For real. Especially in 1991 when Falcons and Saints rivalry was really starting to get noticed. I’m born and raised in New Orleans also and a die hard Saints fan. Hated the Falcons but Deion was my guy so I was secretly cheering the Falcons. I was torn in between the two from 1989-93. Once prime left, it was like screw the Falcons😂.
No doubt Deion Sanders was special talent combined with brains & hard work. NFL fan since the 1970s. Sanders & Rod Woodson could change games. But Sanders had another gear when he touched the ball. Loved watching him high step 40 yards from the end zone. But everyone who played with Sanders said that he studied football just as hard as he worked in the field to be great. Love that he’s a winning coach now. Media doesn’t give him credit for his brains. He’s as rare a brain talent as he was a physical talent. It’s a shame men like have to get old because every generation needs to see how Prime Time played the game.
@@OneOut1 Bo Jackson doesn’t say anything. He wasn’t the best. I hear a lot about “if he hadn’t gotten hurt…” but he did. Being able to withstand the physicality is part of the equation.
It's bananas that they had Brett Favre just sitting there on ice as their 3rd string quarterback. Atlanta had the best corner in history, a quarterback that was about to win 3 straight MVP's, and let them both become legends somewhere else.
And how many rings does Glanville have??? THE 49ERS WERE FUN TO WATCH WITH JERRY RICE, JOHN TAYLOR, BRENT JONES, ROGER CRAIG, STEVE YOUNG, AND THE REAL GOAT JOE MONTANA BUT IF YOU {NOT YOU PERSONALLY, BUT ANYBODY} WOULD RATHER BE A FUN LOSER THAN A "DULL WINNER" THAT'S A PERSONAL CHOICE ...I GUESS!!
@@allmyteamssuck2706 I don’t care how good or bad a coach he was. I was talking about his character and defending his team no matter what other people thought.
His Gritz Blitz defense in the late 70's is pretty much the forefather of Buddy Ryan's 85 Bears defensive scheme with a wrinkle or two. Glanville was ahead of his time.
Yeah, but no happy ending. Everybody left and had success. Rison left and won a chip with Favre. Jordan had an exceptional full time baseball career. Everybody forgot what a great inside linebacker Jessie Tuggle was, he doesn’t even get mentioned at all. They’re just talking about Hip Hop and MC Hammer. We know Hammer rooted for Atlanta because his Oakland Raiders sold out to LA. They were too sold out to quit.
The '91 Falcons and Lions (Our only good team in The SB era) had the potential to be really really good teams but The NFC had 2 dynasties in SF and Washington and another on the way with Dallas. Between that and both organizations not really understanding how to maintain a championship team in culture and personnel, they just didn't have the staying power.
Saw Donovan McNabb juke him out of his shorts once. Sent him stumbling to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Lol. Sanders was good, but he was also an arrogant ass. That’s why I enjoyed that juke so much. Almost broke his ankles.
@@alienlife7754 everyone gets embarrassed when you play long enough this is the NFL you have to have an ego and extreme confidence to be at the elite level top 5 player ever IMO he is the GOAT even w Brady’s 7 rings he had a great coach and amazing kickers that made big time kicks w no credit because Brady got them to the half line or so 🤷🏾♂️ also Brady just plays one side of the ball
@@alienlife7754 I bet it was a older Deion and not prime Deion also you can say what you want about the man he talked it and went out there and backed it up on the field
Deion Sanders and Dominique Wilkins in Atlanta was insane good times!! People forget Prime Times baseball with the Braves! Man he was a great all around player!
I got lucky and got to see him play in SF for 1 season for the 49ers and brief stint with the Giants when I was a kid. Deion was my idol I thought he was so cool back then.
He played very well for the Braves. In fact if they had won in 1992 he would have easily been the consensus MVP. Hell he probably should have got the MVP even though the Braves didn't win as he had a legendary fall classic. Dude hit like .550, the Blue Jays just couldn't get him out.
This is a super must watch because it shows the Falcon's biggest issue. They can draft superstar players but yet they don't know how to plan for long-term success. And the Falcon's are like that today as well. Also they talked about how the Falcon's are cheap. Which is super true.
@@Slimdulla87 no he didn’t the game was already decided; it was scripted. Plus you gotta remember they do a lot of symbolism with these sports events, it’s bigger than simple “entertainment”
In 1991 I was in middle school in East Tennessee and Atlanta was a big deal up here in 1991. Prime, the braves, getting the Olympics, and Dominique Wilkins, We had a love affair with Atlanta and it's awsome to see all this again! Great documentary and it goes way beyond just football, this is fantastic!!!
Before school started all the students would go to the gym and wait for the 1st period bell to ring and there was multiple times our vice principal Dr. Tilly came in and had the whole student body do the Braves tomahawk chop before 1st bell rang, good memories for sure!
This was a great time in sports to be in Atlanta. The Falcons, Braves in the World Series, Georgia Tech football champions, and Evander Holyfield in boxing.
Oh yeah! I forgot about the early 90's Tech teams.... Both the Bobby Ross & Bobby Cremins football & b-ball teams.... Can't forget about the Lady Bulldogs for UGA.
Greatest uniforms of all time. Thanks Jerry and Prime for making them so fire and Also Vick later on. If only Brett would of ben serious and nfl was more like today where its a young mans game.
I remember when Chris Miller went to the Saint Louis rams 🐏 and was intercepted by Ken Norton who picked him off twice and took it to the house Meanwhile Favre was MVP and cooked the Niners in the playoffs
This is another lesson that talent doesn't always make a team. The early '90s Falcons were talented, but weren't a team. In contrast, the '98 Falcons weren't all that talented but were a team and went to the Super Bowl.
@@davidgalinat4257 "talent" is relative in football. Jamal Anderson is probably the MVP any other year from 1998-2004 except for 1998 and 1999 because of Terrell Davis and Kurt Warner's years. He ran for 1846 yards. Both of their WR's went over 1000 yards averaging basically 18 yards a catch (Tony Martin, Terrance Mathis). Chuck Smith, Jessie Tuggle, Eugene Robinson...all very good veteran players. Robinson's indiscretion gets a lot of the blame for their Super Bowl meltdown, but the reality is, they moved the ball up and down the field on the Broncos but flamed out in close FIVE TIMES. Three times in the first half had first and goal inside the 10 and ended up with a FG, FG, and missed FG. That's at least 3 and at most 15 points left on the field. Then Chandler's two KILLER INT's in the 3rd quarter with the score still 17-6 and in Denver territory and the last one after it was 24-6 on the Denver 25 ended the game. They gave that game away.
Weeeell there was a decade prior to the 90s that OWNED the airwaves and MTV my friend, it's called the Awesome 80s lol You may have been a 90s kid, so I get why youd say that lol I was born 1971, so I grew up during the 80s, so I'm a child of the 80s lol The 80s was one of the best decades for music, movies, pop culture and fashion (to a degree haha) It also spawned rhe inception of MTV in August of 1981
Washington was clearly the better team when the 2 teams played in both the regular season and the playoffs. That 1991 Redskins team is one of the most underrated teams in NFL History.
@@michaelhession2105 I'm not sure anybody that year was beating the 91 Skins. Throw in a bunch of rain, making it a sloppy track, and the Falcons' speed had no shot.
Also surprised they didn't mention Deion's combine shenanigans. Mans pulled up in an exotic car, did the 40 yard dash then left. I remember he talked about the Giants threw a big book down on the table and they wanted him to study it, he asked them what their draft pick was (I think 9 or 10) and he said they wouldn't have the chance to draft him. Deion never acted like a different person when it came to football. On the other hand though, when it came to baseball he adamantly said he wasn't Primetime, he was just Deion.
Why stop at European lol. No league in the world produces as much great content than NFL Films has. I don't think the EPL, NHL or whatever for example could pick out a team in the 90s and actually do a good documentary with mic'd up, HD, different angles outside of the regular broadcast angle etc. The difference is NFL Films actually filmed everything. I think it's mindblowing realizing when they were filming the 91 Falcons, they weren't planning to make a documentary nearly 30 years later. They just filmed it for the sake of history and they've been doing that since 1962. They've got so much footage saved they could make a documentary for nearly anything you can think of. NFL Films has been doing it for so long other leagues can't really catch up. They can try to imitate it of course. For example the MLB first mic'ing up players about 5 years ago...when NFL Films was celebrating 50 years of mic'd up (no joke). But they can't really make as high quality documentaries about players, teams and so on from the past cause a lot of these leagues have just grainy broadcast footage at best if they go back 20 years let alone 30 or even longer.
I remember that team well. My favorite memory is Jerry Glanville bringing out this tall a$$ trophy like a wrestling trophy during a press conference denoting the Falcons sweeping all their West Coast opponents that year. That was wild. Our HC folks.
A year later Bill Goldberg got drafted by the Falcons. I wish he came a season earlier so he could have been part of the 91 team and made the story more interesting.
Coach Prime is being a mentor and leader for everyone following. He's the bright light in this dark void where we just lost the great Mike Leach. Prime is coming.
I'm a longtime Chicago Bears fan circa 1985. But those late 80's to 1991 Atlanta Falcons were so exciting and fun to watch. I loved how the Falcons changed their helmets and home jersey tops to black. I still have two different Logo7 Falcon shirts to this day. I'll never put any team over the Bears. But those Falcons were fun to watch.
It really is neat to contrast how different they are. This one has interviews with all of the main players and some behind-the-scenes and other high quality footage while the SB one mostly has narrators reading quotes from articles and footage from the TV broadcasts. I haven't watched this one fully through yet but I'm pretty sure Glanville won't get as roasted/dissed on as he did in the SB one.
The Hawks last year had a similar kinda team with celebrities being involved especially when COVID ended. I'm only saying that because I'm a Bucks fan and we saw that on full display in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Hawks motto last year at times was also 2 Legit 2 Quit. They were even playing that song during a couple games in that series too.
What a time to be alive in Atlanta! Thank you Jerry Glanville,Deion Sanders , Andre Rison,Brett Favre and the Atlanta Falcons for the memories ! #2legit2quit4ever!
What happened they went from praying and praising the dancing and rejoicing to gay. Not gay and the righteous happy way from God but in a perverted way Man x have been twisted by the devil it's time to go to Jesus Christ in the spiritual warfare prayer closet. And plead to the Lord for Mercy to turn it around change people live in set these sinful captives free
dude you can just tell when a person has that much swag on and off the field and they love the game. you know they gon be special prime time baby Loved when Prime was a Dallas Cowboy
Man this was awesome times in the city growing up Between the Braves and the Falcons I remember the first nfl game I went to Deion ran the first kickoff for a TD been hooked ever since I bleed Red and Black # RiseUp 💯💯💯
@27:23 Just look how pissed off Prime was, when he couldn't take the ball coast to coast. That is on another level. Most guys are celebrating, when they get an INT at all. That dude man.
I had the privilege of moving to Atlanta from a little country town of Florence South Carolina there were ups and downs I have three grandsons in Atlanta I decided to move back home I didn't want to leave but it was necessary my daughter and my grandsons are still in Atlanta just a little sister now I'm all way back and forth every couple of months and I've always said if I ever hit the big one there is some nice property out in Mableton yes Cobb County that has my name on it. And as for prom I said it more than once I am his GFOAT. He was born to be great. I'm so proud of all he has accomplished what an absolutely great son and father. He is truly blessed and the GOAT.
Primetime has a really really good case for the most entertaining NFL player ever. He talked the talk and walked the walk, and he won Super Bowls. Best CB ever, one of the best returners ever and he played in the MLB?? Like that’s insane
Awesome episode. You got a little AtL hip - history as well thrown in there. Brings me back to my childhood seeing Sanders in those Falcons highlights. Man Neon Deion Sanders was and still is the best Corner to ever play the game. He was the reason i wanted to play football as a kid and it came from watching Deion on the football field. An i grew up far far way from ATL in Baltimore Maryland.
And that West Coast offense brought the Niners 5 Super Bowl wins, and is still basically the go-to offense in the NFL for teams that want to control the game from start to finish
1991 was my favorite year in the NFL. Something about it was just special and started a whole new Era for teams like the Falcons, Cowboys, Eagles, etc!!!!
Falcons were a joke from 1992-97 They didn’t win a single playoff game in that five year period It wasn’t until 1998 and they became a contender going to sb33 (Chandler at QB, Anderson at HB, Mathis at WR, Buchanan at CB, Whitfield at offensive tackle, Brooking at OLB, Tuggle at ILB) That 98 team was way better than 91.
Only in places like Atlanta, Detroit, and Cleveland would believe that a 10-6 team that got knocked out in the divisional round leaves a legacy in their towns. That's how bad things have been overall.
The coach was one in a million reminds me of my middle school coach. All he wanted was for us to have fun and do what we love. It doesn't make champions but builds character
I’m a raised Niner fan, but in the early 90’s those Falcon teams were so fun to watch. Deion and Tim McKyer both playing CB would take a game over. They would make a pick and do whatever they could to try and score a TD, throw it across the field, lateral behind them, anything to turn that pick into a TD. Hammer on the sideline, Deion dancing, Tim and Andre Rison talking smack to the camera, Andre was dating Left Eye from TLC, it was like a party every game. You never knew what was going to happen, how they were going to score unconventionally, is it going to be a punt return or all pick six. It was fun times and still the most fun team to watch.
This is my favorite team, and I didn't even know Favre was on this team until I bought a box of Score '91 fb cards, and it showed he was drafted by Atlanta. It was like the 1993-94 season & he's already starting for Green Bay by that time.
What's happening in Colorado right now is almost identical to this. It's no Chocolate City, but still wildly similar football-wise. We need to bring back 2 Legit 2 Quit
I'm glad that Deion, Brett and Andre all got Superbowl rings
Juuust NOT with the Falcons, unfortunately

I remember he talked about the Giants threw a big book down on the table and they wanted him to study it, he asked them what their draft pick was (I think 9 or 10) and he said they wouldn't have the chance to draft him.
Deion never acted like a different person when it came to football. On the other hand though, when it came to baseball he adamantly said he wasn't Primetime, he was just Deion.
Atlanta is a flashy city! The ‘91 Falcons gave ATL the identity
Man that was a fun time!!! During my college years. It was indescribable how it was in Atlanta at that time.
The good ole days. Deion was the man back then. And I do believe he is the one that brought that swag into the NFL. Cudous to him for being a beast
European Sports need to take note of quality content like this
Why stop at European lol. No league in the world produces as much great content than NFL Films has. I don't think the EPL, NHL or whatever for example could pick out a team in the 90s and actually do a good documentary with mic'd up, HD, different angles outside of the regular broadcast angle etc. The difference is NFL Films actually filmed everything.
I think it's mindblowing realizing when they were filming the 91 Falcons, they weren't planning to make a documentary nearly 30 years later. They just filmed it for the sake of history and they've been doing that since 1962. They've got so much footage saved they could make a documentary for nearly anything you can think of.
NFL Films has been doing it for so long other leagues can't really catch up. They can try to imitate it of course. For example the MLB first mic'ing up players about 5 years ago...when NFL Films was celebrating 50 years of mic'd up (no joke). But they can't really make as high quality documentaries about players, teams and so on from the past cause a lot of these leagues have just grainy broadcast footage at best if they go back 20 years let alone 30 or even longer.
@@korrasmuscles nfl owes sabel alot.
I remember that team well. My favorite memory is Jerry Glanville bringing out this tall a$$ trophy like a wrestling trophy during a press conference denoting the Falcons sweeping all their West Coast opponents that year. That was wild. Our HC folks.
I never knew Brett played with the falcons that’s crazy lol
I got a rookie card of his where he's wearing an ATL jersey.
Me either
Missed the team pic that’s why
A year later Bill Goldberg got drafted by the Falcons. I wish he came a season earlier so he could have been part of the 91 team and made the story more interesting.
Man it’s gonna be a big ass Party in Colorado!🔥🔥🔥
Coach Prime is being a mentor and leader for everyone following. He's the bright light in this dark void where we just lost the great Mike Leach. Prime is coming.
I'm a longtime Chicago Bears fan circa 1985. But those late 80's to 1991 Atlanta Falcons were so exciting and fun to watch. I loved how the Falcons changed their helmets and home jersey tops to black. I still have two different Logo7 Falcon shirts to this day. I'll never put any team over the Bears. But those Falcons were fun to watch.
First SB did a timeline of Atlanta, and now NFL is doing their take. What a watch!
It really is neat to contrast how different they are. This one has interviews with all of the main players and some behind-the-scenes and other high quality footage while the SB one mostly has narrators reading quotes from articles and footage from the TV broadcasts. I haven't watched this one fully through yet but I'm pretty sure Glanville won't get as roasted/dissed on as he did in the SB one.
91 Falcons were exciting!! #21 Best to play his position
The Hawks last year had a similar kinda team with celebrities being involved especially when COVID ended. I'm only saying that because I'm a Bucks fan and we saw that on full display in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Hawks motto last year at times was also 2 Legit 2 Quit. They were even playing that song during a couple games in that series too.
What a time to be alive in Atlanta! Thank you Jerry Glanville,Deion Sanders , Andre Rison,Brett Favre and the Atlanta Falcons for the memories ! #2legit2quit4ever!
What happened they went from praying and praising the dancing and rejoicing to gay. Not gay and the righteous happy way from God but in a perverted way Man x have been twisted by the devil it's time to go to Jesus Christ in the spiritual warfare prayer closet. And plead to the Lord for Mercy to turn it around change people live in set these sinful captives free
@@livefree316 what drug are you on! I made a comment about a football team! Not a microcosm!
Imagine how many taunting calls this team would get in today’s NFL.
Uncountable 💀
More taunting penalties than tackles
Image life without rule breakers or someone being their own person. And here we are in present day,sucks doesnt.
Unimaginable
i wish football was still like this
dude you can just tell when a person has that much swag on and off the field and they love the game. you know they gon be special
prime time baby
Loved when Prime was a Dallas Cowboy
Got me binge watching these.
6:35 & 38:53
The way he said SCA-RED😁
I remember this team very well...D. Green said it best...'91 Falcons were flashy, but old school football wins games.
Darrell Green is a legend. A humble legend too.
I guess the 2019 chiefs disproved that sadly. No look sidearm pass meme guy won over the old school football 49ers.
Not anymore
Mahomes disproves this notion
He’s best quarterback in football 🏈 and the leader of the new school 🏫
NFL Film always makes great videos
Man this was awesome times in the city growing up Between the Braves and the Falcons I remember the first nfl game I went to Deion ran the first kickoff for a TD been hooked ever since I bleed Red and Black # RiseUp 💯💯💯
@27:23 Just look how pissed off Prime was, when he couldn't take the ball coast to coast. That is on another level. Most guys are celebrating, when they get an INT at all. That dude man.
I had the privilege of moving to Atlanta from a little country town of Florence South Carolina there were ups and downs I have three grandsons in Atlanta I decided to move back home I didn't want to leave but it was necessary my daughter and my grandsons are still in Atlanta just a little sister now I'm all way back and forth every couple of months and I've always said if I ever hit the big one there is some nice property out in Mableton yes Cobb County that has my name on it. And as for prom I said it more than once I am his GFOAT. He was born to be great. I'm so proud of all he has accomplished what an absolutely great son and father. He is truly blessed and the GOAT.
Saints fan, I love our rivalry, great documentary!
I really enjoyed this video,wish the NFL were still like this today.😁😁
Primetime has a really really good case for the most entertaining NFL player ever. He talked the talk and walked the walk, and he won Super Bowls. Best CB ever, one of the best returners ever and he played in the MLB?? Like that’s insane
The most fun I've ever seen a team have.Also Sanders and Rison and Haynes were some of the fastest players in the league.
Can’t believe they traded Brett Favre, now I understand they had a different system, but that doesn’t excuse the team for trading two future HOFers
Seeing Favre throw a TD pass to Rison in that Super Bowl vs the Pats was the ultimate slap in the face to Falcons fans
He was a heavy partier and he needed to go to a place like Green Bay to focus on the game he said so himself
...wait whos the second one?
@@HipsterShiningArmor probably Andre Rison 🤷🏼
@@paulyd2406 Rison isn't in the HOF, and the Falcons didn't trade him, he signed as a free agent with the Browns
“I rather take a stick in the eye than to watch bill Walsh offense” 😂😂😂
Awesome episode. You got a little AtL hip - history as well thrown in there. Brings me back to my childhood seeing Sanders in those Falcons highlights. Man Neon Deion Sanders was and still is the best Corner to ever play the game. He was the reason i wanted to play football as a kid and it came from watching Deion on the football field. An i grew up far far way from ATL in Baltimore Maryland.
"the NFL stands for not for long if you keep making those calls" if only he knew what refs in 2010- now are like 🤣
Just the referees? Not the other officials on the field?
Fun fact: nobody has liked officiating ever in the history of sports.
@@mae2759 on that note, you think a king ever beheaded ref because of a missed call? 🤣🤣
It’s always been like that
Poor Andre Rison… Left Eye Lopes burnt his house down only a few years later 🤦♂️
Andre Rison is still alive and Left Eye Lopez is gone
She was only looking for her contact lens
What’s nuts was Bad Moon stayed with her after that. 🤦♂️
@@damienkirksey7026 … I’m aware! But that was a really nice house she burnt down though still 😓
Man he was whooping her ass 🤦♂️
Jerry Glanville: _"I rather take a stick in the eye than watch Bill Walsh's offense"_
Walsh has 3 super bowl rings . How many do you have Jerry?
Greatest comment ever!!!
Coaches rather lose their way than win someone else’s way
Not the point dummy
Jerry got 3 sticks in the eye
And that West Coast offense brought the Niners 5 Super Bowl wins, and is still basically the go-to offense in the NFL for teams that want to control the game from start to finish
Dude it was such a pleasure watching Primetime play live....You gotta see how teams never threw his side.
Except when they played Washington because the 91 Redskins were just a buzzsaw that didn't care for the Falcons' fun.
Rypken throwing to Clark bombs 💣 away
1991 was my favorite year in the NFL. Something about it was just special and started a whole new Era for teams like the Falcons, Cowboys, Eagles, etc!!!!
As a Washington and Hammer fan back in the day it was hard to see him with Atlanta so much but so happy at the end of that wonderful season.
ATL was Lit af in the 90s. Falcons, Braves, Freaknik, Lefteye burning down Rison house and not giving af. That was the original Love and HipHop😂😂😂
Falcons were a joke from 1992-97
They didn’t win a single playoff game in that five year period
It wasn’t until 1998 and they became a contender going to sb33 (Chandler at QB, Anderson at HB, Mathis at WR, Buchanan at CB, Whitfield at offensive tackle, Brooking at OLB, Tuggle at ILB)
That 98 team was way better than 91.
I’ll always love Deion for coming out of retirement to play for the Ravens.
37 years old #37
This man dion trash talk is on another level but he ain’t gotta cuss at you that’s how you know he smart to
Not to mention, the falcons had one of the greatest announcers back then.
Only in places like Atlanta, Detroit, and Cleveland would believe that a 10-6 team that got knocked out in the divisional round leaves a legacy in their towns. That's how bad things have been overall.
It was how entertaining and thr talent they had brah you tripping
when the world wasnt soft, literally squared up mid game and refs let them keep playing
Big facts
Never again
#FACTS
The coach was one in a million reminds me of my middle school coach. All he wanted was for us to have fun and do what we love. It doesn't make champions but builds character
He said, "His rappin' wasn't that tight." I died. 😆🤣😂🤣😆
41:08 The equipment manager dancin' is awesome, I remember that well back in 1991!!
I’m a raised Niner fan, but in the early 90’s those Falcon teams were so fun to watch. Deion and Tim McKyer both playing CB would take a game over. They would make a pick and do whatever they could to try and score a TD, throw it across the field, lateral behind them, anything to turn that pick into a TD. Hammer on the sideline, Deion dancing, Tim and Andre Rison talking smack to the camera, Andre was dating Left Eye from TLC, it was like a party every game. You never knew what was going to happen, how they were going to score unconventionally, is it going to be a punt return or all pick six. It was fun times and still the most fun team to watch.
Facts. Deion even played a lil at WR because they knew their Offense was a dumpster fire at QB.
@@estebanq.urkelthevxiith8495 I forget, was Jeff GEORGE the QB?
Glanville's California Trophy didn't age too well in 1992. 49ers swept the Falcons by lopsided scores even before Deion signed..
There is nothing on this earth that Eric Dyson loves more than hearing himself speak! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!
Good documentary on my favorite my team falcons and I always was a Hammer fan even though people said he couldn't rap his fashion and dancing was hot.
This masterpiece and the Secret base series made me chose the Falcons as my team in the NFL.
You forget that Brett Farve was a backup QB for this team 😂😂😂
Not even he third string lol
This is my favorite team, and I didn't even know Favre was on this team until I bought a box of Score '91 fb cards, and it showed he was drafted by Atlanta. It was like the 1993-94 season & he's already starting for Green Bay by that time.
What's happening in Colorado right now is almost identical to this. It's no Chocolate City, but still wildly similar football-wise. We need to bring back 2 Legit 2 Quit
It is interesting how differently people look at Deion & Brett now compared to then. We do love Deion now that’s for sure!😊
Loved him then
These guys were the guys I watched on sunday as a kid. Its cool seeing documentaries on this time
