      I had to pause and pop some popcorn. 1000X times more fun than B. Costas' sleepy shows with frosted lenses. Cowher turned out to be funny.

    Ben saying "i went to the right team" at the end almost made me shed a tear and I think he almost did too. You can also tell how much he respects Coach.

    The 2004 season was the first season I remember watching as a 7-8 year old. Could not be more proud to be a Pittsburgh Steelers fan even through all the highs and lows. Thank you coach for everything you did for the team and the city of Pittsburgh!

    Being a devoted Steelers fan since the 70's it is like reliving the memories with all these great people. I might not have been on the field but I was watching every moment screaming at the TV good or bad but it is great to hear what they were thinking and feeling. Just memories great memories. Thank you

    This is by far my favorite episode. The amount of knowledge and stories here... Being Gen Z, I may not have seen the majority of Cowher's time with the team, but I for sure understand the significance of his leadership and the teams he coached.

      I saw his entire tenure as Head Coach. I was 22 years old the day Coach Cowher was hired. I knew by looking at the intensity on his face that great things were coming back…

    • @mattroberts9569
      @mattroberts9569 Год назад +2

      I got to listen to the years of Chuck Knoll and then Cower. COWER WAS THE BEST! I'll never forget when they flagged the steelers for 12 men on the field and he got a picture printed showing they had 11 and ran to the official and shoved it in his shirt pocket. I was so sad to see him leave. Him and Knoll were great.

This was truly amazing. Couldn't even get through all of this episode because I felt the tears coming on and I'm at work and can't make a fool of myself right now. Love Big Ben and Coach C. so very much.

    Every episode of Footbahlin is great, but this one is the best yet.
    This episode made me feel like a kid again, reliving that iconic 13-0 start from Ben, and the absolute machine that Cowher built for 2 (😉) Super Bowl titles.
    Thank you Coach Cowher for the best football memories I've ever experienced.

    It's been a long time since I've seen Ben Roethlisberger and coach Bill Cowher in the same location, and it's probably the first time I've ever seen them sit down and actually have a conversation. It makes me very happy as a Steelers fan. What an incredible podcast.

    I am 58 years old and been a Steeler Fan since I was 8 years old and loved this video! I miss the era with Ben and Coach Cowher together. Bill Cowher was the best coach I have ever seen. He celebrated with the team during times but he was coach enough and man enough to get in your faces when he needed to. Man I miss those times and couldn't get enough of this video. I could have sit here and watched it for hours!!!!
    Great video!!!!!!

The Steelers have been my team since I was about 6 years old (1972 Franco Harris's rookie year) and it really is all about family. Love these guys, truly do. Thank you Ben and Coach Cowher for everything.

    This was so great to watch. Had a smile on my face the entire time. Me and my brother were at that AFC Championship game in Denver and made it on ESPN Sports Center holding up two giant signs that read "This one's for Jerome" and "Hey Denver Fans, This time #7 is wearing Black and Gold." Sat right behind the Steelers bench. Best game ever.

    Thank you, Ben, for blessing your fans with this podcast. Every episode has been special. The guests have been awesome. Spence is the perfect co-host for you. Evan, who I call “The Stealth Chef” just quietly shows up with the food, speaks when spoken to, and warms his way into our hearts. I look forward to every podcast.

    I live maybe 250 yards away from the Mel Blount Youth Home. I've seen Mel maybe half a dozen times working on the property but I always hear about it afterwards that you or some of my other favorite Steelers legends were there. It's such a tease that I never get to see you guys when you're so close to me. But I love you anyway, I love the show Spence and yourself put together! You gotta get Joey Porter on the show especially now that we have Jr. Would love a shout out on the next episode maybe?? Lol
