- Joe Theismann was told by several teams he was a first round pick, so why did he find himself playing basketball with his friends instead of watching the first three rounds?

Joe was a great QB and he’s been an awesome analyst/broadcaster in retirement.
Agree. Was a Cowboy fan and didn't like/hated the Redskins and Theisman but I can say now he was a great QB and competitor.
@@rhgamecock1 yep, and he was an underrated QB. Most people think he was a game manager but he was an all pro and won MVP, as well as offensive player of the year too. The guy made the very most out of the talent he had.
I hated him and the Redskins all those years until I met him in the early 90's. I WISH I could say he was a real jerk to justify my hatred, but he was so nice to me & he really didn't have to be. Now I wish I rooted for him back in the day.
I was so happy to see Joe Theismann beat Shula in Super Bowl 17!! Good for you Joe!!
Shula already had a Hall of Fame QB. And the Dolphins were in the Super Bowl the 3 years that Theismann was in Canada.
You mean the Diesel beat Shula. Theisman was one of those "don't screw up" quarterbacks. Just hand the ball off to the Diesel. Doug Williams, Mark Rypien much better and more talented than Theisman
I well remember as a Redskin fan back in the day when Joe came to training camp. He was a bit of a self promoter and was depicted by some as an annoying weenie. Of course, that depicting was done by real blue chip 24 karat lard ass weenies, sports writers. When Joe couldn't start at QB ahead of Sonny and Billy, he ran back kickoffs and punts. That's one tough weenie right there. Joe's a talker, and I have mentioned in previous comments the Fox and Hounds" room in Fairfax where on Friday evenings a bunch of Redskins would come in for some male bonding relaxation. Kilmer was leader of the pack, and while the team was partying it up, Joe sat quietly at the end of the table, watching, listening, and keeping his mouth shut. Saw it myself.
So what happened in the negotiations between Theissman and Robbie? Video ends abruptly.
In a driving rainstorm in the LA coliseum against USC 1970 Theismann passed for over 500 yards. But ND still lost.
I'm 5'7 listening to a 5'11 guy being called too small. I guess I'm an Oompa Loompa.
Well, are you orange?
@@jbratt No, but I hear he does some killer dance numbers with his little buddies.
Nope - you are a munchkin
While waiting for an airline to find my lost luggage, I asked the agent : who's the rudest person you've ever dealt with?
Joe Theismann she replied without hesitation.
Really? She said that with prompting? Of all the people in the world, she came up with Theismann?
He was a complete jackass, I seen him at a grocery store, he walked like a premadonna while his wife carried 2 grocery bags. He and all redskins are doochbags
Every working person has a story. My nephew worked for a rental car agency. Al Michaels picked up a car prior to his calling a Monday Night game and was rude, demanding and belligerent.
All these celebrities people think they respect are just run-of-the-mill folks like everyone else.@@jamesanthony5681
No mention of Joe Theismann's career in the CFL. For shame. Joe was a Leon McQuade fumble(it was not his fault though, turf was wet and slippery) away from winning the Grey Cup. If he had won the Grey Cup. Joe would've been the first pro football player to win both a Grey Cup and Super Bowl
If you're ever in Alexandria, VA, check out his restaurant. Their wings are legit!
Bob Griesie hates Shula's guts because of how he was treated at the end. I saw an interview that has since been removed from CZcams after Shula pasted away!!
Interesting.
early in his career with Washington he returned punts.
he said he had no agent for negotiations, but on draft night he called his agent?
Thiesmann’s always been full of 💩.
The irony is he didn't last physically ... and he changed the way contracts we given. Hard to claim the toughness mantra when you couldn't physically finish your career.
Getting a badly mangled broken leg career ending injury is in no way a measure of toughness or lack there of.
5’ 11.5” that 1/2 cracked me up. Enjoy these stories. Not all athletes are truly this put together.
That 1/2 always cracks me up too!! 😂 My brother is 6'4" and 1/2, and I had a girlfriend 4'10" and a HALF!!!
Don't you dare forget that HALF!
@@escaped1534 🤣👍
Hey, that half is very important! I was 5 11 and 3/4 and I always told everyone I was 6 feet!!
People would ask my dad "are you 6 foot"? He would answer "no, I'm 5-11 and 3/4." Irritated my mom no end. 😁
@@jamescox9427 That's a good one!
Instead of "hold my beer," he should have said, "let me put my boots on.!"
Bob Griesie fell off a cliff in 1979 and Dolphins did not have a real blue chip QB until Marino!!
Shula did a hell of a coaching job to win the AFC East in 1981 and get to Super Bowl XVII in 1982. Thank God for Baumhower, Duhe and the rest of the KIller Bs.
Dolphins had David Woodley pre Marino, but Shula and Griese (in a mentoring role) were frustrated with him, as I recall.
As usual Buck interrupts before the guest can finish their answer. And I wanted to hear Joe's answer!
Love Joey T. HTTR4LIFE
You were immature and arrogant Joe. Way to self absorbed with no self awareness BUT you found a way and won BIGLY!!
Joe would have sat behind Bob Griese and he obviously got more money for going to Canada but as a Dolphins fan I really appreciate his grit...he had a ball batted way out to the right side of the backfield in the SB against the Dolphins in '82 and our all pro DE had run it down and would have waltzed into the endzone for what would have been the lead but Joe ran all the way there and leaped in the air and batted it out of his hands to make it an incompletion instead of a TD.
Kim Bokamper still wakes up in a cold sweat thinking about that play
Don't screw up QB? Man you got rocks in your head!! He was the top rated QB from 82' to 84 bro!!
What ticks me off a lifelong Eagles fan is that the Eagles wanted to draft Theismann but opted to take a kicker instead with the plan to Joe with their next pick.
The legendary Happy Feller. All because he had two national championship rings from Texas. Feller lasted one year before the Eagles got smart and brought in Tom Dempsey, and ironically, Feller went to the (S)aints.
@@DNSKansas Dempsey wasn't that good either, although he did make a long one against the Cowboys on MNF (I was there) to win the game the night that Joe Lavender returned a fumble for about 96 yards.
But the Redskins traded a first round pick for him so I guess that made him a first round pick.
🎯
Unfortunately for Joe he threw the ball to the other team just about as much as he threw touchdowns to his own and he was woefully inaccurate to boot
As a Redskin fan, I adored Joe Theismann. I thought that he was great in the booth, but I suppose that many disagreed. He slept with Cathy Lee Crosby. That has to be worth something. Yes, I know, that was a big group of men, but they were all celebrities in one realm or another.
Compound fracture proved he wasn't as tough as L.T.. Yes, he was a great QB. Also, Joe Buck has an enormous sized head. I've never seen him wear a hat.
If he was only half as good as he thought he was
Aren't we all? The tone you use surely paints you as such
I mean NFL MVP isn't too bad
@@KTF0Having Art Monk, John Riggins and one of the best offensive lines in NFL history, plus one of the greatest coaches ever, helped a great deal
Maybe so, but I hated him the way he beat the Cowboys.
@@DNSKansasThat is true of every athlete playing a team sport.
Joe t had more ego than talent
The most memorable moment of his Theisman’s career is his leg being broken.
At the time, the CFL was a superior league. Joe was magic in Toronto. This really proves that the NFL has no idea how to evaluate talent.
The CFL was not superior
@@christophercarrigg3775 stupid nfl wouldn’t take Warren friggin Moon. I still think the CFL game is superior.
@@dhennessey1970 getting random top players doesn't make you the best. The nfl was clearly superior
@@dhennessey1970 1 player doesn't make a difference
Joe sure was snappy qb.
Joe was severely mediocre. The fourth round was about right.
Theisman has such an ego….ugh!
When 10 big, scary men are staring at you in a huddle, and 11 others are waiting to hit you, a bulletproof sense of confidence is required. Theismann has always been pretty upfront about what he is.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 Yep. Theismann calls it as he sees it. He can be pretty rough on himself. He is no prima donna.
And he wasn't any good
@@sharonjudd6386 The Bears would have gladly traded any of the quarterbacks they have started since Sid Luckman for Thiesmann.
Yeah, because the Bears have been one of the worst franchises in professional football since they stopped playing against the local meat packing plant.@@DNSKansas
I was always a Theismann fan in college and pros BUT he was NOT a first round talent. Not close.
