Seriously laughing out loud in pure joy from this man's genuine curiosity and subtly hilarious commentary. Greatest duo ever, may they both rest in peace 🕊
Leave it to Pat and John to get to the bottom of how they smuggled the hot dogs onto the field....then add them into Kennedys stats!🤣...the 2 best broadcasters to ever do it!
And coach Erickson commanded the players, saying, Of every dish in the pre-game buffet thou mayest freely eat: But of the hot dog vendor, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely be fined.
What was the rationale for the fine? Today it seems totally normal for players to eat on the sideline, especially in a preseason game. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen baseball players get handed food by training staff in the dugout and no one seems to mind.
I think the rationale was they didn't want ayers throwing up during the game which is why they didn't want people eating in the sideline as John Madden mentioned there stomachs could get upset. I thought I read somewhere that's why they got rid of smoking and eating on the sidelines back then.
We have the sickest OG jerseys in the game, my god those blue and silver jerseys are just too OP!!! So glad my hawks brought them back this past season

@@Wayne-tk5mx Wasn't this the very first fox NFL preseason game in 1994, too ? I seem to remember it being on a Saturday night and Joey Galloway caught a long touchdown.
I used to buy two cheeseburgers for halftime , in high school and college! I was eating 5 times a day during the season just to keep my weight up !😊😊😊😊
I went to a Seahawk game once and eat a hotdog and got the worst food poisoning I've ever had in my life! So when he said he's gonna get sick he ain't lying!
So is Tez.... lol In Maddens HOF Speech He talks about the Busts conversating at night. BOTH are in the HOF. It was a comment on Maddens Comment about the Busts Comments. @@grayuda1350
Classic Madden when he starts analyzing the time they would have had their pre game meal, what time it is currently, should they be hungry. Then, of course, he uses his pen to circle the helmet with the hot dog.
I remember watching that game it was actually on Tv, Before satellite 📡 was around! Go hawks! John Madden was definitely one of the best. He never liked flying I still Remember when John Madden did the Monday night games he would travel on his buss I believe it was called the horse trailer.
Why is his even a big deal? Baseball players eat all the time. Pretty surr Ive seen Manny Ramirez put a hot dog in back pocket and take it to Left Field
Just dudes having fun. Nowadays it would be a big scandal. NFL would fine them all $25,000, and ESPN talking heads would be screaming at each other about this for a week, whether Mirer and Kennedy are committed to the team, etc 😂
Actually the fact that they felt like they had to hide it is a bad look for the "toughness" that was apparently present in the previous generation. I see old heads whining about the tiniest issues all day long on social media. They be eating candy come on man i tried to take the high road but idk the address. We got to this place because of the previous generation being just as weak and indoctrinated by the system. Shit started in the 20s.
I like the playing on the baseball dirt, too. You don't see that much if at all anymore. I can't imagine what I'd give to be transported back to '95, but it would be high...very high.
It was a fun time...but I remember how much more fun it got in 99 once online gaming came into play and I didn't have to just play the same 3 kids in the neighborhood
Madden and Sumerall’s voices bring back so many memories. I can remember watching them and panicking because the next day was school and I hadn’t done whatever project was assigned.
Rick Mirer was the 2nd overall pick of the '93 draft, played 8 seasons for 5 different teams, threw more ints than TDs in 6 of those seasons, and finished with a career passer rating of 63.5. Probably a coincidence.
John Madden and Pat Summerall were the best! especially the Brett Favre games. There was a great game when Madden spotted Packers backup quarterback John McMahon grabbing a Bratwurst from the press area.
Madden playing the investigator during a NFL game is classic! Nowadays we just get to see TSwift and hear Troy Aikman try and pretend to be unbiased during a Dallas game.
I remember this.Now,from what I understood was that the players don't eat alot before a game because of nerves and excitement and that kills their appetite and/or,if players eat before the game,when they get tackled,they will sometimes poop themselves when they get hit hard and that has happened alot.

Madden knew when a game was boring and that was when he shined.
Preseason game
2 tackles & 3 batted balls + 2 dogs
Yeah that line was pure Madden.
heee
😂

@rowdyjr2318Pat Summerall also.
Glad he passed before kneeling for the anthem
@@All4mula He didn't... Madden died in 2021, the kneeling started around 2016. Though Madden would likely be on the player's sides.

"they don't have anything to wash it down with" lmao. I love that he mentions that before fines.
1:35 lol and 1:41 fines
just before 1:23 they're gonna be sick very shortly

No sneaking food around Madden. He knows better
taking down a dry glizzy on the sideline with no bev is outrageous
Madden was a treasure
And Pat
The Hawks uniforms were hot fire!
Was thinking the same thing those throwbacks are sick AF !
Pretty much sums up rick mirer whole football career.
Protected the hot dog more than the football 🏈
This was pretty much the point when everyone started figuring out he wasn't it.

Facts 💯... Make em the regular uniforms again... Legion of boom jerseys are played out IMO
They are sick AF
Me too. Just wish the Seahawks would bring these uniforms back permanently. Just never could get used to the new ones.
Madden is the biggest icon in football history and nobody will touch his legacy💜

@@skeezix8156I think Gelbaugh was still on the Seahawks roster up until 1996. Stouffer and McGwire I believe were long gone by that point.
I never got over Maddens retirement. He was a bigger part of my NFL experience than the football itself.
This was from a preseason game and I think Rick Mirer got fined for it.

At Candlestick it was mandatory to stuff at least four hot dogs down your pants for warmth.

Fun fact….Rick Mirer actually sells hot dogs now.
They way they put 2 dogs as a statistical number 😂
Obviously a preseason game since Seattle was an AFC team then and Fox could only air NFC road games back in those days.
Very very interesting. I never knew that. You probably have so much knowledge in regards to how much have changed then compare to now
Either a turducken or a hot dog, you always heard Madden fitting in a food reference during the game😂. They was the goat and nothing even comes close.
Are they wearing Starter jackets???
Everyone was wearing starter jackets then
