  And
• 1:04
  the
• 1:04
  history
• 1:05
  of
• 1:05
  football
• 1:06
  has
• 1:06
  really
• 1:06
  taken
• 1:07
  some,
• 1:07
  some
• 1:07
  great
• 1:08
  turns
• 1:08
  and
• 1:09
  had
• 1:09
  some
• 1:09
  great
• 1:10
  trajectories,
• 1:11
  but
• 1:11
  also
• 1:11
  has
• 1:12
  had
• 1:12
  some
• 1:12
  great
• 1:12
  stories
• 1:13
  to
• 1:13
  it,
• 1:14
  both
• 1:14
  from
• 1:14
  the
• 1:15
  famous
• 1:15
  players
• 1:15
  that
• 1:16
  we
• 1:16
  hear
• 1:16
  about
• 1:16
  in
• 1:17
  our
• 1:17
  living
• 1:17
  rooms
• 1:17
  every
• 1:18
  week
• 1:18
  to
• 1:18
  week
• 1:18
  and
• 1:18
  still
• 1:19
  talk
• 1:19
  about
• 1:19
  to
• 1:20
  this
• 1:20
  day
• 1:20
  decades
• 1:21
  later
• 1:22
  to
• 1:22
  the
• 1:22
  guys
• 1:23
  maybe
• 1:23
  we
• 1:23
  haven't
• 1:23
  heard
• 1:24
  that
• 1:24
  much
• 1:24
  about.
• 1:25
  We
• 1:25
  have
• 1:25
  a
• 1:25
  couple
• 1:25
  interesting
• 1:26
  stories
• 1:26
  today
• 1:27
  on
• 1:27
  some
• 1:28
  great
• 1:28
  legendary
• 1:29
  players.
• 1:29
  And
• 1:30
  the
• 1:30
  first
• 1:30
  one
• 1:30
  is
• 1:31
  maybe
• 1:31
  one
• 1:31
  of
• 1:32
  those
• 1:32
  players
• 1:32
  you've
• 1:33
  never
• 1:33
  heard
• 1:33
  about,
• 1:34
  but
• 1:34
  this
• 1:34
  is
• 1:34
  an
• 1:34
  amazing
• 1:35
  player
• 1:35
  that
• 1:36
  coach
• 1:36
  Hank
• 1:36
  Stram
• 1:37
  of
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  Kansas
• 1:38
  City
• 1:38
  Chiefs
• 1:38
  used
• 1:39
  in
• 1:39
  a
• 1:39
  very
• 1:40
  unusual
• 1:41
  way.
• 1:42
  In
• 1:42
  the
• 1:43
  late
• 1:43
  1960s,
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  NFL
• 1:44
  was
• 1:45
  at
• 1:45
  an
• 1:45
  arms
• 1:45
  race.
• 1:46
  Coaches
• 1:47
  were
• 1:47
  looking
• 1:47
  for
• 1:47
  any
• 1:48
  edge,
• 1:48
  any
• 1:49
  loophole
• 1:49
  to
• 1:49
  snatch
• 1:50
  victory.
• 1:51
  But
• 1:51
  while
• 1:51
  most
• 1:51
  teams
• 1:52
  were
• 1:52
  looking
• 1:52
  for
• 1:52
  at
• 1:52
  the
• 1:53
  playbook,
• 1:53
  the
• 1:54
  Kansas
• 1:54
  City
• 1:54
  Chiefs
• 1:55
  were
• 1:55
  looking
• 1:55
  at
• 1:55
  the
• 1:56
  rafters.
• 1:57
  Meet
• 1:57
  Morris
• 1:57
  Stroud.
• 1:58
  At
• 1:59
  6
• 1:59
  foot
• 1:59
  10,
• 1:59
  he
• 2:00
  remains
• 2:00
  one
• 2:00
  of
• 2:00
  the
• 2:00
  tallest
• 2:01
  players
• 2:01
  ever
• 2:01
  to
• 2:01
  lace
• 2:02
  up
• 2:02
  a
• 2:02
  pair
• 2:02
  of
• 2:02
  cleats
• 2:03
  in
• 2:03
  the
• 2:03
  National
• 2:03
  Football
• 2:03
  League.
• 2:04
  On
• 2:04
  paper,
• 2:05
  he
• 2:05
  was
• 2:05
  a
• 2:05
  tight
• 2:06
  end,
• 2:06
  but
• 2:06
  Stroud
• 2:07
  was
• 2:07
  a
• 2:07
  physical
• 2:08
  anomaly
• 2:08
  in
• 2:08
  an
• 2:09
  era
• 2:09
  of
• 2:09
  smaller,
• 2:10
  scrappier
• 2:10
  players.
• 2:11
  But
• 2:12
  head
• 2:12
  coach
• 2:12
  Hank
• 2:13
  Stram
• 2:13
  didn't
• 2:14
  just
• 2:14
  want
• 2:14
  Stroud
• 2:14
  to
• 2:15
  catch
• 2:15
  passes.
• 2:16
  He
• 2:16
  had
• 2:16
  a
• 2:16
  vision
• 2:17
  that
• 2:17
  felt
• 2:17
  more
• 2:17
  like
• 2:18
  a
• 2:18
  heist
• 2:19
  than
• 2:19
  a
• 2:19
  strategy.
• 2:20
  The
• 2:20
  logic
• 2:21
  was
• 2:21
  deviously
• 2:22
  simple.
• 2:23
  Why
• 2:23
  let
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  ball
• 2:24
  go
• 2:24
  through
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  uprights
• 2:25
  when
• 2:25
  you
• 2:25
  have
• 2:26
  a
• 2:26
  man
• 2:26
  tall
• 2:26
  enough
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  reach
• 2:27
  them?
• 2:28
  During
• 2:29
  field
• 2:29
  goal
• 2:29
  attempts,
• 2:30
  Stroud
• 2:30
  wouldn't
• 2:31
  rush
• 2:31
  the
• 2:31
  kicker.
• 2:32
  He
• 2:32
  wouldn't
• 2:32
  try
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  penetrate
• 2:33
  the
• 2:34
  line.
• 2:34
  Instead,
• 2:35
  he
• 2:35
  would
• 2:35
  retreat.
• 2:36
  He'd
• 2:36
  stand
• 2:36
  directly
• 2:37
  under
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  crossbar,
• 2:38
  wait
• 2:39
  for
• 2:39
  the
• 2:39
  ball
• 2:39
  to
• 2:39
  reach
• 2:40
  its
• 2:40
  apex
• 2:41
  and
• 2:41
  simply
• 2:42
  jump.
• 2:44
  The
• 2:44
  tactic?
• 2:44
  Strike.
• 2:45
  Stroud
• 2:45
  would
• 2:45
  swat
• 2:46
  away
• 2:46
  kicks
• 2:46
  that
• 2:46
  were
• 2:46
  clearly
• 2:47
  on
• 2:47
  a
• 2:47
  scoring
• 2:48
  trajectory
• 2:48
  that
• 2:48
  he
• 2:49
  could
• 2:49
  reach
• 2:49
  with
• 2:50
  his
• 2:50
  hands
• 2:50
  and
• 2:50
  his
• 2:51
  leg
• 2:51
  power.
• 2:51
  It
• 2:52
  turned
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  automatic
• 2:53
  three
• 2:53
  points
• 2:54
  into
• 2:54
  a
• 2:54
  game
• 2:55
  of
• 2:55
  basketball
• 2:56
  played
• 2:56
  on
• 2:56
  grass.
• 2:57
  It
• 2:57
  was
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  ultimate
• 2:58
  defensive
• 2:59
  cheat
• 2:59
  code.
• 3:00
  You
• 3:00
  didn't
• 3:00
  need
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  block
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  kick
• 3:01
  at
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  line.
• 3:02
  You
• 3:02
  just
• 3:02
  needed
• 3:03
  a
• 3:03
  giant
• 3:03
  play,
• 3:04
  a
• 3:05
  goalie
• 3:05
  at
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  rim.
• 3:07
  The
• 3:07
  NFL
• 3:08
  offices
• 3:08
  in
• 3:08
  New
• 3:08
  York
• 3:08
  weren't
• 3:09
  amused.
• 3:10
  This
• 3:10
  wasn't
• 3:10
  football.
• 3:12
  It
• 3:12
  was
• 3:12
  an
• 3:12
  existential
• 3:13
  threat
• 3:13
  to
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  scoring
• 3:14
  system.
• 3:15
  And
• 3:15
  if
• 3:15
  ever
• 3:15
  a
• 3:16
  team
• 3:16
  found
• 3:16
  a
• 3:16
  seven
• 3:17
  footer
• 3:17
  to
• 3:17
  camp
• 3:18
  out
• 3:18
  under
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  goal
• 3:18
  post,
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  field
• 3:19
  goal
• 3:20
  would
• 3:20
  become
• 3:20
  extinct.
• 3:22
  Or
• 3:22
  they
• 3:22
  would
• 3:22
  have
• 3:23
  to
• 3:23
  have
• 3:23
  a
• 3:23
  higher
• 3:23
  trajectory.
• 3:24
  In
• 3:24
  1970,
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  league
• 3:26
  lowered
• 3:26
  the
• 3:26
  boom.
• 3:27
  The
• 3:28
  Stroud
• 3:28
  rules,
• 3:28
  it
• 3:29
  was
• 3:29
  called,
• 3:29
  was
• 3:30
  the
• 3:30
  official
• 3:30
  NFL
• 3:31
  amendment
• 3:32
  to
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  rule
• 3:32
  book
• 3:32
  to
• 3:33
  preserve
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  integrity
• 3:34
  of
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  kicking
• 3:34
  game.
• 3:35
  The
• 3:35
  new
• 3:35
  regulation
• 3:36
  stated
• 3:37
  it
• 3:38
  is
• 3:38
  illegal
• 3:38
  to
• 3:39
  touch
• 3:39
  or
• 3:39
  deflect
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  ball
• 3:40
  that
• 3:40
  is
• 3:40
  above
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  crossbar
• 3:41
  between
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  uprights.
• 3:43
  It
• 3:43
  was
• 3:43
  goaltending.
• 3:44
  And
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  penalty
• 3:46
  as
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  field
• 3:46
  goal
• 3:47
  was
• 3:47
  ruled
• 3:47
  successful
• 3:48
  and
• 3:48
  three
• 3:49
  points
• 3:49
  were
• 3:49
  awarded.
• 3:50
  The
• 3:50
  Morris
• 3:51
  Stroud
• 3:51
  never
• 3:51
  actually
• 3:52
  recorded
• 3:52
  a
• 3:53
  stat
• 3:53
  for
• 3:53
  a
• 3:53
  goal
• 3:54
  post
• 3:54
  block
• 3:54
  in
• 3:54
  an
• 3:54
  official
• 3:55
  game
• 3:55
  that
• 3:55
  changed
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  score.
• 3:56
  But
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  mere
• 3:57
  threat
• 3:57
  of
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  6
• 3:58
  foot
• 3:58
  10
• 3:58
  frame
• 3:59
  was
• 3:59
  enough
• 3:59
  to
• 4:00
  change
• 4:00
  the
• 4:00
  laws
• 4:00
  of
• 4:00
  the
• 4:01
  game
• 4:01
  forever.
• 4:02
  So
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  next
• 4:02
  time
• 4:03
  you
• 4:03
  see
• 4:03
  a
• 4:03
  ball
• 4:03
  sail
• 4:04
  through
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  uprights
• 4:05
  with
• 4:05
  with
• 4:05
  room
• 4:05
  to
• 4:05
  spare,
• 4:06
  remember
• 4:07
  Morris
• 4:08
  Stroud.
• 4:08
  He's
• 4:09
  the
• 4:09
  reason
• 4:10
  the
• 4:10
  sky
• 4:10
  stays
• 4:11
  open.
• 4:12
  Yeah,
• 4:13
  that
• 4:13
  is
• 4:13
  definitely
• 4:14
  one
• 4:15
  different
• 4:15
  way
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  use
• 4:16
  a
• 4:16
  player.
• 4:17
  And
• 4:17
  it's
• 4:18
  so
• 4:18
  unique
• 4:18
  that
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  NFL
• 4:19
  has
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  make
• 4:20
  a
• 4:20
  rule
• 4:20
  to
• 4:21
  stop
• 4:21
  you
• 4:21
  from
• 4:21
  doing
• 4:22
  it
• 4:22
  before
• 4:22
  something
• 4:23
  can
• 4:23
  really
• 4:23
  happen.
• 4:24
  But
• 4:25
  we
• 4:25
  have
• 4:25
  those
• 4:25
  players
• 4:26
  that
• 4:26
  do
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  mundane
• 4:28
  tasks
• 4:29
  that
• 4:29
  we
• 4:29
  see
• 4:29
  every
• 4:30
  day,
• 4:30
  but
• 4:30
  just
• 4:30
  do
• 4:30
  it
• 4:31
  to
• 4:31
  such
• 4:31
  a
• 4:31
  high
• 4:31
  elite
• 4:32
  level
• 4:33
  that
• 4:33
  nobody
• 4:34
  can
• 4:34
  even
• 4:34
  compare
• 4:35
  to
• 4:35
  them.
• 4:35
  You
• 4:35
  know,
• 4:36
  they
• 4:36
  are
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  goats,
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  greatest
• 4:37
  of
• 4:37
  all
• 4:37
  time
• 4:38
  at
• 4:38
  their
• 4:38
  positions.
• 4:39
  Well,
• 4:39
  there's
• 4:40
  been
• 4:40
  a
• 4:40
  debate
• 4:41
  going
• 4:42
  on
• 4:42
  for
• 4:42
  quite
• 4:42
  a
• 4:42
  while
• 4:43
  about
• 4:43
  the
• 4:43
  wide
• 4:43
  receiver
• 4:44
  position,
• 4:45
  and
• 4:46
  you
• 4:46
  know,
• 4:46
  dramatically
• 4:47
  dominated
• 4:47
  by
• 4:48
  one
• 4:48
  man
• 4:49
  in
• 4:49
  recent
• 4:50
  modern
• 4:50
  football
• 4:51
  history.
• 4:51
  But
• 4:52
  maybe
• 4:52
  somebody
• 4:53
  from
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  past
• 4:54
  has
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  right
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  talk
• 4:55
  about
• 4:55
  them
• 4:56
  as
• 4:56
  a
• 4:56
  crown,
• 4:57
  too.
• 4:57
  So
• 4:57
  here's
• 4:58
  a
• 4:58
  part
• 4:58
  of
• 4:58
  our
• 4:58
  story
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  I
• 4:59
  think
• 4:59
  you
• 5:00
  will
• 5:00
  enjoy
• 5:00
  on
• 5:00
  this
• 5:01
  too.
• 5:02
  In
• 5:02
  a
• 5:02
  debate
• 5:02
  over
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  greatest
• 5:03
  wide
• 5:03
  receiver
• 5:04
  of
• 5:04
  all
• 5:04
  time,
• 5:05
  Jerry
• 5:05
  Rice
• 5:05
  is
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  default
• 5:06
  answer.
• 5:07
  His
• 5:07
  records
• 5:08
  are
• 5:08
  so
• 5:08
  massive,
• 5:09
  they
• 5:09
  look
• 5:09
  like
• 5:09
  typos.
• 5:10
  But
• 5:10
  what
• 5:11
  if
• 5:11
  we
• 5:11
  define
• 5:11
  dominance
• 5:13
  not
• 5:13
  by
• 5:13
  career
• 5:14
  totals,
• 5:14
  by
• 5:15
  how
• 5:15
  much
• 5:15
  a
• 5:15
  player
• 5:16
  embarrassed
• 5:16
  their
• 5:17
  own
• 5:17
  era?
• 5:17
  With
• 5:18
  this
• 5:18
  in
• 5:18
  mind,
• 5:18
  there
• 5:19
  is
• 5:19
  a
• 5:19
  ghost
• 5:19
  from
• 5:20
  Green
• 5:20
  Bay
• 5:20
  who
• 5:21
  might
• 5:21
  actually
• 5:21
  have
• 5:22
  Rice
• 5:22
  beat.
• 5:23
  Enter
• 5:23
  Don
• 5:23
  Hudson,
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  man
• 5:25
  often
• 5:25
  called
• 5:26
  the
• 5:26
  Babe
• 5:26
  Ruth
• 5:27
  of
• 5:27
  football.
• 5:28
  To
• 5:28
  understand
• 5:28
  Hudson,
• 5:29
  you
• 5:29
  have
• 5:29
  to
• 5:30
  look
• 5:30
  at
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  gaps.
• 5:31
  In
• 5:31
  1942,
• 5:32
  Hudson
• 5:32
  caught
• 5:33
  74
• 5:33
  passes.
• 5:34
  The
• 5:34
  guy
• 5:35
  in
• 5:35
  second
• 5:35
  place,
• 5:36
  he
• 5:36
  had
• 5:36
  33.
• 5:37
  Hudson
• 5:38
  didn't
• 5:38
  just
• 5:38
  lead
• 5:38
  the
• 5:39
  league,
• 5:39
  he
• 5:39
  was
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  league.
• 5:40
  Over
• 5:41
  11
• 5:41
  seasons,
• 5:42
  Hudson
• 5:42
  won
• 5:42
  the
• 5:43
  receiving
• 5:43
  triple
• 5:43
  crown,
• 5:44
  leading
• 5:44
  in
• 5:45
  catches,
• 5:45
  yards,
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  touchdowns
• 5:47
  seven
• 5:47
  times.
• 5:47
  To
• 5:48
  put
• 5:48
  that
• 5:48
  in
• 5:48
  perspective,
• 5:49
  that
• 5:49
  accounts
• 5:50
  for
• 5:50
  nearly
• 5:50
  40%
• 5:51
  of
• 5:51
  all
• 5:51
  Triple
• 5:52
  Crowns
• 5:52
  in
• 5:52
  NFL
• 5:53
  history.
• 5:53
  He
• 5:54
  was
• 5:54
  inventing
• 5:54
  the
• 5:54
  modern
• 5:55
  passing
• 5:55
  game
• 5:56
  while
• 5:56
  defenders
• 5:57
  were
• 5:57
  still
• 5:57
  trying
• 5:57
  to
• 5:58
  figure
• 5:58
  out
• 5:58
  how
• 5:58
  to
• 5:59
  tackle.
• 5:59
  He
• 5:59
  led
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  league
• 6:00
  in
• 6:00
  touchdowns
• 6:01
  eight
• 6:01
  times.
• 6:01
  8.
• 6:02
  He
• 6:02
  retired
• 6:03
  with
• 6:03
  99
• 6:04
  scores,
• 6:04
  a
• 6:05
  record
• 6:05
  that
• 6:05
  stood
• 6:05
  for
• 6:05
  44
• 6:06
  years
• 6:06
  until
• 6:07
  Steve
• 6:07
  Largent
• 6:08
  finally
• 6:08
  broke
• 6:08
  it
• 6:09
  in
• 6:09
  a
• 6:09
  much
• 6:09
  longer
• 6:10
  season.
• 6:10
  And
• 6:11
  he
• 6:11
  did
• 6:11
  all
• 6:11
  that
• 6:12
  while
• 6:12
  playing
• 6:12
  elite
• 6:13
  defense,
• 6:13
  too,
• 6:14
  retiring
• 6:15
  with
• 6:15
  30
• 6:15
  career
• 6:16
  interceptions.
• 6:17
  So
• 6:17
  you
• 6:17
  may
• 6:17
  ask,
• 6:17
  why
• 6:18
  is
• 6:18
  Rice
• 6:18
  still
• 6:19
  the
• 6:19
  goat?
• 6:20
  Because
• 6:20
  dominance
• 6:21
  isn't
• 6:21
  just
• 6:21
  a
• 6:21
  peak,
• 6:22
  it's
• 6:22
  a
• 6:22
  Siege.
• 6:23
  Rice
• 6:23
  played
• 6:24
  20
• 6:24
  seasons
• 6:25
  and
• 6:25
  303
• 6:26
  games,
• 6:26
  nearly
• 6:27
  triple
• 6:27
  Hudson's
• 6:28
  career.
• 6:28
  Hudson
• 6:29
  played
• 6:29
  in
• 6:29
  an
• 6:29
  era
• 6:30
  of
• 6:30
  leather
• 6:30
  helmets
• 6:30
  and
• 6:31
  frankly,
• 6:31
  a
• 6:31
  shallower
• 6:32
  talent
• 6:32
  pool
• 6:32
  due
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  era's
• 6:33
  segregation
• 6:34
  and
• 6:34
  the
• 6:35
  impact
• 6:35
  of
• 6:35
  World
• 6:35
  War
• 6:36
  II.
• 6:36
  Rice
• 6:37
  dominated
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  league
• 6:38
  during
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  most
• 6:38
  competitive
• 6:39
  era
• 6:39
  of
• 6:39
  football,
• 6:40
  facing
• 6:40
  hall
• 6:41
  of
• 6:41
  Fame
• 6:41
  cornerbacks
• 6:42
  in
• 6:42
  a
• 6:42
  league
• 6:42
  designed
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  stop
• 6:43
  him.
• 6:44
  Rice
• 6:45
  has
• 6:45
  22,895
• 6:47
  receiving
• 6:48
  yards
• 6:49
  aren't
• 6:49
  just
• 6:49
  a
• 6:49
  record,
• 6:50
  they
• 6:50
  are
• 6:50
  a
• 6:51
  mountain.
• 6:51
  A
• 6:52
  gap
• 6:52
  between
• 6:52
  Rice
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  second
• 6:53
  place
• 6:54
  is
• 6:54
  almost
• 6:54
  an
• 6:54
  entire
• 6:55
  hall
• 6:55
  of
• 6:55
  Fame
• 6:56
  career
• 6:56
  in
• 6:56
  itself.
• 6:57
  And
• 6:57
  if
• 6:57
  Hudson
• 6:58
  was
• 6:58
  a
• 6:58
  supernova
• 6:59
  that
• 6:59
  blinded
• 7:00
  us
• 7:00
  in
• 7:00
  the
• 7:01
  1940s,
• 7:02
  Rice
• 7:02
  was
• 7:02
  a
• 7:03
  son
• 7:03
  that
• 7:03
  refused
• 7:03
  to
• 7:04
  set
• 7:04
  for
• 7:04
  two
• 7:05
  decades.
• 7:06
  Here's
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  statistical
• 7:08
  truth.
• 7:08
  If
• 7:08
  you
• 7:09
  measure
• 7:09
  dominance
• 7:09
  by
• 7:10
  a
• 7:10
  standard
• 7:10
  deviation,
• 7:11
  how
• 7:12
  far
• 7:12
  ahead
• 7:12
  were
• 7:13
  you
• 7:13
  from
• 7:13
  the
• 7:13
  average
• 7:13
  player
• 7:14
  next
• 7:14
  to
• 7:14
  you?
• 7:15
  Don
• 7:15
  Hudson
• 7:16
  is
• 7:16
  the
• 7:16
  most
• 7:16
  dominant
• 7:17
  player
• 7:17
  in
• 7:17
  NFL
• 7:17
  history.
• 7:18
  He
• 7:18
  wasn't
• 7:18
  just
• 7:19
  better,
• 7:19
  he
• 7:20
  was
• 7:20
  a
• 7:20
  different
• 7:20
  species.
• 7:21
  But
• 7:21
  if
• 7:22
  you
• 7:22
  define
• 7:22
  dominance
• 7:23
  as
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  highest
• 7:23
  level
• 7:23
  of
• 7:24
  sustained
• 7:24
  excellence
• 7:25
  against
• 7:25
  the
• 7:26
  best
• 7:26
  athletes
• 7:26
  on
• 7:27
  earth,
• 7:27
  well
• 7:27
  my
• 7:28
  friends,
• 7:28
  Jerry
• 7:28
  Rice
• 7:29
  stands
• 7:29
  alone.
• 7:30
  Hudson
• 7:31
  revolutionized
• 7:32
  the
• 7:32
  game,
• 7:32
  but
• 7:32
  Rice
• 7:33
  perfected
• 7:33
  it.
• 7:34
  One
• 7:34
  is
• 7:34
  was
• 7:35
  a
• 7:35
  pioneer
• 7:35
  who
• 7:36
  broke
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  math
• 7:36
  and
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  other
• 7:37
  was
• 7:37
  a
• 7:37
  machine
• 7:38
  that
• 7:38
  broke
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  record
• 7:38
  book.
• 7:39
  Who's
• 7:39
  your
• 7:40
  pick?
• 7:40
  The
• 7:41
  Babe
• 7:41
  Ruth
• 7:41
  of
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41

• 7:42
  or
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  goat?
• 7:43
  The
• 7:43
  comparison
• 7:44
  is
• 7:44
  what
• 7:44
  makes
• 7:44

• 7:45
  fun.
