Talk with Ted - A Show About Nothing

Episode 60 - Burgess Owens, A (Jet) Raider!


Listen Later

Super Bowl XV Champion Burgess Owens has been running his entire life. He ran while studying marine biology at the University of Miami. He ran for nearly a decade in the NFL in NYC and Oakland. And, now he's running for U.S. Congress, Utah, 4th District. (Apparently when he's not running, he's writing, lecturing, motivating, rehabilitating, etc.) We discussed his amazing life, the importance of family, education, socialism, Colin Kaepernick, Kobe Bryant, Facebook, the confederate flag, symbolism, history, etc. I tried pressing him on a few issues, and he pressed right back with his philosophies, life experiences and outlook. Toward the end I repeatedly tried to get him to share a memory of his single greatest play, but he kept avoiding the questions and just rambled on about being part of a winning team. Typical politician!

Good luck Burgess, but be careful with the hand-checking because you don't want to get called for pass interference this late in the game, and the rules have changed since 1981!
