Y-LEFT FAKE 396 BAG V-HANDS, Z-PUCK. IS THAT LONG ENOUGH FOR YA? RADIO – RODGERS UNDER CENTER. TAKES THE SNAP. FAKES THE HANDOFF. BOOTLEGS RIGHT. SETS UP. PLENTY OF TIME. RAINBOWS DEEP DOWN THE MIDDLE. TOUCHDOWN! RODGERS TAKES PUMP FAKES, OPENS UP. TOUCHDOWN! 11 YD. TOUCHDOWN RUN BY RODGERS. I WAS OVER THE END ZONE! (DON’T SCARE ME LIKE THAT.) RADIO – SNAP TO RODGERS ALONE IN THE SHOTGUN OF 3RD DOWN. PUMP FAKES. THROWS! END ZONE! TOUCHDOWN! YEA!! RADIO – LOOKING. STEPS UP. TAKES IT HIMSELF. HE’S TO THE 5. TURNS TO THE GOAL LINE, REACHING. IS HE IN? THEY’RE SAYING NO. HE IS DOWN JUST SHORT. 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.! 2 SOCKS. THEY MAKE GREAT PUPPETS. AND THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN A COLORFUL PART OF THE NFL UNIFORM. LONG SOCKS. ORANGE IS A GOOD LOOK. THE ORANGE IS A GOOD LOOK. ONE MAN HAS MADE FOOTBALL 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 BUFFALO BILLS. YOU KNOW ALWAYS CHANGING THEIR STYLE OF SOCKS. I MEAN CLEVELAND BROWNS 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 THROWBACK UNIFORM 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 HELMETS. 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 DENVER BRONCOS. 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 BALL 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 UNIFORMS 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 SINGLE 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 OVERTIME! 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. 4 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 PUNT 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.
