HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- In a 1985 NFL game between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, QB Joe Theismann celebrated his 36th birthday in just about the worst way possible, as he threw five interceptions and got benched as Washington lost by 30 points in front of a nationally televised Monday Night Football audience. This is the story of the worst birthday in the history of the National Football League

Between this game and the career-ending broken leg later that year, 1985 was a nightmare for Theismann.
He was 36 that season which was considered ancient for a QB back then and had twice as many picks as TDs so the broken leg might've actually been merciful all things considered believe it or not.
@@DolFan316 so you wished a broken leg on him. Wow pretty mean.
@@satanspit4101 Only a millennial SJW far leftist sheep would twist what I said that far out of context but hey, whatever. And your side's supposed to hate straight white males anyway so why would you even care?
Theismann was an arrogant sob the entire NFL didn't care for him alot of players were kinda happy when mr.taylor got rid of him for good
@@DolFan316 hahahaha you’re so pressed
Remember this game and actually found it again on YT! Watched it live in DC, and as a life-long Cowboy fan, is one of my favorite games in the rivalry!!
Did you ever notice this about RFK Stadium? In baseball configuration, looking from above center field, it looks like a toilet.
Recorded this on VHS. Still have it!!
Is it really a JaguarGator9 video if he doesn't say, "(Insert player name) had a (insert terrible passer rating), which is worse than if you did nothing but spike the ball to the ground on every single play."
And then the Cowboys would lose the next week to the Lions, falling behind 26-0, and despite racking up over 500 yards of offense, eventually losing 26-21. Very typical of the late Landry-era Cowboys.
Landry let defense get old, that why the felled off in mid 80's. No free agency it was hard to rebuild.
@@erickennedy5993 Didn't draft well either. Gil Brandt's computer got a virus I reckon.
@@tombriggs9259 By then everybody got caught up to Brandt. Everybody had computers.
Should have been 7 ints. Would have matched his number
Suggestion for a future video: the careers of the two 1970s receivers named Gene Washington. Eerily similar.
I was thinking of one about Antonio Brown the Redskins receiver in the 2000s, although hardly similar to his namesake
The 49ers Gene Washington had more prolonged success than the Vikings one but their peaks as pro bowlers were similar and almost simultaneous. When you google the name the top image result is actually a picture of the Vikings Gene Washington for both guys.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx He finished his career in Denver. I even used to have his 1974 Broncos card. The 49ers Gene Washington is a borderline HOFer. In the same league with Harold Jackson, Harold Carmichael, Cliff Branch and Issac Curtis.
" . . . and finished the game with a passer rating of 32.3, which is worse than if you did nothing but spike the ball into the ground on every single play." Ah, yes: How did I know that was coming.
He should make that a shirt
@@erickennedy5993 Yes!!! I'd buy one!
Joe Theismann would've been better off if he spiked the ball into the ground on every single play.
Especially in 1985! ;)
To put it in context...
Yeah it's one thing to just have a bad game, but when the entire city of Dallas is basically like "Lol hope you're enjoying your birthday, you clown" to the point where even the ORGAN PLAYER is joining in...I bet Theismann would've rather suffered the LT hit than receive this "gift."
Eight years later they would destroy the Packers on Favre's 24th, must have been a thing
For whatever reason, I've always thought of Theismann as a QB from the 80's. Then you remember he was already starting back in the 70's.
@Fries You forgot about this time in the CFL. He actually led the Toronto Argonauts to the Grey Cup championship game in his first season.
Joe Theismann worst day ever is when LT broke his leg ending his career.
So saying 1985 (especially Monday nights) wasn't a good year for Joe would be an understatement
BTW you should do a video about how Cardinals coach Jim Hanifan was fired during the last game of the 1985 against the Washington Redskins by having the locks changed to his office during halftime. Thanks to Bill Bidwell.
Bidwill did the same thing to Don Coryell in 1978. Part of the reason why the Cardinals have never had a postseason streak of longer than two years since moving to St Louis in 1960.
My mind is blown that is video hasn't been done already 😲
Ah, Bill Bidwill epitomizing class (/sarcasm).
My brother and I went to that game. Enjoyed ever minute. Singing happy birthday to O'Joe just topped it off!
At least it wasn't that MNF game at RFK vs. the Giants, so as bad as this night was, things didn't take a turn for the worse until later that season.
Yeah that season he could not buy a break. Hey LT how is it going.
Throw 5 picks on your birthday and THEN have your career ended a couple months later, no, 36 was not a good year.
And lets not forget Jay Schroeder threw a pick six also!!
As a Raiders fan, the mention of Jay Schroeder makes me feel queasy.
Beating the Theismann 'Skins... Best Unbirthday ever.
As a redskins fan, this is when I knew he was so vain not to wear glasses. His career was on the down hill before the injury.
Still better than that Giants game. Yikes
All the guys in 6th grade were talking about it the next day, as only kids that age can. (Did you SEE Joe Theismann break his leg? The BONE was sticking out! It was AWESOME!)
FYI then unknown Jay Schroeder eventually replaced Theismann in that game and threw ANOTHER interception, giving the Cowboys six to start off the 1985 season.
Also FYI, in the game before Theismann's last ever NFL game (the LT broken leg game), the Cowboys visited RFK and won 13-7, as Theismann tossed another 3 picks and was sacked 5 times by Cowboys DE Jim Jeffcoat
Yeah, for a really good quarterback, that was just a historically bad game...and a bad birthday, for sure
1. That arguably wasn’t even Theismann’s second-worst moment of the season. You mentioned the worst. Theismann also had to fill in as a punter in Chicago and got off a one-yard punt later that year.
2. The unofficial Official Jag...will remind everyone you made another video about the Washington-Detroit game from 1979.
3. Take a drink at 7:27!
85 was not good year for Joe
Theismann's one yard punt occurred in that Bears game. Theismann also criticized Bears QB Jim McMahon about being a poor role model, to which Mac replied, "I don't respond to anyone who can't punt a football more than one yard."
You need some context
Here's one of Joe's worst moments. The Night before the Super Bowl against the Raiders, the Redskins are sequestered in their hotel. Mrs Theismann, knocks on the door to say goodnight, and Joe's with Cathy Lee Crosby. I seemed to recall, he sucked in that Super Bowl.
Hey get it right it was a 2 yard punt. You cut his average in half!
You absolutely have to do a video on the final week of the 1988 season...December 18th 1988 and in particular the games between the Green Bay Packers and Phoenix Cardinals at Sun Devil Stadium and the Cowboys playing at Philly against the Eagles....its the game that nobody realizes changed the course of NFL history forever. The Packers and Cowboys both went into that game with a 3-12 record, but the Packers would have wound up with the number 1 pick in the following draft if both teams finished with identical records. So if the Packers lost they would get the number one pick, if they won and the Cowboys lost the Cowboys would get the top pick. The Cowboys lost to the Eagles 23-7, but the hapless Packers inexplicably beat the Cardinals 26-17, forfeiting the number one pick to the Cowboys. The Cowboys drafted Aikman and the Packers made one of the worst choices in draft history taking Tony Mandarich. If Green Bay loses to the Cardinals that final week they undoubtedly would have taken Aikman, changing the course of NFL history. For Green Bay, they would have had their man at quarterback for the next decade, meaning we likely never would have seen Brett Favre in a Packers uniform. This leads to so many intriguing what if's.
Would Ron Wolf and Mike Holmgren ever come to Green Bay or would Aikman have thrived in Lindy Infante's offense?
Would a young Aikman have lost his confidence playing fir an abysmal organization like Green Bay was before Ron Wolf's arrival as GM?
If Holmgren did come to Green Bay what kind of numbers would Aikman have put up in a more QB friendly system like the west coast offense? Would Aikman have put up Favre like numbers, or maybe even better?
Would we have ever heard of Brett Favre or would he have fizzled out on the bench in Atlanta who had no confidence in him whatsoever. Favre was in dire need of a change of scenery and better coaching...would he have ever gotten it?
How many Super Bowls would an Aikman led Packers team have won, would his career have been better or worse in Green Bay?
And what about Dallas? They are on record as admitting that they too were fooled by the Mandarich hype and absolutely loved him going into the draft going as far as to say some personnel men were divided as to who would be the top pick, Aikman or Mandarich. So what if they drafted Mandarich, how far would a pick like that have set back the organization? Jimmy Johnson loved his former University of Miami quarterback Steve Walsh so much that he drafted him in the following Supplemental draft with a number one pick and was torn between him and Aikman early on before having to finally admit Aikman was clearly the more gifted player. BUT.....
What if the Cowboys had the number two pick and didn't get to draft Aikman...would they have been committed to Steve Walsh as their franchise quarterback and if so how would he have done in that role...could Walsh...surrounded by the same talent Aikman was surrounded by, game managed the Cowboys well enough to put them in Super Bowl contention?? If not, once the Cowboys realized how limited Walsh was arm talent wise, who would have wound up as the quarterback of the Cowboys in the early and mid 90's? Would Jimmy Johnson have survived as head coach if Walsh struggled as the starter??
Another major what if is what if Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson seen through the Mandarich hype and instead went another direction with the 2nd overall pick in the 1989 draft....say the direction of south as in Oklahoma State and their Heisman Trophy winning running back BARRY SANDERS!!!!!
What could Barry Sanders have done running behind that legendary Great Wall of Dallas offensive line that was to come...the one that carried Emmitt Smith to the all time rushing record. What could the clearly more talented Sanders have done behind that offensive line?? How many 2,000 yard seasons would Sanders have accumulated?? Would he and not Emmitt Smith now be the NFL all time leading rusher?? Could Sanders have wound up with 20,000 career yards, and would that have been enough to still lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl or two even without Aikman?? And what would have become of Emmitt Smith?? The year he was drafted he was taken 17th overall, one pick ahead of two Green Bay Packers first round selections...one of which was a running back Darrell Thompson. What if the Cowboys already had Barry Sanders and gone a different direction in that draft, leaving the Packers with the option to select Emmitt instead of Thompson. Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith could have wound up as teammates after all....just much further north in Titletown!!
I know how long this comment is...but I've only scratched the surface of the numerous WHAT IF'S that go with the result of these two games, the future of so many legendary players would have been enitrely different if Green Bay had lost that game as was expected....players like obviously Troy Aikman, but also maybe Barry Sanders or even Derrick Thomas or Deion Sanders who were also in that 1989 draft class and could have been the Cowboys choice at two if they passed on Mandarich. Plus the future of players coahces and GM's like Brett Favre, Emmitt Smith, Jimmy Johnson, Mike Holmgren, Ron Wolf, Steve Walsh, Don Majkowski, Michael Irvin, Sterling Sharpe and others would have been entriely different. Could Michael Irvin had been Michael Irvin without Troy Aikman throwing him the ball? How amazing would an Aikman to Sterling Sharpe combination have been in the early 90's?? And where in the world would Brett Favre have wound up??
Green Bay at Phoenix and Dallas at Philadelphia on December 18th 1988...12/18/88....the day that forever changed the future of the NFL forever!!!
I'd love to discuss this with you if you'd like to talk about it further and consider it for a future video, I've done extensive research on this subject and written for a few NFL websites in the past. If you'd like to contact me, please reply to this comment and I can give you my email address. Either way I really hope you consider this for a topic of one of your videos, all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. I think this subject is perfect for you and your format. Thanks for your time
That’s part of my Butterfly Effect that ends with the Eagles winning Super Bowl 52.
1. I think if the Packers drafted Aikman Number 1 then the Cowboys would have most likely taken Derrick Thomas Number 2. That still causes the dominoes to fall differently than they actually did.
2. Technically the Cowboys hosted the Eagles in the season finale.
Pack could have taken either of the h of fame sanders barry or dion as well. But dumb pack fell for the overhype of the self-proclaimed incredible bulk I mean bust Mandarich. The guy was all roids and still his ass couldn't contain the top pass rushers. And what if boys ended up two and took dion instead? He ended up playing for boys anyway saying it was his dream to be a boy.
Theismann's last name was pronounced THEES-man his entire life until his senior year at Notre Dame in 1970. The pronunciation change was orchestrated in order to give him a better chance at winning the Heisman, hence the "Theismann for Heisman" phrase was born.
Theismann placed second in the voting behind Jim Plunkett of Stanford, and the pronunciation stuck ever since. Actually, Joe called his grandmother (who was German) and inquired about his name. She told him the name was correctly pronounced TICE-man instead of what he had known his entire life.
It's ironic that Plunkett won the Heisman while Theismann placed second. Of eligible players, Plunkett is the only QB with two Super Bowl wins who is not a member of the NFL Hall of Fame, and Theismann is the only QB with a Super Bowl win and an NFL MVP award not in the HOF. Makes no damn sense to me!
Well done. I didn't see your post and just posted something on exactly this. Lame and arrogant on Joe and ND's part, IMHO.
It's an annagram for _'Is The Mann'_
Plunkett never really had any consistency. I think he was a back up during part of the 1980 season. And in 1983 he was in and out of the line up and it was pretty much Marcus Allen running the ball tgat season.
This game was the beginning of the end for Joe Theismann. After playing incredibly well from 1982 to 1984, his production dropped considerably in 1985. There were calls in Washington to bench Theismann and start Jay Schroeder, but Joe Gibbs stayed loyal to Theismann given the three straight playoff berths, two Super Bowl appearances, a world title, and an MVP award. LT though made the decision for Gibbs. After Theismann got hurt, Schroeder went 5-1 to end the year. Washington went 10-6, but missed the playoffs, leading people to wonder if Washington would have made the playoffs had Gibbs went with Schroeder sooner.
Ironically, the only loss in that span under Schroeder was a 35-8 pasting by the 49ers. Which gave the 49ers the last wild card, since they won the head-to-head tiebreaker because of that win.
Suggestion for a future video. Barefoot kickers in the '80s. What was that all about?
Nice one
Tony Franklin of the Eagles was the first one in 1979. At least in the Modern Era. Had a cannon for a foot, but was a bit inconsistent, at times.
God I love that era for the Cowboys!! Thurman's Thieves!!!! GREAT stuff!
A well done video! I personally first started getting into football with this season, so any history around this time or before is always great. I would also like to see a video on the season in the early 90's where the NFL actually used two bye weeks for each team.
1993!
7:04 "Four picks for Theismann, an absolute disaster of a birthday. Want to see it become a bigger disaster? Of course you do. That's why you clicked on the video." 😊
The early 80s Cowboys vs Redskins rivalry was my introduction to football.
(I was 8 yrs old in 1980).
Landry vs Gibbs
D.White vs Theisman
Dorsett vs Riggins
Too tall Jones, The Hogs, Randy White, Art Monk, Charlie Brown, Drew Pearson, Tony Hill, Darrell Green, Mark Moseley and many many more.
What a fantastic rivalry.
Then the 49ers entered the mix. Both Dallas and Wash faced S.F. in the NFC championship game in the early 80s. Some HUGE, intensely competitive games between the 3 teams.
1985 was not kind to Joe was it, giants awaiting
As much as I despise Washington (being a Cowboys fan, obviously), I'm glad you did not show that LT hit on Theismann. I saw it once, and I NEVER want to see that again.
Theismann has been in a lot of your videos
Also my brother and I went to the Bears game too (44-0). It wasn't that close the Bears could had put up 70 on the Cowboys!
1985 wasn't kind to Joe. IN fact 1985 suckered punched him at every opportunity it could
Karmic justice for knocking the ball out of Kim Bokamper's hands in the Super Bowl and robbing my team of a TD, *MUAHAHAHA!!!*
J/K What happened to him that season was going too far the other way.
@@DolFan316 You shouldn't wish an injury like that to anyone. And that defensive play by Theismann against Miami in Super Bowl XVII is one of the best plays I've EVER seen a QB make. It may have won the game for Washington.
Insert Jay Schroeder and he tosses a pick-6 to Dennis Thurman to cap the evening.
You beat me to it
Spot the Gabbert at 7:33
Wasn't 1985 the year where Joe Thiesmann's play just fell off a cliff? I know his career ended against the Giants that season, but even before that game he wasn't playing well I think?
This, the game the next week against the Oilers he got cracked (wanted to say Robert Brazile but think he retired by then), the Bears massacre, and finally LT
Yeah Joe T finished w 8 TDs and 16 ints and mediocre completion % and YPA
@@misterresister8271 And he was 36 at a time when that was ancient for a QB instead of still being their prime so he wouldn't have gotten any better at that point.
Kurt Waner is in the Hall and Eli , but Q.B. like Randall Cunningham and Joe Thesimen not in the Hall, and also Phil Simms not in their too, NFC was a beast of a division in 1980's. I think hall voters don't give those Q.B.' s no love.
joe pissarchic should be hall fame.
Simms had lt and that d and parcells. That's why he won. Theismann had gibbs and riggo. That's why he won a sb. Warner took two teams to the sb and won multiple mvp's. Only a late steeler td drive kept him from winning a sb with two teams. That's why he is in the hall.
@@stevenbauer4799 Warner had greatest show on turf and the great offense in Arizona. Everyone needs help. Simms and Thesimen should get because of quality of defense they had play against.
@@erickennedy5993perhaps. And two things. Warner had martz and wisenhunt as coaches his two sb losses. Not exactly h of fame coaches. And if cheating pats don't tape rams walk thru before sb xxvi warner has two sb rings.
@@erickennedy5993 And i agree. theismann for those last few seasons had to face those tuff nfc d's in g men, bears, and niners as well. nfc was no cakewalk early-mid 80's.
Now do the '85 Cowboys game where one of their players said the Bears "ain't played nobody" before they faced Dallas. After that game was over, the Bears clearly still hadn't played nobody.
Got you covered: ruclips.net/video/-qqXIklDc9c/видео.html
JG9 Do a series on strange MNF games. Like most fumbles lost in a game
8- st Louis cardinals 1976 vs WFT(fka WR)
That helmet though!! 😂
@Clean Up On Aisle 3 And with how tall he is plus a single digit number, totally looks like the kicker.
I remember watching this game on MNF. I remember how Cossell really went in on the Cowboys fans for singing Happy Birthday to Joe. Howard always had a stick up his ass about the Cowboys!
Cossell was retired in 85... this is when abc bought in Namath and OJ Simpson with Gifford
When you're as obnoxiously cocky as Joe, you really invite that kind of response. I'd normally look on that as poor sportsmanship, but some people aren't just ASKING for it, they're BEGGING for it.
@@richardadams4928 I may be wrong about this, but I heard the Theismann family pronounced their name with the sharp ee sound, but Joe changed it to rhyme with Heisman as in the trophy. I don’t think it helped him win it.
@@garyevans3421 You're correct, Gary, I posted about that specifically elsewhere on this vid. It's utterly lame and arrogant.
Technically he wasn't at this point (just MNF), he did a Sunday afternoon Royals/Twins game a few weeks later and was set to do the World Series
Then I never played the game came out which he set everyone on fire and that was the end of that. He did one last SportsBeat in December then it was off to the NY Daily News to effectively go out like all those hang-on legends
I remember watching this game as a kid. Great defensive game plan by Landry/Stautner. @Official JaguarGator9 a video explaining why the undefeated Miami Dolphins had to play on the road in Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium for the AFC Championship. This is the Dolphin team that went on to win the Super Bowl over George Allen’s Washington team. The only undefeated team in NFL history and because of a quirky NFL rule they had to play on the road to get to the Super Bowl.
Yeah, home field advantage rotated by division instead of record, so Pittsburgh got to host the AFCCG. IDK if this is a topic that would make for a video though unless there's some crazy backstory behind why this format was chosen; it's pretty straightforward otherwise.
@@SteelerFanInRI I think we have another unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian in our midst.
@@CTubeMan An honor to be recognized as such by the official unofficial historian himself lol 😁
My very first SB was Redskins vs LA Raiders.
That was a nightmare for Theisman too.
Pick six, low completion rate.
His downfall started in 84 I guess.
My first was the year before. Washington beat Miami 27-17
This is the “Thurman Thieves” era in Dallas. The Cowboys were second to the Bears with 33INTs in 1985. They had lots of INTs but gave up lots of big plays as well from 1981-85. Dennis Thurman, Michael Downs, Everson Walls. But a very old team offensively, Tony Hill had his best season. The Cowboys, Skins, and Giants were all top 10 defenses in 1985, the Giants actually held the leagues top ranking until the final month of the season. Landry did a lot of gambling, an early form of the zone blitz, did lots of things to disguise coverages mostly to cover up weaknesses in the defense. Often it worked, sometimes it was disastrous. The Cowboys biggest issue was a subpar offensive line that got exposed week after week and they desperately needed speed at receiver
You need to do the game where thiesmans leg is broken on monday night game against the giants that game is never discussed .
Sarcasm?
@@CTubeMan I hope
Bob Glauber wrote in Guts and Genius about the Giants travel to that Monday Night game in Washington. Glauber said that Bill Parcells had the Giants fly out on Sunday night as opposed to Sunday afternoon since he didn’t want them wandering around Washington the rest of Sunday. As a result of traveling logistic snafus, the Giants didn’t get to their hotel until 3 AM. Parcells still insisted the Giants follow their planned routine, which started at 7 AM. As a result the Giants were tired that night. They still played a good game, but they let Jay Schroeder lead Washington to the comeback victory after replacing Theismann.
I love football from this era
1985 was Joe's worst year
36 Years Ago
35 point loss to the bears
And to think the Skins led 10-0 after one quarter.
@@Bruce12867 Yep and Willie Gault ran back kickoff and the rest is history
And Theismann punted the ball 1 yard in that game.
Redskins punter Jeff Hayes (who also kicked off) got hurt trying to tackle Gault on that return. That's why Theismann had to punt.
Theismann breaks his leg later in the season, then Dallas gets broken by the Bears 44-0, then trampled by Eric Dickerson in the playoffs.
8:47 Best part 😂
Happy Doomsday to Joe!
I vaguely remember him destroying the drink table as well.
Happy birthday Joe
Thank God for Joe he gave us our 1st Super Bowl don’t you know...Joe is an ego maniac there’s no way he would play that way he’s a perfectionist...Thanks Joe But it’s part of being Humbled.. So Joe if you break your leg don’t come running to me... And don’t give up your semi retired #7 to a Kid that can’t carry your wristbands
For me Super Bowl 18 was worse as a former fan…
Absolutely, he was awful especially in the first half.
How do you not play the clip of them singing Happy Birthday?? Copyright issue? Awesome content, keep it up!
Theismann had just gone through a bitter divorce from his first wife (whom he had left for actress, Cathy Lee Crosby). That, plus the fact the divorce absolutely broke the hearts of his three children, had to have been seriously eating away at his subconscious. That sort of thing can be all it takes to cause a person to lose focus and make mistakes he otherwise wouldn't make.
Theismann struggled throughout 1985 he probably would have been replaced going into 1986 had he not gotten hurt.
Hated the Redskins when I was younger go Cowboys!!!!!
Cowboys stink
Fool should have hung it up after that bone head pass to Squirek. And it's called hanging on too long. Lotsa qb's did it. Unitas, namath, Tittle, Farve, etc. Peyton held on one year too long just to have his d win him one more sb. Brees teetered on that line hanging it up just in time.
Thank you Lawrence Taylor
I'd say Superbowl 55 was the worst birthday. Stafford had to be on the Lions who went absolutely no where while the Buccaneers won the Superbowl on his birthday. smh.
And to think this was the last year Tom Landry led the Cowboys to the playoffs.
He’s lucky he didn’t have 7 interceptions
@ 7:33, in case you're wondering. To be fair to Theismann he didn't have the worst passer rating of Redksins QBs in that game: Jay Schroeder came of the bench and went 4 of 8 for 51 yards, no TDs and one pick six, for a passer rating of 30.7, which is worse than if you...have a game as bad as Theismann had.
Joe theisman had some bad history in football.
Jake Delhommes birthday in 2008 in the playoffs against the Cardinals
Jake had 6 turnovers (5 picks and a fumble) lost 33-13 and he never played in the playoffs again after that loss
fuck that game lost 250 dollars, that a tigger towards me
I still think John Fox leaving Delhomme in the entire time was a criminal act of cruelty and abuse and he should've been arrested and jailed for it. Not even joking.
I always have bad luck on my birthday
Meanwhile, there are pro athletes like Kobe Bryant and Peyton Manning who never played on their birthdays because they occur in the off season.
This wasnt even the worst day for Joe Theisman in the NFL,, the monday night Leg Snap, and the Walloping the Raiders but on the ""greatest team of all time"" in super bowl XVIII.... anyhoo... how do you know its the worst birthday... How do you know some player had a Bday and lost a loved one or some such thing. Theismann was lame
Good thing the game of pro football passed Landry by or it could have been worse.
dallas sucks
Well, second worst game of his career.
Super bowl 18 he played really bad!
where is the audio of the singing? I waited and waited...
He shoulda had 8 ints
'COSELL SUCKS'.
Theismann can thank the loveable drunk Riggo for that sb ring. Theismann was washed up by then. A few weeks later lt breaks his leg on a sack in mnf game vs. g men and officially ends his career. And speaking of washed up this was just about the beginning of the end for boys and the landry era. Ditka and Bears slapped them so bad at Texas Stadium later that season 45-0 Ditka actually apologized for that mercy killing. And that boys team won the nfc east that season, then landry's playoff career came to an end when Dickerson runs for a record 230 yds. on boys in playoff game. Boys don't see the playoffs again until '91.
You're an idiot. Theismann won NFL MVP in 1983, the year after they won the Super Bowl. From 1979 -1984, I would rate Theismann as the best QB in the league and he should be in the Hall of Fame.
@@jameshutchinson568 wow an idiot. And theismann was so overrated and overhyped going back to his theisman rhymes with heisman b s heisman campaign and just another full of himself because he went to nd golden domer. And theismann can thank riggo and gibbs and the hogs for that mvp season and s b ring. The next year when raiders shut riggo down in the s b theismann didn't do s#it. he-ll mark mosely won an mvp on those skin teams as well. Should he be in the hall too?
@@stevenbauer4799 So a "washed up" player won NFL MVP in 1983? That's the idiotic argument you're making??? You say Theismann was "overrated and overhyped", yet he retired with more passing yards than Roger Staubach and with a much better TD/INT ratio than Terry Bradshaw, the two winningest QBs from the 1970s. You obviously know nothing.
@@jameshutchinson568 And if brdshaw doesn't get surrounded with all of that great steelers talent they drafted he'd be somewhere between plunkett and archie manning. Teetering towards mediocre. Which theismann was except for the five year peak of the riggo/gibbs years. Before they got there theismann sat the bench behind another sorry qb billy kilmer. And theismann was already washed up in '85 the year of the lt hit. He should have been out of the nfl not hanging on that year. And when they talk about great qb's theismann's name never comes up. Why is that? rivers and moon could be considered great because they were some of the most productive qb's of their eras yet they don't get mentioned as all time greats as well. You know nothing...idiot.
@@stevenbauer4799 "Washed up", but won league MVP....what an idiot. Guess what, dolt...it's a team game. Successful QBs NEVER win by themselves. The fact is Theismann was better than both Rivers and Moon and was better than anyone Dallas ever had, except for Staubach and Aikman.
dan marino and steve young are overrrated. joe theseman should be hall fame.
😂
Dan Marino is one of the best of all time. How do you come to this conclusion? The Steelers had the oportunity to draft this guy but sadly they didn't. Despite the fact he is from Pittsburgh.
@@stanlibuda5786 joe theisman ....won super bowl. dan marino..lost super bowl, lost to Penn st. cost pitt national championship. loser.
Love your videos. Quick pointer, please stop saying certain low QB ratings are equal to spiking the ball on every play, which you don't do here but you do on a lot of your other videos. These videos seem to be for those who know football fairly well so they know a QB rating under 40 is terrible.
Sorry missed that, you DO it here.
That phrase will be the biggest seller of his merch line! Though I am proud of myself for coming up with the phrase “Nine Line”.
cannot stand joe thiesman! hated him at notre dame, hates him w the redskins! hated him in the booth! only liked when LT snapped his twig!
Don't think Joe lost any sleep over it
Must be a Cowgirls fan
I think Theismann should be a hall of famer
Yes, without question. Theismann is the only Super Bowl winning QB who also won NFL MVP who is NOT to be in the Hall of Fame. And his career stats are right there with Roger Staubach.
After a birth"day" like that, I hope Joe came home for a better present from his wife for a happy birth"night". ;)
