Who's here after watching the new movie "American Underdog"... Touching and well written 🏈❤️🔥
Gonna watch it again.
Lowkey was about to cry watching it
Me
Fifth time watching the movie this week
I’m from the uk and know nothing about American football but I appreciate somebody who’s great at there chosen craft. Amazing story of a true underdog and now LEGEND
I don't think anyone can hate Warner after hearing his story
As a 49er fan who basically saw him stomp out my team yes your right lol... funny how that respect/hate thing works out lol.
Ray V nope. He's one of my all time favorite quarterbacks. I really wanted him to win with arizona.
Ray V I've never watched him and I already like him
Heck, I wanted to him to win with Arizona, and I'm a Steelers fan. Really hoped he'd hang on long enough to get one more ring, but it just wasn't meant to be, I guess.
I hate Kurt warner
Kurt Warner is underrated as a legend QB
Tru
W
Yes he is.
Erikson/ /ESHighLights no he isnt. Hes a hall of famer! #welldeserves
Are you high if anything he is overrated
Wish he won against Pittsburgh. Love warner, such a great story.
General Grevious it’s alright at least he has one!
One of NFL's many great robberies
chaoswaits, you SIr are 100% right. The Steelers are the "Sons of the NFL" and won two absolute bullshit Super Bowls against Seattle and Arizona because of piss poor officiating. I've never taken the NFL seriously since these two obvious robberies.
Thisisnotmyname and not even fairly
GOPMAN71 yeah right
Kurt, it doesn't matter how much you struggled after Super Bowl 34, what matters is that you became a legendary inspiration to all the athletes that followed you, and you proved that every underdog has his day
Correct
It is truly unfortunate that he didn’t win another ring.
It’s even worse when you realize both the loss to the Patriots and the Steelers were very winnable games.
Warner should be 2-1 or even 3-0 in the big game.
But he did make crucial errors in both, gave up both a pick 6 and a fumble
You take those away and they likely win both
Congratulation Kurt Warner for being elected into the 2017 Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Kurt Warner: "I think I broke a rib or two."
Coach: I think he's ok, the doctor said he's ok :D
Pump him full of Toradol and call it good. 🙄
Any Given Sunday........ czcams.com/video/lBk17HwvslU/video.html You know the answer... czcams.com/video/q8jRRBLuxZ0/video.html
I have had broken ribs. It actually doesn't stop you from doing anything.... except the excruciating pain. If you get a shot, you can do it.
This 1999 team was the reason why I always played the Rams in Madden 2002
Same here
I used to rock the raiders or rams, so beasty
I played with the titans. Eddie George, Steve McNair, Jevon Kearse
Back when I was really little and first started playing with them and always wondered why they were such a good team until I grew up and realized lol
Same bro.
Congratulations to Kurt Warner , he earned the Hall of Fame , well deserved for a remarkable QB and a great man .
3 trips to the super bowl 4 title games and a few all pro pro bowls and super bowl and regular season mvps...yeah he deserved it and then some..he set so many records
@@razkableHe should’ve won the other two he was in too, both the Rams and Cardinals let those games slip away.
But Warner made two crucial mistakes in both, threw a pick 6 as well as fumbled
You take away those turnovers and the Rams and Cardinals likely win both
The Rams look so much better in yellow instead of gold
I think they are going back to the original uniforms since they are back in L.A. now
I hope so
I think they should mix their uniforms together and make a new classic...like the chargers did.
Colors would be:
Royal/White with Yellow & Gold trim
+Jon Hendricks no since there logo has gold in it instead of yellow
+Ryan H. you do realize logos change and so do uniforms.
Just watched American Underdog and Kurt Warner is now not only one of my favorite players, but my favorite humans of all time. What an absolute gent!
I say this as a Raiders fan...
better than all marvel movies combined. A real Life superhero!
Me too, it should win movie of the year hopefully they'll make apart 2
@@mayencent don't go that far lol
It was cheesy
I watched American underdog to what a movie and what a player Kurt is and in the movie he said he wanted to go to the NFL so he did and he followed his dreams so follow your dreams please!!!
Arguably my favorite non-Packers QB ever. His story is amazing. From going undrafted and being a bag boy and a QB for Arena Football, to becoming a 2x MVP, Super Bowl champ, and Hall Of Famer. Kurt Warner was the man.
Warner actually was a Packers QB, briefly.
Robert Wilson That’s true, nobody knows really tho. Also was a giants QB before coming to Arizona.
He was farves backup at one point. Brett farve has the best backups oat, Rodgers, Warner, Brunell, Hasselbeck
"we will rally around Kurt Warner"
#gold
“And we will play good football.”
Legend quote right there
Vermeil out there crying and telling guys he loves them all the time lol such a unique coach
This Is The Super Bowl That Made Me A Football Fan One Of The Greatest Super Bowl Hands Down
Ell Sev why are you capitalizing the first letter of each word?
wrong Patsfan420 it was no where near the best there is no likable player on the pats
Yes! The first I remember watching was broncos/falcons but rams/Titans made me want to become a fan.
Superbowl 43 was the best superbowl ever though.
That 99 NFC championship was also a testament to how good that Bucs defense was, holding them to only 11 points was pretty insane
IKR, final score 11-6. Lol
Just finished watching his film..truly inspiring to see his story unfold. The guy is incredible, inspiring to watch
Anyone ever had a broken rib? Do you realize how tough it is just to live with that kind of pain (you cant breathe or anything hardly)? And he plays in the super bowl? Amazing. You see it a lot from these NFL players. #respect
Joshua Traffanstedt have you ever broke a rib?
i’ve broken a rib before and it hurts with every breath and every move, and to think he was yelling, running and throwing a football accurately is just amazing. definition of grit
Andrew luck played with a broken rib and lacerated kidney a few seasons back
Not only that, but he stood in the pocket and took a hit on the game winning pass.
Yep. It’s not fun at all. Hard to move and PLEASE DON’T COUGH!!!
I really remember Vermeil's saying "we will rally around Kurt Warner, and we will play good football", and thinking "yeah right, that's coach speak for you, they were a 4 win team last year, and now have a nobody at QB; they're toast." Still one of my favorite all time sports stories are the 1999 Rams - and I'm a Bills fan, who lost to the Titans in terrible fashion a month earlier, so that Super Bowl was extra awesome for me.
As a falcons fan... I can respect you even brought up the music city miracle. I always forgot that was their Superbowl year I always thought it was year after. Got em mixed up.
You’re so lucky you got to watch those games I would’ve loved to watch players like Kurt in person
@@lopstersharks9385 lol I remember being like 10 thinking that the Patriots beating the greatest show on turf in the super bowl months after 9/11? With a rookie nobody QB? Ya sus af lol
they should make a movie about this mans life, chris evans should play him
mafijaspravi nice choice
Great idea!
Would pay to watch that
Zach Gonzales thanks man
Except Zachary Levi is supposed to play Warner. Little concerned this movie is going to be very much a “Christian” film (which there’s nothing wrong with btw, it just misses the actual storyline of how guys like Kurt were missed in the first part).
I'm a Dolphins fan...since 1970. I have a lot of great players to chose from with the Miami franchise. But Kurt Warner is my All Time favorite football player. For two reasons, his class on the field and his class off the field. And, yes, he and I are brothers in Jesus.
God bless you
I was 9 years old and when he beat the titans I was crying so bad, it was only 3 sporting events I watched that I cried my team lost but 23 years later I have to say Kurt Warner is the greatest story in SPORTS history
I'm Dallas cowboys fan but Kurt is my favorite player of all time. inspiring
Amen Bro. I'm a Pats fan but love Warner even more than Tom Brady.
Yes.....Kurt Warner was a great QB and even better person.
crazy. 2023. never gets old
Nothing like the Greastest Show on Turf. It’s the team that made me a football fan and a Rams fan for life.
Kurt is the man no doubt but the fact that Issac Bruce and Torry Holt played on the same team in their primes is beyond insane!
TheGodfather441
well Torry holt was in his rookie year in '99. He had some good seasons along the way, of course still with Isaac lol
Those were the trio. But damn I loved the rams team, I remember when I was about 8 and it was about 2001/2002 and we were pretty close and I saw them and thus was the first time I ever went to a football game and loved football since and the rams.
Don't forget, Az Hakim and what was that running backs name? Oh yes Marshall Falk!
Who you gonna cover?
don't forget the real heart of the offense..the o line and mr marshall faulk...the hofer...he was unguardable and paired with hall of famers bruce holt and warner made the team the best on turf
chris carter and randy moss were on the same team as well as troy brown and jerry rice and to and rice and owens with parish...great duos happen all the time..buress with toomer..
So grateful to have been a St. Louis Rams fan and watch it all unfold. I was devastated as a young man watching Trent get his knee blown out. The ride to the Championship that year was an amazing one. Thank you Kurt.
Kurt Warner has one of the best stories in the NFL.
"When the year started, no team saved him a roster spot.
"When it ended, he was the league and Super Bowl MVP."
Wow. 😮
Well put. That’s a hellava contrast.
Kurt Warner should have been the first QB to win a Super Bowl on two different teams as a starter. If it wasn't for the Steelers and their amazing catch in the end zone, he would have two Super Bowls.
He threw what amounted to a 14 point turnaround on an interception just before halftime. That didn't help much either.
Yes, that 100yd return was the difference in the game. If anyone had knocked that guy out of bounds those 7 points aren't there. Kurt mounted a great comeback but Ben did, too. One of the great Super Bowls where the teams both played so well you hate to see one of them lose.
warner to bruce and avery and then to fitz and boldin...this dude made his receivers better..i don't give a f what others say ..give him burress and toomer and I guarantee he leads the giants to the super bowl too
You mean if kurt didn't throw a interception in the end zone that was return for a td. He would have won another SB against the Steelers...
@@Crusader1815 to be fair, Larry was given a hard block in the back before he could knock the guy out of bounds. Still pissed that that wasn't a flag.
One of the best NFL stories ever! I also miss Warner in the NFL. Few QB's had an arm like his.
Warner was outstanding quarterback, thank you Kurt!
That was such an amazing football team.
Dude was a BEAST
My first year playing fantasy football. I had Trent Green, Marshall Faulk and Isaac Bruce. Green went down in the pre-season and I was bummed. I picked up Warner because I knew he was going to play, figuring I was in for rough sledding. I pretty much walked away with the league title.
That's funny. In 99-01, you could probably win any fantasy league by picking only rams.
Imagine if they had ppr rules back then. You could have had browns for the rest of your roster and still walked away with it.
My favorite football player of all time. Saw the movie last year, and it really expanded my knowledge of Kurt. Obviously I knew who he was, but didn't know nearly enough about him as I did other players/teams. Went out and bought an old Rams jersey with Warner on the back and wear it every time I go play flag football with my friends. Seriously, how crazy is it that even today he's not getting as much recognition as he deserves?
I love Kurt, my grandma was a die hard fan and I remember watching him at this super bowl 9 years old in St Louis. He is why St. Louis loves the rams. By far the best rams player of all times. Love you Kurt!!
Manly tears... Manly tears
I'm a Steelers fan and I always wished there was a way both teams could have won the super bowl so Warner could have gotten another ring.
I wish the Steelers lost in 2009 and won in 2011 instead
Branden Hill I love the Steelers but I love the 49ers even Kurt Warner got what he deserved
Man im blessed. I got to watch two of the greatest stories in sports history happen. Tom brady and kurt warner.
Being from Iowa I watched him play in the Barn in Des Moines...and ride the bench earlier at UNI...and even when I lived in Amsterdam so I've followed him since day one basically. Met him at my church in Phoenix.... He's legit. Everything you hear about him is true....straight up. We're so proud of the player he is but, in terms of a person, and the "community" of Iowa....proud of him for how he treats people and his overcoming the challenges. #iowaproud #favplayer
@Vincent Cuttolo It's Kurt Warner and Roger Staubach on the top of that heap, then everyone else. If you want your kids to look up to a football player, those are the guys.
Im from STL and I lived that season!! So proud of KW!! He got his shot and took it and never looked back. What a year that was for STL Rams fans!!
Total hall of famer. Few have attained the reverence and fame that Warners story alone, as well as success have garnered.
His perseverance and character are something to be inspired by. He's a great story and a great person.
A "God blessed man" in every way imaginable....Kurt Warner. #UtmostRespect (from a Vikes fan)
Your heart goes out to this guy and such an inspiration for the those who've given up on themselves. Your never done until you stop trying , God bless you KW.
Rams fan forever! Always amazing coaches,staff, and players.#13 never will forget him and the coach.
Thanks, Rams' Family for great memories.
They are still giving great memories.
When the new stadium opens, LA better retire his number.
Niles Tol *STL
Rams are not entertaining anymore
@@T0mat0_S0up they were in LA before Stl. So...
Rams should retire his number. 3 elite seasons and their only Super Bowl.
Just watched Kurts movie on Netflix this guys the man learned so much about him Whata legend true warrior 🔥👏Whata team this was legendary
Am I the only one who thinks the Rams should go back to those blue and yellow uniforms?
Yes you are. Yellow in ANY color scheme other than a banana cream pie is hideous. The blue and white is much better and they're the best team in the NFL at 7-0. Yellow reminds me of vomit.
Yes those are the Best uniforms in the NFL, except the "ColorRush" I could do without that one. The Blue and Gold were awful. GO RAMS!!!!!
Was so happy for Kurt that season. Especially after hearing his story. Rooted for him ever since. Glad he made it to the HOF.
Was really hoping he was going to win that second superbowl with the cards. That would have been amazing.
Always loved watching this guy now he's rightfully in the hall of fame
Kurt Warner deserved this championship and the all famer induction 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 from a Bears fan congratulations.
love Kurt Warner - from bagging groceries in small town to NFL mvp and super bowl winner.
Seeing him with his coach at the end was absolutely beautiful, what a wholesome moment
Warner's story proves that nice guys do indeed finish first.
Make no mistake, there’s no “nice guy” when Kurt Warner puts in the pads and helmet. He’s known for wearing his receivers out if they screwed up.
@@JohnRamirez007, he may not be nice when playing, but outside of football he may be the coolest guy you could meet.
One of the best QB of all time!!
IN the three seasons that Kurt played all 16 games in a reg. season, his team reached the superbowl.
In his PRIME, I've never seen a better QB and this comes from a New England Patriots fan.
@@GOPMAN71 stop with that blasphemy
@@sandernista6499 His first season with the Rams was the most impressive thing I've ever seen.
@@GOPMAN71 Agreed there but to say youve never seen a better QB while being patriots fan is ridiculous.
@@sandernista6499 I didn't say I've never seen a better QB. I said for that ONE season, I haven't seen a better QB. Yeah, Manning and Brady both had better regular seasons in which they broke the all time TD pass mark but both of them lost the Super Bowl in those years. For the record, I think Brady and Montana are the two greatest QB's ever, career wise and if Brady ever had the likes of Tory Holt, Isaac Bruce, Ricky Proehl, Naz Hakim and Marshall Faulk on his team, the Patriots would've gone 19-0 and he would've thrown 80 TD's in one season.
As a life long Rams fan, I love this man!
That has to be the most remarkable story in NFL history as far as a guy who seemingly came from nowhere to become a legend.
well he could have come from somewhere, all quarterbacks just don't pop up from "nowhere" could they?
@@TheIslandstyle11 The key word is ‘seemingly’
I met Kurt Warner and his wife plus all of his kids he is the most chill dude ever
So proud to be related to this guy
kurt was a great story
my guy!!! one of the best to do it!!!
Since 1959 I have suffered thru many Ram regular season and playoff loses. The 1999 season made it all worthwhile.
St Louis freaking loves Kurt. Greatest show on turf!
To think this guy was working as a grocery bagger
Amazing story dreams can come true
Something crazy I think about is how many of the guys passed on in the draft could be HOFers.
DeAndre Jackson your profile picture makes me barf
Chancellor Palpatine At HyVee baby! Where there's a helpful smile in every aisle 😆
Mike Pence i
one of the most heart-warming tales in NFL
Respect froom morroco...this is beatiful
Some of those throws are just BEAUTIFUL
Sad that the Rams have now left St. Louis and Warner will be remembered for a city that doesn't even have an NFL team anymore
why do I always have to deal with trolls?? when did Warner ever play one winning game in Los Angeles??? I will report your insulting comments-but I guess these boards will always have morons like you on them
david graham what was sad was when she jacked our team from our city. But they are home now
And so will San Fran Sicko.
david graham he took the cardinals to a super bowl too. People forget that.
He was a great ram period .. Regardless for what city they represented.
Born and raised in STL. When Green went down It totally deflated me, and I thought for sure the season was over. What followed was perhaps the greatest offensive season ever, at least up until that point. That offense really did revolutionize the game. Can't say enough good things about Warner, as well as Marshall Faulk, Bruce, Holt, Pace... What a team.
Best Team of All Time
Always loved watching Warner and the Rams. The man is proof that dreams can come true
Kurt Warner always will be one of my favorite players
You could say a lot of things about Mike Martz. That he wasn't a good head coach. That he decided to call too many pass plays. But one thing he was right on was Kurt Warner, because Kurt was a guy with the right character, toughness and skill to lead a team.
This story really is one of the all time “never give up on your dream” stories!!
He is the reason I'm a Rams fan. Will always be my favorite player ever #HornsUp
Salute
#HornsUp
Just watched American Underdog 2 hours ago, amazing story.
When he stuck a fifty Dollar bill on the board and said you can have it when he through a spiral that was in the movie called the underdog!!! I recommend you watch it it is amazing
Has there ever been a more incredible story in NFL history? Hell, maybe in the history of ALL sports!
Exactly! Don't get me wrong Tom Brady is a good story also being a late draft pick, but he was a rookie. Kurt Warner was 27 in his rookie Year! Honestly the fact that Martz traded him to New York was a pitiful thing especially after the injury. I honestly believe he could have won at least two more Super Bowls a top from what he had
@@holstfly1 exactly...bradys story is crazy but believable...Warners almost sounds fake, like it's something Hollywood would right for a lifetime movie...could not have been scripted better....
I'm from Ireland so I don't watch or get to watch a lot of football but I saw there's a movie coming out about this guy looks pretty good!
This mans story never gets old. Always inspiring and amaing
Man I love that the movie stayed true to the actual story.
This is one of the greatest American stories that will be told for hundreds of years to come.
Now it’s a movie called American Underdog :)
Just watch amercan underdog. Am so glad i was able to see.him play in my lifetime what a incredible man. I felt his hurtt when he didn't get drafted.
Whoah. I saw American Underdog a couple weeks ago & I figured the Rams stuff was exaggerated 🙃 New respect for the guy.
What a story! Cannot wait for the movie!
Not even a huge NFL fan, but the production on these NFL Films videos is spot-on - well done :)
Just came from seeing American Underdog. What an incredible man Kurt Warner is. So much respect for him! Although I didn't watch his Rams games, I became a fan of his when he played with the Arizona Cardinals. Now I wish I can watch his Rams games.
I am so happy for this guy. Got to love the underdog!
That was indeed an unforgettable season. Everyone called the Rams "the greatest show on turf" and their defense left a lot to be desired. But they ran over every team they faced with devastating numbers. If the opponent scored 40 points, the Rams scored 50. It was an amazing team in an amazing season.
They were actually one of the better defenses in the league both of their super bowl years. Y2K was when the defense was horrible.
And that first game.... he threw over 300 yards against the Ravens which were almost the full squad that was the greatest defense of all time.
bills had the #1 defense that season
Kurt’s Debut was against the lethal Ray Lewis and the Ravens Defense. What a great way to prove yourself!
Kurt Warner is simply the greatest story ever. From arena football to hall of famer. That guy should be so proud of himself
I swear to god his story is like a Disney movie
Don’t ever stop believing
I wish I had my allegiance to the Rams. Im a die-hard packer fan, but I love these great QB's
I lived in St. Louis during ‘99 and went to nearly all the home games. Best football year of my life
Gotta love his story and be happy for him.
this was back when quarterbacks were the toughest guys on the field.
Now look at the NFL now with how they treat their qbs now
No way.... They were obviously tough no doubt but compared to tge other guysbon the field?
Dave Rodriguez You remember the game that Tom Brady played against the Texans and he was being hit by Watt,Clowney.Ray Lewis said "Hey this is football"!!!!!!
@@blueflamexl9880 Ya, now it's like, Breath towards the QB's way n it's a flag lol
Don't go crazy, bro. Johnny U and Otto Graham and Slingin' Sammy Baugh might want to talk to you.
Greatest QB in Rams history
Warner And the Amsterdam Admirals were sick
this guy had a great character
