Joe Gibbs is one of the greatest coaches the NFL has ever seen. He won 3 Superbowls with 3 different quarterbacks. That is a great coach.
Not just that, but 3 different non-hall of fame QBs! Yes, Joe Gibbs doesn't get nearly enough credit.
Won two years in strike years though
@@troylee4196 I don’t think that throws any shade on Joe Gibbs.
I am not a Redskin fan, in fact I was rooting hard against them in every Super Bowl. No denying it, he and Bill Parcels are elite championship coaches because they won with different quarterbacks.
@@troylee4196Nah, strike shortened seasons brother.
Make no mistake about it, the dog days of the NFL season leading to the playoffs and Super Bowl, were played by seasoned vets and not the scabs of early on in the season. On top of this, The Redskins beat some teams during the strike shortened seasons that were sprinkled with vets that crossed the pickett lines; scabs nonetheless.
That's right. There were no other NFL teams those two years. It was just the Redskins and assorted college teams.@@troylee4196
Joe Theismann came to Cumberland, Maryland and spoke with our High School Honor Society inductees in late 82 or early 83. He had a great presence of leadership and an ability to articulate what was on his heart and mind. I never forgot that.
He's always been a super smart dude. Seriously, he's one of the most intelligent people ever to play professional football.
Joe Theismann looks good for 74
This was recorded in 2016.
In more ways than one, it ain't cheap...
74-7 = 67
He was in his 60s here but yeah, he looked good. Stayed fit, tanned, dresses well, well-groomed and polished and likely has had plastic surgery and capped teeth over the years as well.
@@zyxwut321 face work... prob some maintenance level HGH to help things along
Riggins and Joe T. fired my love of the Redskins as a kid living in Fairfax Va. Braves on the warpath!
Cowboy fan. 12 years old when the Skins broke through in 82.
Never cared for Joe as a fan, considered him a hot dog but watching this really makes me respect him. You never see admissions like this publicly from athletes.
Very underrated SB.
I remember these Super Bowls so well even though I was a tiny kid. Good memories with my Dad. I really appreciate Joe's honesty here.
I was like 7 and 8 watching with my dad as well good memories
Riggins was one of the toughest running backs of all time!
He was fast as well. I think he ran track at Kansas.
That is a remarkable self-indictment by Joe. He had a reputation of being a bit of a hot dog but most guys couldn't admit what he does in this video. The loss to the Raiders still rankles 40 years later. Joe Gibbs never lost another Super Bowl.
What a great man. To be honest enough with himself to know his behavior screwed his great team ,and to have the balls to share it with others.
Theisman was fun to watch. You sensed he was living dangerouly, i guess they all are on the field. Its special for Canadians because like Warren Moon they honed their skill, paid their dues in the Canadian football league.
True. Unlike Tim Tebow 😂
That was the first Super Bowl I watched with my dad…that how I remember that game.
All these years, I thought they interviewed Mr. T at halftime because The A-Team was debuting after the game. Just looked it up and Mr. T was during the Redskins-Dolphins Super Bowl. For this Super Bowl, the debut was Airwolf.
Thank you for bringing so much joy to our family as we hurried home from church on Sundays to watch the Redskins! God bless you Joe.
Hey racist, stop saying Redskins
@@AGoat1971like you just did? U r a goat indeed
As a Cowboys fan….well, I didnt like Joe T. much. But after he retired, I sure had a lot of respect for the man. ❤
That's right! 'He Enjoyed' Kathy Lee Crosby the night before the big game, and that's why his legs were weak😂
“Women weaken legs”.- Mickey Goldmill
He was NFL MVP and won a SB. Anyone surprised they didn’t retire his jersey?
Retire his number and put him in the Hall of Fame please. Joe Jacoby needs to go to the HOF with him too.
I was born in DC and ironically was visiting relatives in DC when that Super Bowl was played. I remember driving back to where I was assigned in the military that night to Virginia and everyone and myself honking their horns. Other than when I was in Los Angeles when the Rams won in 2022 was I in the city that actually won the Super Bowl.
Joe Theismann. Tough guy. Would've played at least another 2-3 more years until LT broke his leg. He had a great career, hard worker. Won Super Bowl XVll ('83.)🏆
This was fantastic, thanks so much❤
First thing that comes to head when i see Joes name is taylor and the most brutal injury ive seen.
I have avoided watching the film of that for all the decades since.
The first football game that I really watched.
Boy, did it hurt! (But what a great game!)
I was in LA once and at the bar at the top of LAX airport. Rod Martin was there, the MVP of that Raiders Super Bowl and he had a Super Bowl ring on (I think he was going to a wedding). So I got to see a real Super Bowl ring on a Super Bowl MVP.
Except he wasn't actually the mvp.
Rod Martin was never a Super Bowl MVP. Many people thought that he should have been named the MVP of Super Bowl XV on account of his 3 interceptions. Jim Plunkett was named MVP of Super Bowl XV. Marcus Allen was then named MVP of Super Bowl XVIII, which was the second Super Bowl that Rod Martin played in.
Theismann has not aged in 20 years. I kid you not.
that was filmed in 2016. and yes, he's aged since this filming
Never count your money, while sittin' at the table, there'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done.
Excellent interview.. Very well done
Thank you!
Joe looks great!
Very surprised to hear him say he wasn’t prepared for the Raiders. With his drive and commitment….
Funny, everyone pronouncing Joe's last name Thise' man since college because it rhymed with Heisman. I liked watching Joe Theez' man play basketball and football for South River High in Jersey. Good guy.
One of my college roommates in the early 80's was a South River alum and he told me Joe had allowed Notre Dame to change the pronunciation of his last name from THEES-man to THEIS-man for the reason you stated. From what my roommate told me many people in the town weren't too thrilled with him about it and considered him a sell-out at that point. Of course, he also let me know Drew Pearson( or is it spelled Pierson?) also played for South River.
@@hondaphan4172 Yeah, Drew caught passes from Joe as a receiver at SRHS, then took over for Joe at quarterback when Joe graduated. He was a star basketball and baseball player too.
Joe was a lot of things. He liked to talk (so what?),he did his acting ,commercials and had his restaurants, but I think it was Russ Grimm who said Joe was an absolute caveman come Sunday. Love him❤ HTTR, HTTC FOREVER.
He opened a chain of bars
I’m glad the lose to my raiders in that Super Bowl are still fresh in his memories
Always liked Joe; never liked the Deadskins. (Cowboys fan here) I remember writing him after he broke his leg on MNF and loved it when about a year later I received a Thank You acknowledgement in the mail.
Joe will be know as the "SNAP" that grossed the world! Courtesy from L.Taylor
and LT is known as the greatest crack smoking defensive player ever
The 1 bar face mask 😂.
Then again, he did drive a wrecker in Cannonball Run II.
To have the greatest college football player award named after you is something!
Those names are different.
@@settheory2219🙃
@@settheory2219 It was a joke, Joe changed his name from Teismann to Theismann to make his name rhyme with Heisman while at Notre Dame during his campaign to with the trophy.
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 went over my head...lol
mr theismann is great....
Ah yes, Jack Squirek, my favorite linebacker with my favorite SB play...
Honest guy.
Theismann looks like he can still play.
Love Theismann, real dude. Never was a skins fan either
Hey Joe! So glad I get to say something to you! I was a freshman at ND when you were a Senior. Sat near the top of the stadium as a freshman but got to see from above the absolute beauty of your arcing downfield passes - things of beauty I still remember to this day. Also remember the chants on campus - "Theismann for the Heisman!" I know we all mispronounced your last name, but what can we say. It rhymed too well with Heisman. Be well.
I've never liked hearing the voice of Joe Buck and listening to what he has to say.
Theismann has an informercial personality.
Most of the players were out partying all night long and arrived at the stadium "blasted".... notably Riggins who was in a whirlpool tub trying to sweat out the booze binge he'd been on right up to game time.
Joe was indeed hanging out with Crosby all night drinking and other things that were popular back in the 80's if you get my drift.....
Theisman supposed to be 74. Still looks like he could be in his early 40's. How is that possible?
It's been mentioned that this interview took place seven years ago so he was "only" 67 at the time.
Joe's facemask was cheeks. You're a champion though.
the lion reached the top and wasnt hungry anymore
Another Dolphin Heartbreak !!!!!!,,, Well earned Redskins !!!!!!
Technically, Theismann did not have to knock the ball out of the defender's hand. Since the pass had been hit, Theismann could have legally tackled the guy to prevent an interception.
So what's your point? You don't have one. He was just trying to break it up. Tackle or knock the ball out, it doesn't matter. Besides he had a much better chance at just knocking the ball out as opposed to trying to tackle someone probably twice his size.
@scottpelhamsr9500 I always enjoy a friendly reply. Anyway, Theismann didn't even have to tackle him. He could have just pushed or grabbed the guy as the guy was about to field the deflected pass. It has to do with knowing, and utilizing the rules. Great chat.
Superbowl XVIII. Washington and Oakland? Really? I know the Raiders can be hard to keep track of but they were playing in Los Angeles.
Give em a break, it was their second year in LA at the time lol
I think that's the game when Marcus Allen ran for something like 175 yards...
I thought they was against the raiders in the Superbowl that year?
I still call the Chargers San Diego, and probably will for years to come.
@rickallen1908 191! Highest total of his entire career on the biggest stage.
Joe was a feisty QB!!!!hated him,always beat cowboys ❤I like now lol
JT looks pretty good
that was filmed 8 years ago
But then the Raiders brought him back to reality.
High point the catch. He could have caught it if he wasn’t worried about carrying it into the end zone.
Sadly that’s the last Super Bowl the Raiders won. It’s been 40 years officially now and Raider Nation is still waiting on winning #4 Oakland (2), Los Angeles (1) Las Vegas ( ? )
On Jan. 22, 2024 I rewatched SB XVIII because that's all we have. 😢
Keep on waiting 😮😢with an owner with a horrible haircut , u will never win a superbowl 😮😢
This show needs Artie Lange as a co-host.
For those that don’t know, Joe’s dad was Jack Buck…😆
I think of several quarterbacks these days, that quit on their own interceptions.
Theismann knocks a pick six out of the hands of a LB with his fingertips.
John Riggins long TD run helped by the DB who was supposed to follow the WR in motion, had slipped and fell when the WR changed direction. Making him late to fill the hole that Riggins ran through.
Riggins stiff arms him from the side and rumbles to the end zone.
Super bowl victories are decided on a series of little things throughout the playoffs that are very narrow in what can make them go the other way.
The media gets annoying when they constantly put all credit to the QB.
The 1983 season's Super Bowl was won by the Raiders.

This is an old clip.
Theismann rhymes with Heisman.
Didn't until he was at Notre Dame. The family always pronounced it ThEEzMan. But the PR team at ND convinced him to start insisting on the rhyming pronunciation. (Funny story, if you have an Iphone ... ask Siri if Joe Theismann ever won the Heisman Trophy. She will respond with his original pronunciation. And the fact that he finished second to Plunkett. Oddly enough, the guy that beat him for the Heisman.)
@@raywalsh9152 My college roommate in the early 80's told me the exact same thing and he also told me the people in South River were NOT too happy about it.
During a time when men were men … and refs held the flag. No replay. Bone crushing hits. No one was protected. HTTR!
Hail to the Redskins, hail victory, braves on the war path, fight for old DC!
Yes. The REDSKINS!!!
@@lousanto1054 I was lucky to get tickets to several games with the 81, 82, 83 skins at RFK....man, when that stadium started makin' noise the whole place was literally shaking. What awesome times they were.!
@@mattrowan2680 although I grew up a Lions fan, and became a Bears fan in 1999, I have always had the Gibbs' Redskins as my 1a. They were on TV almost all the time nationally here in Michigan that they felt local to me. Theismann, Rypien, Williams, Byner, Riggins, the Hogs, Monk, Clark, and Sanders, Dexter Manley, snd who can forget Darryl Green!
Redskins sounds a lot better then the commanders
On behalf of the RAIDER Nation, thank you Joe for not focusing on the task at hand. Glad you enjoyed your time in Tampa…. 🤣😅😂 ❤️🏴☠️💯
Typical raider
It wasn't just Joe, John Riggins and half the Hogs were out till 7am the day of the game and were half in the bag during the Super Bowl. They should have won that game but they were not disciplined and mentally focused.
The biggest crime 😮😢 committed against this organization was taking away their name from redskins to commanders is they remove the fangs from the wolf , commanders is lackluster as to redskins it meant something, respect 😮😢
The dolphins lost the Superbowl and then were able to draft Dan Marino.
They were able to draft Marino by spreading rumors about drug use. His senior year at Pitt was a disappointment, so (allegedly Shula and/or the Dolphins) blamed it on a cocaine addiction which caused him to fall down to the 17th pick.
@@patrickthomas889027th,
Actually, the bigger disappointment is that the Dolphins could have drafted HOFer Darrell Green. Green was drafted right after Marino in '83. Green played good enough to help his team win 5 championships (3 Conf. and 2 S.B.'s) while Marino played good enough to help his team win only 1 championship ('84 Conf. Champ.).
@@dennismumford6108 u think a dB is worth more than a first ballot hof qb, ?
@@brando7266 Excellent question !! I do IN THIS CASE because they are both retired and we now know EXACTLY how they both played ON THE BIG STAGE. One guy left his teammated down a majority of the time while the other guy was rock solid a majority of the time IN THEIR BIGGEST GAMES.
Is bokamper still alive,
Mahomes horizontal pass was greatest incomplete in sb history.
Only thing anyone remembers about Joe Theismann is him getting his leg broke by Lawrence Taylor on national TV .. laying on the field with a bone sticking out of his leg . Forever branded a delicate bum
Joe T. is right about the Redskins being even better in '83, but that was in part because they drafted HOFer Darrell Green earlier that year. The worst part was for the Dolphins---they could have drafted Green, because he was drafted right after Marino was drafted by the Dolphins. What a defense Miami could have had.
Green played good enough to help his team win 5 championships (3 Conf. and 2 S.B.'s ) while Marino played good enough to help his team win only 1 championship (the '84 Conf. Champ.). Dan was bad in 75% of his championship games which obviously includes his 1 and only S.B.
@dennismumford6108 If Theismann doesn't break that pass up, Marino probably would have been a Redskin, because they would have drafted ahead of Miami (and the Dolphins would have drafted DT Mike Charles).
@@jab1289 Do you think the Redskins were thinking about a QB in '83 ?? Joe T was only in his 10th year in the league. But if you are correct, wouldn't that have been terrible for Washington. We know how bad Dan played in a majority of his biggest games, so Wash. would have had LESS SUCCESS with Marino.
Or maybe you don't know---Marino in his 3 Champ. Game LOSSES had 4 TD's but 6 INT's and 2 fumbles, an avg. Passer Rating under 60, and he led his offense to an avg. of only 12 p.p.g. How can a team win championships when their QB is playing like that ??
@@dennismumford6108 In the 85 one, he didn't play great, but the defense didn't, either. In 1992, they only ran the ball 11 times against an average Buffalo defense. There's no excuse for that.
In my opinion if you watch both super bowls back to back the same theme pops up. Terrible qb play by Washington fortunately for them the dolphins were just as bad in that first one. That play on the goal line as a dolphins fan still haunts me. Possibly the best play in a Super Bowl when you take into account how the game would have gone if the interception is made.
I'm a lifelong Eagles fan and I can certainly relate to your pain. In last year's SB our RT flinched on 3rd and 1 and everyone knew we were gonna do the Tush Push which the Chiefs couldn't stop. It would've been an easy first down and if you remember the Chiefs couldn't stop us in the first half so more than likely the Eagles would've scored at least a FG if that drive had continued. The situation went from 3rd and 1 to 3rd and 6 and on the next play Hurts was hit, fumbled and it was returned for a TD....more than likely a 10 point swing. We never should've lost that SB and it's particulatly galling when I think back to that one play.
Notre Dame
I don't mean to denigrate Theisman's role in a Superbowl victory, but as I recall, John Riggins ran rampant. Hardly great QB leadership.
Riggins was a beast and unstoppable in that game. If I recall, Riggins set a Super Bowl record for rushing in that game.
@@jamesspalten5977 I don't know if his record still stands, but he gained over 160 yards, straight up the gut. Beast ain't the word for it. More like a rhinoceros.

Joe Montana won a few too
Joe Theismann's ego is being considered for planethood because there is nothing on Earth bigger.
LOL ... wouldn't have mattered Joe ....... NOBODY were beating the Raiders that day. My biggest regret that year was the Niners losing to Washington in the NFC Championship. For the bragging rights growing up in the Bay Area the Raiders destroying the 49er's in the Super Bowl would have ended all doubts who ruled the Bay. This was the closest it ever came to actually happening and since 1970 I was begging for it to happen.
If the team was as focused and determined as they were the year before they would have won that game. That Redskins team is one of the greatest teams in NFL history. It wasn't just Joe, but John Riggins, Dock Walker, Joe Jacoby, Russ Grimm were all out drinking till 7am the DAY of the game. They were half in the bag during the Super Bowl.
Do you think these two talk about hair?
Go REDSKINS
That Theisman throw is, at best, the second greatest incompletion in the history of the Super Bowl. Mahomes getting tripped up, and while his body is in the air and horizontal (parallel to the ground) he threw a sidearm spiral that hit Darrell Williams in the facemask in the endzone... a roughly 30 yard pass which Williams dropped. It might be the greatest incompletion in the history of football, not just the Super Bowl.
He cheats on his wife and abandons his family. Then LT snaps his leg ending his career. God has a sense of humor.
Tough QB wish he would not rationalize the butt kicking by the Raiders . Basically he said I didn’t care as much after that Super Bowl win which to me wasn’t real because of strike
‘It changed me for the worse’. Gee Joe, is that possible?
Class act that Joe is. But next year, Superbowl 18, 1/22/1984 Joe and his Redskins were served up 38-9 on a silver platter, and the platter was bent.1983 Raiders one of the greatest football teams ever.
No way the Redskins were going to beat the Raiders. Redskins were good ALL year but the Raiders peaked in the playoffs. Got better with each game and the SB was there best game of the year.
Wonder if they rigged the games back then too....
I really think the refs strategically throw or hold onto flags to effect the outcome, especially since the NFL openly embraced gambling (holding, PI, roughing the passer could be realistically called almost every down)…but I doubt the games are fully rigged. If they were then I think the Jets, Chargers, Rams, Cowboys, and Giants would be in a hell of a lot more Super Bowls. Big markets=big money.
Super Bowl 18 was rigged for sure
Too bad the Lions didn't get that play. Bummer.
Agreed.
How long has Joe Buck been doing this? Its bad enough having to listen to his horrible play by play
He went too high on Riggo..
The Redskins shoulda beat the Raiders!!
I'm still pissed to this day.
Sports are clear;y rigged and the players are in on it (they get paid very well) , But its funny to see this in an older game, kim bokamper clearly tried NOT to catch that ball as it was very easy and Theisman did not affect the play at all
It definitely changed him for the worse professionally and personally. He left his wife for Cathy Lee Crosby after having an affair with her and his wife found out he had filed for divorce in the newspaper.
I was there They decapitated the dolphins franchise it was so bad that Seaworld went out in Disneyland came back trending btw sea world was better but now it’s not
The Redskins were never in the game vs the Raiders on BLACK SUNDAY
guy was an arrogant ass on mnf
Joe Theismann was NOT the leader of that team. John Rigging and the Hogs were.
Redskins LOST Super Bowl of 1983 season. The 1983 Super Bowl was vs the Raiders. The game is played in January or Feb but it counts for the calendar year/season of the previous season..
