I showed my 84 year old dad your videos. He is a big time sports fan. He absolutely loves your channel. I got him hooked. Thanks for the quality content and giving me something I can watch with dad.
That "Hit Dem Folks" with the flag is legend. Makes me smile every time I see it.
Marquette King and Pat McAfee by far the most entertaining punters to ever play the game.
I was so excited when the Broncos picked him up and sad when he left. I don’t know why the coach tried to change his style when he was clearly the best punter in the league, like just let the man do his thing.
Seriously. Just let the man work. Its like trying to change Mahomes's style of play. Why? It works.
yeah that would be like if the buccaneers coach tried to change tom brady's style
@@abebuenodemesquita8111 not really tom Brady is 56 years old I'm sure there will be some adjustments. Probably less pass attempts and more check down passes. I get what you're saying tho old man Brady probably was just not the best comparison.
he wasn't the best, but was top 5 for sure.
Didn't get hurt or something?
Pat McAfee and Marquette King made special teams fun to watch
The kicker Tyler Bass from Buffalo has Big Personality and lots a swag that you don't normally see from punters or kickers, so when you do see it, you gotta love it!
One guy retired on his own terms and praised. The other guy black balled and forced to change his style. Lol take a wild guess which is which
Jeff Reed was.. different, after games anyways. Getting drunk and punched the hand towel machine because it was out (hand dryer right next to it lol) then bitch at the employee
I remember when he was on the raiders when they made the playoffs, he was electric. Especially when he ran any fakes, dude is an athlete.
@@ButterBro2002 he also called his own number on a fake and didn’t convert. Everyone was pissed. Must be the first punter with that much ego
We live in cali...my dad is ny giants fan so we go to raider and niner games to see our football giants...King has been one of the most energetic players i have had the pleasure of watching...definitely a fan of this man...hope to see him somewhere in the league again :)
I'm a raiders fan from Washington state, my dad and I are die hards but we barely see them play. The playoff stands out to me the most for how much we were able to watch them play.
I remember when him and Pat played each other the commercials hyped up the “Punter matchup” probably the only time in history.
I went to college with him, he was cool as hell man. Never thought he would have hit those heights, we was kids then. But it was fun seeing him live his dream
I think that it was cool having his energy on the special teams in the same way it was exciting to have Deion sanders or Devon Hester on the ST, we don’t wanna waste time during plays to watch a WR desire attention but when it’s a dry part of the game it’s always fun to have someone bring big energy.
I bet if Al Davis was still alive that man would still be a raider to this day.
Without a doubt. Al Davis loved guys with swagger and attitude, he would get along with him
Not if they caused more problems than points OR when they turn against the Raiders while still on the team and buddy up with a Bronco who was notorious for attacking the Raiders.
Y'all must be thinking of a different Al Davis than I remember.
Nah, Al Davis didn't play that shit. The moment he took that pic with Talib, Al would have shipped him off before he could blink.
@Johnny Daniels the Chargers are terrible at having fans at home/away games soooo....🤷♂️
I want FlemLo to narrate my life but hopefully, i'll lived a good life and have the good ending.
“Faizal Iqbal was found dead from spontaneous human combustion” that’s how I see your story ending
@@CallMeMicahT "And it turns out some dude named Micah B is responsible for the fire and blamed the spontaneous human combustion but we all know here, Micah is lying."
"We bout to make the team off of this racially motivated check we just made."
That was the funniest thing I've ever heard about a check.
@@erikmartin4996 I mean it doesnt matter what race you are in that moment, an undrafted Black punter, not to mention one built like a WR, is gonna make you do a double take. Nothing Flem said came off as an indictment of the other teams for anything other than football sense.
As a Raider fan I loved Marquette King. He did some hilarious shit in addition to dropping punts into cans.
I hope he is living life to the fullest and wish him nothing but the best.
I was a kohl’s kicker Invitee. I saw him punting in person at my tryouts. Right after he left FVSU.
Absolutely had no other comparison before seeing his bombs. First time witnessing Unbelievable height and hang time. I was mind blown. he really put in the extra work. the core power he had, and the fluidity in his technique was next level. In my eyes. The Ken Griffey jr. swings of punting. Since Marquette. Kickers have been much bigger
It’s very rare when you can actually recall the name of a punter, he’s one of the few modern punters that I’ve actually seen (and own) a card of.
@ladawg81 yeah I’d say if anyone is going to remember a punter it at least should be one of the Colquitts. Having a father and his two sons all be punters and champions is pretty crazy imo.
I've got a Reggie Roby card. Excellent punter in the 80's/90's with Miami. He made the 80's all-decade team and one of only a handful of black kickers as well. Sadly, he died back in 2005.
I went to high school with Marquette back home in Macon, GA. He was a low key dude who went on to become something great in the NFL.
I hope he could find his way back into football for his Hometown Falcons. We need a Punter something serious
@@jtkraken23 macon is pretty big in GA lmao. Not surprised that he went to school with him
I liked him. He could kick the hell out of a ball & was pretty entertaining.
Yeah me too. But as a raider fan, I didn’t condone that suckashit he pulled wit Crabtree 😂
@@user-ou8ut7df8p yeah. I didn't like it. But if he would've stayed & helped win a SB, I would've gotten over it. Lol
@@raidernation7427 yeah I’m sure Crabtree would’ve forgotten too if that was the case 😂
I'm a Chiefs fan, and I'd still definitely love to have seen King stay in the league. From the best of his punts, to his worst penalties, he was usually very fun to watch!!!
as a raiders fan i can tell you it was not fun watching your punter get personal fouls, just shut up and do your job.
@@seanc280 as a football fan he clearly did his job better than most other punters 🤷🏽♂️
That last line was a cold and spot on analysis. We know so many "self-made" people like this. Built themselves up well, but can't mesh well with others.
I’m a raider fan, and I miss him!! He had an attitude that fit the silver and black…
Thanks for the video!!
Great point that goes unnoticed with the whole “student athlete” discord. Scholarships can be rescinded if the school feels like there’s a better prospect out there.
Had no idea about that. That must be heartwrenching for the ppl that has happened to
@@useyourimaginasean it’s super rare. That’s why schools are hesitant to give out schollys. Bc theyre essentially making a 4-5 yr investment on a player. They only get so many and stories of schools pulling scholarships for reasons other than academics, off field trouble, and things like that is super rare. If you’re projected to be nice and end up bring a bum you clinched the scholly, most schools are usually stuck w/ the bad investment. There’s a few tricks they can pull, but a healthy, academically eligible player who hasn’t got in trouble gettin their scholly pulled is super super rare
Yea but that’s a great way to instantly ruin your credibility as an athletic institution
Met the dude once at 24 hour fitness . He was still practicing punting . Raquette ball court kicking into the corner of the room . It was 9 pm . After a raiders practice . Dedicated to practicing and getting better. Asked him about his 40 yard dash and college . He was chill. He was a character that Grudens ego didn’t want to compete with . That’s my theory as to why he’s not a raider once gruden took over
Gruden is the reason he’s out the league. Jon didn’t like his personality and blackballed him. How such a bs artist as gruden has so much weight is beyond me.
@@samsonlite3334 no surprise at all. Hes all business. King knew that. Its not a secret.
@@rockabye_baby187 gruden is for gruden and he’s bs not business. If mark Davis wasn’t a fool Jon would not be back in the league.
@@rockabye_baby187 If this dudes position wasn't punter, Gruden wouldn't have gave a fuck. This dude put up with Warren Sapp, Keyshon Johnson, didn't have a problem with Thier antics. Gruden won one Superbowl with Tony Dungees team, and people act like he's a goddamn genius, forgetting he couldn't win one in Oakland, and only won by beating the team he coached, who still ran the same offense he did while he was there.
Very impressed with the nuance and the deep level of thought that is required to deliver this level of content! Thank you!
I'm not a watch sports on TV guy but your coverage, insight, and delivery of this man's career was very good. May your channel grow beyond your dreams. Great job. Good luck.
I remember when Denver signed him, I was actually excited which nobody says about punters. Then he kicked and I wasn't excited anymore lol
Right? It was like....ah, had enough. Don't like it here. I actually think he wanted out as soon as he got to Denver.
From what I've heard he had issues with the special teams coach. Apparently the coach was wanting him to punt a certain way or something like it was I guess a big change from what he had been doing
The special teams coach screwed up for sure, why mess with a good thing?
Yeah he sucked because Vance Joseph and our garbage Special Teams Coordinator wanted him to change his style of punting, then when he did he got hurt and they cut him. I will never understand the logic behind hiring VJ, especially when a guy like KYLE FUCKING SHANAHAN was available at the same time.
The NFL is like that tho, you can be loved one minute and a outcast the next. It's funny when you think about the dudes that's still get contracts season after season
@@Revealingstorm. What happens when you were top 7 guard. Not sure not but a couple of years ago he was
@@Revealingstorm. not really. He's really good at a really important position.
If Richie was a punter his career would have been over from the first scandal
I loved watching this guy kick and I laughed my ass off everytime he would clown on the other team after he booted the ball to the moon, I liked his swag
FlemLo is just dope at this. Editing, storytelling, and voice talent. Levels to content creation. I feel like this man can have a Hulu show.
@@garyhost354 so u cant compliment the dude without hearing some childish bs like that?
Ya I gotta hand it to him. just found his content a few days ago and it's high quality. He definitely could have a TV gig but that would be putting a ceiling over himself. He can do better than that. He don't have the benefit of a whole crew behind him and he's booming anyway.
Dude your videos are insane. Your story telling ability is absolutely incredible best I’ve ever seen!
He was awesome to watch he tried out for my cowboys but they didn’t sign him. Hopefully he gets another chance in the nfl or when the xfl starts back up
Cowboys suck at signing free agents. I wish they would have signed him man he's still got alot in his tank.
@@drewmow probably wanted to much cause they signed hunter niswander instead for like 2 year 1.3 mil
@@dustyrhodes2673 dang. We needed better defense and special teams for like 20'years now. I can't believe we paid Zeke and dak so much. Zeke is a RB which has been shown to be a dime a dozen in this league. Rookies can preform as good if not better than a 10 yr vet. And dak wasn't mobile enough for the QB position. We need a QB with touch on a long ball and better mobility.
@@drewmow I love how much they paid Zeke and Dak. It guarantees them being mediocre for years to come.
@@kalel33 this comment brought a tear to my eye. I root for the cowboys behind closed doors due to Jerry making terrible choices for years. Hired a real GM already. In basketball I root for the blazers who passed up on drafting MJ and KD so my teams need GM help for sure.
Ever since he stopped playing in the XFL the only place I've seen him is making UA-cam content with Deestroying. I like it
Thank you for mentioning him being a legends Raiders punter, he was great for the few years we had him !!!
Just found your videos a few days ago, and let me just say, great stuff! Digesting the backlog of videos now. Professional, informative, entertaining!!! I haven't watched regular TV in years because of content creators like you, who put out far superior content than anything on television. Keep that shit coming!!
He added so much excitement to the position, I loved watching him kick. I remember watching the game where it was 4th and 24. Bad snap, he thinks about kicking it for a split second and then just takes off for the first down. That kind of adaptability alone should earn him a spot in the league today
Your content is as good or better than anything I've seen on ESPN!!
I think the same thing every time I watch one of his videos. Would love to see him do a 30 for 30.
Way better than any sports analytics show other than Skip & Shannon
You know it’s gonna be a great Sunday when FlemLo uploads a banger 🔥🔥
He was one of the few punters that is known beside by team’s fan . He made punting/kicking look cool and always one of the few athletic kickers
This is an elite video essay & deserves more views. You got a sub from me, bro. Keep doin it big.
He recently came to my high school and talked to us and he was a very down to earth dude. So did Martavis Bryant
I went to fort valley with him. He’s a goofy guy, he doesn’t have a malicious vein in his body.
Yeah he's a cool dude. I ran into him in Phoenix couple weeks back.
" Some of this stuff just be basic"... No truer statement. Floored me Flemlo, lmao. Keep it up.
He was supposed to “Cue The Wayne” BEFORE the punt … not AFTER the punt !!!
3:27 man is giving out free wisdom on this channel. First time I’ve been here and I subscribed cause of this moment. Didn’t even finish the video yet.
I can tell you certainly spend time doing your research on these NFL players! I as a viewer appreciate that! Love your videos! They are so entertaining! “Que the Wayne!”
Went to the same college as king he came to our home coming game !!! He was cool as hell he use to give lessons to our punter who was a all American to
I actually trained with him at FVSU. We stayed in the same dorm and everything. He was the best punter I've ever seen in my life
@@jamespellegriniii3183 confidence and arrogance probably go hand in hand when you’re that talented/skilled
@@jamespellegriniii3183 I'm pretty sure he meant best he seen/been around in person. Yall too literal lol. But also King wasn't better than Shane Lechler. Ya kno, the guy he replaced.
Feels like the Broncos Special Teams coach's ego was trying to justify his job by changing King's technique.
Went to school with king and Ricardo Lockette at fort valley.....I graduated with king in 2012...he was always out there on the field kicking ....I trully can attest to that...his energy was always off the chain..he was the hype man!...between both of them making it in the NFL so close to each other ....it trully put fort valley on the map AGAIN...I haven't been back..idk what's going on now lol...
I was always so jealous of the raiders and them seeming to always have the best kicker/punter duo. I was always hoping that the Texans would’ve picked him up but it just never happened
Basically Shane Lechler and Janikowski. Since they were in the league for 100 years
Considering the fact the rest of their team was 🍑, you shouldn't have felt too bad bruh.
He’s the first punter I actually gave a shit about. I wish he still was playing. But it was nice while he was there.
Hell yeah. Pat Mcafee is the only other punter I focused on. There have been so many good punters but Marquette had swag like McAfee did and it sucks King ain’t in the league still
Bro you’ve got quality content, thanks for all you do! Que the Wayne!
King was a fan favorite! Real dude that showed appreciation to us the fans. He loved Oakland! As a Oakland native he is appreciated!
I have to admit I'm new to the channel, but I already know I'll be sticking around for some time. You narrate with a cool, level-headed professionalism without losing engagement, very chill, like you're just hanging out with people telling a really great story. That's a hard enough skill by itself, but to do it also with an honestly brilliant depth of football knowledge and historical accuracy is just something else altogether. Just absolutely excellent research work. I love learning this game (and everything else in life) in every form, and I love it when I run across someone who makes it fun and compelling to do. You got skills, man. Be keepin an eye on you.
"The old black punter in a pre-season game" 😂
Gotta feel like that didnt happen, acting like the NFL doesn't do scouting and the man was signed as a punter...come on now lol
@@bensmith8284 I mean he was undrafted and it’s like 32 teams with 70+ players during the preseason to say you’ll be able to name everyone who walks on the field is major 🧢
King’s rivalry with Travis Kelce was hilarious! I’ve seen king punt love and dude could bomb it!
"Some of this stuff be basic bruh" *sips water* LMAO FlemLo Raps for GM of the Broncos
Out of all FlemLo’s vids this one is the most inspirational yet.. Ty
After Reggie Roby I'm surprised any player would doubt a black man can punt. Roby played 16 years for Miami and was a beast. He would kick the ball a mile and his plant leg would never even come off the ground.
Marquette King proved that if you are good and have fun doing it, anything can be cool. King, McAfee, and Sepulveda are the 3 most entertaining punters to watch. We need more Punters with swag like King and McAfee
That coach in Denver ruined him by telling him to change his style.
I agree but King should have never came out in interviews and pods and blame the injury on that coach. NFL is weird like that. GMs, coaches and owners see it as a distraction. He probably is on a team if he kept quiet.
@@micahhayes8770 Yes, if you speak out or demonstrate not to their liking you're gone for sure, just look at Kapernick.
@@micahhayes8770 it’s not even that. It wasn’t gonna work out regardless. If he came back, then what? They needed to let him do him or find a different guy that played how they wanted yk? I mean he was right to call it out bc he was getting cut regardless. you can’t struggle and expect to stay on the team so I mean if I was him I would’ve talked to the coach after injury and say “ i need to go back to my style and do me” and if he said no I would’ve gone and said what happened to the media about the way they wanted him to, how he struggled, got hurt from it and then was denied to keep his old form. But I mean I guess it’s a personal opinion on what he should’ve done in that situation
@@micahhayes8770 It's not that they see it as a distraction as much as the NFL is and good old boys club. So coaches, teams, and the NFL its self do everything in their they can to keep that image of maintaining power.
Speaking out against the coach is throwing a rift in that power dynamic. Unless of course you're a superstar quarterback that is a generational talent.
@@dexm8846 Kaep was playing like shit when he decided to start speaking out, it’s already hard enough to be outspoken like that but you can’t do it while playing like shit.
AS SOON AS GRUDEN CUT KING I HAD NO FAITH IN HIM AS MY TEAMS COACH
Once again some information. I had no clue of. Always liked him as a player. Brought flare to the game. Dope video my guy. Keep it up.
I like your grammar corrections, shows how well written this is. With/of isn't even that big of a difference in the context, but you still edited the *with in... just perfectionist type shit, props.
I remember Marquette King from the Raiders he was a legend
Born and raised a raider fan and the dude used to crack me up. I remember him getting a flag for celebration and picking it up and dancing with it
As kid I used to create a kicker/punter on Madden so I could fake punt it and throw TD passes. I also used to sub myself in at QB and play multiple roles.. 🤣 King looked like that kinda punter
My man Flem hit with that Killing Them Softly clip had me rollin son
Just found your channel today and I've watched 6 of your videos in a row now... GREAT CHANNEL!!
Old guy falling down the Internet rabbit hole here. This vid is truly well done and gave me a great deep dive into M.King!!! Thanks for what you're doing...
Came across your video completely by random and I'm so glad I did, remember King when he was in the league and he was good fun. Enjoyed the video man, thank you.
I’m a Raiders fan since the 80’s and I’m from Ga. great piece fam frfr. The Nation gonna be up this year ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

He made being a Raiders fan easier lol glad to have had him on the team
Gruden had the two best kickers in the NFL and let them go . Great job grooden
Our Kicker was one of the best in the NFL last year who are you talking about and if King was so good he would be on Denver
Janikowski was an average kicker with a big leg, dude isn't even the top 25 all time in FG accuracy. King literally fizzled out the minute we cut him. Who TF cares
@@ROB-cj4kq he changed the TE and RB position and now look at them. Waller is a top 3 TE and Jacobs is a top 10 RB.
@@jakepowers7078 it was because he got hurt and Denver wanted him to change the way he kicks so I don’t get your point he was cut because of injury for changing his kicking routine
He thought his talent would land him anywhere but he forgot he’s a punter, they aren’t as sought after, it’s a shame too, I knew as soon as he said that Gruden line during the interview that he would be let go.
I love your videos man. I can watch this stuff all day while working..
More solid Flemlo content from the Prince of UA-cam Sports. Much love bro. Keep up the great work. Your positive outlook and positive vibe is something any person with a critical mind would happily point out as your #1 attribute as a friend.
yoooo finally been waiting for a video about this dude
“Some of this stuff be basic bruh” 😂😂 got me dead
Speaking of black punters Reggie Roby is my favorite punter of all time!
Hey FlemLo Raps, just saw this video on my suggestions. Video is sharply edited, Great job!
I loved this dude. I still have no idea why the Broncos didn’t keep him
Always liked King even when he cost us some yards. Bring him Back
Lol, just watched his Highlights one Week ago. That dude was a awesome player
The best punter ever had that swag too. He should still be playin.
@@BrianSky1 I was about to say the same thing, mcafee was a better punter and had more swag
Right off the bat, Shane Lechley, Ray Guy, and Pat McAfee are all better. King is good but not the GOAT at all.
You do great videos that I can actually watch the whole thing. Keep them up.
Last line was deep man. Great work as always. Keep it up.
I've always enjoyed what he brought to the game! He made watching punts fun.
King is like what I imagine deestroying would be at kicker in the league
Couldn’t have said it better myself. His personality is the reason he’ll never be in the league
@@CallMeMicahT wdym they both had a good personality just cause they are kickers doesn’t mean they can’t have an ego they are extremely good at what they do

As a Raider fan for my whole life I can say this man was our best player 2 years in a row. Kudos to him. Yikes, for the Raiders.
Knowing Marquette King's past and ability, I was shocked when I saw him on the roster of our St. Louis Battlehawks XFL team last year! Shocked and excited! I was pumped to see him live! But then boom, XFL gone, Battlehawks gone, Mr. King gone. Shame. Good video, my friend. -J. Striebel
Dude your videos are awesome. You got the insight and perspective, you always take the right angle on things. Keep them coming bro
You didn't include the interview where he made fun of Gruden, calling him a 'TV guy,' or something like that. Regardless of that, a guy has to know how to read the room.
Well, turns out the NFL room takes itself too seriously and doesn't have a sense of humor. I'm on King's side here.
Yup and not only that but when he went to the Raiders HQ and made a video outside basically mocking them.
