Jerry is a cool dude,TCB

[@ShineNoelA]

Jerry is a pure gentleman and a bona fide friend of Elvis who was loved by E

[@tonycarrubba8946]

I'm Elvis fan I did not know I knew Elvis like football but I didn't know he liked football that much this is really so cool

[@ZJ-ne9kn]

Jerry is still sharp as a tack great episode and exhibit can tell how close they were glad he's still with us

[@clifffor1179]

The book with a bullet hole cracks me up. What a great character Elvis was.

[@old59caddy]

Here’s a little bit of Elvis trivia for you all. Elvis was on this Earth for 15,562 days. Today marks 15,562 days since he passed. 03/24/2020. RIP. Ive been waiting about 20 years to share that.

[@brendabooher6683]

ELVIS was no sissy. He liked his football and many other sports. He was the best darn looking football player ever, and the best entertainer of all time.

[@ronaldcarr3481]

Elvis is still amazing us to this day I sure miss the guy

[@lancehurley9743]

Elvis is forever a legend till the end of time

[@brendairby9910]

ELVIS lived about 4 lifetimes in his 42 years. He did it all, and had it all. He was filmed, photographed, & remembered for every day/minute of his life it seems. This is a great Gates! I've watched this 5 times today trying to see, hear, read and not miss anything. Thanks Angie, Tom & Jerry... fantastic! ***❤️*❤️ ELVIS ❤️*❤️***

[@lynnalvaro1359]

Lovely. So pleased.Rest easy beautiful man.

[@oneafter9095]

Wow it was a thrill to see some filmed footage of Elvis throwing block...I wished they had actually filmed more football games.

[@ElvisPresleyWorldwide]

You get the sense that Elvis would've excelled at anything he put his mind to. Excellent exhibit and episode.

[@melissarogers7435]

Elvis is a wonderful singer

I am a big Elvis Presley fan, and I remember going to Graceland back in 1995 and I could feel his spirit. I would love to go back to Graceland again someday soon.

[@canizalest]

Just loved every minute - Thanks Yall

[@alicemilling3706]

I just got back from Graceland yesterday it was an awsome time No one was there, amazing exhibits It amazing everything that's been kept

[@saragarratt4397]

For some reason, I've never particularly been a big fan of Jerry before - thanks to this video, I've changed my mind. He seems a decent man. Very interesting as usual.

[@AnneliesRosseel]

I love Jerry 🥺if he goes I will cry

[@SpaGuy]

Well Done.. Great Episode!! Angie the display is Awesome!!

[@Ms.Elvis.]

I love Elvis so much. I fell in love in 1956, I listen to him every day. This week I have been listening to Are You Sincere and Green Green Grass Of Home! By the way Drew Bree's in the best quarter back in my opinion! I won't hold that against Jerry! He seems like a very nice man!

[@chrism.c9965]

I love this exhibit and great having Jerry there reminiscing about time spent with Elvis playing football. You can see Elvis really loved his football 😍

[@josephimelehman7849]

Thank you for sharing facts about Elvis I didn't know about. He was so amazing!!! You find out more and more every day about Elvis and his life. I am a Elvis fan for life. Long live Elvis. I remember hearing that Elvis's Mom didn't like him to play football. She was afraid he was going to get hurt. I can just see Elvis playing football and calling the shots.

[@PennysLifeWithLove]

Jerry seems to be a gentle laid back sweet man. I can see why Elvis loved him .

[@bettykidd6768]

I appreciate the respect he has always shown Elvis in interviews.

[@maritaunosson9631]

Thank you Graceland for sharing It is great to see all this football videos with Elvis

[@sandralybrand859]

My gosh, I don't think there was anything Elvis couldn't do! I really love Jerry! He was really close to Elvis and has some amazing stories! He and cousin Billy Smith are the only ones that tell truth and don't lie about Elvis. He's the one that Elvis trusted when Evis slipped off to Washington to see Nixon! They later called Sonny West, which I think was more for security reasons. Elvis knew Jerry was orphaed at an early age and basically adopted him. Jerry still lives in the house that Elvis bought him. Elvis told him when he gave it to him, that he knew he never had a home and now he did. Jerry was so touched by it and he still has emotion when he tells it.

[@timchen5299]

Brilliant display of Elvis historic treasures ! And more meaningful with Elvis close childhood friend Jerry Schilling Thank you Graceland for sharing this.Love fr Far East Asia.

[@gusbolick9734]

I honestly can see Elvis rubbing elbows with Joe Willie Nammath and I could honestly say The king would've matched Broadway Joe drink for drink and woman for woman.... So glad Elvis wasn't a Dallas Cowboy fan..... would've broken my heart..... Rest in peace sir you were the world's greatest M.V.P.

What an awesome video, I really enjoyed this so much!! I was such a big fan of Joe Namath and the NY Jets growing up in the 70's! Thank you for this great video and display , Tom and Angie and of course Jerry!!! :))

[@jmf2471]

This is so AWESOME!! Would have loved to see Elvis with Broadway Joe, that must have been something. So nice to see Angie give Jerry & Tom the tour. Alan Fortas who played at Vanderbilt and "Bardahl" were frequent football players with Elvis too. I think Shirley Conell saved a paper cup that Elvis threw at her during one of his games in Memphis. She tells of the day Elvis broke his finger playing. Love this channel TCB.

Why not they do with everything else

[@rong805]

@1:00 remaining, I can see the "Elvis is alive" goofballs saying that Jerry gave away his knowledge of knowing Elvis is alive when spoke in present tense by saying "I really want Elvis to see this episode"!

@@SpaGuy Hi Spa Guy, I just went in and listened to this lovely video of the Gates of Graceland, by Tom Brown, and Angie Marchese and of course Elvis' friend Mr. Jerry Schilling whom sounds a lovely man and very quietly spoken I must say. At the end of it I had to rewind it a few times to hear exactly what Jerry was saying about Elvis and quote "I really want Elvis to see this episode and to see this exhibit, he would love it: I maybe hearing things but I don't think I am. I am one of many people who do believe Elvis is alive and well. Hope you are well, too with this awful virus in the world of ours, and hopefully we all can recover from it, in due time. Take care, TCB Always Nerida

Yes but he got them from his books man come on man that he transfered

[@hubbell627]

I had read that Elvis's desire to have high collars was his anxiety that he had an unusually long neck that he was self-conscious about, yes? No?

[@leonolanofficial4581]

Well there was a video i watched recently with angie on australian news and she was telling the reporters that rumour but i think it was just style

[@rong805]

@@sue7011I've heard and read many many different times Elvis was very conscious of his neck, plus I can't remember a comic book hero that wore a high collar so I tend to think it was both that as well as the the style aspect. As far as the capes, yes, he loved comic book heroes. Evel Kneivel got his inspiration for wearing a cape from Elvis.

[@jrc8640]

I heard that it was his parents who teased him about his neck n then he became paranoid hence the high collars

[@hubbell627]

@@jrc8640 Yah, thats what I read too. Thanks.

Hi ! What is sure is that Elvis continued to wear high collars untill is death , as the very last years , after his body , and his neck , has changed . Friendly Greetings !
