RADIO – RODGERS UNDER CENTER. TAKES THE . FAKES THE HANDOFF. BOOTLEGS RIGHT. SETS UP. PLENTY OF TIME. RAINBOWS DEEP THE MIDDLE. ! RODGERS TAKES PUMP FAKES, OPENS UP. TOUCHDOWN! 11 YD. TOUCHDOWN RUN BY RODGERS.

THAT’S A TOUCHDOWN. THAT’S A TOUCHDOWN. DIDN’T YOU THINK MY KNEE WAS DOWN? (BUT AS YOU GO DOWN…) IT IS. YOU SHOULD JUST GIVE ME THE TD. THEN IT’S HARD TO OVERTURN. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? (I UNDERSTAND THAT.) THAT WAS A GOOD EFFORT THOUGH, WASN’T IT?

IT WAS A TOUCHDOWN.

02:18:10 - NICE COLLECTION BUT IT SMELLS

NOW LISTEN UP. ALL YOU EVER ASK FOR IS AN OPPORTUNITY. YOU GOT IT TODAY. WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU RATHER BE THAN RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW?!

HEY BABY, LET’S GO OUT THERE LIKE A BUNCH OF CRAZED DOGS AND HAVE SOME FUN.

JUST REMEMBER THIS, 40 MEN TOGETHER CAN’T LOSE! O.K.!

SOCKS. THEY MAKE GREAT PUPPETS. AND THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN A COLORFUL PART OF THE NFL .

LONG SOCKS. ORANGE IS A GOOD LOOK. THE ORANGE IS A GOOD LOOK.

ONE MAN HAS MADE SOCKS HIS LIFE’S PASSION SINCE 1976.

I’M PATRICK PINKOWSKI AND I COLLECT SOCKS. THOSE ARE DONALD DRIVER’S SOCKS AND SPIKES. MIKE LANSFORD, PLAYED FOR THE RAMS. …, HEAD OF OFFICIALS IN THE U.S.F.L. YOU’RE BUILDING HISTORY. THIS STACK RIGHT HERE IS THE . YOU KNOW ALWAYS CHANGING THEIR STYLE OF SOCKS. I MEAN ARE REPRESENTED HERE PROBABLY 10 TIMES.

THERE’S A GLEAM MEN. THERE’S A GLEAM. LET’S GET THE GLEAM.

I’VE GOT A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH A LOT OF EQUIPMENT MANAGERS THROUGHOUT THE NFL. IF I SEND A LETTER AND SAY, “HEY, YOU’RE USING A THIS YEAR, CAN YOU GET ME A PAIR OF SOCKS?” THEY’LL DO THAT. WHEN YOU GET A PAIR LIKE THIS, THIS IS THE PHILA. EAGLES. THEY WORE THIS PAIR ONE TIME.

I DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY’RE WEARING TODAY. UGLY SOCKS WITH THE FAKE MICHIGAN . IT’S AN AWFUL DAY TO BE A PHILA. EAGLE. AWFUL!

I DON’T WANT TO SAY I’M GONNA PUT AN “M” IN A GOLD-EMBOSSED CASE BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL THAT IMPORTANT.

PAT IS A SOCK-AHOLIC. HE MAJORED IN SOCK-TOLOGY AT SOCK-HOLM UNIVERSITY IN SWEDEN. FOR DINNER, HE ENJOYS SOCK-EYE SALMON WITH A GLASS OF SAKE. AND HIS FAVORITE PHILOSOPHER IS SOCK-CRATES.

MOST OF THEM ARE GAME-WORN. SOME OF THEM ARE NOT BUT MOST OF THEM ARE. YEARS AND YEARS AGO, WHEN YOU LOOK BACK, IT WAS A HUGE PART OF WHAT THE TEAM’S DYNAMIC WAS WIT THEIR UNIFORM. SOMEBODY FOCUSED ON THAT AND SAID, “THIS IS GOING TO BE EXCITING. THE SOCKS.”

I LIKE THIS KIND OF PARTY! I LIKE THIS KIND OF PARTY, BABY!

HERE’S A BEAUTY RIGHT HERE. THE . NOBODY REALIZED THEY MORPHED FROM THAT TO THAT. I MEAN IF YOU WEREN’T WATCHING THAT I GUESS, YOU LOOK AT A UNIFORM FROM THAT ERA. IF IT’S THE 1975 PHILA. EAGLES OR THE 1982 PHILA. EAGLES, I KNOW THAT UNIFORM BASED ON THOSE SOCKS.

HE’S AMAZING. HE’S AMAZING.

I THINK I’M THE ONLY ONE IN AMERICA WHO CAN SAY THAT! HERE’S ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE. THE BUCCANEERS. IN 1976, THE YEAR THEY WENT 0-14, THIS IS THE PAIR OF SOCKS THAT THEY WORE. IT WAS THE ONLY YEAR THEY WORE THESE SOCKS. (HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING WHERE THE GOES OVER THE PUNTER’S HEAD AND HE’S RUNNING AFTER IT TRYING TO KICK IT?) HE’S WEARING THOSE SOCKS. 3

HE CAN’T STOP THE PASS OR A RUN. OTHERWISE, WE’RE IN GREAT SHAPE. OH, CLASSIC EXAMPLE. DENVER BRONCOS. THEY WORE THE VERTICAL STRIPPED SOCKS BACK WHEN THEY FIRST CAME IN TO THE AFL. BASICALLY THEY WERE ALL BURNED IN A BONFIRE IN 1962 BECAUSE THEY WERE SO UGLY. BUT WHEN THEY CELEBRATED THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AFL THEY BROUGHT THAT UNIFORM BACK.

RADIO – THE BRONCOS WEARING THEIR ORIGINAL AND THOSE HIDEOUS VERTICAL STRIPPED STOCKINGS.

THAT SOCK WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE HERITAGE OF THAT TEAM.

TO PAT, SOCKS ARE THE VERY SOLE OF THE NFL. AND HE’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS FIRST PAIR.

HOUSTON OILERS. 1976. THEIR SOCKS WERE CLASSIC. COLUMBIAN BLUE, SCARLET. THE WHOLE THING STARTED WITH THAT RIGHT THERE.

MY SOCKS, RIGHT? YOU PLAY HOW YOU DRESS.

NOWADAYS, THERE’S VERY FEW THAT HAVE ANY SEMBLANCE OF STRIPPING. SO MANY TEAMS WEAR BLACK UPPER SOCKS. THAT’S IT.

THE STRIPES ARE VANISHING, BUT THERE’S ALWAYS BEEN A DRESS CODE. SOCKINGLY, IT APPLIED TO THOSE WHO DIDN’T EVEN WEAR SOCKS.

IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL THERE WERE PROBABLY 5 BAREFOOT KICKERS THAT HAD TO MEET THAT CRITERIA TO HAVE THAT SOCK EMET THE TOP OF THEIR PANT. IN ORDER TO DO THAT, BAREFOOT KICKERS CUT THEIR SOCKS OFF JUST BELOW THE CALF. HERE’S RICH KARLOS FROM S.B. 21. THEY LOST WHICH IS NOT HIS BEST MOMENT I’M SURE. BUT HE BEAT CLEVELAND WEARING THAT SOCK RIGHT THERE.

KARLOS’ KICK IS ON THE WAY AND IT IS GOOD! THE DENVER BRONCOS WIN IT IN !

HERE’S A LETTER I GOT THAT SAYS, “DEAR PATRICK. THANK YOU FOR COMPLIMENTING US REGARDING THE UNIQUENESS OF OUR UNIFORMS. WISHING YOU CONTINUED SUCCESS. SOCK IT TO ‘EM” YOU CAN’T PUT A PRICE TAG ON IT. IT’S THE HISTORY ASPECT OF IT, AND IT CONTINUES TO GROW.

THAT HISTORY – THE COLORS, RINGS AND STRIPES – LIVES ON IN PAT PINKOWSKI’S BASEMENT. HE HOPES SOMEDAY IT ENDS UP IN THE PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME.

TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I CONTRIBUTED SOMETHING TO CANTON, OHIO BECAUSE I TOOK THAT TIME TO DO IT. THAT’S WHERE IT BELONGS.

THIS ONE’S FOR YOU… PAT.

02:24:08 - PATRICK PETERSON

PATRICK PETERSON MADE THE START OF HIS NFL CAREER SEEM EASY.

RADIO – 7-12 TO GO IN THE 4TH TIED AT 21. PETERSON HAS IT AT THE 10. RUNS RIGHT, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40! MIDFIELD, GOODBYE!! PATRICK PETERSON! TOUCHDOWN TO THE HOUSE!

ONCE THAT FIRST ONE CAME MY EXPECTATIONS FOR MYSELF WENT THROUGH THE ROOF. I WAS LIKE, “O.K., I GOT THE FIRST ONE OUT THE WAY WEEK 1. I WANT TO DO …IS TRY TO RUN BACK A RETURN EACH AND EVERY TIME I GET MY HANDS ON THE BALL.

PETERSON SET HIGH GOALS FOR HIMSELF HIS ROOKIE YEAR, AND HE DIDN’T DISAPPOINT. HE WAS VOTED TO THE PRO BOWL AND BECAME THE FIRST PLAYER IN NFL HISTORY WITH 4 PUNT RETURN TOUCHDOWN’S OF AT LEAST 80 YARDS IN A SINGLE SEASON.

RADIO – PATRICK PETERSON IN OVERTIME TAKES IT TO THE HOUSE! AND BIG RED WINS!

PETERSON MAKES PLAYING THE GAME OF FOOTBALL LOOK EASY, BUT IN REALITY NO ONE WORKS HARDER.

IF YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST, YOU GOTTA PUT YOUR BODY THROUGH SOME WORK. LET’S GO.

HERE YOU GO. GOOD JOB. THIS IS HOW YOU BE GREAT RIGHT HERE, GUY. WORK HARD. PAYS OFF.

HE’S NOT LARRY FITZGERALD BUT HE GETS THE JOB DONE.

ACTUALLY HE’S PATRICK PETERSON SENIOR, AND HE BECAME A FATHER AS A TEENAGER.

AT 16 TO FIND OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT, FOR ONE; BUT TO KNOW I WASN’T MARRIED AND I SAID A PRAYER AND I WAS LIKE ,”GOD I KNOW THAT I DID WRONG BUT TURN IT AROUND AND MAKE IT FOR THE GOOD.” AND EVEN WITH THAT I FOUND OUT THAT I HAD CANCER WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WITH PATRICK. WITH ME FINDING OUT THAT I WAS PREGNANT, TO ME IT WAS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE TO FIND THAT AS WELL.

FOR HER, KNOWING THAT I’M GIVING LIFE BUT MY LIFE CAN BE GONE THE NEXT NIGHT OR DAY.

NOTHING REALLY ENTERED MY MIND THAT I COULD NOT BE HERE ONE DAY. I JUST THANK GOD. I’M VERY FORTUNATE.

PETERSON HAS BEEN DOMINATING ON THE FIELD SINCE YOUTH FOOTBALL. MY DAD’S BEEN TEACHING ME SINCE BIRTH. IT’S JUST SOMETHING I GREW TO LOVE OVER THE YEARS. I ACTUALLY STARTED PLAYING ORGANIZED FOOTBALL WHEN I 5

WAS 7. I WASN’T OLD ENOUGH AND GOT KICKED OFF THE FOOTBALL TEAM. BUT I CAN REMEMBER MY FIRST GAME. I SCORED ABOUT 5 TIMES, AND THOSE GUYS THOUGHT I WAS A LITTLE BIT TOO OLD. BUT COME TO FIND OUT I WAS A LITTLE BIT TOO YOUNG.

PATRICK’S PARENTS USED FOOTBALL TO TEACH HIM DISCIPLINE.

MY FRESHMAN YEAR WAS A BLAST. ON THE FIELD IT WAS AT LEAST, BUT DIDN’T GET THE WORK DONE IN THE CLASSROOM.

HE MADE A PROMISE TO ME THAT HIS GRADES WOULD NEVER DROP UNDER A 2.5, AND THEY DROPPED TO A 2.2. ONE DAY WE WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO PRACTICE AND I TOLD HIM. I SAID, “WELL, I’M GONNA GO TO PRACTICE.” AND HE SAID, “DAD, WE’RE SUPPOSED TO GO TO PRACTICE.” AND I SAID, “NO. WE’RE NOT GOING TO PRACTICE. I’M GOING TO PRACTICE.” HE SAID, “WHY?” I SAID, “YOU MADE A PROMISE TO ME. YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE.”

I WOULD TELL HIM, “JUST BECAUSE YOU CATCH A FOOTBALL AND RUN UP AND DOWN THE FIELD, IT DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING WITHOUT YOUR EDUCATION.

THROUGHOUT THAT WHOLE SEASON HE’D CATCH ALL THE GAMES. SAT IN THE STANDS.

WE WERE TRYING TO TEACH HIM AS WELL LIKE YOUR WORD IS YOUR BOND. IT STUCK.

PATRICK’S PARENTS REQUESTED HE KEEP HIS GRADES UP, BUT THE YOUNGER PETERSON ALSO HAD A REQUEST FOR THEM.

I CAN REMEMBER GOING THROUGH ELEMENTARY. I ALWAYS WANTED MY PARENTS TO BE MARRIED. I MEAN THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN TOGETHER BUT GOING TO SCHOOL AND SEEING ALL THESE KIDS WITH THEIR PARENTS BEING MARRIED AND EVERYTHING GOES A LITTLE BIT…I BELIEVE WHEN I WAS ABOUT 13 OR 14 WHEN THEY FIRST GOT MARRIED. THAT WAS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE TO FINALLY SEE MY MOM AND DAD TIE THE KNOT.

ALONG WITH THE MARRIAGE CAME ANOTHER MAJOR CHANGE FOR THE STAR ATHLETE KNOWN AS PATRICK JOHNSON HIS WHOLE LIFE.

RADIO – THAT’S A TOUCHDOWN FOR THE TIGERS. PATRICK JOHNSON ON THE , TAKES IT BACK 55 YDS.

I WANTED US TO BE A FAMILY AND EVERYONE TO HAVE THE SAME LAST NAME. NOT HAVING THAT …OR IS THAT REAL FATHER? IS THAT YOUR REAL MOTHER? BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE MY BIOLOGICAL PARENTS.

AT LSU PETERSON WAS AN ALL AMERICAN AND DECIDED TO ENTER THE NFL DRAFT AFTER HIS JUNIOR YEAR. TO HAVE MY FAMILY THERE IN THE GREEN ROOM, IT MADE THAT MOMENT THAT MUCH MORE SPECIAL. HELLO. (PATRICK, HOW YOU DOING?) HEY, HOW YOU DOING COACH? (OBVIOUSLY, YOU’LL BE A GOOD ADDITION TO OUR FOOTBALL TEAM. 6

WE’RE GONNA EXPECT A LOT OUT OF YOU THIS FIRST YEAR.) I CAN’T WAIT TO BE THERE. (GOOD. WELL WE’RE EXCITED THAT WE’RE GONNA GET YOU.)

I SAID ,”YOU DID IT. YOU CAN WAKE UP IT’S NOT A DREAM IN THE MORNING. IT’S A REALITY.”

I CAN REMEMBER HUGGING MY BABY SISTER. SHE’S THE YOUNGEST OUT OF ALL OF US BUT SHE BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY.

I CRIED A LOT. THEY DON’T KNOW ABOUT IT. I THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT. HE TOLD ME THE SAME DAY WHEN WE WERE GETTING READY TO GO INTO THE DRAFT ROOM. HE SAID, “DAD, YOU PROMISED ME, YOU TOLD ME IF YOU DO THE RIGHT THING THIS IS WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU.”

CADILLAC! WE DID IT BABY.

I’M GONNA BE THE BEST ONE IN THIS LEAGUE. WATCH. (I KNOW YOU ARE.) WATCH. (I KNOW YOU ARE.) YES SIR.

RADIO – WHAT A GOOD PLAY BY PATRICK PETERSON. WOW. PETERSON LOOKS LIKE HE’S GONNA BE A GOOD CORNER FOR A LONG TIME.

AT THIS POSITION YOU GOTTA LIVE, LEARN AND FORGET, AND HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE WITHIN YOURSELF IN KNOWING THAT YOU’RE GONNA WIN AT LEAST 80% OF THE BATTLES. PICKED OFF, PETERSON! PATRICK PETERSON 20! PETERSON TO THE HOUSE!!

I WAS TRULY BLESSED TO BE IN THE PRO BOWL MY FIRST YEAR. BUT MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO BE IN THE PRO BOWL AS A CORNER.

AS A FATHER TRAINING A KID AND TEACHING A KID HOW TO GROW UP…

IT’S A BLESSING TO HAVE AN IN-HOUSE TRAINER.

WHAT HE WANTS TO DO IN LIFE, I’M BEHIND HIM 100%. THERE’S A LOT OF THINGS THAT HE CAN DO THEY HAVEN’T SEEN.

RADIO – HOW ABOUT THAT? A GAIN OF CLOSE TO 18 WITH PATRICK PETERSON TAKING OFF.

APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING. THOUGH PETERSON JUNIOR MAKES IT LOOK EASY ON THE FIELD, THE PETERSON FAMILY KNOWS THAT NOTHING IN FOOTBALL OR LIFE IS EVER EASY.

I MEAN IT’S JUST SO MUCH I CAN SPEAK ABOUT MY PARENTS. WHAT THEY’VE DONE FOR ME TO HELP PROVIDE THIS LIFE FOR ME. I MEAN MY DAD BEING MY COACH THROUGHOUT MY LIFE. SOMETHING HE ALWAYS INSTALLED IN ME, AND THAT’S TO BE THE BEST PLAYER THAT I CAN BE EACH AND EVERY TIME I STEP ON THE FIELD. I KNOW I AM A YOUNG GUY IN THIS LEAGUE BUT NO ONE HAS THE CONFIDENCE WITHIN THEMSELVES LIKE PATRICK PETERSON DOES.
