The one thing that still upsets me the NFL waited till after he died to put him in the Hall. I wasn't watching football in the 70's (I was too young) became a Raiders fan in 1980 (at 9). I've watched so many old Raiders games and read the "Snake" book multiple times. He's still my favorite qb, I even have a Stabler jersey. RIP Snake.
Co-inventor of the two-minute drill with Roger Staubach, and always an engaging, articulate interview. RIP Snake. Thanks for making the Oakland Coliseum “The House of Thrills”
You can’t imagine what it was like to grow up in the Bay Area watching the snake and the Raiders, the game was different, the players were different, the fans were different, California was different, we were blue collar, the team was blue collar, I would see them at restaurants, they visited our schools, that whole era was magical, across the whole country. It’s sad to remember when you see what has happened to this country, different times
Snake was the embodiment of Raider football well beyond stats/numbers. The swagger, the icy look on a final drive....When I see all these new age run option/wildcat/playground sprinters lining up over center makes me wish Snake could come out, take the field one more time and show them how it's done
Im a big old Lsu fan but got a lot of respect for the Snake after I heard Archie Manning explain his greatness. Crazy that Ken Stabler has that exact same fast rolling accent that a lot of people around Mobile still have
I always loved to hear Snake talk especially about his Bear Bryant and John Madden. Listening to Kenny talk you'll hear him say the word win , winning a lot and win he did.
Great Interview! I watched him play for years as a kid. I was a loyal Raiders fan because of him. He was the greatest comeback player I ever saw. The Raiders were almost never out of a game because of the Snake. He knew how to win football games and lead last minute drives to victories. Amazing player who was cool under pressure. He was a smooth and confident quarterback who knew how to win. I watched him win games week after week. He was exciting to watch and I never missed a Raiders game back then. And now he is finally in the HOF. They gave it to him posthumously which is ridiculous! He should have been admitted immediately after retiring. RIP Kenny Stabler
Thank you. Spending time with him was a great experience for which I am extremely grateful. Remarkable player and fascinating person. Would really have loved to hear his voice on all that has happened and is happening with college and pro football. But appreciative of all the memories he gave to so many.
Yes I remember Kenny the snake stabler, lived in San Jose calif in the mid sixties used to go to the games in the old Oakland stadium, those were the days of great hard nosed football and great afc teams that were a pleasure to watch, yea Kenny was a great clutch quarterback, in one of his interviews he said the Raider’s were the only AFC team that traveled with a bail bondsmen, I never laughed so hard, it was true, they played hard on the field as they did off the field , those days are gone forever, too bad they were great while they lasted, and I’m greatfull I was there to see it .
Life long Raider fan. Snake all time favorite Raider QB - HOF was too late, sadly, but he is there now with the other greats - the HOF got "greater" with his addition.
The HOF is a joke. Players like Snake, Drew Pearson and many others should have been inducted in their first year of eligibility. Anyone that is selected to an All-Decade team should be automatically enshrined, no questions asked.
I saw Kenny one time in Houston and unless you stood next to him you didn’t realize what a big guy he really was! Played football when it was great to watch those guys play!
He has got to be one of the greatest and most underrated players in the NFL all's he did was play excellent exciting winning football add to the that the Championships and you got one of the greatest players ever period!
What a coincidence. I was looking for a Snake Stabler interview, and I found Paul Crane, the guy I use to watch on channel 4 in Dallas back in the mid '80s.
you prolly dont care but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
Best quarterback in the history of the game. I'm up in Canada and as a kid watched him and thought he was the chillest most skilled player in pro sports. Still do. I was captain of my soccer teams in the 1970s and patterned my confidence and strategies according to him. No one is or will be better.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, but been a Bama fan since 11 years old in the early 70's and always liked Coach Bryant. Listening to the Snake, Marty Lyons, Joe Namath and others, they waived a huge amount of money, as a teenager, to play for Bear. They don't talk about how he made them better players, they talk about how he made them better men.
@@teller1290 All got offers from professional baseball right out of high school. The $50K signing bonus they offered Stabler in 1964 would be worth $481,000 in today's dollars.
I loved to watch Stabler play. He was one of the quickest and most analytical minds on the field. And he left it ALL on the field. As always there were more talented quarterbacks, but NONE who put more into each and every play. God's blessings be with your family and friends Kenny. Godspeed.
Not a Raider fan but a football fan. Ken Stabler... you made football a better game! R.I.P. We'll never forget you and those wonderful (great) band of misfits!
Between The Immaculation Reception game, The Sea of Hands game, The Ghost to the Post game, The Holy Roller game, the Snake was involved in the most famous NFL games of the '70's and of all time.
The radio broadcast of Alabama games was fabulous when he was color commentator. He and play-by-play announcer Eli Gold were a great pair. You can't help but miss Kenny Stabler. R.I.P., Brother.
MY ONLY FAVORITE WAS SNAKE STABLER. I KNOW MY OLD MAN, MY MOM AND 2 BROTHERS AND UNCLES AND AUNTS R RUNNIN' SKINHEAD'S BAR AND GRILL UPSTAIRS. IT WILL BE FUN WHEN I GET THERE TO MEET SNAKE, AL ETC.
Snake was a tremendous natural athlete It is hard to fathom that early on, the Raiders farmed him out to a Continental League team in Tacoma. But when you have Daryle Lamonica and George Blanda in front of you, that happened back then. I remember the NFL Films highlights when Kenny did get in a ball game for the first time, he had a giant smiley decal on the back of his helmet 🙂. This was over 50 years ago. He liked a fried oyster sandwich down in Mobile, the Redneck Riviera.
U HAVE THAT RIGHT, SIR. I CONTACTED THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN GULF SHORES THAT SOMEONE SHOULD OPEN A BAR CALLED SNAKE'S. NO ANSWER YET. FUCK IT, I WILL OPEN IT. I REMEMBER SNAKE'S BOOK - SNAKE. CASPER CAME DOWN TO FISH AND THEY WERE OUT IN SNAKE'S SPEEDBOAT AND RAN OUTTA BEER. UH OH, CASPER SAYS LEAVE ME ON THE PILING OVER THERE. OK, SO SNAKE AND HIS AL GO IN FOR MORE POPS AND FERGIT DAVE. WHEN THEY FINA.LY REMEMBERED HIM, HE LOOKED LIKE A BOILED LOBSTER. R I P SNAKE, AND NOW F U SABAN !!!!!!!
That's the best interview I ever seen!!!!!!! , Great Job !!!!!!!! , This should be a training video for interviewers school. Everyone Will Always Love Snake !!!!!!!
He was my hero with the Oakland Raiders, without a doubt! I've been a natural righty all of my life, but I taught myself how to throw a football left-handed because of him.
Im in denver young man when he played for raiders theyed come the night before i saw them at a party go upstairs and were doing lines and smoking pot then they woyld beat the broncos on sunday
You did a beautiful job with this interview Paul. It could not have been done better. Kenny looked very comfortable and happy talking with you. Thank you for uploading this.
RIP Kenny Raider Nation thanks u for all u have done on and off the field. One qb to go down field with game on the line I’ll take Snake every time. Stabler came up big so many times.
RN4L The Snake is a true Raider Legend. Something you can tell your grandchildren about. Example The Holy Roller, Goast to the Post, The Sea of Hands, Old Man Willy. The Great Bill King...Holy Toledo Run left Upshaw & Shell ... THE SNAKE...I TRUE OAKLAND RAIDER LEGEND...RN4L.
One of the Greatest QB's the world has ever seen. And they put him in the Hall of Shame after he passed away. Not giving his ring to his family. Just sad.... Just sad.
Ken Stabler was the very best. He loved Alabama and he lived football. I knew him personally Ken was a super person and most likely the best Alabama ever had.
I taught myself to throw left-handed because of Snake. What kid didn’t want to be Stabler in those days? I thought Kenny was a colorful commentator too. Can’t understand why he wasn’t on TV more. He was funny.
Great memory of the back bay golf driving range in Orange Beach, AL in the ‘90’s Four left handed guys hitting balls. Me, my sons and Kenny Stabler? A friendly and memorable interlude.
@David Leper - Saban got him fired so he could hire his friend. There is not another person that loved Alabama more than Ken. Ken was so cool with an outstanding personality. Roll Tide Ken!!
When they removed him from the Alabama football radio broadcast was an absolute travesty. For something that is socially acceptable. He was the best color man in the business... That was a horrible decision.. and put a black eye on the university.. I loved your efforts Snake.. thanks for the memories.. We Alabama fans love you so much.. ROLL TIDE my friend..
@Brick Mason - Ken Stabler was the absolute best. Not only was he an asset to Alabama football he was a good friend. I always loved watching Ken & spending time with him. It was a travesty when saban got him from announcing at home games. Saban got Ken fired so his friend could take his place. I have never gone to another game nor will I watch Alabama play. I was elated when Georgia beat Alabama this year. Saban is a very rude, self centered, egotistical idiot. He may be a good coach but he is a horrible person. I will never watch another or go to another Alabama game as long as Saban is there.
@@brickmason4410 I wondered a out Nicky fuckhead I didn't know about him getting my only fav qb tossed off the radio. Thanks and f U Saban go stick yer cock in that ugly c word of a wife, U fuckhead.
You can tell he is so intelligent just a fast quick mind. He was larger than life and what a life he lived even if too short. Snake was snubbed for the HOF because he was not politically correct for the 70s and 80s. It was not his talent or accomplishment, but the fact that society didn't accept his lifestyle. Sure wish we could go back to those days.
@@paulcrane7736 By the way, since I saw his "A Football Life" show I have watched every interview I could find on him and I have to say yours is by far and away the best. He was at the high point of not his football career but his life. That makes it all the greater, you are very lucky.
If it wasnt for the Steelers he would have at least 2 more ring ! One of the best all time! Time on the clock balls in his hands you got a chance to win!
I remember growing up in northern California being a raider fan watching him play Miami in that playoff game and snakes falling on his face throwing it took them past the clearance days with it stained concrete in the background the Oakland Alameda county coliseum that was national football league
The pass to Clarence Davis as he falls to the ground hair hanging out back of helmet 4pmish Pacific time almost dark the colors of the the stanied coliseum the dirt the snake pride poise the commitment to excellence Ken Stabler a real raider
The Hall of fame came too late for the snake, i think the hall of fame should consider players who are 60 and over who haven't made it and should have been there long ago.
NOT THE GREATEST? DID U BUMP YER F'N HEAD? MEMBER, POTATOHEAD, SNAKE WAS A LEFTY. EVERYTHING IS FOR US RIGHTEY'S, FUCK, PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING, ASSWIPE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
STABLER WAS NOT A DUDE, POTATOHEAD NWORD. FUCK NWORDS R STUNNED. NO WHITEY'S R DUDES, JUST U NWORD FUCKS. GO ROB AND SHOOT UP A BEST BUY, U DUMB PIECE OF NWORD SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DESPISE NWORDS, CUZ THEY THINK THEY R SO HARD DONE BY. F O A D ALL N WORDS + ALL OTHER NON WHITEY'S, THAT INCLUDES BIG NOSED HEEBIE JEEBIES. THAT FEELS BETTER, NOW I CAN START DRINKIN' AGAIN. !!!!!!!!!!
It is amazing to think just how great a baseball pitcher Kenny "Snake" Stabler would have been had he accepted the NY Yankees offer of a $50,000 contract in 1967 (which in today's dollars would be $450,359.28 !) to play MLB!
As a kid snake lived 3 blocks from us my best friend had a brother that was good friends with Kenny .he would come over and throw foot balls to us kids I was 10 when he graduated from Foley in 1964 . His daddy was a mechanic at Klumpp Chevrolet in Foley the old building is still there ,his mother was a nurse for Dr Marvin Taylor she saw him on national TV his hair was down to his shoulders she called him and told him if he could not afford a haircut with the money he made she would be glad to pay Paul Gaubatz to cut it .She would go to the local radio station and call Kenny and talk to him on telephone on the radio
He played when the nfl didn't protect the qb like today these soft qb today couldn't play when the snake played tough hard-nosed qb best the raiders ever had
Were u a cop & Snake your CI? If not, it’s just another rumor. And, it has nothing to do with football or the fact that he is the greatest QB that played for the Raiders.
At age 60 now and not an NFL fan since Gruden was fired. But I grew up bleeding Silver and Black. I bet $60 of paper route money on Stabler to beat the Vikings to win the first gamble of my life. So sad how "woke-ism" just takes the joy out of everything it touches.
The one thing that still upsets me the NFL waited till after he died to put him in the Hall. I wasn't watching football in the 70's (I was too young) became a Raiders fan in 1980 (at 9).

Didn't live in California back then but dam you are so right about this country.
I’m a Bay Area guy too.. you are spot on. Very different times.
The NFL and AFL of the 1960s and the NFL of the 1970s were the very best of pro football
Just remember watching the Snake,aways have love for him,RIP Champ,your nickname was snake but i'll always remember you as a Champion
I was a teenager and big Raider fan living in the Bay Area during Snake's glory years. Yes, times were different then, but now it seems magical.
Snake was the embodiment of Raider football well beyond stats/numbers. The swagger, the icy look on a final drive....When I see all these new age run option/wildcat/playground sprinters lining up over center makes me wish Snake could come out, take the field one more time and show them how it's done
I met him at a book signing in Mt View CA in the 80’s and I still,have the signed book. He seemed like a real nice guy.
Im a big old Lsu fan but got a lot of respect for the Snake after I heard Archie Manning explain his greatness. Crazy that Ken Stabler has that exact same fast rolling accent that a lot of people around Mobile still have

Thank you. You’ve got a great memory! Glad you found it. Snake was awesome. I am grateful for that day and experience. May he RIP…
This is fantastic. RIP GOAT QB from Baldwin County. Legend.
Thank you for sharing, Ken Stabler was one of my favorite quarterbacks growing up.
Heyyyyyy

@Cesar Yael Instablaster :)
His line about the Raiders being the only team in the league to travel with a bail bondsman is hilarious and we all know it’s true
In his autobiography, Kenny devoted a whole chapter to the subject of how it was his responsibility to keep Matuszak out of the clink

I wasn't a Raiders fan but Stabler sure did have this cool look on the field.
He had that cool face mask that was modern at the time, and I think a tear away jersey. That and the long hair. He was a rock star. lol

MY ONLY FAVORITE WAS SNAKE STABLER. I KNOW MY OLD MAN, MY MOM AND 2 BROTHERS AND UNCLES AND AUNTS R RUNNIN' SKINHEAD'S BAR AND GRILL UPSTAIRS. IT WILL BE FUN WHEN I GET THERE TO MEET SNAKE, AL ETC.
Both of these guys had the ability and the prescience to know when to when to change the play.
Miss you Kenny.....a true leader on the field....called his own plays like it should be
This is my favorite QB. So calm under pressure......
I wouldn't say calm was ever a word associated with the Snake
Nice job with interview. Kenny Stabler was definitely one of a kind.
My childhood athletic hero. Loved watching him play as a kid growing up in the South Bay. RIP, Snake.
Ken Stabler once said that his offensive line was so good he could have played QB in a suit & tie.
This a very good interview. He asked great questions, and gave Kenny the room to fill out the response. The mark of a good host!!
Thank you. He was a special player and person. I'm grateful to have had the chance to spend that time with him.

Great player. Classy guy. RIP Snake.
I heard Raider stories that would make one's toes curl..they partied hard and were hung over many times during a game...
Great story love Ken stabler stories
That's the best interview I ever seen!!!!!!! , Great Job !!!!!!!! , This should be a training video for interviewers school. Everyone Will Always Love Snake !!!!!!!
Thank you for the kind words. It was really special to spend that time with him and even more special since he was taken way too soon.
Stabler was and is an Alabama icon. ROLL TIDE
He was my hero with the Oakland Raiders, without a doubt! I've been a natural righty all of my life, but I taught myself how to throw a football left-handed because of him.
Dam I thought I was the only one who did that hope your left hand passes looked better than mine. Lol
Im in denver young man when he played for raiders theyed come the night before i saw them at a party go upstairs and were doing lines and smoking pot then they woyld beat the broncos on sunday

A movie company should make a movie about the Bear 🐻 and Stabler. Call it the Bear 🐻 and the 🐍 Snake.
SEA of hands was my start never rooted for anyone so much
Here after Bill Burr's reccommendation of the book "Snake" A grade A dude and champion. The deep dive continues....
Greatest clutch qb ever bar none
Greatest clutch b ever
The pass to Clarence Davis as he falls to the ground hair hanging out back of helmet 4pmish Pacific time almost dark the colors of the the stanied coliseum the dirt the snake pride poise the commitment to excellence Ken Stabler a real raider
A great QB and a cool dude
RIP Snake....now open the gate for Coach Madden.....
Bama, them boys love football. Whether you like 'em or not you have to give credit where credit is due.
if Kenny was born in CAlif, been a Trojan at USC. Could been a movie star after playing; days.
RIP Snake
Snake was the greatest left handed to play the game..
a great great raider. RIP SNAKE.
The Hall of fame came too late for the snake, i think the hall of fame should consider players who are 60 and over who haven't made it and should have been there long ago.
i got Stabler painting for sale
I agree, it was so f--ked up for the HOF a yr or 2 too late. They should be ashamed of themselves...
Paul I hope you are well!
Anyone nicknamed Snake has to be cool.
00:48 snake nickname my hometown looove it. Roll tide
This man is so lucky to have been around a great quarterback like Joe Namath. Super bowl Joe guaranteed the win..
