Show notes

Super Bowl Champion Jeff Saturday joins Trey to discuss playing with two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever live, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers, among many surprising and hilarious stories.

He tells the amazing story of how he even made it to the NFL as an undrafted free agent, remembers an iconic sideline squabble with Manning, and recalls some amazing Super Bowl memories (XLI vs Chicago) and some... not amazing memories (XLIV vs New Orleans).

Ep. 9: Aqib Talib on Commentating, Brady vs. Manning, Crabtree Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

Trey is joined by Aqib Talib, former 1st round draft pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Super Bowl champ with the Denver Broncos. They talk about how Talib made the surprising (and seemingly completely natural) transition to the Fox broadcast booth this season.

They also talk about Talib's takes on the differences between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, and the magical run the No Fly Zone Broncos had to win Super Bowl 50. They recall Manning coming off the bench in relief of Brock Osweiler, and how Brady was stymied in the AFC Championship in Denver by Talib and his teammates.

Plus, Trey can't help but ask about the all-time beef with Michael Crabtree.

Ep. 8: Jim Kelly on Bills Glory, Almost Playing Linebacker, and Puking Pre-Game Dec 18, 2020

Show notes

Trey is joined by Pro Football Hall of Famer and legendary quarterback for the Buffalo Bills Jim Kelly. Jim led the Bills to four consecutive Super Bowls from '90-'93, one of the most underappreciated accomplishments in the history of the NFL.

The guys dig into why Jim committed to Miami instead of Penn State, the highs and lows of making four straight Bills Super Bowls (13:40) and why he absolutely NEEDED to puke before games (4:49).

Ep. 7: Michael Vick on Breaking Madden, Lamar Jackson, The Comeback Dec 16, 2020

Show notes

Trey is joined by Falcons and Eagles legend Michael Vick to discuss the one coach he didn’t want to get drafted by, the most impressive play of his career, dining out with a billionaire owner, and the impact he had on the quarterback position -- and Madden -- neither of which has never been the same since.

Also, Michael Vick weighs in on who he'd rather start in an NFL game: him or Lamar Jackson?

Plus, Vick reflects on his experience in prison, his comeback to the NFL, and his gratitude to Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb.

Ep. 6: Mark Schlereth On Undefeated Seasons and Missing The Helmet Catch Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

Trey is joined by Mark “Stink” Schlereth, former NFL guard who won Super Bowls with the Washington Football Team and Denver Broncos.

Stink was on several teams that threatened to go undefeated, and he tells the story of one special teams player who jinxed his Super Bowl-winning Denver team in the 1990s.

He also recounts the single worst play-by-play performance in history, which led to Trey missing a dream interview at the Super Bowl.

Episode 5: Emmitt Smith (Part 2): Jimmy Johnson vs Barry Switzer, Breaking Payton's Record Dec 11, 2020

Show notes

Emmitt Smith joins Trey Wingo for a second episode -- 2 episodes for 22! -- to reflect on eclipsing Walter Payton as the NFL's all-time leading rusher on October 27, 2002 against the Seattle Seahawks, and putting the Cowboys on his back for a Super Bowl Win. Plus, why things fell apart with Coach Barry Switzer after the Jimmy Johnson era.

Emmitt shares how setting boldly aspirational goals as a rookie put him on the path to becoming one of the greatest running backs ever.

Episode 4: Emmitt Smith on 90s Cowboys, MJ & Magic, Back-To-Back SB's Dec 09, 2020

Episode 3: Victor Cruz Talks BoatGate with OBJ, Eli Manning, his unlikely NFL career Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

Trey Wingo and Giants legend Victor Cruz catch up on Cruz's unlikely and remarkable NFL career -- which could not have happened in 2020, a year with no NFL preseason.

Victor also shares a few inside and never-heard-before stories from Boatgate with Odell Beckham, Jr., how the Giants seem cursed ever since that photo was posted, the making of a Super Bowl touchdown catch from Eli Manning, and the infamous Rex Ryan quote about Cruz's breakout performance in the preseason.
