@@BoeJurrow He was the most out-of-shape player on the team (owing to the coke habit), he wore heavy prescription glasses on the field and he was the damn kicker. 😂😂😂 Stop trying to take this so seriously.
I was at that game. While practicing before the game, he actually missed kicking into the practice net, the ball flew down the sideline, and hit a member of the Packer band right in the head.
He did a motivational speech at my school and talked about how he was lucky to be alive after an attempted suicide. It was not very motivational. Also, do a video on Dock Ellis, the man pitched a no-hitter while on LSD
I was 10 years old at the time and I was at a Brewers game at the old County Stadium. They played the replay of it on the jumbotron and the place went nuts.
David Zabel I was there too. 8 years old at the time. That scoreboard was the worst state of the art scoreboard. The board used a computer system to control tens of thousands of low-wattage light bulbs. Based on the power supplied to each bulb by a massive computer system, the board could show graphics, text, and moving video images.. However, unlike the diamond vision boards being installed in every other stadium at the time that actually produced a recognizable picture, the Omega scoreboard was impossible to see on angles especially if you were sitting in the bleachers . So my memory of the kick was seeing some abstract of a football play being shown and really having to listen to the play by play to fill in the blanks. As much as I hated that scoreboard from it's inception, by the final seasons of it's life I gained an appreciation for the constant humming like the bug zapper almost every Wisconsin family had in it's backyard, minus the sound of unlucky mosquitos meeting their demise. Anyway, I know I'm rambling but your comment reminded me of that big beast in right center field.
Fun discussion. Nice that they mentioned Marcol's descent and recovery. As for the play itself... great football IQ and reactions by Marcol to sprint around left end before the Bears could react.
Packer fan since 1972, and my login name tells you how much I liked him. Chester admitted that he was coked to the GILLS at the time. Fortunately, he overcame all of those demons, and turned his life around. Absolutely my Packer hero. They have that ball in the Packer HOF, and I cried when I saw it about 9 or so years ago.
The Lambeau Leaf wasn't a thing until 13 years later. The reason they do it in my opinion is to symbolically celebrate with the owners, the fans who have stock in the team.
SUGGESTION: in 2004, Atlanta Hawks Journeyman point guard Bob Sura, barely a starter, got two straight triple doubles. In an attempt to get what at that time was a very rare third straight triple double, he sprinted down the floor and purposely missed a layup to get his tenth rebound and securing a third straight triple double. Only Grant Hill, Magic Johnson, and Micheal Jordan had done this before. The NBA stepped in just hours later and stripped his triple double. Do an episode on this.
As I prepared for the kick, I checked every variable again, all at once. The wind speed and direction, the distance, the opposing players, all in an instant. I made contact and looked up to follow the path of the ball, but all at once, as manna from heaven, the ball reappeared in my open arms. I knew at once what I had to do. In one fluid motion, I parted the opposing line like the Red Sea and made what felt like a 40-year journey to the end zone. I went from failure to savior, a hero in the annals of history, never to be known...until Will rediscovered me....in the annals of history.
The first Lambeau Leap occured December 26, 1993 when LeRoy Butler recovered a fumble and returned it for a touchdown against the LA Raiders. That’s why Chester Marcol didn’t do the leap.
3:32 when my little sister was 3 years old, we browsed through a toy store for some reason. She saw an adorable teddy bear, which she grabbed and we couldn't get her to release it, like this grown-up Packer. We could hardly see the bear. My mother bought the bear (we weren't rich). It was my sister's first plush toy, I think. This scene brought back that cherished memory.
I realize the guys are just being funny with the lambeau leap but it made me kinda sad. When you score in football it’s a great moment and you have so much adrenaline it doesn’t matter
My thoughts exactly. If you somehow end up to be living such a charmed life that you've an opportunity to do a Lambeau Leap in an NFL game YOU DO IT!!! Plus, it made them sound REALLY soft "ewww, I might get a splish-splash of beer on me, or even worse I could chip a fingernail".
@2:56 The Lambeau Leap didnt exist until 1993 when Packers safety Leroy Butler scored after a fumble and jumped into the end zone, thus inventing it. Packers WR Robert Brooks popularized it and the rest is history.
@@wce05308 Yeah, my dad and him were friends in AA. He was pretty nuts and had a super hard life. When I was super young it freaked me out that a ton of his teeth were missing and later I found out it was because he tried to kill himself by drinking battery acid. But after going to rehab and stuff he's super nice and you'd never know he'd had such a wild life.
3:58 Being from Green Bay I can attest: Sitting in a row 1 bleacher seat of the north endzone on a 4 degree December night, catching a player, and getting waterboarded with Miller Lite is every Packer fan's dream!
Another kind of Kick Six: Toronto Montreal CFL game a few years back. Canadian football has the single point and the last play of the game with a tie score featured a FG attempt, two drop kicks, a fumble and a touchdown.
I remember this vividly, like it was yesterday. I was a ten year old boy at the time watching it on television at a neighbor's house. A few of us neighbor kids were huddled in the living room at the time watching. When he ran it in for the TD the room exploded, popcorn flying all over heck.
Since that was a return, if you look at the box score, there actually isn't a single touch down listed the entire game. Also he scored the Packers 6 on a 41 and a 46 yard field goal both in the 2nd quarter. He and the Bears Bob Thomas who had a 42 yarder in the 1st and a 34 yarder in the 3rd, look like they were the only ones playing.
It is listed as a "blocked FG return" but ti's still listed as a TD. Thanks for posting that, though, because that scoring does surprise me. I would have thought it would be listed as a rushing TD since the kick never went beyond the line of scrimmage. What if he picked it up thrown it for a TD? Would that not have been a passing TD?
@@Namath1000 I'm not entirely sure. I think the origin of the play is why it's called a return instead of what basically became a rushing touchdown. I would think that had he passed it, the scoring would be different as he wasn't running a return. I'm sure someone out there knows, but it would make sense to me if it was a passing TD that it would be different.
I remember that game very well. A very sweet victory against our most hated rival, the Chicago Bears. I also remember our most hated rival, the Chicago Bears, getting some sweet revenge themselves for that first game of the season by stomping the Packers during the last game of the season, 61-7. Ouch!!
This is a Great Game against the Rival-Bears! The Chester Marcol story is great. Read his Packer Book on "Still Kicking" and it should be a "Hollywood" Movie. Chester has made a commitment to solving drug addiction problems and he is an "Icon" of Football. That book could be a "Rudy-Movie." God Bless Chester as we all respect his Life Today! T J (Tom) Vanderloop, Author, Teacher & "Past Ticket-taker" for Lambeau Field. (1977-1986)
1) This is the greatest play in NFL history and I was at Lambeau Field. 2) Chester was known as The Polish Messiah, and is a great guy. 3) 1980 was thirteen years before the first Lambeau Leap. 4) If you don’t want to do the Leap because you will end up smelling like beer…don’t come to Wisconsin for any reason!
There's a story from the 20th Century about a college team that recovered its kickoff in the opposing team's endzone for a touchdown. The opposing team's coach was convinced the ball was going to roll out of bounds before getting to the endzone for some easy free penalty yards, and kept shouting to his team "Let it roll! Let it roll!" The opposing team kept obeying the repeated instruction from their coach, and kept letting the ball roll. The kicking team eventually caught up to the erratically bouncing ball just when the ball had crossed over the endline, and fell on the ball for a touchdown. It wasn't the kicker who made the touchdown recovery, but if the kicker had been the one to make the recovery, it would have been another very rare case of a kicker recovering his own kick and scoring a touchdown.
Why is a game where two teams play great offense and awful defense considered exciting, while two teams playing elite defense is ugly? I just don't understand that mindset.
I love how I thought you guys weren't gonna mention the coke and I was mid-comment when I started to say you forgot this point. But I love how he scored the game winner and then was released shortly after 😂😂😂😂
2:31 It's OK Ryan, that's how I got my first-ever rebound in 5th grade. (and when I say "first-ever", I mean that I went my entire second and third-grade seasons of intramural basketball without any rebounds (didn't play in 4th))
BTW. There WAS no Lambeau Leap back in 1980. Leroy Butler invented the Leap in 1993 after running back a fumble recovery for a TD, against Oakland. Reggie White lateraled to him en route.
Soon after the TD, CBS Sports announcer Lindsey Nelson says, "...along with Sonny Jurgensen, so long from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Now stay tuned for the U.S. Open tennis championship, next, from New York." This happened on September 7, 1980. Thus, the telecast would have then gone to John McEnroe's classic five-set victory over Bjorn Borg. I wonder how many tennis fans were tuning in, only to unknowingly and unwittingly catch one of the strangest plays in NFL history. And little did they know they were about to witness one of the greatest matches in tennis history.
I may be misremembering this, but I seem to recall a college (FSU?) kicker scoring a TD about 30 years ago by catching his own kickoff and cruising into the end zone. Can you confirm or refute? Thanks!
I sub’d because you all do a great show but please know the graphics is what pushed me over the line to sub! That means whoever is doing the graphics is as valuable as you all. If it’s one of you all then bravo!!! 😂😂😂
didn't this story come up in a jon bois video? cant remember if it's the saddest punt video or the one about kickoff returns getting abolished, but I remember a funny line, "he's just kicking touchdowns out there"
Chester was high while attempting the game winning fg against the bears. I read his book about over coming addiction. Great read! He doesn't remember that play. He was out of his mind and he was cut weeks later cause of his irratic poor play.
Nice video, you know what would also make a nice video? Jon Bois talking about all of Wilt Chamberlain’s crazy stats, please I’d watch like at least twice and like it too.
I watched this on TV when it happened. I can remember the TV announcer call... "Chester Marcol!!!!....Chester Marcol!!!!!!!....Chester Marcol!!!!" as he's running up the sideline
"Our coked-up kicker outran your whole defense" was how we survived arguments with Bears fans in the 1980s.

And they say kickers aren't football players lol
Chester scored a point for every Rock of cocaine he had done that day. It goes to show...
Take enough cocaine, and you can do anything!
The video clip with Jim Irwin and Max McGee audio always gives me both great joy and great sadness…
He had a coke panic attack when he did the Lambeau Leap
The leap started with Leroy butler
this game was in 1980 the leap wasnt started untill 1993
He was coked out of his gord which makes it even funnier

I sub’d because you all do a great show but please know the graphics is what pushed me over the line to sub! That means whoever is doing the graphics is as valuable as you all. If it’s one of you all then bravo!!! 😂😂😂
Need more vids with this trio
"He's just out here kicking touchdowns" -Jon Bois
I remember Chester Marcol, but I never heard of this. Will: wear a shirt that actually fits, dude.
didn't this story come up in a jon bois video? cant remember if it's the saddest punt video or the one about kickoff returns getting abolished, but I remember a funny line, "he's just kicking touchdowns out there"
Chester was high while attempting the game winning fg against the bears. I read his book about over coming addiction. Great read! He doesn't remember that play. He was out of his mind and he was cut weeks later cause of his irratic poor play.
I already know this because it's in the video
Our high school kicker did this on a PAT this year😂 the student section went nuts
I can’t tell if this story is super funny and awesome, or pathetic and sad lmao
Depends on what side you are on, if you are a Bear fan, it's pathetic and sad but if you are a Packers fan like me, it's funny and amazing all in one.
It doesn't have to be just one or the other, that's the beauty of it.
6-6 game and the kicker doing coke at half-time. Ah the NFL
Nice video, you know what would also make a nice video? Jon Bois talking about all of Wilt Chamberlain’s crazy stats, please I’d watch like at least twice and like it too.
"We had a good thing going, come on Rodge" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally I'm early! I know exactly what to say!
REWIND THE IMMACULATE RECEPTION FFS
fyukfy YESSSSSS
fyukfy shut up fyu James Washington is good hahahahaha hah and ur a bad member of sports heaven
I watched this on TV when it happened. I can remember the TV announcer call...
"Chester Marcol!!!!....Chester Marcol!!!!!!!....Chester Marcol!!!!"
as he's running up the sideline
Sounds like Joe Buck’s call of Brian Mitchell’s long kickoff return
The Lambeau leap wasn't a thing until 1993. Really dumb to spend so much time on that.
I agree. They act like the lambeau leap was invented in 1919 and every packer throughout history who scored a touchdown was expected to do it. Lol.
