[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, I can. I could answer that for Pete. 1991, correct?

[Don Allen]

Yeah, I mean, it's hard to say. I. I feel like I'm. I'm a little more emo about 87 because it was the first and like.

[Don Hahn]

Some of my little.

[Peter Rosenberg]

But you always. Some of my 91 team.

[Don Hahn]

91 was your wheelhouse, one of the.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Greatest history of the sport.

[Don Allen]

91 is one of the greatest top five team probably in history. But I'm just telling you the truth. I think probably about 87 more, but 90, almost amazing.

[Don Hahn]

91'S like. But that's like your real. How old were you?

[Don Allen]

I was 12.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah, see, that's right. I mean, that's. That's the sweet spot, right? All right, so here's some trivia for you, espn.com doing this for all the super bowl teams. Franchise that won a Super bowl, they pick one year or maybe the last one.

[Don Allen]

You said the last one the other day.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah, I think that's what it is. The last one they won. And they'll give you some tribute. Let's see how good you do out of 10. And Don, you can participate to see if you can outscore Peter.

[Don Allen]

Well, yeah, we kind of helped each other more than anything the other day, but it's okay. Whatever you want to do.

[Don Hahn]

It's a competition. Hands on the buzzers, gentlemen.

[Peter Rosenberg]

All right.

[Don Hahn]

Which quarterback started the most games for Washington in 91? Stan Humphries, Mark Rippon. Jeff Rutledge, Gus Farratt.

[Don Allen]

That would be Mark Rippon.

[Don Hahn]

Sir, you are correct. That seemed. Let's see, again. These start very easy. Which players scored in the super bowl for Washington in 1991? Ricky Sanders, Art Monk, Gerald Riggs. Gary Clark.

[Don Allen]

Give me Gerald Riggs.

[Don Hahn]

Gerald Riggs. Two for two, bang.

[Don Allen]

How do you like that, Don? For your ace.

[Don Hahn]

I mean four yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah. Nothing goes up.

[Don Allen]

If it's up, then it's all right.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's up there. You'll know.

[Don Allen]

Well, yeah, actually, you know what? I had a little bit experience with that yesterday. Not me.

[Don Hahn]

I'm gonna leave that alone. Let Rick handle that one.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Don Hahn]

Which player was a rookie on Washington in 91? Mark Schlerith. Martin Mayhew, Ricky Irvins. Brad Edwards.

[Don Allen]

Oh, man.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I'm gonna go Slayer.

That's right.

[Don Allen]

Yeah, I think it's. I think it's stink. I'm gonna go stink as well.

[Don Hahn]

Ricky Irvins.

[Don Allen]

Oh, I thought Ricky Irvin was 92.

[Don Hahn]

We do need the buzzer. All right, so we're two for three so far.

[Don Allen]

That's embarrassing. I knew Ricky Irvins was right around then. I kind of thought he was. The next year, I forgot he was on the super bowl team.

[Don Hahn]

Okay, well, Ricky, you lost that number. Which player played for Washington? 91. And is now a member of the Pro Football hall of Fame? Oh, Jim Lachey. Did I say that right?

[Don Allen]

Jim Lachey.

[Don Hahn]

Lashey.

[Peter Rosenberg]

For a hockey guy, that was a bad job.

[Don Hahn]

It's a bad job by me. Listen, we're just getting through it. Art Monk, Gary Clark, Charles Mann.

[Don Allen]

I'm gonna go with Arthur Bartholomew. Monk.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's right.

[Don Hahn]

Nailed it.

[Don Allen]

Current.

[Don Allen]

Raven. The Charger.

[Don Hahn]

Now, let's go to which defensive player, along with Darrell Green, led Washington Interceptions in 91? Oh, so you have Mayhew, Andre Collins, Sydney Johnson, Wilbur Marshall.

[Don Allen]

It's got to be Martin.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Mayhew.

[Don Hahn]

Mayhew, yeah. Wilbur Marshall. No.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I wouldn't have guessed that, Peter.

[Don Allen]

That is shocking. I didn't know. Listen, last second I went, well, it could be a weird year. And a linebacker got a bunch, I would have thought.

[Don Hahn]

Fun fact. It's been 10 years since a defensive player was named Super Bowl MVP.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And that would be Von Miller, if I'm not mistaken.

[Don Hahn]

I'll go with that. All right, which. Sorry, who was the kicker on that team in 91? Peter. Chip Low. Miller.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yes.

[Don Hahn]

Kelly Goodburn. As if there's a bad one. Al Edwards or Jake Moody?

[Don Allen]

That would be. That would be Chip Lo. Miller.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Chip Lomo is the only number I knew in that list.

[Don Hahn]

Nailed it. Let's see. Okay, almost done here. Right now, I think you are. Are you Four for six?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, that's what you are.

[Don Hahn]

Which player on The Redskins in 91 had played 10 or more seasons at that point in the NFL? Jeff Bostick, Ernest Byner, Raleigh McKenzie or Daryl Green?

[Don Allen]

That's so tough. Not. Not Daryl.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, he was drafted in 83. Right.

[Don Allen]

Who was the first?

[Don Hahn]

Feels like he was. He's been in the league for 40 years.

[Don Allen]

So it's, it's, it's, it's going to be beiner or Raleigh McKenzie.

[Don Hahn]

Okay.

[Don Allen]

It's 91. Don was Byner already on year 10. He had a whole career in Cleveland.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah, Don't.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah. So he. Because he was in when I.

[Don Allen]

That's tough. First name was what?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Bostic.

[Don Hahn]

Jeff Bostick.

[Don Allen]

Yeah. I don't think Bostic is your 10 already. Although I got to tell you, he's probably getting close to Don. Bostic's probably hovering right there too, isn't he?

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's who I'd guess.

[Don Allen]

All right, let's. Let me Don. Stick together. Let's go, Jeff Bostick.

[Don Hahn]

Show me Bostic. Correct.

[Peter Rosenberg]

All right.

[Don Allen]

Wow, Don, thank you for pushing me the right way. God, you guys, how crazy it is. Bostic. That is the core player on all of the Super Bowls. One they lost and all three they won.

[Don Hahn]

Let's see if Don gets this little, like fun. I like things my way. My coffee, my schedule and my treatment. So I talked to my doctor about self injecting with the Vivgard Hytrulo pre filled syringe which contains fgar, Tigamide Alpha and Hyaluronidase qvfc.

[Don Hahn]

Sidebar who's the oldest player to appear on a Super bowl roster? Oldest player? Yeah. Little hint. He was a backup quarterback. So backup Steve deburg nailed it.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Now really?

[Don Allen]

What?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Superb. Got a chance to say it. He was on that Falcon team in 98.

[Don Allen]

He was on the Falcon team.

[Peter Rosenberg]

He played a little bit too. Not in the game, but he definitely played a little bit.

[Don Hahn]

That he was 45.

[Don Allen]

He was that.

[Peter Rosenberg]

He was the quarterback in San Francisco before Montana.

[Don Hahn]

Right.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Then he finished the season for the Dolphins. When Marino tore his Achilles, he played forever.

[Don Allen]

Then he went to Kansas City. And then Montana goes to Kansas City.

[Don Hahn]

All right, Peter, you are right now five for seven.

[Don Allen]

Oh, here we go.

[Don Hahn]

Another one who scored a touchdown. I think this again. This was like the giant one who scored a touchdown for Washington in 91.

[Don Allen]

In the whole season?

[Don Hahn]

I guess so. Yeah. But it's probably going to give you ridiculous names. So let's say I wouldn't know any of these names. Brian Mitchell, Terry or Ron Middleton. I do not. Ambassador Johnson Last name?

[Don Allen]

What's the give me spelling ad?

[Don Hahn]

I'm afraid to say it. A D I C K E S Mark.

[Don Allen]

Mark. Addicts to Terry or and Middleton are two tight ends.

[Don Hahn]

I looked at it as totally.

[Don Allen]

And of course. And of course give me Brian Mitchell with a return to the house.

[Don Hahn]

Don, show me Mitchell. No, it's Terry or.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's a tough one.

[Don Hahn]

That is a tough.

[Don Allen]

You're just. You're totally guessing. Yes, Terry or. Or Middleton. I certainly could have scored a touchdown, so.

[Don Hahn]

But you're 12.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And to remember everything that happened in the regular season that year, it's a lot. It's a lot.

[Don Allen]

Here we go. Two to getting tough here.

[Don Hahn]

Down the stretch, it gets a little harder. Which member of your favorite team went to college at South Carolina? Joe Jacoby. Tim Johnson. Russ Grimm. Brad Edwards.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You need Rothenberg for this.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah, I know, I know.

[Don Allen]

Give me the names one more time.

[Don Hahn]

Joe Jacoby. Tim Johnson. Russ Grimm, Brad Edwards.

[Don Allen]

I have. I have no clue, but for some reason, Tim Johnson is sticking out my mind like that's the answer, but I have no stinking clue.

[Don Hahn]

Ambassador Johnson. It's Brad Edwards, by the way.

[Don Allen]

Love Brad Edwards. Solid. We love. We love Brad. The rare white boy cornerback, number 27. We love Brad.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I don't. I can't picture, like, Grim and Jacoby playing in college. They feel like they're working lab somewhere, you know?

[Don Hahn]

All right, the final one. And where is he now? Is he seven of. No, he's. You got six. Six of nine.

[Peter Rosenberg]

All right, so this pass or fail right here.

[Don Allen]

No, I think I got two wrong in a row. I might be five.

[Don Hahn]

You might be at five.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, I think you got the six.

[Don Hahn]

No, I think he's five for nine. Five for nine?

[Don Allen]

Yeah, five for nine. I got the Brian Mitchell one wrong, too. And it was Terry or who was.

[Don Hahn]

The ball carrier on Washington's longest play from scrimmage in the Super Bowl. Art Monk, Gary Clark, Ricky Sanders, Jeff Rutledge.

[Don Allen]

Give me a wacky play to Ricky Sanders.

[Don Hahn]

Ricky Sanders. Nailed it.

[Don Allen]

There we go.

[Don Hahn]

Nice way to finish it, Don.

[Don Allen]

We had a similar sort of. It was a very similar trajectory.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah, I love trivia.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It takes us back to, like, the COVID days when we used to have all that trivia. We go at it, but these questions are really rough.

[Don Hahn]

They're very weird.

[Peter Rosenberg]

They're very weird.

[Don Allen]

But that was fun. Thank you for indulging me, people.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, we got calls to get, maybe more trivia. Who knows? A lot happened until 7 o'. Clock. And then it's Knicks basketball right here on espn.

[Don Allen]

Why not?

[Don Hahn]

Let's do it. Talk to the peeps.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Let's go to Moose in Jamaica. You're on ESPN New York. What's up, Moose?

[Caller]

Don Allen, Tito, what's good? Good evening.

[Peter Rosenberg]

What's up, baby?

[Caller]

First things first. Quick shout out to Michael Happy belated on his birthday week. I wanted to get you, but I couldn't. And he had this topic on his show of. He wants somebody to call in and say why they wouldn't watch the super bowl because of Bad Bunny. Well, I haven't been watching the Super Bowl. Last Super Bowl I watched was 2018 Eagles over Patriots. I saw it at a Super bowl party in a bar with the locals and stuff because of what 45:47 said about Colin Kaepernick and how he couldn't get a job after that. So in solidarity, like many in the black community, they stop watching the Super Bowl. So I might be inclined to watch it this time because of the reverse controversy based on the current political climate. Not to get political, but that's how I feel.

[Don Hahn]

But you did.

[Don Allen]

I respect your take. You're not boycotting.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Not to get political, but you're not boycotting the NFL. You're just boycotting the Super Bowl. But you still watch.

[Caller]

I don't watch the super bowl game or the halftime. I just watch everything up until the Super Bowl.

[Don Hahn]

So what do you do?

[Don Allen]

Well, what do you do? I mean, you know what?

[Don Hahn]

Don.

[Don Allen]

Don. Fraud alert rule.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah. Doesn't make sense. You're either out or you're in. Like, you can't be.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I mean, listen, what do you guys want to protest?

[Don Hahn]

Right? Like, that's. That's.

[Don Allen]

That's kind of like you hit a late fraud here at 6. 51.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You know what? I. I never revealed this because I. I don't want to get political, but I was so disgusted by what Happened with the NFL and Colin Kaepernick that since then, I've protested every Pro Bowl. I will not watch the Pro Bowl. I'll watch everything else. But me and my buddies all get together and say, listen, I drove a line at the Pro Bowl. Not watching.

[Don Allen]

No, I, I.

[Don Hahn]

And the awards. I'm not watching that. Oh, no.

[Peter Rosenberg]

NFL matters.

[Don Hahn]

Out, out, out. That'll. That'll let. That'll show them.

[Don Allen]

Yeah, I'm not watching your Pro Bowl.

[Don Hahn]

Talk about a pro. Talk about a pro. Like, that's not even. That's an embarrassment to protests.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yes, that's.

[Don Hahn]

Protest him.

[Don Allen]

How has no one hit the fraud siren? It was insane. You can't.

[Commercial Announcer]

You can't.

[Don Allen]

I respected it. I thought he meant he protested everything.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, I would respect that.

[Don Hahn]

That's protesting like protesting the, you know, eating meat and, you know, the whole meat is murder thing. But, I mean, I really like hamburgers, so I'm just, you know.

[Don Allen]

Well, no, I can't include hamburgers.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You know what? I'm really disgusted by the whole meat industry. So I've decided I'm never gonna have liver again. Ever.

[Don Hahn]

That's it.

[Don Allen]

Done.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Not gonna happen. Let's go to JJ in North Carolina. You're on espn, New York.

[Caller]

Hey, fellas. I haven't called in a while, but I wanted to.

[Don Allen]

I just.

[Caller]

I don't think this gets said enough before I get to my. The Super Bowl. My super bowl prediction. What do you guys do as far as. It's hard for you guys to understand, but when people are going through stuff and you guys just provide this entertainment and comedy and good talk radio, it does a lot for people personally, just going through, like, you know, an elderly dog situation. As you know, Peter's gone through. It's brutal. But you guys, you guys helped me out and I appreciate it a bunch, so wanted to say that.

[Don Hahn]

Thanks.

[Don Allen]

Sorry to hear that, buddy.

[Caller]

Of course, man. Thanks, Peter. I know I've talked to you about that before, so appreciate it. Tough stuff with the.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I think the.

[Caller]

I just think the Seahawks are overall a better team. When they played the Patriots in the super bowl, you know, last time, I think the Page that patriots team is 10 times better. Not 10 times, but definitely better than this Patriots team, so. And I don't know if Darnold is better than Wilson right now, but I think this Seahawks defense is as good or even better than the last Seahawks defense. So I think they win by about 10ish. And Darnold wins MVP. JSN probably has two touchdowns.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, that's Kind of where I'm at with it. I. Listen, I can't say the Seahawk team is the Legion of Boom. That was a really good defense, but it was a different league. Even 10 years ago, there's still a lot of parody. I don't know if there's any real great teams. So I can't put that Seahawk. I kind of committed myself that whoever wins the championship to me will not be comparable to teams from the past because I just think the game is different now.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So I can't go that far. But they're deserving if they do win it. Ed, New Jersey, you're on espn. New York, make it quick. We're up against it.

[Caller]

Hey. Hey, guys. How you doing?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Good.

[Caller]

It's fitting. You were talking about Billy Kilmer and he had a little bit to do with something. You, you don always talked about the goal post in the front of the end zone. Because In Super Bowl 7, the Redskins were in the red zone and Billy Kilmer sees Jerry Smith wide open the core of the end zone and the ball hits the cross, not the crossbar, but the upright, and incomplete. Very next play, he gets picked off by Jake Scott and basically that's. And the Redskins basically lose a Super bowl kind of because of that. And two years later they moved the goal post back.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So. Well, I don't know. I guess the logic wasn't. Thank you for the phone call that, hey, you score a touchdown crossing the line, that's where the kicks got to be. But it seemed really stupid. Jeff Passon reports first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and the New York Yankees are finalizing a one year contract.

[Don Allen]

Goldie.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, they're not running it back. Allen.

[Don Hahn]

No, no, no, it's not running it back.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, it's, it's running in place. It's, you know, I don't know what it is, but. No, that's. Yeah. Why not?

[Don Hahn]

No, it's. I mean, again, you get him cheap, right? Like, and he's, you know, he's good. So, you know, but you're right.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's.

[Don Hahn]

It's pretty much the same team.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Alan, enjoy your night off. Got Knicks, but no Allen. So enjoy. We will talk to you again on Monday. Recap the super bowl and get, get life ahead without some football coming up at 3 o' clock on Monday. Peter, I know you got everything going on at home.

[Don Allen]

God bless.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Everything's gonna be okay.

[Don Hahn]

Thank you.

[Peter Rosenberg]

God bless you and your family. And let's hope it's a really good super bowl. Man. I've got Seattle winning. Sam Darnold is the mvp. We'll talk to you on Monday. Have a great weekend.
