And speaking of Manning, how did a scheduling snafu at the NFL Combine potentially change the course of NFL history?

Kurt Warner and Best Super Bowl Memories of Season 2 Mar 25, 2021

Show notes

It's the Season Finale of Half-Forgotten History. (Don't worry, Season 3 is coming next Thursday.) You've noticed a theme: Super Bowls.

First, we revisit Kurt Warner, who explains how his personal bests in multiple Super Bowls factors into his legacy. Then, he talks about the loss to New England in a Super Bowl that launched one of the great dynasties in Super Bowl history -- and it wasn't Warner's Rams, aka the Greatest Show on Turf.

And then we'll hear from many of our guests from the beginning of our show about the exact moment they realized they had FINALLY done it: they had won a Super Bowl.

That means in one episode you'll hear from Emmitt Smith, Eli and Archie Manning, Ed Reed, Chris Long, Tedy Bruschi, Damien Woody, Lane Johnson, Zach Ertz, Jeff Saturday, Willie Colon, Victor Cruz, and Ryan Clark.
