• 1:37
  Speaker 2: The Bengals Ring of Honor began in twenty twenty one
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: with a quartet consisting of three Pro Football Hall of
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: famers Paul Brown, Anthony Munos and Ken Riley, and a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: fourth player who deserves to be in Canton, Ken Anderson.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: The following year, Bengals fans selected Willie Anderson and Isaac Curtis,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and last year's inductees were Boomer Assiazin and Chad Johnson.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: The fourth Ring of Honor class was announced today Thursday,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: July eighteenth, and features Corey Dylon and Tim Crumrae. Dylan
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: was the Bengals' second round pick in nineteen ninety seven
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and ran for more than one thousand yards in each
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: of his first six seasons. Along the way, he set
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: two NFL records. Corey broke Jim Brown's single game rushing
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: record by a rookie when he ran for two forty
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: six against Tennessee. Three years later, he broke Walter Payton's
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: record for rushing yards in a game when he went
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: for two seventy eight against Denver. While those records have
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: since been broken and are currently held by Adrian Peterson,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: who had a two hundred and ninety six yard game
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: as a rookie for Minnesota, Dylan still has two of
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the top seventeen single game rushing marks in league history. Unfortunately,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the team struggled for much of Corey's time in Cincinnati,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and he wasn't always a happy camper, But those squabbles
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: were more than twenty years ago and don't diminish the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: fact that he is among the greatest players in team history. Corey, Congratulations,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'm being chosen for the Bengals Ring of Honor. How
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: did you get the news and what does this honor mean?
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Well, I got a personal call from Mike Brown himself
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: and he said, well, Corey, we got some good news
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: for you, and he let me know I was going in.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Saw Dude, that was a great day. I was actually
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: scramming around the house. I was just about to go
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: to the golf range, and then as I was getting
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: my golf equipment, man I just checked my phone and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I've seen the message and it was from five to
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: one three, and I'm like, uh, who could this be?
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: So he left me a message.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I called him back, man, and he told me the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: good news, and dude, I almost broke down that day.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Man, that was one of those days. You know what.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: That wasn't great news? Great news? And ay, it was
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: music to my ears. So I was, I was. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: was a happy man that day. Still am still am,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to be honest with.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You, it is richly deserved. Mike Brown, since you mentioned him,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: has a very interesting memory of you. He recalls watching
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: you at practice and when you ran by, he said
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it felt like the earth moved. He says that that's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the only time that's ever happened to him as long
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: as he's been watching football practices. How would you describe
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: your running style?
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Aggressive?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: That's how I would call it, man, This is I mean,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: growing growing up, we played street football religiously. So man,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I'm and people got to understand, Man, I got two
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: older brothers, so they're like five or seven years older
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: than me.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: I'm the youngest.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: So in order to play with them, guys, I had
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: to be a little different, you know, they're not. There
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: was't gonna let me play with them if I was
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: gonna be crying and and can't go out there and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: keep up with them. So, man, I learned early so
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: so that that little that that being running stout definitely
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: comes from them and playing with the kids in the neighborhood.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: We could see opponents that didn't want to tackle you
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in the third and fourth quarters. Did anybody ever say
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: anything amusing about that? No?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: No, I think that was just kind of I am
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: oh man, Like when when the game starts getting late, man,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm just getting warmed up, so you know, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: it's it's all about you know. I had a bag
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: of tricks with me too, so I was like, you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: maybe the first quarter, first two quarters, you know, I
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: dance around you for a little bit. But when them
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: later quarters start start start coming, man, it's it's time.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: It's kind of pounding ground. And that's what I was
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: known for doing.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Ry. You were voted in by Bengals fans. You are
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the first running back selected for the Bengals Ring of Honor.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: There was a period where you weren't sure how Bengals
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: fans felt about you.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Correct, Correct, I mean I was. I was on my
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Hyaenus for about a decade, so I just came out
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: my CuPy Old a year ago. So yeah, man, just
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: just on how things ended, you know. I mean, it
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: wasn't the best of terms. I mean to me, it
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: wasn't It wasn't all bad, but it wasn't all good.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: So and then, you know, for me, just like taking
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: a break.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: From football for a long long time.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: You don't you don't know how you gotta be received.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: So at first, yeah, it was I wrote for them
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a couple of people of fetus, But you know, that's
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: that's the nature of it. I mean, until you get
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: to understanding where I'm coming from, and you heard me
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: throughout this whole year, I think people kind of warmed
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: up to me and kind of got where I was
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: coming from. And ever since then things been good.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I think people understood. Even back then, they may have
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: been frustrated because they didn't want you to leave, but
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: you had the misfortune of being on some bad teams.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It got to you.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Are all the old wounds healed.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: They're done, They're done.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, just just alone, I think puts everything the
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: rest in you know what, as far as me and
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: organization go. I think we're moving forward in a better,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: better spot, which that's what I wanted initially. So hey,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: you won't hear from me, and I definitely don't think
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: you hear anything from them. So it is it's water
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: under the bridge, man, And I'm looking forward to seeing
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: these young Bengals go out there and try to win
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: a Super Bowl.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Ory.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: You enter the Bengals Ring of Honor with Tim Crumrai,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: who is the Bengals defensive line coach for your first
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: six seasons in Cincinnati. He was known as a play
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: for many of the things that you were known for. Toughness, physicality, relentlessness.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: What do you admire and respect about Tim krumright?
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Everything? Man?
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Just what you mentioned, man, and I mean me and
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: him done has a lot of lot of deep conversations
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: other than football, man, And he was always someone I respected,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: always someone who would listen.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Just a sound guy. Man.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: He always gave me good advice man. So other than
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: his football skills, man, he's a real good person. And
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: me and me and Crumwright had an excellent relationship. Bible
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: was there in Cincinnati, Corey.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about few specific moments during your Bengals career
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: beginning in week fourteen of your rookie year. In the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: first half of that season, you barely got the ball.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: You had thirty nine carries in your first day games.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: But on that Thursday night in December, you had thirty
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: nine carries in the game against Tennessee. You set the
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: rookie rushing record at the time of two hundred and
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: forty six yards. Do you feel like that game established
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: you as a force to be reckoned with in the NFL?
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Hey, that was just loo.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I just felt like I was doing my job. I mean,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know about a force to be wreckoning with.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: You know what, I was just happy getting getting the
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: opportunity to go out there and play and show what
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I can do. And you know what, it turned into
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: one of those magical moments where, you know what, we
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: set a record and we were just clicking. Man, everything
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: was working. Take nothing away from Tennessee. I think there
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: were probably the third rate defense in the league. So
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: it wasn't easy, but that night we made it seem
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: a little easy. So and you know, the guys up front,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: the Hags up front was man just giving me opportunities
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: to run wild.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: And I took advantage of it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I went back and watched the game. Se the offensive
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: line react when you broke the record was really cool
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: because they were so fired up to be part of it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know what, because we didn't even know
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: we were embarking on a record and Tod we were
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: over on the sideline and they were like, yeah, you're
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: close to a record, and I was like, well, hell,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: let's go back in.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: There try to get it.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: So as well at that point, everybody knew the situation,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and you know what, they were just as fired up
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: as I was trying trying to chase down that record
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: mand and we got it. And dude, that was special
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: moment between not only me and the whole team, but
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: that offensive line and those offensive players. Man, something I
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: remember a lifetime, to be honest with you.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: So you broke Jim Brown's record that night, and then
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: three years later, you broke the record for most rushing
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: yards in a single game that had been held for
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: more than twenty years by Walter Payton.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It was an amazing day.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: It was the first game that the Bengals won at
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: then new Paul Brown Stadium exactly. The team was zero
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: and six at the time, you're facing an excellent Denver
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: team that wound up going eleven and five. They had
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: a top ten rushing defense, and you went for two
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy eight yards. What are your most vivid
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: memories of that day?
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: You know what it felt like.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I know when you hear when athletes say like in
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: the zone, That's how I kind of felt.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: It felt like everything was moving slow and I was
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: moving at a different pace than everybody else. And I
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: kind of noticed it early, like, you know, they were
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: over pursuing heavily. So what I would do is, you
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: know what, start in one direction and if I see
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: a cutback ray man, I'm gonna take it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: And it was working.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I mean by the time I cut back, man, the
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: holes were so wide up and I was just running
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: for daylight.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: So it worked the whole game. It turned out to
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: be one of those.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Games again where you know what, up front, we were
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: gaping holes and all I had to do was just,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: you know, make one cut and try to make it
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: happen to me.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: It's one of those accomplishments that actually gets more remarkable
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: as time goes by. Because the Bengals had no passing
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: attack that day. Two pass completions in fourteen attempts in
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the entire game. You had five runs in that game
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: of thirty or more yards. The Bengals had two all
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: of last year. You had five in that game. Does
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: it add to the satisfaction for you that the Broncos
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: knew what was coming and couldn't stop it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, So, I mean that was that was us, Like.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: We're gonna run the ball. You know, we're gonna run
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: the ball, and if you stop was a good job.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: But you know what, we're gonna keep coming at you.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: So and and that was our attitude, that was our identity.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: That's offensive line.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Knew that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I knew that, Like, yeah, we're gonna face some eight
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: to nine men front all the time, but and man,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: we're gonna go out there try to endure our best
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: and try to get the win.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: So it turned out good on that day. It turned
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: out real good that day.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and all the success I had, man, it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: it's more it's more team success than anything, man, because
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: you know what, we were all prepared, We all knew
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: the situation and and none of us waivered. We knew
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: what we were, what we was gonna face going out there
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: and you know what, we got the job done.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I'll never forget the visual of you at the end
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: of that game on the sideline. You're on your knees,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: your helmets on the ground, you appear to be sobbing.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: What were your emotions in that moment.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I don't believe it, Like it didn't even it didn't
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: even appear to me. I had the many yards, you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I wasn't tired. I was just like, you know what,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: I was more focused on winning the game than anything else.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: So actually after that last run, coming to the sideline
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: and I see it, I see it on the jumble
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: trun and I'm like, oh wow, you know wow, that's unbelievable.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: And then you know, and then I kind of felt
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: some type of way because I know, walk just passed
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: that year, and to me, man in a weird way, man,
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I felt like some records don't need to be broken,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: you know, and why me type things? So I was
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: always I was overwhelmed and emotional. But you know what,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: ay turned out we got that that that win, that
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: was that was number one. We got the win and
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: then in the process we we accomplished a great record.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: So that was That was a great day.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: You got to seventy eight on only twenty two carries.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Ten of those carries were for two yards or less.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Do you ever look back and think, man, if I
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: had had thirty, I would have set a record that
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: would have never been broken.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: That part, that part, and I do recall there was
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: one carry call back where I it was a thirty
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: yard game. So realistically, in my mind that could have
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: been like twenty three carries for three h eight something,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: you know, something ridiculous like that three eighteen who knows?
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: So unfortunate that, you know what, we broke the record
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: as a team. I think we had like four hundred
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: and seven yards rushing.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: That day and ultimately, man, we got the win.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Man, that's that the win starting off four to six
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: and getting your first win the other season in that
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: fashion amazing.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: You actually did not have the longest run by the
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Bengals in that game.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Peter Warwick had like an eighty yard.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely absolutely.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Corey Dylan is our guest. I am a firm believer
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: that you should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I've made that case on this podcast before. You ran
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: for more than eleven thousand yards two of the best
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: games in history, you won a Super Bowl? Ring are
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: you hopeful that this honor might help?
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Absolutely?
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: You know what? The funny thing. The funny thing about
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: it is, I was talking. I was talking to Adrian
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Ross and Joey Porter. We was all on the line
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: one day and he said something to me that and
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: it struck me.

• 24:33
  Speaker 2: On the twenty thirty, After seven years in Cincinnati, you
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: get traded to the Patriots. Your first year with New England,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: you set their single season rushing record. You still hold
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: that record. You won a super Bowl under Bill Belichick.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: What did that season mean? After the tough times that
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: you would endure it up till then?
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Oh man, it was just well, as you know, I
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: was hurt, so the year before I was hurt.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Man, it was just like.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Me coming back and being healthy and lasting the whole
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: year was satisfying to me. And then to top it off,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: you know what, not knowing what to expect, and I
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: don't think people know how difficult it is like going
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: to a team that just won the Super Bowl. The
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: expectations is super high and you kind of you get
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: the feel of like you gotta you gotta integrate yourself
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: in the whole new system and.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: And fill it out. Man. Was nothing. There was nothing
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: easy about that whatsoever.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: So you know what, it turned out to be one
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: hell of a run and you know, actually getting up
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: there man, and integrating with them guys and learning their
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: ways and getting comfortable with the system. And dude, we
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: went on a run want to run and actually won
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Kind of it mundicated the whole oh
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: three year where I was I was hurting and beat down.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I couldn't I couldn't go out there and prove my
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: point because of injury. So I think that made up
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: for the year I was hurt.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: I let O three go.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I had to let that go. I mean, I was
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: rewarded and oh for I will take it.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: You helped Tom Brady win one of the seven Super Bowls,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and back then he wasn't the goat as we think
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: of him now. I mean you were the heart and
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: soul of the offense of that twenty fourteen Hey.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: But nobody will tell you that. No.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: You know what we gotta saying, man, just doing doing
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: your job, man, And honestly, that's what I That's what
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: I was doing, man.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: It's it's the way they lay it out for you,
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: is hey.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Man, everybody just worry about doing their job and everything
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: to be take care of himself and for the most part.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: That's what we all did. But at the end of
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the day, we all held each other accountable. So it
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: worked out to you know what. We fourteen and two
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: in the regular season. Then we went on the the
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: playoff runs against we got you know, super super talented
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: team with the coachs. We asked them out and then
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: we was in a heavyweight fight with the Steelers and
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: we got past them. They rumped us pretty good in
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: the regular season, so actually go up the hindsfield and
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: get some redemption up there with sweet and then you
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: know what, played a one tough, sound football team in Philly.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, any red coach team is gonna be good
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: on both sides, man, and we squeaked one out by
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: a field goal down in Jacksonville. So you know what,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: it brought my whole career, that little six year old
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: kid running around visualizing winning a Super Bowl, like every
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: level I've been through, winning that Super Bowl kind of
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: took care of all that. Everything I went through, good
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: and bad. It was in that one moment. One moment
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: solidified everything for me. So yeah, man, it was it
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: was It was special. It was a special moment for me.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: For your last game was an AFC Championship game in
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: two thousand and seven. You retired at thirty two. I'm
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: sure you could have kept going. Why did you stop then?
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Just tired? I was tired, man.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I mean at some point, man, I you know, even
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: going into that that that last year, I was I
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: was even I was contemplating, like, you know what, if
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I get through this whole year healthy, man, I'm gonna
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: have to start making a decision, because, you know what,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: there's more to life than football. So and I mean
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: like football has consumed majority of my life. I'm like
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I hadn't accomplished a lot, and I wish I could
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: have went out with another Super Bowl.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I wish we were so close. Man, we were so close.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure would we would have whooped the Bears
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: too or whatever whoever they played the coach I think
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: it was the Bears.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: I wish I would have got out of there with
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: another woman, but it wasn't in my cards.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: I just felt like, you know what, this is the
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: best time to step away from me. I mean, keep playing,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: keep playing long enough and over overstaying your You're welcome, man,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: You're gonna catch your injury.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: So I've been fortunate enough and blessed enough that I
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: didn't really have no major injuries, and I just thought
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: it was the right time for me, and time to
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: go home and be with my young guarters and rebuild yourself,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, find some find something else that
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: gave you, gave you that passion to want to be great.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: So yeah, man, And as you can see, it took
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: me to last year to go.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: To come back.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: So I've been okay, man, I've just been trying to
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: be normal Corey and try to live my life accordantly
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: and man, and they keep my health up good and
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: things of that nature. Man, So it's been it's been
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: one hell of a journey. I wouldn't I wouldn't change anything.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't change nothing, nothing about it.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: How closely do you follow the Bengals now? And what
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: do you think A Burrow?
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Man, dude, thank you, thank you, mister Burrow. I'm gonna
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: tell you what man, I and I told I told
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: some others about this man. That man has literally changed
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: the perception of the Bengals by himself. So just for
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: that man, keep doing you, Joe, seriously, man, he's one
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: helbl of quarterback. I believe he will lead to the
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl soon. So and I can't wait for that day.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: So I love the young man. Want to help a player,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: great competitor, great leader. And you know what, me and me,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: me and some of the old teammates. Man, we're sitting back.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: We're just we're having fun seeing these young guys go
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: out there and and and and and put in work.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: So it's it's awesome to see.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: What was it like for you to watch Super Bowl
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: fifty six? Were you screaming at the TV when the
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Bengals said took on the Rams?
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Man, I was.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: It was a nailby I Man, I got anxiety. I
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: was like, man, come on, let's go, let's go. So
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I know the magnitude of winning one, what it would
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: mean for the for the Bengals, So yeah, man, I was.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: I was rooting for them, harm and it was very disappointing.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Comes down to the last play man and in the
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Rams edge of Mountain.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: So I was heartbroken. But I you what, man, We're
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: gonna have many more opportunities to get one.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: The Bengals all time leading rusher, you have the most
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: one hundred yard rushing performances, you have the longest run,
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: the ninety six yard touchdown run against Detroit. Is there
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: anything of all of the accolades that means the most
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: to you?
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: You know what sticks out to me? Man?
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: And this and this shows the character of the team
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: and my teammates.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I think Baltimore was like on a fifty three gang
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: streak of not allowing one hundred yard rusher. Me and
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: the boys went down there and broke that, man, and
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: that sticks out to me. Of like, and now, listen,
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: in those fifty games the Ravens back then were they, man,
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: they were tough at they're stingy, they played. They seen
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of great running backs in that fifty game stretch.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: And for us to go actually down into Baltimore work
• 33:04

  Speaker 1: I really appreciate your time.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Congratulations on this well deserved honner, and we look forward
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: to seeing you at halftime of that game at pay
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Course Stadium.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I will be there. Just indeed, thank you.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: As I said in that interview, I believe that Corey
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Dylan belongs in the profile Ball Hall of Fame. He's
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: twentieth all time in rushing yards, ranking ahead of several
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Hall of famers including OJ Simpson, Earl Campbell, Terrell Davis,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: and Floyd Little. In fact, Corey ran for nearly five
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: thousand more yards than Little. He's a four time Pro bowler,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl champion, holds the career rushing record for
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: the Bengals and the single season rushing record for the Patriots. Yes,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Corey rubbed some people the wrong way during his playing career,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: but the Hall of Fame shouldn't be a popularity contest.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: The stats don't lie, and Corey's rank with the best
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: running backs to ever play. The Bengals Booth Podcast is

• 36:57
  Speaker 2: healthcare provider of the Bengals. The second player chosen for
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: the Ring of Honor this year as Tim Crumrae. Despite
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: being a first team All American at Wisconsin, Crumrie was
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: not considered to be a top NFL prospect at nose
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: tackle because he was six to two and came out
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: of college weighing roughly two hundred and fifty pounds. The
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: draft lasted for twelve rounds back in nineteen eighty three,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: and Cincinnati selected Tim in round ten with pick number
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: two seventy six. Overall, he ranks among the greatest late
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: round steals in NFL history. Crumrie was a two time
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: pro bowler who earned first team All Pro honors in
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight, and the Bengals might have won the
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl that year if Tim didn't break his leg
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: in four places on the forty nine ers second offensive possession. Remarkably,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: he was back in time for the season opener the
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: next year, and other than a couple of games with
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: replacement players during the nineteen eighty seven player strike, Crumrie
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: played in all one hundred and ninety three regular season
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: in playoff games that he could have appeared in in
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: his twelve NFL seasons, Tim, Bengals fans have spoken, they
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: have selected you for the Ring of Honor. What was
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: your reaction when you got the news.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: Well, it's amazing coming from Mike Brown. I knew it
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: was Mike Brown calling right away, but we had little
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: trouble getting through. But finally we got through to Mike
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: and he said congratulations, and he's so proud of me
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: because his family for a long time. No, but it's
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: a great honor to be part of this deal, and
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: it's gonna be exciting, get a bunch of family coming in,
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: and it's going to be a great thing for the
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: city and my fans. I think the fans are great.
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: And thank you for once again the fans for doing it.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: And then basically, thank you very much for the Brown family.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: They are family to me. We have a lot of
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: history backing over the years, so it's so thank you
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: for them too.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Let's turn the clock back to the nineteen eighty three
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: NFL Draft, known as maybe the greatest quarterback draft of
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: all time, John Lway, Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, and others.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Despite your college football Hall of Fame career at Wisconsin,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: you lasted until round ten. Were you pissed? Were you confused?
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: What was going through your mind?
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: All the above?
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: Well, it was one of those deals that unfortunately I
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: was drafting the tenth round, too short, too slow, and
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: too late. Well, you can't judge heart and desire, and
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: I had to ship on my shoulder from day one
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: because I was drafted too late.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: I thought I was going to go a lot earlier.
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: But I had some good people that saw me, dickle Bow,
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: Paul Brown, those people seen me play before and then
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: they picked me late.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: But the rest is history.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I guess the Bengals first round pick that year was
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Dave Remington, the center out of Nebraska. To this day,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: the Dave Remington Award goes to the best center in
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: college football. You famously made his life a living hell
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: in that first training camp. What were you out to prove?
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: Actually it was the Oklahoma drills.
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: It was a tenth round pick, goings against number one,
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: and I didn't get a turn, didn't get a turn,
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: and then I turned to Jim McClair.
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: He hold on cowboy, hold on last one. Dave Vermonton
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: went up. I went up.
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: I had a good wrestling move, took him over backwards
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: and Forrest Greg started yelling to go again, go again.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: Did it three times?
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: So if I made an impact on Dave Evermont to
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: the number one pick, I think I had a good
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: shot at making a team.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Dave Lapham says, you treated every practice like it was
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: a game. You had no neutral gear. What was your
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: thinking where practice was concerned.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: Well, practice was part of the game for me because
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: I thought if I practice half speed, I'd play half speed.
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: It was Friday Temple. I have no Friday Temple. Yeah,
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: Friday Temple. Leave me in the locker room. No Friday.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: But that was part of the That was part of
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: the thing.
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: And I want to say one thing before I get
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: too far into this about me practicing against Dave Lapham.
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: All those fine alignment made me a better player by far.
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: Because play practice against the best you go in a game.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: It's easy.
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: So that one thing I'll make sure I say about
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: the offensive line I prated against when I play here.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: How much of your approach came from wrestling and a
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: wrestling mentality?
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: Number one, It was easy when you go into wrestling
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: matches one on one and I thought, when I lined
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: up on an offensive lineman, if I beat him, I'll
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: be fine.
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: That's why mentality all the way through.
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: There's a long lot of stories on how I had
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: ability to hand placement by pummeling, hit movements, single take,
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: now on throwing your hip on a double, All those
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: little things wrestling really made important. I think if any
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: athlete now, high school, college, whatever it is, has an
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: opportunity to wrestle as a key, as a big edge
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: in football.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: You led the team in tackles five times as a noseguard,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: which is basically unheard of. The first time was in
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: your third season. When did you realize that you could
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: dominate at the NFL level.
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: Well, it was after probably my second or third season.
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: You have to understand, and I want to make this
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: very important. I played nose tackle straight up on the center.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: That's two gap. I means eight two A gaps. That's it,
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: both sides of centers. The A gap had both gaps.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: For me to have that many tackles, it's unbelievable because
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: it's the wrestling metality. I beat him, Well, here comes
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: a double, I flip my hips.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: I'm good to go.
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: But making those tackles, it was game after game, and
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: I think the biggest thing is play every snap like
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: it's last, and you'll have success.
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: Play every snap like it's your last snap.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Everything came together for the team in the nineteen eighty
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: eight season. You went twelve and four, You advanced to
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl twenty three. What are your most vivid memories
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: of that season?
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: Well, we were just my wife and I sure we're
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: having a discussion coming down driving traffic and probably the
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: best memory is we were in a Boomer's size's basement
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: and we said we're going to super Bowl. We had
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: to in factor that everybody's in. There was no I,
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: it was we. We were all in the same place
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: and we all wanted to have success and go to
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl. Boomer was the MVP that year. It was
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: Boomer's ion in nineteen eighty eight.
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: He always says, I'm not paying the butt.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: He may be right, sure El's here, she can attest.
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: No Boomer is on the He said, he he's a
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: great quarterback. I like playing the Boomer because he's got
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: the factor. He's a he's a coach's coach, and he's
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: a players player. I mean, you can talk to him easy.
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: The funniest thing about it his lockers right next to mine.
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: I said, well, when the press come around, Boomer's got him,
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: I'm gone. So but we have a good relationship now
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: and stuff like that. But actually him getting the Raguana
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: is a great honor too. I talked to him before
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: he went in. I was happy that he got in.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Also, yeah, he went into the Ring of honor last year.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: What was his leadership like in that nineteen eighty eight season.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: It was fantastic and he was always I mean I
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: actually when I was a defensive lineman, I'd always you know,
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: I would watch the offense, you know, I watched practice
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: and in the games and stuff. He can't really watch
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: too much. But actually when they had come off the field,
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: they're running off the field, running on the field as
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: a team, as a group. That's that's camaraderie, and that's
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: how the team is built. And the whole group of
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: offense and defense and special teams, it was us us,
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: not I us. And that's important how he build and
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: has success.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: So a big part of your legacy is obviously what
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: happened in that Super Bowl, the broken leg, and your
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: remarkable recovery after it happened thirty six years later. Do
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: you think about it, do you dream about it? What
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: comes to mind when you think back to that unfortunately
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: gruesome injury.
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: I mask about it every day, every time, every time
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: we go to a function. How's your leg? My leg
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: is just fine. I had some great doctors. Doctor Michael
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: Welts took care of it. I wanted to.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: I actually saw him last weekend and anyway, but he
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: did a good job and the surgery and stuff. But
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: The key on that was, I should say is in
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: my mind was the willpower I'm coming back. I didn't
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: miss a game, even with after I played five or
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: six years with that nail amount tibia. But the thing
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: is on that after that injury, you get you get
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: woken up a little bit. But it was just my
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: mindset and mental toughness. Every day when I was in
• 45:10
  Speaker 6: physical therapy, I'm coming back, I'm coming back. I'm coming back.
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: There was no doubt.
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: It wasn't easy. There was days it felt like you
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: know what, it starts with an S. I can't say it,
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: but no, that was That's one of the things that
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: people now can of recognize me for. But the thing is,
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: I want to recognize for the mental toughness.
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Of my game.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: I have the ability to use a beep button, so
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: feel free to use any language you would like. What
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: was the rehab like following that injury, because as you mentioned,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: you were back for week one.
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: Well, actually I left Cincinnati went back to Claire, Wisconsin,
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: and that's where I did my physical slerapy. I started
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: out there and I was on crutches and one of
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: the craziest things, and I don't remember every moment of it.
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: But the craziest one was I walked behind a snowballer
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: instead of crutch walk behind the snowboard, not flowing snow,
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: just walking.
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: Behind it and stimulating that bone. Actually, it's like a.
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: Deer, a dog. They get hit by a car. They
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: step in that leg, step on that leg, step in
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: that leg. I did the same type of thing. Stepped
• 46:17
  Speaker 6: down it, step down it, step down it. And that
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: was the key to stimulating that bone to grow.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: You famously refused to take painkillers in the locker room
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: after it happened. You wouldn't have gone to the hospital
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: if they didn't make you go in the fourth quarter
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: to try to avoid traffic exiting the Super Bowl. Why
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: was that so important to you?
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: Well, the most important part was, you know I had
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: a TV on. Male remember the game, and they said
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: we have to set it. We're gonna get paid if
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: we said it.
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: Well, I remember the game.
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: He goes, Nope, I said, said it without pain killers.
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: No pain killers. But what did the old cowboys do?
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: Bite a bullet the place, I should say, the placement.
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: I can't give you a ball, Well give me a tall.
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: Then I got a tall A tall he said it.
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: He said it and then actually I think it was
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: just before the third quarter started, mid third quarter says.
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: We have to the animals. Driver in the paramedics. They
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: were fantastic, they said, Tim, we're gonna have to get
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: you out of the locker room for traffic.
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: We have to eat hopital. But we have a problem.
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: I was kind of delirious. Still, what's the problem. We
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: have to go over speed bumps, all right? So the
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: first speed bump went mmm, man, second.
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: Bump went, WHOA, give me the drugs? Right, So it
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: was like he drug me up.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: I had enough to so speed bumps. We finally learned
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: the thing exactly. I've learned Tim Camerid's weakness. After all
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: these years, What if anything do you miss about playing football?
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: Practice?
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Practice?
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: I love practice. Practice is fun to me, and it was.
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: It was fun.
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: Their games are fun and probably the big The coolest
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: thing is you know, the super Bowl is the coolest thing.
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: Get introduced it. That's the coolest thing. Having an accomplishment.
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: I think, practice and a camaraderie. And it wasn't a
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: it wasn't a job for me. I had fun doing it.
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: It wasn't like it was a hardship. You ever go
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: to Wilmington and come out of the locker room sweating
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: like a you know what, that's got to be fun.
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: And I had fun because.
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: Actually, you know, we had a lot of good, good
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: camaraderie with my teammates and stuff, you know, and Chris
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: collins Worth unfortunately Turk sh owners not hearing, but he
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: was my roommate in college and stuff like this.
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: But uh, I had fun. I had fun practicing, and
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: I'd found.
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: The games and and actually the I would get so
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: fired up in the games that one time I remember
• 48:48
  Speaker 6: coming off and I looked at Jim Breach and I.
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: Said, was the score? He was, You know, no, I
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: don't cool it. What's the score?
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: He tell me.
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: I guess you didn't look up there? No, I'm not
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: looking up there. So focused on it.
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: But I miss I missed the games. And I go
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: to practice here once in a while. But still when
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: the season comes around, I.
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: Still get that itch.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Every offensive lineman you ever played with is thinking. Of course,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: he said, practice is what he misses. If anybody's going
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: to say they missed practice, it was CRIMRAI.
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: That's probably right, because actually there were the guys that
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: price against Ay Anthony and all the guys Max, they
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: thought I.
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: Was crazy because it was hell of practice. Now I
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: was going wide open.
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: So and then, actually, the the funny of the stories,
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: a lot of the dvs go you were painting the butt.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: Tim.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: We have to watch the film on you running down
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: to damn field, get the tackle.
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: You got tackles right, all of a sudden you show up.
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: I said, Well, I guess I wanted to get there.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: So you played twelve years for the Bengals and retired
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: at a relatively young age. When did you know that
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: it was your time to hang them?
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: Well, I was always a believer in my body, and
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: my body wasn't working correctly. I lost a step. I
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: couldn't get that left, but the leg I broke. I
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: couldn't get that step up. It wasn't coming fire. One fire,
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: one fire. And I got to the point there I
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: wasn't doing this stuff I used to do, And I said,
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: I want to be remembered as the best of the best.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: That's why he hung it up.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: You got a motorcycle at your retirement game. I know
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: that you loved riding your bikes after your playing days.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Whatever happened to that motorcycle.
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: Well, so actually I got the motorcycle on the field.
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: The person in nineteen ninety four was I retired. I
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: had fourst grag one year. I had him come back
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: and introduce me after one year that he's the most
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: impact coach I had. So anyway, I got the motorcycle,
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: drove it off the field into the tunnel and total security. Guy,
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: We're gonna win the game. Keep it here and I'm
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: doing a victory lap. What so we want to do
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: victory or okay, back out?
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Why did Forrest make such a big impact on you?
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: Because when Forrest I had him one year and he
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: was kind of the I was young, but I watched
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: him coach and was mannerisms meaning his temperament, my way
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: or the highway type of deal. And when I ever thought,
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: I said, I coached on a coach like him, stern
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: to the point, no, bs, you get this way, we're
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: not going to work.
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: And I really respected Forrest Gregg for what he did
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: to means for his first year.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: After living in Colorado for many years, you moved back
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: to Cincinnati a few years back. Bengals fans are delighted
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: to see you at various Bengals events. What's it been
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: like for you to be back around the franchise and
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: to see the current team led by Joe Burrow.
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: Well, this is the this is the reason we moved
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: back is for I could go to the football games
• 51:56
  Speaker 6: and stuff. I enjoyed the games and watching the games.
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: And one thing I'm going to say about Joe, he's
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: a fantastic football player, but he's a factor. He's got it.
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: He's got it. How did the rest is like, he's
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: got it. You just see on that mannerisms. I've seen
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: a lot of players.
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: Now he's got it. So that's so it's said as
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: simple as that he's going to be a great player
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: for a long time.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: How quickly did you see it?
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: National Championship game? I know if you we get him,
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: we're set to go.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: And you knew they were going to get him because
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: they had the number one pick. You're in the Wisconsin
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, You're in the College Football Hall of Fame.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Now you're going to be in the Bengals Ring of Honor.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: How does this honor compare to some of the things
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: that you've been honored for in the past.
• 52:39
  Speaker 6: It's one of those things that you know, high school
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: and college I have a lot of honors and all
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: of those and this is kind of just a closure
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: for me.
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: We have to ring and honor, and there's one other
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: thing maybe we'll have someday.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Canton, one more to go, Tim, As I said at
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: the top, Bengals fans have spoken. A few years ago
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: the team celebrated its fiftieth season. You were chosen as
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: the third greatest player of all time by Bengals fans,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: and they've spoken again, selecting you for the Ring of Honor.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Congratulations on this well deserved honor, and for being the
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: player that many consider to be the toughest in franchise history.
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: Here's the thing everybody asked me about my broken Leagan
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: super Bowl twenty three. You can quote this. You can
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: break my other leg and put me in the Super
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: Bowl again.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: You would break the other one if you could play
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: in another, break the other one.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Here's a stat that Pro Football Hall of Fame voters
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: need to consider. According to Pro Football Reference, crumbrise oney
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: seventeen career tackles are the most ever by an NFL
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle, and he did it as a noseguard, taking
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: on double teams on virtually every snap. Here's hoping he'll
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: get strong consideration for a goal jacket and canton in
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: the near future. But in the meantime, Tim has two
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: honors to look forward to this fall. In addition to
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: joining the Bengals Ring of Honor, Mondovi High School back
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: in Wisconsin is retiring his uniform number. Tim war number
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: forty four back then as a fullback and linebacker. That's
• 54:20
