• 1:41
  Scoring
• 1:41
  is
• 1:41
  more
• 1:42
  interesting
• 1:42
  than
• 1:42
  rushing

  So,

  individual
• 1:58
  games,
• 1:58
  etc,
• 1:59
  and
• 2:00
  so
• 2:00
  I
• 2:00

• 2:00
  always
• 2:00
  like,
• 2:01
  you
• 2:01

• 2:02
  and,
• 2:03
  you

  issues
• 2:04
  where
• 2:04
  it's
• 2:05
  like
• 2:05
  how

  know,
• 2:06
  what
• 2:06
  are

  that
• 2:07
  that's
• 2:08
  gonna
• 2:08
  happen?
• 2:10
  And
• 2:10
  so
• 2:10
  this
• 2:10
  is

  one
• 2:11
  of
• 2:11
  them.
• 2:11
  So

  about.
• 2:12
  Story
• 2:12
  is
• 2:13
  about
• 2:13
  a
• 2:13
  guy
• 2:13
  named
• 2:15
  Gene
• 2:15
  Roberts
• 2:16
  who,
• 2:17
  I'm
• 2:17
  guessing
• 2:18
  the
• 2:18
  vast
• 2:18
  majority
• 2:18
  of
• 2:19
  people
• 2:19
  have
• 2:19
  no
• 2:19
  idea
• 2:19
  who
• 2:20
  he
• 2:20
  is
• 2:21
  and.
• 2:22
  Because
• 2:22
  I
• 2:22
  didn't
• 2:23
  really.
• 2:23
  And.
• 2:25
  But
• 2:25
  he
• 2:25
  grew
• 2:26
  up
• 2:26
  in
• 2:27
  Kansas
• 2:28
  City,
• 2:28
  late
• 2:29
  30s,
• 2:30
  you
• 2:30
  know,
• 2:31
  and
• 2:31
  in
• 2:31
  1940
• 2:32
  he
• 2:33
  was
• 2:33
  like
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  MVP
• 2:34
  of
• 2:34
  the
• 2:34
  Kansas
• 2:35
  City
• 2:35
  area
• 2:35
  in
• 2:35
  football.
• 2:38
  And
• 2:38
  he
• 2:38
  ends
• 2:38
  up
• 2:38
  going
• 2:38
  to
• 2:39
  Kansas
• 2:39
  on
• 2:39
  a
• 2:40
  football
• 2:40
  scholarship
• 2:41
  and
• 2:42
  there
• 2:43
  was,
• 2:43
  you
• 2:43

• 2:44
  no
• 2:44
  freshman
• 2:44
  eligibility
• 2:45
  at
• 2:45

  time.
• 2:45
  So
• 2:45
  he's
• 2:46
  playing
• 2:46
  on
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  freshman
• 2:46
  team.
• 2:47
  But
• 2:47
  really
• 2:48
  from
• 2:48
  the
• 2:48
  moment
• 2:48
  he

  stepped
• 2:49

  campus,

  injured
• 5:01
  and
• 5:01
  then
• 5:02
  his
• 5:02
  third
• 5:03
  year
• 5:03
  in
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  NFL,
• 5:05
  he
• 5:05
  ends
• 5:05
  up
• 5:05
  leading
• 5:05
  the
• 5:06
  NFL
• 5:06
  in
• 5:06
  scoring
• 5:07
  and
• 5:07
  he's
• 5:07
  named
• 5:07
  all
• 5:07
  pro.
• 5:08
  So
• 5:08
  now
• 5:09
  he's
• 5:09
  led
• 5:10
  the
• 5:11
  NCAA
• 5:11
  in
• 5:12
  scoring
• 5:12
  in
• 5:12
  a
• 5:13
  season
• 5:13
  and
• 5:14
  he
• 5:14
  leads
• 5:14
  the
• 5:14
  NFL
• 5:15
  in
• 5:15
  scoring
• 5:15
  in
• 5:16
  a
• 5:16
  season.
• 5:18
  The
• 5:18
  next
• 5:19
  year,
• 5:19
  his
• 5:19
  fourth
• 5:20
  year
• 5:20
  in
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  NFL,
• 5:21
  he
• 5:21
  sets
• 5:21
  a
• 5:22
  giant
• 5:22
  single
• 5:22
  game
• 5:23
  rushing
• 5:23
  record
• 5:24
  that
• 5:24
  I
• 5:24
  think
• 5:24
  at
• 5:25
  218
• 5:25
  yards,
• 5:26
  which
• 5:26
  I
• 5:26
  think
• 5:26
  it
• 5:27
  was,
• 5:28
  is
• 5:28
  it
• 5:28
  Kiki
• 5:28
  Barber
• 5:29
  or
• 5:29
  one
• 5:29
  of
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  Barber
• 5:30
  brothers,
• 5:30
  I
• 5:30
  think
• 5:30
  broke
• 5:31
  that
• 5:31
  record.
• 5:31
  Tiki
• 5:32
  Barber
• 5:32
  played
• 5:33
  for
• 5:33
  Giants.
• 5:33
  Yeah.
• 5:34
  So
• 5:34
  you
• 5:34
  know,
• 5:34
  it
• 5:35
  stood
• 5:35
  for
• 5:35
  quite
• 5:35
  a
• 5:35
  while.
• 5:38
  So.
• 5:38
  But
• 5:38
  for
• 5:39
  whatever
• 5:39
  reason,
• 5:39
  after
• 5:40
  that
• 5:40
  season,
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  Giants
• 5:41
  wave
• 5:41
  them.
• 5:43
  Oh
• 5:43
  no,
• 5:43
  actually
• 5:43
  I
• 5:43
  treat
• 5:44
  him
• 5:44
  to
• 5:44
  Green
• 5:44
  Bay
• 5:44
  and
• 5:45
  he's
• 5:45
  like,
• 5:46
  I'm
• 5:46
  not
• 5:46
  going
• 5:46
  to
• 5:47
  Green
• 5:47
  Bay.
• 5:49
  So
• 5:49
  he
• 5:49
  signs
• 5:50
  with
• 5:51
  the
• 5:51
  Montreal
• 5:52
  Alouettes
• 5:53
  in
• 5:53
  the
• 5:54
  Inter
• 5:54
  Provincial
• 5:56
  Rugby
• 5:57
  Football
• 5:57
  Union.
• 5:57
  So
• 5:58
  this
• 5:58
  is
• 5:58
  pre
• 5:58
  cfl,
• 5:59
  there
• 5:59
  was
• 5:59
  still
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  east
• 6:01
  teams
• 6:01
  and
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  west
• 6:02
  teams
• 6:02
  in
• 6:02
  Canada.
• 6:03
  And
• 6:04
  so
• 6:05
  he
• 6:05
  plays
• 6:05
  for
• 6:05
  them,
• 6:06
  doesn't
• 6:06
  really
• 6:06
  do
• 6:07
  much.
• 6:08
  They
• 6:08
  release
• 6:09
  him
• 6:09
  after
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  year
• 6:10
  and
• 6:10
  he
• 6:10
  signs
• 6:11
  with
• 6:11
  Ottawa
• 6:12
  and
• 6:12
  plays
• 6:13
  with
• 6:13
  them
• 6:13
  for
• 6:13
  three
• 6:13
  years.
• 6:13
  And
• 6:14
  in
• 6:14
  1953
• 6:16
  he
• 6:16
  leads
• 6:17
  the
• 6:18
  IFR
• 6:19
  IRFU
• 6:20
  in
• 6:20
  scoring.
• 6:21
  So
• 6:22
  now
• 6:22
  he's
• 6:22
  led
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  NCAA
• 6:24
  in
• 6:24
  scoring,
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  NFL
• 6:25
  in
• 6:25
  scoring
• 6:25
  and
• 6:26
  Canadian
• 6:27
  pro
• 6:27
  football
• 6:28
  in
• 6:28
  scoring,
• 6:29
  you
• 6:29
  know,
• 6:29
  on
• 6:30
  a
• 6:30
  season
• 6:30
  basis.
• 6:31
  Then
• 6:32
  he
• 6:32
  ends
• 6:32
  up
• 6:32
  retiring,
• 6:33
  you
• 6:33
  know,
• 6:33
  after
• 6:33
  the
• 6:34
  1954
• 6:35
  season.
• 6:36
  So
• 6:36
  it's
• 6:36
  just
• 6:37
  kind
• 6:37
  of
• 6:37
  cool.
• 6:37
  It's
• 6:37
  like,
• 6:38
  what
• 6:38
  are
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  chances
• 6:39
  that
• 6:39
  one
• 6:40
  guy,
• 6:40
  you
• 6:41
  know,
• 6:41
  could
• 6:42
  lead
• 6:43
  ncaa,
• 6:44
  NFL
• 6:45
  and
• 6:45
  we'll
• 6:46
  just
• 6:46
  Call
• 6:46
  it
• 6:46
  the
• 6:46
  cfl,
• 6:47
  but,
• 6:47
  you
• 6:47
  know,
• 6:47
  Canadian
• 6:47
  pro
• 6:48
  football
• 6:49
  in,
• 6:49
  you
• 6:49
  know,
• 6:50
  four
• 6:50
  season
• 6:51
  in
• 6:51
  scoring,
• 6:52
  you
• 6:53
  know.
• 6:53
  Yeah,
• 6:53
  that's,
• 6:54
  you
• 6:54
  know,
• 6:54
  amazing.
• 6:55
  I
• 6:55
  mean
• 6:55
  that's,
• 6:56
  that's
• 6:56
  the,
• 6:56
  the,
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  biggest
• 6:58
  stages
• 6:59
  you
• 6:59
  can
• 6:59
  play
• 6:59
  in
• 7:00
  football
• 7:00
  at
• 7:00
  that
• 7:00
  time,
• 7:01
  you
• 7:01
  know,
• 7:01
  that's,
• 7:01
  that's
• 7:01
  pretty
• 7:02
  cool.
• 7:03
  Yeah.
• 7:03
  And
• 7:03
  you
• 7:03
  know,
• 7:03
  back
• 7:03
  then
• 7:05
  there,
• 7:05
  there
• 7:05
  were
• 7:06
  far
• 7:06
  fewer.
• 7:07
  So
• 7:08
  there
• 7:08
  weren't
• 7:08
  specialist
• 7:09
  kickers.
• 7:09
  Right.
• 7:10
  You
• 7:10
  know,
• 7:10
  nowadays
• 7:11
  kickers
• 7:12
  typically
• 7:12
  lead
• 7:12
  the
• 7:13
  leagues
• 7:13
  in
• 7:13
  scoring
• 7:15
  because
• 7:15
  they
• 7:15
  make
• 7:16
  so
• 7:16
  many
• 7:16
  of
• 7:16
  them,
• 7:16
  they
• 7:16
  can
• 7:17
  kick
• 7:17
  them
• 7:17
  from
• 7:17
  so
• 7:17
  far.
• 7:17
  But
• 7:18
  back
• 7:18
  then
• 7:18
  it
• 7:18
  was
• 7:18
  like
• 7:18
  Lou
• 7:19
  Groza,
• 7:20
  he
• 7:20
  was
• 7:20
  considered,
• 7:20
  you
• 7:21
  know,
• 7:21
  an
• 7:21
  absolute
• 7:21
  stud
• 7:23
  and
• 7:23
  he
• 7:23
  couldn't,
• 7:24
  he
• 7:24
  couldn't
• 7:25
  make
• 7:25
  a
• 7:25
  team
• 7:25
  nowadays,
• 7:26
  at
• 7:26
  least
• 7:26
  as
• 7:26
  a
• 7:26
  kicker,
• 7:27
  you
• 7:27
  know,
• 7:27
  just
• 7:28
  wasn't,
• 7:28
  couldn't
• 7:29
  kick
• 7:29
  him
• 7:29
  far
• 7:29
  enough
• 7:29
  and
• 7:30
  accurately
• 7:30
  enough,
• 7:32
  you
• 7:32
  know,
• 7:33
  because
• 7:33
  he
• 7:33
  used
• 7:33
  it
• 7:33
  all,
• 7:34
  you
• 7:34
  know,
• 7:34
  straight
• 7:34
  ahead
• 7:34
  technique.
• 7:35
  Right.
• 7:37
  So
• 7:37
  back
• 7:37
  then
• 7:38
  score.
• 7:38
  This
• 7:38
  leading
• 7:39
  score
• 7:39
  oftentimes
• 7:40
  was,
• 7:41
  oftentimes
• 7:42
  it
• 7:42
  was
• 7:42
  a,
• 7:43
  you
• 7:43
  know,
• 7:44
  a
• 7:45
  running
• 7:45
  back,
• 7:46
  sometimes
• 7:46
  a
• 7:46
  receiver
• 7:47
  who
• 7:47
  also
• 7:47
  kicked.
• 7:49
  Right.
• 7:50
  Now
• 7:50
  he
• 7:50
  did
• 7:50
  it
• 7:50
  just.
• 7:51
  I
• 7:51
  don't
• 7:51
  think
• 7:51
  he
• 7:52
  kicked
• 7:52
  at
• 7:52
  all,
• 7:52
  you
• 7:53
  know,
• 7:53
  but
• 7:53
  he,
• 7:53
  I
• 7:54
  think
• 7:54
  he
• 7:54
  did
• 7:54
  it
• 7:54
  pretty
• 7:54
  much
• 7:55
  straight
• 7:55
  up
• 7:55
  on,
• 7:56
  on
• 7:56
  just
• 7:57
  scoring
• 7:57
  touchdowns.
• 7:58
  So
• 7:59
  anyways,
• 8:00
  just,
• 8:01
  you
• 8:02
  know,
• 8:02
  this
• 8:02
  guy
• 8:02
  who
• 8:04
  wasn't
• 8:04
  like,
• 8:05
  you
• 8:05
  know,
• 8:05
  it
• 8:05
  wasn't
• 8:05
  like
• 8:05
  Jim
• 8:06
  Brown
• 8:06
  who
• 8:06
  just
• 8:06
  came
• 8:06
  in
• 8:07
  and
• 8:07
  just
• 8:07
  destroyed
• 8:08
  everybody,
• 8:08
  right?
• 8:10
  He
• 8:10
  was.
• 8:10
  Sometimes
• 8:11
  he
• 8:11
  had
• 8:11
  great
• 8:12
  seasons
• 8:12
  and
• 8:12
  other
• 8:12
  times
• 8:13
  he
• 8:13
  didn't.
• 8:13
  But
• 8:13
  he
• 8:13
  just
• 8:14
  happened
• 8:15
  three
• 8:15
  times
• 8:16
  to
• 8:16
  just.
• 8:16
  Yeah,
• 8:17
  but
• 8:17
  he
• 8:18
  had
• 8:18
  a
• 8:18
  little
• 8:18
  bit
• 8:18
  of
• 8:18
  that.
• 8:18
  Something
• 8:19
  special.
• 8:19
  Special
• 8:20
  that,
• 8:20
  yeah,
• 8:21
  every
• 8:21
  now
• 8:21
  and
• 8:21
  then.
• 8:22
  Yeah.

  That's

  amazing

  had
• 9:38
  with

  us
• 9:38
  here,
• 9:39
  including
• 9:39
  this
• 9:39
  one
• 9:40
  where
• 9:40
  you
• 9:40
  talked
• 9:40
  about,
• 9:41
  you
• 9:41
  know,
• 9:41
  how
• 9:41
  that
• 9:41
  by
• 9:42
  chance,
• 9:42
  how
• 9:42
  these
• 9:43
  things
• 9:43
  happen
• 9:43
  in
• 9:44
  the
• 9:44
  game
• 9:44
  of
• 9:44
  football.
• 9:44
  And
• 9:45
  I'm
• 9:45
  sitting
• 9:45
  there
• 9:46
  thinking,
• 9:46
  you
• 9:46
  know,
• 9:46
  football
• 9:47
  has
• 9:47
  got
• 9:47
  to
• 9:47
  be.
• 9:48
  I
• 9:48
  know
• 9:48
  it's
• 9:48
  got
• 9:48
  the
• 9:49
  most
• 9:49
  complicated
• 9:50
  sports
• 9:51
  rule
• 9:51
  book
• 9:51
  in
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  world,
• 9:52
  but
• 9:52
  it
• 9:53
  probably
• 9:53
  has,
• 9:54
  you
• 9:54
  know,
• 9:54
  not
• 9:54
  only
• 9:55
  because
• 9:55
  of
• 9:55
  the
• 9:55
  expansive
• 9:56
  rules,
• 9:57
  but
• 9:57
  the
• 9:58
  variables
• 9:58
  that
• 9:59
  can
• 9:59
  happen
• 9:59
  on
• 10:00
  a
• 10:00
  football
• 10:00
  game
• 10:00
  because
• 10:01
  you
• 10:01
  have
• 10:01
  22
• 10:02
  men,
• 10:02
  each
• 10:02
  have
• 10:02
  an
• 10:03
  assignment,
• 10:03
  they
• 10:04
  each
• 10:04
  make
• 10:05
  mistakes
• 10:05
  or
• 10:05
  make
• 10:06
  great
• 10:06
  plays.
• 10:07
  You

  everything.
• 10:12
  Fans,
• 10:13
  stadiums
• 10:15
  can
• 10:15
  affect
• 10:15
  the
• 10:16
  game
• 10:16
  and
• 10:16
  there's
• 10:17
  so
• 10:17
  many
• 10:17
  different
• 10:17
  outcomes
• 10:18
  that
• 10:19
  they're
• 10:19
  so
• 10:19
  hard
• 10:20
  to
• 10:20
  predict
• 10:20
  each
• 10:21
  play
• 10:21
  what's
• 10:21
  going
