Next thing I know, I'm actually chilling at home, and I see across the ticker, like, oh, man, Bengals trade Corey Judd. That's how you find out? Bottom ticker? I'm sitting there with a piece of chicken. Like, wait, wait a minute. Right, what? Welcome to Games with Names.

I'm Julian Edelman. They're Jack and Kyler, and we are on a mission to find the greatest game of all time. And on today's episode, we are covering Corey Dillon's 260. 78-yard record-breaking game in week 8 of the 2000 season between the Broncos and the Bengals with Super Bowl champion legendary running back, a man that may have trucked, Vince Wilfork, Corey freaking Dylan.

And we get into talking what it's like breaking an NFL rushing record. I'm over there being, you know, I'm in my feelings a little bit. I'm like, I'm overwhelmed. Getting traded to the Patriots. I kind of got the feeling like Bill is not the person, And who's the modern day Corey Dillon? We're kind of similar with the power and speed aspect. That dude got a mean stiff arm too.

And then we talked the sports bucket list on this week's chill zone presented by Coors Light. You got to stick around to the end. Let's go. Games with Names of Names of Productions of IHeart Radio. October 22nd, 2000. Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio. 22 carries two touchdowns, 278 yards.

And a place in the record books. This is the 278-yard game. Come on me. One hour. Welcome to Games with Names. Today we are looking at the 278-yard game, Cincinnati versus Denver. Week 8, 2000 match with Corey freaking Dylan. Corey, in one sentence, why did you pick this game?

I think that was probably my best game ever. I was just in the zone, and I think the team, we were struggling, man. I don't think we won a game up until that game that season. So it was just one of those weird games where, like, everything was clicking. Offensive line was bulldozing people over. And it just seemed to me like everybody was just a tad slower than my speed. So, yeah, it just turned out to be a good day. It ended up winning our first game in Paul Brown Stadium.

Wow. Is this the greatest game of all time? To me, yeah. Yeah. I like it. I mean, the record's been broken, but it wasn't against, like, the number two ranked defense at the time. And I kind of like it because, you know what, I did it on 22 carries. And eight of those carries were negative yards. And crazy, we'll get into the game. Right. I want to get into the game later. But the other guy, they gave you a couple. They gave a couple of your touches to the other guy, and he broke off, which I would have done. I was going mad.

He brought him. Brandon Bennett. Yeah. He got up and brink you. Yeah. And dude, there was one carry in there. I broke for 30. Yeah.

They called it back. So I'm thinking like, damn, I could have 300 yards. I know. I know. You know. So we just had big will fork on, big V. That's my guy, man. And he told us the story about you running him over.

I didn't know that. It's who he said that. Did you not? I never knew that. Is that just how you were? ran you just ran like a bat out of hell didn't care what was you didn't see you just ran here's the funny thing man i know bill used to stand behind the offense so in my mind i used to think like man this guy is telling the defense where i'm going you know what i mean yeah so it was just

we used to like just walk through you i used to tell them guys man say that for the game because rodney are come and hit you seymour come and hit you william get aggressive with you and brusky and all these guys. And it was just one of those things where I'm like, man, I got to stay full speed all the time against these guys because I don't know what kind of moved they in. Or they just want to butt up or they're really going to try to hit you. So it was just one of those plays and we kind of met in a hole.

Yeah. And we just kind of thud it up. I didn't think nothing of it. I went back to the huddle and, you know, ran the next play. But then I seen Vince on here explaining like, dang, he was dizzy. My bad big homie. I didn't know.

That's a lot of mass. Man, when I got on Twitter and saw the Cory Dillon responded to that Twitter, oh my God. I must faint to my eyes where his biggest saucers. Oh, my God, yeah. We'll get into those New England days later,

but I want to talk about your come-up. You're from Washington. Yes. And so I grew up in the Bay Area. And so when I was growing up, they had Day LaSalle. Oh, yeah, man. And the team that knocked them off

their like 15, 20-year run, Bellevue, Washington. man, we used to wop on Bellevue. I'm from Franklin High School, man. So, yeah, every time, like, we would never play them, like, we were in totally different divisions, but we'll play them, like, scrimmage games and stuff like that. And I think we were, we were at the time, double-way.

I think they were triple-A, so we'd never match up. But high school football out there, underrated. Underrated and big-time. A lot of great players. I mean, lawyer Malloy, you know, he was, we're all from the same spot. So, yeah, a lot of good football up there. It's been known for basketball. A lot of hoopers, too.

A lot of hoopers, too. But football, we played, we played all right. Now, you ended up at Washington. Yes. How I was playing in the original Pac-10? I mean, I was, I, you know. Yeah, I'm old, right? The Pac-10, man.

So I'm from there. So I think a childhood dream of mine was always going to the dub. It was something about the gold and gold and purple. The huskies, man, right? Yeah, man. Yeah. Tyrone Willingham? I remember he went there.

He was, I wanted to go there when he went there because he was in Stanford. Oh, man. It was, it was a, see, Don James.

I was like, yeah. Don James, one 90? Yeah, man, I want to play for Don James. So about time I got there,

um, the coach was Jim Lambrite. So I just transferred in from Dixie college. Juco guy. Yeah, from St. George. So their team was already stacked. It was,

you know, I had to, get in there and make a name for myself. I mean, they already had All-American running back at the time, right? So I ended up getting second on the depth chart and it was just

weird like Bashan Shihi. I think he was at a party and he was something happy with his ankle and he couldn't play the next game. And you know me, man. I like jacking for positions, man. Don't give me the ball.

Yeah. Because it's going to be hard not to give me the ball from that point on. So I got in there and did my thing, man, and turned out pretty good. So then I, you had a, you rushed for 300 yards against my San Jose State Spartans, bro. We got to, I mean, I played in that at a high school football from my team, but in a quarter that we got to, we got to put some sign on that. Like, if you're a ball, though, you got to know this game. 222 yards, 83 yard reception in a quarter? In one quarter.

Three and five, all purpose yards. in one quarter that's insane might still be a record i think it still is yeah i'll double check that but my god that's what corey dillan does something light some light no light work how much ball are you watching these days very few games i like to watch when the playoffs hit but like regular season if it's not like a big marquee man i ain't really you know yeah i'm not really i mean shoot i've been looking at football all my life i could take a little bit little break. Take a break. Take a little break up. And I'm more, I watch more basketball than football. Who's your squad? Go and State Warriors. Were you always a Warriors guy? No, no, Sonics back in the

day? Oh, I love this. Yeah, I'm a home. Sean Kim. Yeah. GP. Yeah, man, I'm a homer. But you got a, like, some of your superstars get old and retire. Yeah. So my guy, it went from Michael Jordan. I love Michael Jordan. Chicago. And then I was a Kobe fan. Still am. Yeah. You know, so when Kobe retired, I was like, hmm, what's the team I can sit down and, you know, have a meal and really watch? You know, it was this little, like, skinny kid, man, shooting that ball, man. Crazy shots. Yeah, from half-court, I'm like, hmm, gee, state.

I like them. Yeah, I've been a fan ever since he's been to go at Golden State. Yeah, I mean, I remember him at Davidson. Oh, we was killing it, man. Shout out. Jack was there. Shout out, baby. David's a native, baby.

He was killing him, man. He went to the final four, right? Elite eight. He should have been in final four. Should have beat Kansas. God darn it. But he's low-key ruined the game. Oh, he broke the game.

No, he's ruined basketball. Oh, yeah. Because he'll throw up these crazy shots that like 15, 20 years ago, you'd say, what the fuck are we doing? Oh, he'd be on a bench. But he makes him. But now we got everyone trying to do this. Right.

Now, it's crazy to me. Like, you watch NBA basketball now. It's like 43s a game. It's unbelievable. We had Joe Mizzoula. There's only one doing that. I know. I give him credit, man.

He changed the game. He did. Completely. One man. One man. Everybody thinks they could shoot threes now. Yeah. Speaking of another guy who changed a game.

What about Saquan Barkley last year? Rejuvenating the running back position where everyone's been trying to abandon. What's the state of the union on the running backs right now? I don't really get it. Like, the running back position been marquee from day one. Day one? I think all the positions are marquee. Are they go hand in hand?

I think when that team started focusing on doing things by committee, I think that's where the value of the running back kind of got diminished. As they can see now, times get rough, late in them playoffs. You need a running game. You definitely need a running game. So I'm glad he rejuvenated that position well, well needed, because I don't know. I mean, if they want to do that, you could look, basically, you could look at every position they try to devalue it. You know what I mean?

Yeah. Why that position? So I'm glad he brought it back around and, and boosting him back up that running back position because for a while, man, it was looking bad. Yeah. The running, like the run game sets everything. Like, you could win games with the past game. Yes, you can. And that's what is sexy and that's what's fun.

But the way to control a game is through the run game. And so, like, you see these teams that go up and they get up on these high scores and they're like up 22 points and they don't have run game and these other teams come and they chase them down. You know, the team that sits there and can control the game to try to win the game has the best opportunity usually to win to me, I think. And I think in any, well, teams today, I would say like the team with the best running game, nine times out of the team is going to win. Yeah. Definitely. Nine out of ten.

There's that one time where the past could get it. But there's so many things that have to happen. So many things. If you can control that clock, you got a better, better opportunity coming out with a W. Yeah, because then you're also keeping the other explosive. Off the field. There's so many complimentary things that come around with the running back position. So who's the Corey Dillon of the NFL this generation?

I'm going to have to go with King Henry, man. I think. King Henry. Yeah, man. I think we're all a little bit different, but we're kind of similar with the power and speed aspect. Power and speed. Yeah. And that dude got a mean stiff arm too.

So I kind of like to watch him run. If he ever gets a hold of this podcast, I got a, I got a, suggestion for my big homie take the arm pads off bro that you got to feel the skin you got it you got to feel that ball yeah man I had a problem with that definitely you used to wear him I used to man and and I never like late in the game sweating slippery easy guy come swipe that thing popping around on the on the field so me personally I took them off you get you yeah Yeah, I'm definitely left arm. I was dominantly left in it, so I always carried it in my left hand.

Yeah, I went sleeveless, man, and kind of cut down on some of that fumbling problem. Yeah, it's tough to see that this is coming around Derek Henry right now. Right. Because he's never really had a problem. Never. You know, and then all the critics are going to say, well, he's getting older, this, that. But it's, you know. I don't think that's it.

And it could be simple as arm sleeve. arm sleeve could be simple as arm sleeve yeah how do you work on um fumbling like if you get the little bit of the fumbles like what do you do to try to like mix it up or try to like break through and three points of contact right yeah man you got a bro you consciously like i'm gonna squeeze the hell out of this ball and you got to be aware like when you get that last fumble he had man honestly i don't think he knew big boy he i don't hutch he's strong too hutch is a lot behind two is a monster bro i don't think he was aware he was behind no at all and that that easily can happen to anybody so i'm not really going to fault them because of that but so sometimes just

like subconsciously you got to you got to have that in your mind like squeeze this ball yeah it's just as simple as that stay behind it yeah what's what's the thought on the bengals these days damn damn that's a great that's a great thought I love him I love Joe Burrow man

I think he done changed the whole complexion of how people view Cincinnati but man dude that game last week holy

yo and that's my guy from the dub so you know I'm rooting yeah it was kind of it was bad but

they they need need Joe, man. I mean, they got a great squad. Chase, Kiggins, Joe. And, you know, and it's funny, man, we, we, we talk about this running game. I don't, I don't get it. Like, you got to, you got to implement that running game. It takes the pressure off a second screen quarterback, quarterback coming in and thinking he got to sling the ball 40 times a game just to win. You got to, you got to simplify the offense and, and get that running game started it'll take a lot of pressure off the offense i mean prime example josh allen i was on

tv screaming dude we got to get this run game going let josh have to do josh for five plays a game right don't let josh be josh for 40 plays hand that thing off set up like take the other let the other guys get hit right and it also takes pressure off your offense align who likes to go forward instead of fucking sit and pass blocking all day when you can get all these fucking games and stuff. Right. So, like, that's why it's important to have the run game. Yeah.

Sets it up. Sets everything up. Sets it up. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a running. That's coming from Edelman, man. I mean, I agree with it. Absolutely. But, well, for me, though, like, when you had a good running game, you would get the one-on-one

matchups. You know what I mean? So they would have to take that safety and if they bring that safety in the box, that means there's a less guy deep, so you're going to have better coverage as a receiver. Yeah, man. Yeah, it's simple. It's simple.

I don't know where the game got so pass happy. But it happens. Some of those offenses is. You've got to be able to pass to win. That's the thing. You got to be able to. You have a great passing game. You can't win with just the running game,

but that's how you get long sustained success. is through a running game. There's going to be a third down, a fourth down, that you're going to have to complete a pass in a drop-back pass offense. But it'll be a lot easier when you've been beating up on that defensive line all fucking game while running the ball.

They're not going to be coming out like a bat out of hell. Yeah, it's, I don't know. Get it third and short. You know what I mean? Like, you can control that running the ball. Of course you're going to have like third and five. and third and sevens, and that's where the past game, you know, kicks in and takes effect. You know what I mean?

Let's get into your run style. Okay. How would you describe your run style? I watched a lot of Jim Brown. Jim Brown. Nice. Film, man. And that's who I wanted to be like, you know?

I watched a lot. It looked like, you know what, he get hit, he get up slow, you know, stumble back to the huddle, and come back and run you over again and it was just repeated and I was just watching him all that film I was watching he was big strong fast

and I'm like hmm I'm gonna try to patent my game after that and then on top of that I you know I grew up watching football so it was like the Tony Dorsets yeah try to steal a little bit from him the Eric Dickerson's they try to yeah big guys

fast take a little from him Earl Campbell's Walter Payton's Barry Sanders I never could be like that that dude is phenomenal but yeah I just used to watch

the running back position and watch all these great running backs and then be like hmm I like that I'm gonna take a little bit from there take a little bit from there and then you know what kind of form my own style which my thing was I call it my little bag Like, you know, I may start off the first two quarters running you over,

setting you up. Next two quarters, I might try to dance around you and mix it up. So, or vice versa, you know, just depends on what kind of what they're giving me. Kind of worked out. It worked out pretty good. But you also, you were always like really good, like the duo play. You know, duo where you have the two double teams and the running back really has to set that up. It's all vision, man.

You know what I mean? Yeah. And you can't be too early to the cut or the fucking the guy scrapes over. Yeah. Can you explain that? I was real. Well, we had this Jim Anderson, running back coach for Cincinnati. This is what he preached to me constantly.

Slow to fast through, meaning footwork and press the line. But at a pace where you could see the cuts. And that's all I really did I never went full speed Grabbing that ball I was always on my footwork And a little patient enough Where I pressed that line

Where I could see multiple cuts And just by doing that alone Things are open up Like I can see the backside See the defense over pursuing And then you know what As soon as I see that opening That's when I explode through

Yeah And then once you get there You're looking for I'm looking for whoever wants the smoke. Whoever wants the smoke. Did you ever get to meet Jim Brown? Yes. And it was funny, man.

Met him a couple times. Great dude. Met him first time I was over. I was playing Encino Golf Course. And he used to be out there all the time. So what was funny, he was like, yeah, I know you. You played some pretty good ball. And I was like, wow, the great job.

Jim Brown. He actually knew. You know what I mean? So you meet one of your idols and they're speaking highly of you, man. It's a good feeling. Yeah. That's awesome, man. Jim Brown.

I met him. Bill took us. I want to say I met Bill or Bill took us to the Hall of Fame like for a team trip or something. I don't know why we were over there. But when it's like a team trip there, I think Jim Brown was there. and I shook his hand. I didn't get to, like, talk with him or anything. But it's fucking Jim Brown's got that big of impact.

Oh, yeah, man. Like, he just got aura. Like, we all talk about all these little kids, talking about aura. Yeah. Fucking Jim Brown got aura. You know what? I call him the godfather of running backs, man.

I think every running back wanted to be like him in some aspects. So he looked like a, he looked like a varsity high school. player playing against eighth graders. Yeah, Pop Warner. Easy. Like, you know what I mean?

It's just like, and that's honestly low-key when we were talking about Derek Henry, I met when he had it before the fumble started to happen in this year, he was wrecking that team. And he stiffed arm a couple of these Buffalo Bills, professional athlete safeties. Right. Making them look like little kids.

I was thinking Jim Brown. Yeah. That's what Jim Brown used to do to guys. All day, every day. Yes. So, yeah, man, that legend. I think he birthed a lot of good running backs. He did.

We just had Lorenzo Neal on the show. Oh, yeah. That guy said something else. LoNeil. Yeah, man. He looks like a fullback. But we had the conversation because in our research, like, Jim Brown is sometimes referred to as a fullback, sometimes referred to as a halfback.

Like, it's just interesting where the fullbacks claim. them they don't claim them just doesn't matter he's an incredible back he's a tailback that could do anything yeah yeah but all that like pf r calls him a fullback but it's like he's really running back no no no just and shots out to low low nil man that guy great times with that's a funny with that guy man um and yeah man full back position that dude there's been many of times he got up in there and got on that linebacker gave me space to do my thing so big up to him as well now we just uh we had james devlin on it also we asked about the fullback running back relationship and what did jimmy say he said that like

he he felt like a protector for the running back and like whatever the running back he learned a lot from the running backs when he was in usFL because how he blocked would they would be like all right you're not doing it or what's that relationship with the tailback and full back on the other direction. Man, we got to be in sync because, you know what? Like, my thing, like, I used to tell low-neil, man, like, make a decision quick. Like, I used to look at head placement on which way I'm going to cut. Like, if he got his head outside or, yeah, I'm, you know what, I'm going to keep it to the

left. If he got it inside, you know what? I'm going to cut it back in. So having those conversations and that relationship and where he knows, like, however he's blocking that guy. Yeah. My guy's going to make, make a quick decision. Those are things you need to know.

Like if you're at the cafeteria and there's like a group of guys and getting ready to go to the hot food station, does you see like little low, Neil? Does he's like burgeon away for you to get through? Oh, man. Bulldozing. Bulldozing away. In the hallway. Yeah. Bulldozing away, man. I have never. Hey.

And we had that, we had that type of relationship where. I knew he was going to go out there and get active and do him. I never worried about that. My thing was just like, as soon as he made that contact where the play is, just reading off him, man. And we had a lot of success doing that. He did.

Yeah. He did. Now take us through, we know you as a Cincinnati Bengal. Yeah. That's what this game is. But let's talk about when you went to New England. Oh, wow. Let's talk.

How did that happen? We all, we know. But I want to hear it from you. I want to hear it from you. Well, well, here was a situation. I got hurt in 03. So I think I, you know, partially tore my, what was it, MCL, tore my groin.

So I was, I missed like eight games, man. I was on the show. And this is back in the day when running backs were getting like 800 carries a year. Yeah, so I was on the shelf. And RIP to my guy, Rudy Johnson, man um he came in and stepped up and he played very well so i was thinking like hmm and i'm getting up there this is like my seventh seventh season and there was

rumors of i'm sitting at home there was a rumor of the bengals trying to trade me to dallas and i'm like really i said okay okay i said no problem i mean i'm just saying And in my mind, I'm like, yeah, just keep that same energy when I get all healed up and and I'm going to finish out the season and we're going to reopen this situation. And yeah, I went in. I was speaking to Marvin Lewis and I was just like, you know what? It's been nice. I think my time is up here.

I like to move on and go somewhere. And it was just as simple as that. And I'm just looking at it from a standpoint of. Seven years, man, I was, we didn't win that much. And I'm, and I'm kind of, you know, looking in the mirror and looking at my career of, man, I probably got two to three more left. Where do you want to go with this? What you want to do? So, and then as you know, like, I heard this.

I heard this a lot. It was, it was media play of the Patriot way. I didn't know what they hell that was. They got a cold over there? Or is it Some militant Some kind of You know

I didn't And the media was like Oh Yeah Corey's not a Patriot way guy That would never work And I'm just thinking like Shit maybe I don't want to go there either

I don't know You know I just like to play football And Rodney Harrison We had the same agent at that time I give him big props I think he went in there

And spoke on my behalf you know and that's where the interest kicked up and you know what I didn't think I was ever going to get traded to be honest with you I was just talking shit like yeah you know you give me a body here whatever and it picked up it picked up and next thing I know I'm actually chilling at home

and I see across the ticker like oh man Bangles trade Corey did that's how you find out bottom ticker Like, I'm sitting there with a piece of chicken. Like, wait, wait a minute. Like, what? And then, you know, I get the call.

I get the call. My age, he's funny, man. He's funny. And he's like, yeah, man. It's going down. So you're a patriot now. And that's a whole, whole different experience, man, to be honest with you. Who calls you first from the Patriots?

Actually, let me kick back until. how it really, like, transpired. I actually went down and seen Scott and Bill first. I didn't, I'm just meeting them and just saying, you know, hello. And they asked me a couple questions like, you know, you know Bill's straightforward. Yeah, Corey, I know all the shit going on in Cincinnati. And I just, I told them straight up. I was just like, man, it's all predicated on me just wanting to win, win football games.

And he asked me one more question. And he said, you know what? You think you could play for us? I was like, absolutely. We kind of, it was like a two to five minute meeting, got up, left. Never thought about it. Never thought about, you know, they actually trade for me. Kind of left it alone until it came across the ticker and was like, oh shit, it's going down.

So, yeah, it was, it was simple. It was just a simple process of, I don't know if that was tampering back then. I don't know. I don't know, but it was Scott Piole and Bill, and yeah, two to five minutes, man, and we're out of there. Bill just needed to hear you say, I just want to win. That part of it. That's all he.

That part of it, man. And because 1,600 yards, 12 touchdowns, your first season. That's all he wanted to hear. Well, that as well, but he just wanted to see it. If he was about winning, then he believed that his environment, he would adapt to it. There you go. He would see Tom Brady.

He would see Rodney and everybody else. And then, you know what? The whole thing about the Patriot, well, you know what? I just kind of figured out is just doing your job, which I was pretty damn good. One of the best. Doing my job and being quiet and, you know, I'm like, yeah, I can do this. Absolutely. So it worked, I think my personality kind of matched like what they, what they wanted, you know,

because all I wanted to do just go out there and play football and I didn't really care on how it looked. As long as you were winning, I'm good with it. So you're coming from Cincinnati. Yes. What's the first thing that comes through your head when you enter New England? Because they already, they just won the Super Bowl. They just won the Super Bowl. Yeah, man.

You get into, you get into New England. What do you, like, fuck. Pitching yourself? That part of it. I'm like, yo, like, that's what, man, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to be straight up, man. That's a lot of pressure, though, man. It was a lot of pressure because I'm thinking like, damn, they just won a school bowl. What in the hell did you need me for?

You know what I mean? Yeah. So that's a lot of pressure. And then it was the whole thing of me leaving Cincinnati going there. So that was a story itself And then the Patriot way Is he got to fit in or not But once I got there man

You know I don't played against these guys for a long time I know some of these guys, man We're cool So the thing I loved about it is like From a organization and players' perspective They welcomed me You know, it was cool They made me feel at home

And that kind of took some of the pressure off and some of the stuff I was thinking. And then when it comes down to it, man, to me, it was like, man, all I got to do is show up and play ball. And that was the only focus on my mind. And if I do that, man, everything's going to work itself out. So, and that's basically what happened in 2004. I just showed up and play ball.

What was the first encounter with Bill like? Oh, man. You know what? After you guys signed. Hey, I kind of got the feeling, like, Bill is not the person to be fucked with me. I'm dead serious. He had this fear factor with the players of, like, man, he is not playing no game. So if you ever sat in some of them team meeting rooms with him, he is funny as I don't know.

I mean, got a funny sense of humor. He'll tell you like, hey, man, you don't want to do it my way. I will walk you to the door myself. And he's serious. So I took that man very, very serious. And I was like, man, I do not want to do anything to get on this man bad side. So, yeah, it was a self-checker for me. Like, man, I'm always on top of my game because he will call you out.

Oh, yeah. He definitely will call you out. We'll be right back after this quick break. Hi there, this is Josh Clark from the Stuff You Should Know podcast.

At 19, Elena Sada believed she had found her calling. In the new season of Sacred Scandal, we pulled back the curtain on a life built on devotion and deception. A man of God, Marcial Massiel, looked Elena in the eye and promised her a life of purpose within the Legion of Christ. My name is Elena Sada, and this is my story. It's a story of how I learned to hide, to cry, to survive, and eventually how I got.

out. This season on Sacred Scandal hear the full story from the woman who lived it. Witness the journey from devout follower to determine survivor as Elena exposes the man behind the cloth and the system that protected him. Even the darkest

secrets eventually find their way to the light. Listen to Secret Scandal, the mini secrets of Marcial Masiel as part of the MyCultura podcast network on the IHeard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get her podcasts. In early 1988, federal agents raced to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia.

We had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. But what they find is not what they expected. Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter? I said yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years. Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them, the women must decide who they're willing to protect

and who they dare to betray. Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand and I saw the flash of light. Listen to the Chinatown Stang on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Malcolm Gladwell here. This season on Revisionous History, we're going back to the spring of 1988 to a town in northwest Alabama, where a man committed a crime that would spiral out of control.

35 years. That's how long Elizabeth's and its family waited for justice to occur. 35 long years. I want to figure out why this case went on for as long as it did. why it took so many bizarre and unsettling turns along the way and why, despite our best efforts to resolve suffering, we all too often make suffering worse. He would say to himself, turn to the right, to the victim's family,

and apologize, turn to the left, tell my family I love him. So he would have this little practice, to the right, I'm sorry, to the left, I love you. From Revisionous History, this is The Alabama Murders. Listen to Revisionist history, The Alabama Murders on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, how was the O line? Like, how was light? Was light like just the funniest human being in the world?

Oh, my God. He was, man, always, always pulling some kind of joke or talking shit or something along that line. I mean, he kind of lightened up the, you know, the room. And, oh, man, it was him and Drewsey and the rest of the guys, man, it was just funny. Yeah. I think we had a real, that offense was real, real fun. I mean, even though, like, we knew the assignment and at times, things are super serious and we're all about the execution.

But, you know, we had some funny guys on that old where things, I mean, even in like situations out there on the field where made things kind of light and we was like, oh, man, we got this. you know so matt light is one of those guys he was always coach a coach was always on him like matt shut the fuck he was like quiet he's always cracking some kind of joke so it was it it was good man that whole team man that oh 14 young brady ish king barry was in there i was king brady then man i tell you one thing man this is when i got there man I love the guy because you know what I'm just getting there

and we'd be in some pressure situations out there this guy did not flinch one bit you ain't never seen that I have never seen that and you can identify with this like when that guy calls your number

in that huddle man you run through 10 brick walls for this guy I mean there's their situation he was like A, Rock, he used to call me Rock. He's like, Rock, we need this first down to seal this game. We're giving it to you like three times in a row if we have to. And I'm like, bad, I got this.

You know what I mean? And, bro, sure enough, like, man, just a little extra pep in my step. Yeah. He called me out like, yeah, we need this. Three times in a row. Let's get the first and seal the game. So, hell of competitor. I just loved his mental aspect about the gang.

He first went in, first went out, had the whole locker room respect. Good dude, man. Good dude. If he was here, he'd be hanging out, talking shit too. Yeah. That's the type of person. Maybe one day.

Maybe one day. Yeah. Hey, one day. Hey, you like the president now. It's hard to catch up with this guy. Maybe one day. Hey, man, can I get a, hey, man, can you, can you friend me on IG?

Something, man. Hey, we got a better luck of getting the Pope in here for the guy. It's right. He's a football guy. Hey, man. Who is the team asshole?

Oh, my God. But that we all loved. Let me see. Oh, my God. There's some guys out there. There's the Braebles. There's the... There's the...

Ha! You hit it. You hit it. First try. Oh, man, Braves is something. different man always going against the grain like nah this is not why are we doing this

you know yeah so and him and him and him and him and bill was always into it about something Braves is a good dude though man good yeah that's frames man hell of a player man yeah smart smart smart smart smart player and and you know

this is they preach this this is what Bill wants tough, smart football players Braves is one of those people Oh yeah How do you think he's gonna Do you know he's gonna be a head coach Did you know he's gonna be I never

I never thought about that I'm like I used to run his ass over in practice Now he's the head coach So I look at this guy man But no man It fits him Yeah it fits him man He was one of those brilliant minds out there

Do you watch the Pats at all? Yeah I catch up I catch him. You can't win when you turn it over five turnovers. You can't do that. Jeez. You can't win like that. So you were a bona fide star when you got up brought into New England,

and they were just coming off of a Super Bowl. Was there any issues with jelling into the roster? You know what? I had, this is my brother too, man. Kevin Falk, bro. Hey, he's a legend. Man, this guy, his locker was right next to mine. And he used to say, man, bro, you're here for a real.

reason. You know what I mean? That made me feel comfortable. You know, like, you're here for a reason. You know what I mean? And there are some things I couldn't do. K. Falk was a monster. He was the Swiss Army knife. He could do it all. Like, my big ass ain't going out there running no routes like Kevin Falk. Yeah. Now ain't going to work. So I think me and him just talking and him letting to me know like bro do your thing you know this is this is a team nobody nobody's bigger than another guy and i and i really felt that coming in that building like man we're going to go out here and i never i never was a stat guy anyway i never really sat back and like oh i need a hundred yards this game i just go out there and play man you know what i mean and whatever happens at the

end of the game that's what it is but that guy was like yeah man you're here for a reason let's go out there and get it. And we compliment each other like good. Yeah. And it was one hell of a running back as well. He was. I played with him. Yeah.

He was older when I got there. He was older when I got there. Yeah. But he taught me how to catch puns. He was my punk guy because he was the hands guy. And then on top of that, like, he shared everything. Me and him chopped it up. We talked.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Play. Great teammate. Great. teammate he filled me in on things i needed to know yeah so yeah that's my bro man love k shout out k fall now take us through when you win a super bowl one year in oh wow it's like it worked yes patriot what yeah yeah and and it was listen i've been chasing that part of football

Since I was Pop Warner, man, I always get to the big games, maybe take a L, never won one, high school, you know, never getting to the state championship, you know, so I've been, that's been haunting me for the longest of actually getting into a championship game and actually winning one. I think, I think that that Super Bowl just to me, like kind of satisfied that child football player. and me, it was like, yeah, we finally got it. Heck yeah. I mean, nothing like it. Nothing like it. There is nothing like winning a chip, man. You know what?

I was like a deer in headlights, man. You sit there and you see that ball being kicked off and all those flashes going off at the same time. You can get overwhelmed. I was like, oh, shit, where am I? Yeah. Until I got hit. And then I came back to reality.

It was like, yeah, man, we're in a football game. And the Eagles at the time was pretty. pretty, they were pretty stout, man. That was a very good team we played and ended up edging them out by three. So good game. T.O. came out with a broken leg and got 1.30 on him or so. And we're still bawling. Still bawling.

I was like, he's not human. He's not. Who is this guy? But it's crazy because you were like the first star brought in to the Patriot Way. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think that it eventually? Yes, it did. It got them to get Randy Moss.

Yes. Yeah. So, hey, I never, it was never spoken, you know. And I didn't really, I didn't really think about that until well after I was done. But I truly believe, maybe I'm wrong. Bill or call me or shoot me a text if I'm off, if I'm off beat with this. But I think the way I conducted myself there kind of opened up the doors for the Randy Moss is another guy. I do too for sure and Bill used to reference you all the time yeah in a great way

I love Bill man Bill is I had a great respect for him man because you know what I think I understood him I got him you know what I mean like either you could do either you could do it or you can't and he's you know let me know yeah I think I'm kind of like that in my life too like can you can you do it or not so I I understood I understood them and then also I understood the assignment like I get you I'm not I'm here I'm here just personally like I'm gonna give you all I got you know I'm gonna go out there and and play my ass off don't worry about that part for me and I think that just kind of ties into everything he preaches and what he was about and we had it we had a we had a real good

good relationship yeah that's good to hear that yeah Well, let's go back into time. And this is a segment where you go over pop culture around when the game took place. This game took place October 22nd, 2000. Number one movie, Meet the Parents. Actually, really good movie. Shut out, Ben Stiller.

Oh, wow. Those are some funny. I'm old as hell. Number one's song, Come On Over Baby by Christine Aguilera. Oh, we remember that one. I don't remember that one. Come on over. Come on over, baby.

Pop culture, remember the Titans, that was a fucking one. Bring it on. Castaway, we're all in the boxed offices. Castaway. That's a good dog name, Wilson, because he was so best friends with the thing. With the volleyball? Yeah. It's a dog name.

It is. I remember going to, me and my parents took me. My parents on Thanksgiving, remember the Titans came out. Oh, yeah, man. We went out and watched it. You see, you're a full-grown man. I'm like a little kid. I watched that damn thing.

I started crying. and stuff. Strong side, left side. Peaty. Yeah. Super Bowl champions were the Ravens. That was an unbelievable defense. Marshall Falk was the MVP.

What another insane running better. Yes, indeed. Oklahoma took down the natty and Chris Winky, who was probably like 42, got out of the way. He was a bouncebacker. He'd been playing minor league ball

for a decade. Peer work was on that team that won the national championship with him. Yeah, good teammate am I? Yes. Legend. Real quick. Number 28.

Why is that the best number for a running back? I don't know. I just think it's the protocol number for, I didn't even pick it. It was just in the locker. Like, it found you. Yeah. This is what you're wearing.

Yeah. And I'm just like, I roll with it. I said, all right, cool. Yeah. Who other 28? Marshall Falk. Fred Taylor. Freddie T.

Yeah, man. A lot of us, man. Freddie T. And you guys, you were kind of similar because you guys were both big ass dudes. That's my guy, man. Adrian Peterson. work for a while ap yeah freddie t man same division man i mean if you if you can make if you can make a pro ball out of the division we played in fred t jerome bittas bro you really doing something

and then what's isn't who was the eddie george we it was or you guys are lewis who you guys went with the baltimore ravens were you in that division yes we played them twice a year yeah we seen who was there they had the guy who broke the record like jama louis Yeah, it was, that was running back you. That was. It was stacked, man. No, that was running back P. Professional.

Man. The universities, the kids. Man, that thing was, we're running backs. That's, it was so stacked up. Chris Johnson, we're 28. Curtis Martin. Speaking of my favorite, Martin. It's my favorite Martin.

Speaking of which, to Corey's point, 2000 was maybe the pinnacle of all running back seasons ever, a record 23 back. rush for over a thousand yards 23 backs it could be is it the greatest year for the running back you guys we ain't gonna see that now no definitely not now not not but half of these teams doing things by committee you will probably never see the likes of say kuan barkley again when he goes might a rare that bejean robinson's kind of oh he's bad boy oh he's like if they give that board of rock so I know but That's another thing goes to the point. The point, yeah, man.

They're not giving the rock like they did. Yeah. They used to feed you guys. Let me, all right, let me redefine what. If they ever get back to giving one guy like 25, 20 to 25, 30 carries a game, you'll see it. But that's going to be rare. It's going to be rare. So, yeah, I think we're in a last, into it comes back in style, hopefully.

where one running back can kind of control the show and then you know you have you have some pretty good other runners come in sparingly but that one guy you got to have a one guy there's got a big good complimentary that's why I liked Detroit now they got Gibbs and Montgomery and that's a bad tandem I like them those are some those are some good boys

and what he did against Baltimore the other day yo yeah man me like that's aFC north football i thought it's supposed to be tough in the yeah are they hurt though aren't they hurt in the middle of the i think they got hurt i think i think one of the backers yeah you got to be you got to be missing something to be giving that up yeah 150th you're probably on the ground yeah so did you play baseball yeah i did i play baseball i got drafted by the poddress that's what i mean yeah so 2000 corey dillon could have played in MLB, maybe?

Yeah, I just got scared, man. I got scared of getting stuck in the minor leagues, man. I was like, fuck that, man. Man, I could play third, second, center left. I was just, yeah, all over the place, man. I think baseball was my second love. Man, I played that faithfully, too. Yeah.

Yeah, so just the thoughts of, like, you know what, this whole minor league thing compared to, like, dude you're you football ready getting go get and go kind of steered me down the football path you ever talked to brady

about him being drafted I never knew that he was a catcher what yeah I didn't know that Montreal Expos where Barry Bonds went

no way see their school their school had some from that area that school was like they had so they had Lynn Swan come from there Barry

yeah had some legends yeah I didn't know I didn't really know that part yeah no one really knows that I mean he's such the goat

you would you would know it would have been good too I anything that man puts his mind to I think he's gonna be y'all right so what was what was on the Cory Dylan pregame list Walkman oh man do you have tapes or CDs you ready for this face boost

both I think I graduated to the CDs by then, but, man, you know, I'm bumping a little bit of E40, C-Bold. Yeah, man, little MC8, Ice Q, you know. West Coast rap. All West Coast, man. Bay Rast-Manly, mainly Bay Area. Be legit and in the celly sales. Mac Mall.

MacDray. Hey, Dre Dog was his original name. Yeah, and he went to, yeah, yeah. And he got up in Kansas. Yeah, man. So that was my deal. I was a hyphy movement kid. I'm from the Bay.

Oh, man, you're jumping out of stop license. Goz-Ri-Go-Sk. Yeah, you go. Shaking him out of great. I knew I liked you. This is my guy. I knew it. I knew it was something about him.

You said he 40, man. I went to Kent State in 06, and my ghetto report card just came out. Oh, yeah, man. And I rocked that out there. People are looking, what the fuck is this music? Because everyone's from, like, Maryland. Yeah, man. We had a lunch of Florida kids.

D.C. Cats. Like, what is this shit? Because you couldn't hear music like nowadays. Right, right. Man, I grew up on like too short and all that, and the Richie Riches and all that. That's amazing. Yeah, man, that's always been a part of me.

I slap in a little, little base, something. Get my mind right and go out there and get down. Got to. Marshaun, shout out. There it is. Jackie, let's break down these teams. Let's get into these Broncos real quick. The 2000 Broncos won 11 and 5.

To put it into a little context, where two years removed, the second year of the post-Elway era, if you will. Six year of the Mike Shanahan era. Gary Kubiak was running that offense. I remember him down in Houston everywhere. Grand Robinson run the defense. Son's a coach.

Clint Kubiak is the O.C. He was Houston last year. Started off super hot. Now he's somewhere this year and they're doing pretty well. Offense of coordinator in Seattle. There you go. Yeah. I mean, heck of a coaching football family there.

Look at the, and then the Shanahan, you got his sons. It all. There's so many crosses over in the NFL. And then you got Terrell Davis, of course, speaking of great running back, saying banged up this year, only played five games. So that gave way to Mike Anderson,

who bawled the heck out this year, offensive rookie of the year. How good was Terrell Davis? Man. He was good, but that system was awesome. You got to talk about a zone blocking scheme. How many yards could you have got me if you play for the blockers? I'm going thriller.

around we this I mean I would have loved it shanhan so that was the running backs knew around the league if you were in a Shanahan scheme oh dude

that zone scheme they ran was beautiful I would I would I would ate all day yeah what made it so conducive to running backs well I mean dude it's just the way

they set that thing up man I mean everything would just float it was like like one step it was just all unity man that dude all he had to do is just touch the rock and make a decision and he had lanes for days bro it was just like it wasn't he he wasn't really back there stutter and and trying to find a hole

like no he's seen it yeah multiple options is just exploding upfield with the ball man that's that's all a running back really wants yeah yeah multiple options and one cut and getting up field with the ball i mean mike anderson went for four almost 1500 yards as a rookie 15 touchdowns Like, that's insane. Who's the other guy that came in after Mike Anderson? Porter's. Oh, yeah, Clinton, Port. That system was unbelievable.

We got about ACL, too, at the U. Yeah, man. How about that? When I was a kid. Man, he was a beast, bro. They had a real good system up there. Yeah. We got to talk about some of these other dudes on this team.

We got Ed McCaffrey, you got Rod Smith, Desmond Clark, I mean, Terrell Buckley, Bill Romanowski. Who, scary dude. Who, scary dude. Jason Eelham, great kicker. Great kicker? Well, let me just drop in some of these thousand yards Broncos running backs.

Orlando, Gary, Mike Anderson, Clinton Portis twice, Ruben Drones, Mike Anderson, Tatum Bell, Willis McGahey, Nosham-Merano, C.J. Anderson, all had 1,000 yards. Yeah, man. The Broncos. The system was nice. That was a good system.

Yes, it was. So what was this era of Broncos when you were playing? They were good, man. This is, that's a, they just wasn't good on that day against us, but overall, they were good, man. Dude, there were number two in Rush. Yeah. They had a stout defense, man.

That was just like, I don't know, like I said, it wasn't a fluke, but I just think we were just, our grind was a little bit different than there. We were fighting just to win our first game. And then overall consensus on Cincinnati is we kind of took that personal teams coming in overlooking us like, it's going to be easy. Yeah. We took pride in going out there and putting a fight to some of these teams. So we caught them.

Yeah. We caught them. Jack, let's get in. Should we get into these Bengals real quick? Yeah, let's get in the Bengals. Tough start. Start out 0 and 6, as we mentioned earlier. Ended the season 4 and 12.

Had a coaching change in there. Week 4, Bruce Costlet replaced by Dick Lobo. You guys remember Dick Leboe from Pittsburgh. We're in their defense for over 10 years over there. Two Super Bowls. Two Super Bowls, heck of a career. notable rookies. We mentioned Peter Warwick earlier. Electric FSU

legend. Neil Rackers, good kicker. Good play in this game. And this was the first year of the primarily Achilles Smith starting year. Came in for Jeff Blake the year before that. Primarily, right, I think. So that was a big change in the offense and

mentioned it also a little bit earlier. First year at the new Paul Brown Stadium. New Paul Brown Stadium. All right. So break down this Bengals era. Yeah. we were struggling buddy without a doubt you can see that record

but you know what I wouldn't trade those times for nothing man I played with some real good players and when times are rough you can gauge somebody not nobody on that roster

you know gave up and tanked we all every game we went out there and we believe like yeah we're going to win the game so shots out to them bangles teams I played on in the players man and that's something I cherish to this day man when I when I see some of my fellow teammates from Cincinnati man yeah we fought bro yeah we fought what's it like going through a coaching change man it's mid-season it's tough it's tough I mean how much how much can anything really change it's probably the same thing isn't it's the same thing isn't it's the same

thing because you know what they're not going to change the offense yeah in the middle of the season it's impossible i mean and look like you know Achille was rookie coming in that that offense ain't going to change as much i think the emphasis on that year was hell we got to run the ball more i smiled like yeah give me the rock sweet good let's get it hell yeah let's go so yeah it was it was tough on everybody, man. Losing like year after year, man, that's wearing. Yeah. It's wearing and it sucks.

So, and everybody knows, like, winning cures a lot of stuff. A lot of things. So, yeah, we went through some tough times, but the bond between us on them teams, them players, hey man, dude, I never forget that. We brothers for life, man.

We went through, we fought some real tough wars. Who are some of your guys? Adrian, Raw. Nick Williams, I mean, Peter, Chad, T.J. Husmazada, Achille, you know what I mean? TJ played there a long time. Yeah, man. Tekeo Spikes. Tekeo is a monster. Brian Simmons, Artrelle Hawkins.

Yeah, these are my guys, man. All of them. I mean, and we can sit, we old as hell now. We can sit back and laugh about some of this stuff. But, man, we fought hard. We'll be right back after this quick break. Hi there. This is Josh Clark from the Stuff You Should Know podcast.

Wow. We're talking about the same Chad Johnson? Oh, yeah. That guy. Not Jack. McDonald's and Quiet. Wow. That should be his memoir title.

Yeah, man. He was, he was. He was so quiet. Like, I'd be like, what's up, Chad? He'd just be like, hmm, what's up, man? Nothing like the Chad we see now. I love that guy, man. What did that shift?

I play with Chad when he was older. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I think he came into his own. Twitter. Seriously, no, because he was like the first dude with like a million followers as an NFL guy. Maybe he caught it before everybody else caught it. I mean, like, I don't know. I remember young Chad, man.

he was very quiet. Yeah. Yeah. So now you look at him, man. He's doing his thing, man. He's killing him. Yeah, much love to Chad, man. Good dude.

He's hilarious. How much was Tikeo Spikes a friggin' monster? Man, that boy neck is like way out. Yeah, man. You ever have to go nine on seven against him? Yeah, all the time. It's like he was fast, strong, and played the game with just like you're supposed to play.

So, yeah, man. So our little seven-on-sevons and running R-Bs against the line, it was epic. Yeah. Absolutely. And, you know, slapping me out there, they always trying to get one up on me. So it was always a war. So good wars, too. So, yeah, that guy, one hell of a linebacker.

He was. How was Cincinnati as a sports town? They love their sports. They love their sports. They love their sports, man. Whether it's the Reds or the Bengals, everybody's invested. So, you know what?

I know we put them through some bad times, but they kept coming, man. That's a sports town. Skyline or Gold Star? Oh, shit, I'm going Skyline. Skyline. I was a Gold Star guy. I was a Northeast Ohio kid.

I went to school up there. I thought, honestly, both the chilies taste a little weird. to me. Get ready later on that night. Be prepared. I'll tell you that, but yeah. Be prepared. Jackie, jump into the game. Let's get in this quick little

lead up here. Denver, the big storyline. Terrell Davis was banged up. This was a Mike Anderson era. They dropped a couple close ones early. Lost to Kansas City, lost to the Pats. And then over on the Cincinnati side, struggling a little bit. We talked about Achilles Smith's first year at the helm.

Honestly, just looking for a win in this New stadium, this new millennium, Denver entered 4 and 3 with the league's second best rushed events. I believe they're averaging 61.1 yards a game allowed, which is pretty darn incredible, pretty stout. Cincinnati, on the other hand, 0 and 6, and then looking for a first win at their new home. And in this new millennium, brings us to week 8. So what was the game plan to get your first win in the new stadium? Man. Give you the rock. let's just go out there and play hard yeah you know i think the consensus in the in the locker room was

yeah we're all in six bro let's do something about it you know and and and we kind of felt like you know what they're coming in on that high horse too they think it's going to be easy and our thing was let's not make it easy for them let's not make it easy for them and i think we as as a as a team that was that was our focus we're not we're going to it's not going to be easy for him and i mean you guys go through a quarterback change right but the one constant was that you were running the rock when did you feel that there was going to be a special day man i think i broke one off for like 60 and i was like oh yeah this is it's time it's time this time we're eating Yeah, we're eating today.

And you know what? I think that put us up. I'm not for sure. But the score was close. We're like neck and neck. And I'm like, yeah, we got this. We got this. So as the game went on, I just felt stronger.

You know, so kudos to that offensive line, Big Willie and the crew, man. They blocked their ass off that game, man. Yeah. They created some massive holes for me. made it super easy. All I had to do was just, you know,

but I make one cut, and I was out. Wow, Big Willie. Shout out. Speaking of the big boys on the line, I know quarterbacks to it, but did you guys ever hook him up with any sick gifts? Oh, man, you know,

I bought watches for the fellas. I mean, you know, I got paid one day. Got to look out for the guy. And they looked at me like, yeah, you got that check. What's coming? Absolutely.

Got to. Yeah, you got to. Broleys. Yeah. Something light, some light. You got to keep them invested, man, absolutely. So what were they doing trying to slow you down? You know what?

To be honest with you, that team was like from sideline to sideline, they were fast-flowing. And I kind of picked up on this early. Like, if we could get them going in one direction and make a cut, the floodgates is open. I think there was one play where, and you could see it like Peter Ward on a reverse. We got going one way And he reversed it back to the left And went for 80 Yeah

To the crib To the crib To the crib And I was just looking like Yeah they're over pursuing like Like crazy So let me start setting them up Just getting you know

Getting going one way And then looking for that backside cut And sure enough man There was no backside cut off Yeah It was wide open Why open Someone's getting yelled at next week

So my baby fired demoted some yeah that was late in the second quarter that was a good momentum going into the half a jason illam missed field goal keeps it a one score game 14 10 at the half you guys are excited at halftime because you guys were pumped we're in it lot yeah corny already broken off some big runs you got a 31 yard piece 21 yard I mean brain and bent it everybody's getting involved everybody's eating and we're thinking like yeah what we said earlier we're not making it easy for him we can win this game yeah and so already had 161 rushing yards at the half since he did 161 crazy then you have a crazy last five minutes where you you i think you go 40 60 and the like

the four minute offense situation you break that long run and you go and you score right take us through that play beat for beat dude honestly man i'm just trying to stay in bounds and preserve the game yeah I had no clue on where I was, yardage-wise, at none. My mindset was like, whatever you do, do not step out of bounds, keep that clock running, and ice the game. And it was like a zone run to the right. And, man, and they, like I said, they over-pursued. And by time I touched the ball, there was somebody already in the backfield. So, yeah, so I cut back to the left.

And the only guy out there really was, I think it was Terrell Buckley. He was, he was the last man left. And I kind of, I kind of set him up, jukeed him, got around them. And I'm cautious of looking at that sideline. I was, I was very close out on the sideline. I'm just like, just stay in bounds. And once I got past him and stumbled in the end zone, I'm like, yeah, game done. Game is done.

That's it. Game time. So, and then coming off, you know, we're pre-celebrating a little bit. And I'm just happy, like, you know what, we actually, we iced the game. That's our first win. But walking off to the sideline, I'm looking up at the scoreboard and see, we, we, the record, I'm like, no way, dude, are you kidding me? No, we just didn't break a record.

So, overwhelmed. most of all delighted we're getting the dub our first dub but dang man that was that was unbelievable and to me it didn't even feel like i ran for that many yards to be honest with you i think i was just more focus on trying to get the w than anything yeah yeah good things happen when you you focus on that amen i mean just got to give corey some flowers here for this incredible performance in the third quarter 37 yard rush a 30 yard run A 14-yard run. Then we bring it to the fourth quarter, like we just kind of walked through there.

A 65 piece to make it 24-14. You got the announcer saying this is the knockout blow. Then, Corey's like, no, I'm not done. I got another one left in me. Once Denver scores, cuts it to 24-21, a 41-yarder to seal it and break the record. Unbelievable. Unreal. And then you get, you get, you get drenched.

You get the gags, the water. We got a top on you a couple of times. Take that damn Scott Mitchell. Yeah, man, I'm over there being, you know, I'm in my feelings a little bit. I'm like, I'm overwhelmed. I'm like, damn, I just broke a record. And then I'm getting a Gatorade shower. I'm like, man, who did that?

Like three? Yeah. And looking back on and seeing the film, I'm like, Scott Mitchell. Fucking Scott had to get his money's worth after just going in there and going 0 for 5 and just handing it off. The only thing he was throwing that thing was the water. You know the craziest thing out of this whole equation. And I think we only pass for like, what, 14 yards?

Exactly. You're on the money. Two completion. And they're both in the first half from McKele. First drive. Who wins a game like that? Corey Dillon. And the Cincinnati Bengals.

In the Cincinnati Bengals's offensive line. There you go. But like that brings my next point. I was going to ask you, Corey, like, what do you do when everyone in the stadium, the offense, the defense, anyone, they know, all right, here's where the Rock's going. I faced that all my career there. It was the norm. It was normal for me. Just another day at the office.

And the thing our offensive line coaches to preach, Paul used to say, man, Corey, there's one guy left for you. You got to make a miss. You know what I mean? We got everybody else. That last, Paul Alexander, that last guy is yours. Do you? And, yeah, there's eight, nine men in the box constantly.

That was, that was, that's the norm for me. So I'd never, I never looked at it as anything different. So every game I knew what I was facing and got after it. So you beat Sweetness's record, Walter Payton. Did he call you? I think I think Walt passed the year past the year before. Yeah, that's, and that most, why I was that, that's what I was thinking about like, no way, man. Yeah.

There's some things not meant to be touched. And I'm thinking like, why am I crazy ass? Why am I here in this position eclipsing now? one of the best all-time performances you know what I mean so because you're one of the best all-time performers my friend I guess so that's right man so what happens when you break a record like this like are you just people reach out to you are any purse that comes with it man a lot of people reached out man but man it was funny they they had people from like the hall of fame on deck like my jersey and shoes were gone yeah like like that I'm like where where these people come from

You know, I'm like, you know, I wanted to keep the stuff But they were there instantly Grab the jersey Grab the shoes and we're off So yeah, this is This is probably one of my best Best performance Period

As a professional I mean, it was a damn good one You set a record Yeah, yeah Jesus And you also had the rookie single game That orler game was pretty dope too But this game

I kind of like He was in his own I was in that zone Who's the coolest person That reached out afterwards Let me see Man That was so long ago man

I can't I can't really pinpointing man But I got a lot of I got a lot of People reaching out And giving me props man And What was homeboy on sports center

Tom Scott Tom Jackson? Tom Jackson Yeah That man That man came down and interview me and we went on over this whole thing of running backs and I gave him a whole spill about Tony Dorsan and Eric Dickerson and Walt and Jim and he kind of and

Tom was a pretty damn good player himself and he just looked at me and was like yeah yeah you know what you're talking about you know what I mean so I thought that was I thought that was pretty cool and something I never forget man this is that game itself Now, you guys, every blue moon, I go back and peep it. I go back and check it out. It's a work of art. I go back and check it out. And I go back and check it out.

She got to show your daughters. Hey, dad was cool. Dad just wasn't full of shit. Your dad was actually a good player. You know, I go back and look at the game and I was like, to this day. And I'm like, ooh, still give me chills. Like, damn, I was doing it. He were, sir.

Jackie put a bow on this. And it's great. or something else. Corey, we talked about it. You set the NFL single game rushing record, a record that it's held for 25 years, sweetness RIP. Cincinnati rushed for a team high, 407 yards. You got Warwick and Bennett chipping in there with some big ones. Cincinnati would miss the playoffs finish in 4 and 12. Denver would make the playoffs with 11 and 5 record, fall to Baltimore in the wildcard round 21 to 3. That single game record would stand until 2003 when another

aFC north foe Jamal Lewis would break it going 295 yards that would then get broken by Adrian Peterson against LT and the Chargers and then

Did you talk with Jamal Lewis after after he broke it or you're still playing he's a division guy yeah we chopped it up I said good job man I mean honestly like

the way I think about it man records are meant to be broken somebody's gonna come along and just look at that I think that was not not so far after Adrian Peterson came along and did his thing. So, yeah, man, all records are meant to be broken.

Just going to take that special guy to come along and do it. And that was in 2009 with 296 yards. And we talked about it a little bit earlier, but no four. Corey would join our New England Patriots and win a Super Bowl, beaten Philadelphia 24 to 21, man. That's pretty darn cool.

Yeah. Now let's name the game. These are some names that we came up with. If you have a name that you call it by, we can go by that. Okay. We have the 278 game, the rushing record game, the record breaker, or the upset in the jungle. I'm going to rock with the upset in the jungle. I like that.

Team guy. I like it. I like it. Score the game. Is this the greatest game of all time? Let's score it. Decimals encouraged. stakes

0 to 10 decimals encouraged the stakes of this game oh man the stakes man we're going on 7 if we don't go

up there we don't get it done and that's evident on our mind is like yeah let's show up and play ball man so zero to 10 you got to grade it

but I give it I give it zero to 10 nine nine I mean it's a high state game for him high stakes gotta get a win come on high stakes regular I mean I just gotta let you know

we've done Super Bowls people trying to repeat on Super Bowls people trying to three peat in Super Bowls girls taking their shirts off after winning the World Cup's geopolitically Miracracracris I gotta go with the five core

I'm sorry oh man it's a regular season game I went 4.3 I did 3.1 regular season game now we got to grade the star power the star power of this game who was in the stadium you know new stadium coaches players

Hall of Famers Star powers 0 to 10 decimals encouraged Ah man I'm gonna go I'm gonna go 7 I'm gonna go like a 7 8 7.8 because I mean

in in the bodies of some of those coaches are even potentially other Hall of Fame coaches Dick LaBow I mean Bow's good The coaches

It's a big coach thing There's a Cory Dillon I did 6.5 And you're doing a lot of the heavy lifting The gameplay of the game Back and forth

A lot of rushing Two passes Completed on the offense For the Cincinnati Bengals Yeah But the game play The game zero to 10 decimals Encourge

I'm going nine I did my thing He sure did He did Right 14 yards passing Somebody's got somebody had to do something right go with the eight flat there you go i rock with that that's i mean it's in the seven one i did six point five two completions it's tough yeah that's tough i think the

most impressive i was there i know you know maybe maybe the craziest part of this is this this scott mitchell contributed to the rushing record there of the uh team he had eight yards oh yeah how did my man scott he was the most bubble guy of all time yeah on a bootleg he is down for a 407, Scott said, I got eight of those for you. Thanks, Scott. For contributing. I appreciate it. Now we got to grade the name of the game, the upset in the jungle.

Ah, man, I'm going to go. I'm going to get out of 10 because, you know what? We're going on six, man. And that was a first win in the jungle. And that team was not a slouch. That was a pretty best defense. Yeah, that was a pretty good team. And it's also like the significance of this game long term.

And like a major record was broken. right that part of it yeah it was midseason like a major record got broken you get your first win you guys celebrate this for any differently midseason anything go out do anything man i went home and went to sleep i was tired i feel that i was tired good day i was tired i'm gonna go at the eight there we go with a seven point oh i did eight point one all right all right where is it what is the total it is a seven point oh one that's going to put us down at our new 77th game

it's just behind the 2006 NFC wildcar game Cowboys versus Seahawks and just ahead of Vikings versus Bucks week 9 1998 remember that game okay who's that game with that was Lorenzo Neal wasn't it that was that was Lorenzo Neal

the low man's wins game where they had another richly you're in good company there yeah man I can rock with that yeah it's a good spot it's a great spot if you look at like our like this is the top of these These are all games we've covered. Hmm, Falcons Patriots. There's a lot of Patriots in the top 10.

Interesting. No bias. Zero bias. I mean, look at the top three. Oh, no, man. That was one hell of a catch. Man, I love this dude, man. That was wow.

That was wild. That was, I never seen nothing like that, man. That was stupid route. Greatest comeback I ever. Man, dude. Bad boy here, man. Julian, yeah. no we you know what it's cori we miss anything with this game no i think we summed it up man we covered

everything that was so but you know this is our real first time getting to really meet right it's been such an honor because you were when i was a kid you were like the running back of the running backs in the league and then i got to play under the organization that you know you want a super bowl in And you were always a focal point in teaching lessons of what I heard for my 12 years of being in New England. Bill would always bring you up, like, you know, in some form or fashion, he'd be like, look, you're no Cory Dillon. Like to some slap dick running back or so, you're a guy, like, you know what I mean? So it's been funny to, it's been awesome to get to meet you for the first time. And I'm such a big fan.

Thank you for coming on. Are you doing anything right now? Oh, man, I'm, I'm chilling. I got some lightweight scouting stuff I do. But other than that, man, I spend my time just golfing and minding my business. You know what I mean? Both those things. You know what I mean?

And I like to say, it's a pleasure meeting you too, man. I really feel like we come from that same tree. And even though we didn't play together, still my brother, man. You know what I mean? So we learned under that same teacher, man. And then very, very special moment for me and an honor meeting you too. Get out of here, man. Yeah, no, real talk, man.

It's a story of how I learned to hide, to cry, to survive and eventually how I got out.

Witness the journey from devout follower to determine survivor as Elena exposes the a man behind the cloth and the system that protected him.

In early 1988, federal agents raced to track down the gang

they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia. We had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. But what they find is not what they expected. Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter? I said yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years. Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them,

the women must decide who they're willing to protect and who they dare to betray. Once I saw the gun, I try to take his hand and I saw the flash of light. Listen to the Chinatown Sting on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Malcolm Gladwell here.

This season on Revisionous History, we're going back to the spring of 1988 to a town in northwest Alabama. where a man committed a crime that would spiral out of control. 35 years. That's how long Elizabeth's and its family waited for justice to occur. 35 long years. I want to figure out why this case went on for as long as it did, why it took so many bizarre and unsettling turns along the way,

and why, despite our best efforts to resolve suffering, we all too often make suffering worse. He would say to himself, turn to the right to the victim's family and apologize, turn to the left, tell my family I love him.

been to a bowl game been to a final four game been to the I've been to the Daytona 500 the Kentucky Derby Stanley Cup never been yeah so

I would say for me my number one is Wimbledon's in mine I never been to Wimbledon so Wimbledon's one of mine but my number one is probably probably a Rose Bowl. Oh, yeah. A Rose Bowl National Championship.

I want to the Rose Bowl for the first time for the flea market. It was spectacular. Wait, no, hold on. We got to go. I want to go so bad. Now, the Rose Bowl National Championship doesn't exist anymore. Well, doesn't, don't they get to do that somehow? They do the National Championship game from the Rose Bowl venue, but is no longer the game.

I want the National Championship at the Rose Bowl. National Championship of the Rose Bowl. Okay. They're going to playoff game there. They have playoff games there. But traditionally, as of the new format, The championship is always at, like, a big dome somewhere. So, like, a national championship at the Rose Bowl would be U.S.

That's my bucket list. Yeah. National championship at the Rose Bowl. Like, which teams? Doesn't matter. You don't care. Me too. Oh, my God.

I'm going to say. You know, when it goes from, like, four o'clock, and it's late, and then it turns into a night game late, it's like twilight. Oh, my God. So cool. I just want to go, I just want to go see the Rose Bowl. Yeah. Like, I just want to see it.

It's not about, for me, it's about the people around. For sure. You know, you got to make sure you got to get out of the way of those. Little red wine, little meats, some chakoterie. Definitely running. with the Bulls. I would like to go to a game seven Stanley Cup final with the Penguins at home. That would be.

Game set. Okay. I like that. Specificity. I'm going to go. I like this. See, because like last year I did game five NBA finals.
