Leroy Butler on Packers playoff choke, creating the Lambeau Leap, defending Randy Moss, Brett Favre joining Vikings and potentially joining Pro Football Hall of Fame Jan 28, 2022

Show notes

Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden are joined by a legend from the NFC North, former Packers safety Leroy Butler. We eventually dive into his career but first focus on Green Bay being eliminated from the postseason, what the future holds for Aaron Rodgers and why the organization doesn't have more Super Bowls over the past 30 years. Then, it's time to follow Leroy's journey to the NFL all the way to being a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Butler went from playing for a Florida high school coaching legend in Corky Rodgers to playing for a Florida college coaching legend in Bobby Bowden. He shares words of wisdom from Deion Sanders at Florida State and recalls the epic "Puntrooskie" play he was a part of against Clemson in 1988. Our guest is a legend in his own right but also created the epic Packers tradition known as the Lambeau Leap. What inspired it and why did it stick? The man that often goes by "Leap" now remembered Green Bay's incredible 1996 season capped by a Super Bowl and how essential the team camaraderie was for that group. Brett Favre and Reggie White changed the tone of that team as Leroy labels Reggie as the best defensive player ever! We also get to hear his thoughts on the rival Vikings including what it was like to match up with Randy Moss and his feelings when Brett Favre joined Minnesota. Butler is up for the Hall of Fame and feels like he has a decent shot to get in. Will he get the call this year? Finally, Superlatives.

Andre Johnson on current state of Texans, 2001 Miami Hurricanes, Vince Young hypotheticals, fighting Cortland Finnegan & Hall of Fame Dec 30, 2021

Show notes

Another South Florida legend joins the show to discuss his football journey. Andre Johnson was a part of one of the best (if not THE BEST) college football teams of all time and shares stories from the 2001 Miami Hurricanes. He then focuses on his time in the pros and long-winding path with the Houston Texans. Andre details what it was like to lose so much in the NFL after coming from such a winning college program. He remembers the 2006 NFL Draft where the Texans could have selected Reggie Bush or Vince Young but ended up going defense with Mario Williams at #1 overall. What was the feeling of finally making the playoffs in his 9th season? Johnson thinks Houston could have won it all that year if Matt Schaub had remained healthy. A notorious moment from our guest's career involved him fighting Cortland Finnegan of the Tennessee Titans. Dre lets us know what pushed him to that point. He also goes down memory lane to talk about the best game of his career and what the current Texans have to do in order to rebuild. Is there a way they can keep Deshaun Watson? Finally, we hear Johnson's Mount Rushmore of Texans, a list he is absolutely a part of.
