, or some of them even include getting

<v Speaker 2>a tattoo that everyone else in the league gets to choose.

<v Speaker 3>Fantasy football leagues are absolutely wild in America, but it's

<v Speaker 3>not just football.

<v Speaker 2>While football is definitely king in the USA, there is

<v Speaker 2>about a three week span in the spring where most

<v Speaker 2>everyone in America is suddenly supremely interested in college basketball. Now,

<v Speaker 2>college basketball isn't nearly as big as this country, but

<v Speaker 2>when March Madness begins, yeah, we suddenly develop a number

<v Speaker 2>of college basketball fans, from the real college basketball fans

<v Speaker 2>to just common people that watch a little bit here

<v Speaker 2>and there, kind of keep up on it, don't really

<v Speaker 2>know too much to like the little old lady in

<v Speaker 2>your company's HR department that is suddenly telling you how

<v Speaker 2>you know Florida Atlantic's guards. They're just gonna be way

<v Speaker 2>too much for Memphis. And you know they might be

<v Speaker 2>a five seed, but I'm telling you San Diegos, they

<v Speaker 2>could really give opponents some matchup problems because they play defense,

<v Speaker 2>and that defensive pressure could really change things. Not only

<v Speaker 2>are we dissecting every single matchup and every single game,

<v Speaker 2>but get this, in that three week span, a lot

<v Speaker 2>of people, maybe not me, okay, maybe sometimes a lot

<v Speaker 2>of people even calling sick from work or they go

<v Speaker 2>to work but just do nothing and watch the games

<v Speaker 2>on their computers. And they do it every year. I mean,

<v Speaker 2>they're just watching the games on the clock. Why does

<v Speaker 2>this bizarre annual tradition take place. Because the men's college

<v Speaker 2>basketball tournament is most known for everyone filling out a bracket,

<v Speaker 2>many times multiple brackets, and if you win that bracket,

<v Speaker 2>you get money, you get bragging rights. I mean, people

<v Speaker 2>that don't care what ounce about basketball, that have never

<v Speaker 2>watched even a basketball game, they are suddenly interested in

<v Speaker 2>March maddness. They want to win. They're gonna cheer for

<v Speaker 2>their bracket. It is very very American. And while football

<v Speaker 2>is America's favorite sport and March Madness a lot of

<v Speaker 2>times captures our attention. Remember baseball is America's past time. Well,

<v Speaker 2>at least it used to do in the days of

<v Speaker 2>black and white TV and the glory days of like

<v Speaker 2>the baby Boomer generation. Now baseball is a little different.

<v Speaker 2>And while baseball overseas has really gotten strong, I mean,

<v Speaker 2>you think about that, teams from Asia, teams from the Caribbean, they're.

<v Speaker 3>Among the best in the world.

<v Speaker 2>But there's an aspect to American baseball that a game

<v Speaker 2>is very, very unique to us. Look, baseball is a

<v Speaker 2>slower game. There's no other way to say. And while

<v Speaker 2>Major League Baseball has finally addressed the speed of the

<v Speaker 2>game this year, it's still a slower game.

<v Speaker 3>So what do you do for.

<v Speaker 2>Those two and a half to three hours. Things aren't

<v Speaker 2>always happening constantly.

<v Speaker 3>It's a little bit slower.

<v Speaker 2>Well, if you're at the game, you eat, of course

<v Speaker 2>you do. It's America, and Major League Baseball parks have

<v Speaker 2>some of the craziest food out there, from a lobster

<v Speaker 2>role at US Fenway Park to the Ahi Poke tacos

<v Speaker 2>in Oakland to the famous Dodger dog at Chavez Ravine

<v Speaker 2>to toasted grasshoppers in Seattle. That's not a mistake, that's

<v Speaker 2>exactly what they are actual grasshoppers to Rocky Mountain oysters

<v Speaker 2>that are served here in Denver, which, if you are

<v Speaker 2>somehow unfamiliar with that, are fried bulls testicles that are

<v Speaker 2>kind of breaded and look like chicken strips. I guess

<v Speaker 2>you'd say, hey, Mejor League Baseball has some absolutely wild

<v Speaker 2>ballpark foods, and what could be more American in Major

<v Speaker 2>League Baseball? Well, there is actually one other tradition that

<v Speaker 2>is uniquely American. If you head to Milwaukee, the home

<v Speaker 2>of the Milwaukee Brewers, every home game features a sausage

<v Speaker 2>race prior to the bottom of the sixth inning. The

<v Speaker 2>race features people dressed in giant sausage costumes. Actually started

<v Speaker 2>back in the nineteen nineties and he had three sausages

<v Speaker 2>at the broughtwurst, the Polish sausage which is a cabasa,

<v Speaker 2>and the Italian sausage. And since then they've added two

<v Speaker 2>new sausages, the hot dog and then chardiso.

<v Speaker 3>Which was actually broke out in the mid two thousands.

<v Speaker 2>And every game they race, much to the delight of

<v Speaker 2>home fans who are rooting for their favorite sausage to win.

<v Speaker 3>Hey, it does not get more American than that.

<v Speaker 2>Except for maybe our final uniquely American sports tradition, and

<v Speaker 2>this one, of course, began in our favorite sport of football,

<v Speaker 2>but is now branched out to nearly every level and

<v Speaker 2>every sport. Get this back in nineteen eighty four, New

<v Speaker 2>York Giants head coach Bill Parcells, he had been particularly

<v Speaker 2>hard on nose tackle Jim Burton practice what he did.

<v Speaker 2>He was frustrated with Burt, so he made Burt raise

<v Speaker 2>a twenty pound dumb bell repeatedly off the ground in

<v Speaker 2>the weight room for forty five minutes straight to simulate

<v Speaker 2>raising his arm powerfully out of his stance at the

<v Speaker 2>snap of the ball. So he would have to get

<v Speaker 2>down in his stance, clutching the dumbbell and then raise

<v Speaker 2>it up above his head as fast as he could.

<v Speaker 3>He made him do it for forty five minutes. Jim

<v Speaker 3>burg got real strong.

<v Speaker 2>And after a Week nine win over the Super Bowl

<v Speaker 2>champion Washington Redskins at the time, Burt wanted a little revenge,

<v Speaker 2>so he teamed up with linebacker Harry Carson and the

<v Speaker 2>two of them dumped a ice cold cooler of gatorade

<v Speaker 2>over Parcells's head after the win, and then Burt and

<v Speaker 2>Carson kept it going. Every win, they would dump gatorade

<v Speaker 2>on Parcels head.

<v Speaker 3>They did it for two seasons.

<v Speaker 2>After the Giants won the Super Bowl in nineteen eighty six,

<v Speaker 2>they did it on the biggest stage possible. They doused

<v Speaker 2>Parcels again, and everyone saw it, and everyone loved it.

<v Speaker 2>And now everyone dumps gatorade on their.

<v Speaker 3>Coach after big wins. It does not have to be football.

<v Speaker 3>It could be baseball.

<v Speaker 2>It could even be basketball, which, by the way, it

<v Speaker 2>cannot be good for the hardwood floors. Gatorade bath are

<v Speaker 2>an American tradition. How much Las Vegas even issues a

<v Speaker 2>betting line every year as to what color gatorade will

<v Speaker 2>be that gets dumped on the Super Bowl winning head coach,

<v Speaker 2>and that tradition, I mean, honestly, it kind.

<v Speaker 3>Of sums up America in a lot of ways, doesn't it.
