How Chris Mathews Went From Working at FOOT LOCKER to Almost Winning Super Bowl MVP!

[@Jacob-hy7do]

It's crazy to think that the two players that made the biggest plays in super bowl 49, Mathews and Butler, were working at Footlocker and Popeyes the year before.

[@LilAlex4hunnid]

Jacob does flem have a video on Butler?? If not that would be dope!

[@isaacdeford1510]

Jermaine Kearses play was probably bigger (in the Super Bowl) Chris did deserve the mvp more though the only reason I think kearse had the bigger play is because how clutch it set them up

[@TheHuskyK9]

And now this past Super Bowl, they kept Butler on the bench the entire game

[@rg.1798]

Hard work always beats out talent

[@LowkAlexander]

And now they’re both (almost) out of the league

[@jordanho3523]

Do a story on Adam thielen

[@LilAlex4hunnid]

Jordan Ho YESSSSSS

[@ImaJackedBeast101]

CM had that 95ovr limited time card in madden 15, dude was a god hahaha

[@onthaticeburgess109]

83 ovr SB card in mut 18

[@southtext3400]

Now he just won the Grey Cup in the CFL with the Calgary Stanpeders. Amazing how things work out.

[@PurposefulRecreation]

I played with Chris at LA Harbor College, his catch at 3:33 of this video was the most amazing catch I have ever seen in person. The video does not do it justice, the guy did a 360 1 handed catch between 2 people . Amazing to see him go from playing JUCO ball at that field in San Jacinto, CA to the Super Bowl. Guy was humble as well always rooted for the guy.

[@antoniomann2020]

Can you do a video on what happened to Chris Davis (the guy that ran back the missed field goal in the auburn Alabama game)

[@awesomecool2003]

B Lou Getting head yesssss

[@jonathananderson198]

Yesss

[@nickolas4883]

YEAH

[@drewgamezzz8482]

Probably my favorite memory from college football in the last ten years ha-ha. Even though I'm a Southern Miss fan, I'm just not an Alabama fan and the way that game ended was so epic man. The look on people's faces when they realized Auburn got em again ha-ha.

[@kobepeters6715]

He already did it

[@stevenhenry75]

Just wanted to say thank you. As an ex professional football player that knows the heartache of trying to reach your dream and losing it, I find these videos therapeutic. Watching you break down other guys stories does two things for me. It helps me see that I am not alone in the struggle I went through, and that it is normal for many of us to not know where to go or what to do after being chewed up and spit out. We work our whole lives to reach the dream, and even though many of us are just as good or better than guys on nfl rosters, we often dont make it. There is just so much beyond our control. But for us since our whole lives were invested in football, when its over, it takes years to figure out who am I and what do I want to do with my life. And for a 25-27 year old man your at a huge set back, because most people by that age already figured it out, have there masters - professional degrees or a very defined route and career plan. Hell often times we dont even know where to start. And then on top of that its painful, when you have no skills, and all you can can do is work a bullshit job like security(which Ive done) or flip burgers, when just a few years ago whole stadiums cheered and yelled your name as you dominated on the field. So thank you bro! When Im watching these videos it actually helps with the heartache even after all these years by seeing these stories. There are a lot of us out there that still feel the fall out of our failure.

[@kaylonreese5810]

Yea Chris Mathews got my respect ✊🏾. I never knew he went thru that. That’s a amazing mindset to never give up!

[@cameronrust6677]

Flem, congratulated you on 60k a short while ago. The content continues to impress and i love to see the progression of the quality when you simply could become content with what got you here. I look forward to congratulating you for getting 500k one day bro. Awesome work.

[@swetiyeti7991]

love the picture of chris being interviewed by jermaine kearse who also had to fight his way from the practice squad.

[@Mayo_Mane]

Love the videos. One note: Chris Matthews had 900+ yards in 2010 at Kentucky with 9 tds. More tds than Cobb had. Not sure why he wasn't drafted! Also, thought it was interesting that his one catch in preseason with Cleveland was a TD and it was from Jarrett Brown.

[@hofgaming4277]

Flem with the Burberry headband i see you

[@j.rgokrazy3629]

I think it's a scarf but he but it around his head

[@Okbroski]

I played madden w Chris Mathews

[@connortully6408]

That's really cool drew

[@Okbroski]

Connor Tully thanks tubly bubbly

[@kobebryant6400]

Congratu-fucking-lations

[@taco2728]

You ever ask him was he depressed about SB lol sadly bro.! isnnrsu ydydydyd

[@Okbroski]

@@taco2728 our convo was basically “hey wanna play madden” “sure” he joined my game and left half way through which took place before the sb. I talked to him more recently and we chatted about that sb but he didn’t stick around and was obviously weirded out that I had his personal gt

[@danielcongrove3319]

These are the stories America is MADE OF!! This is what makes our country the best!!! I loved this story. Except the play call that made the interception. Good video Flem mo. I did not know this one!!

[@masonpacholl7253]

im imagining the cfl due who called him watchin the SB

[@jarvisjuicelandry3818]

S T A T I C s h o c k Ik this is late but are u talking about Doug Flutie

[@MitchismeHeehee]

Mike O'shea was the one who called him and Matthews is now playing for O'Shea again on the bombers

[@BevanTheDon91]

thanks FlemLo for telling this story to give ppl like me just looking for a opportunity a glimmer of hope that just like you said if you stay ready you ain't gotta get ready and to never give up hope! your great bruh!

[@Coolgiy67]

For y’all wondering he plays in the cfl now

[@fatmanjonestv7143]

Rad Raad I was literally just wondering hah thanks

[@TarmaanProductions]

He plays in Montreal right

[@gregorymoore1748]

Wow Chris is a beast! Flemlo your work is always excellent. I believe you deserve a segment on one of the major sports networks.

[@hootsmccoy1450]

What a story teller!! You rock flemlo

[@coryrikard8943]

Flem, I have to let you know, I really enjoy your videos. Not just for the content, but how you come at them from a human perspective. You don't bash, nor shy away from the issues each player faces, but you do so in a very relatable way. Much appreciation, and keep up the great work. Subscribed.

[@TheTEN24]

Damn dude, crazy story. Can’t believe he never played much after that. I remember seeing him that day and thinking who is this guy, he straight balled out.

[@Adiggs22]

What happened to Mike Williams former USC wideout. Thought he was doing good with his 2nd or third chance in the nfl.

[@4dhumaninstrumentality789]

Alex Diggs By the time he finally made it back he was out of his athletic prime. Weight issues always plagued him as well. Kind of like Kelvin Benjamin.

[@StuddedsBurner]

That man was on a mission that game

[@jarredconnorg2980]

He was a beast in the CFL up here in Canada. Go Eskimos!

[@patsfans2705]

Great story. Much respect to him. Go after ya dream and never give up.

[@Orioles1019]

Crazy thing is, I remember him in the SB. And I'm a Ravens fan who pays attention to every aspect of our roster. Or so I thought. I never put 2 and 2 together and realized it's THAT Chris Mathews. But I do remember his radio interview from Jimmys Seafood after his first TD, he sounded so happy. Couldn't even see his face and you could just tell how proud he was. I thought that was the start of something for him. But, it wasn't.

[@joem1382]

Even though Ray J didn't hit it first, he still won.

[@dpolanco96]

Joe M he did tho lol

[@kdub3892]

Haha. But I think flemlo prefaced his comment by "athletic" competition.

[@joem1382]

Guys were running to get to that pussy. It was a track meet

[@leanonlean8561]

Joe M naw that shit a buffet

[@j.rgokrazy3629]

Noti gang my bad flem I'm a lil bit late had to wash the dishes lol😂😂

[@Blafard666]

I really enjoyed that one, there is a life lesson behind it, good work sir !

[@boybjones8903]

flemlo. love your videos. so much knowledge energy and positivity. you are king1111

[@skkahl3400]

I'm a Seahawks fan and I love this story. Of course, I had to sit through that interception twice more . . . But thank you for sharing this story.

[@zackmanerd7770]

Bro i showed one of my homies and were both hooked keep up the work man

[@CEOdawg]

Great video, as always. I love your approach to your videos. KEEP IT UP!!!

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

He goes from cfl rookie of the year to working at the mall to playing in super bowl 49. Crazy.

[@flame9xyt742]

Played for winnipeg my home toen in the cfl and he was so good i remeber like crying after he left cuz he was such a beast

[@riverwildcat1]

This is where you really excel, bro. The unknown heroes and dedicated soldiers of life outnumber 10 to 1 the fortunate few who get all the attention. I see you as one of those as yet undiscovered talents. We must always maintain faith in ourselves.

[@dylanrogers2085]

Finally someone made a video on him!!

[@JacaboBlanco]

If the Browns cut ya, somebody sign this man he's a gem! Lmao Great story. This is why I love sports!

[@greenmean230]

Thanks for making this video man, I hadn’t heard about this guy before this video.

[@daltonharrison5333]

I 100% forgot he played at Kentucky

[@mikesg878]

I remember meeting Chris when he played in the CFL, he really was a stud in his rookie year

[@fritz709]

Crazy story. Much respect to that man

[@oliversaxon6103]

THIS CHANNEL DA GOAT

[@gerardodominguez5755]

I love your channel flem! Been with you since 2015 you should get into football recruiting!! And I'd love to stop going to other channels for top 10 lists of football things. And keep the dynasty going !!

[@jxsh9853]

Your awesome huge inspiration to me because I love football stories just as much as you thank you man!

[@antoineb9371]

So much power in resilience!

[@nocapnolie2904]

Love all of your videos....... damn I love this channel....... such a great channel..... plz keep doing videos🙏🏾

[@roberttaylor1594]

Had to watch this one twice in a row. Great story👍

[@100kDavidTV]

I rember him during the supper bowl he was really good

[@stefansailor1612]

Awesome bro. Great job! I was so upset that my Seahawks didn't resign this dude.

[@lucasborja3797]

Do a what happened to Ryan Mathews, the dude was a solid starter, and a pro bowler for the Chargers but after this season we never saw him again, he didn't retire as well 😐

[@austintaylor8489]

Lucas Borja he has bones made of glass

[@mikecraig2062]

Lucas Borja injuries. Whole reason Eagles cut him in camp

[@BrokeMalone]

Shadow Scale it's crazy how if any of y'all were a running back in the NFL u wouldn't make it thru 1 snap without breaking or tearing something

[@bunghole47]

Broke Malone nobody said that they could do what he did... if you were in the nfl you’d get hurt too. The NFL is for supreme athletes not keyboard warriors like you

[@ScoutMasterDruncle]

Didn't know he came to Canada and played for my cities team... damn..

[@breakingamer3550]

KTO brought me here, I've watched more than twenty videos. Keep up the good work!.

[@christyan12cr]

Can you do one about Michael Sam...I wonder what ever happen to him?

[@zzztemptation6739]

Christyan Rodriguez I'm a family friend he's just a role model type of guy he goes and speaks and you know clubs and shit

[@jasonsolt]

He died of aids

[@dylanrogers2085]

trump is daddy 😂😂

[@Zeenithian]

Engraved Axe Eh. He was questionable from the get go due to the fact he was picked up by the rams. That defense was absolutely stacked at D-line at the time.

[@demonNthesn0w]

Josh Boyce your all talk behind that screen

[@derekjordan1847]

Kellen Moore, dude could ball throughout high school and College. Multiple state records in high school and multiple NCAA records to his name. Was nearly unbeatable. Undersized QB with an under appreciated amount of talent. Smartest QB I’ve ever played against

[@pacodiez123]

Thanks flemlo this was a gem video

[@Tinytorres0606]

Make a video about Logan Thomas, and how he went from #1 tight end prospect, to Virginia tech Quarterback and one of the most terrifying players to play against, to unwanted quarterback in the NFL, and then back to tight end. I get the feeling that taking all of the opportunities when they arise for you without looking back.

[@nastyc85]

I am super happy for your success. You deserve those 121 subs and more.

[@yenlee711]

Happy early 30th birthday. Keep doing what you do love the content

[@brandont4092]

He had some great moments at Kentucky! Never expected he would be the super bowl crazy! #BBN

[@devmanboy8316]

The crazy thing is Malcolm Butlers situation was the same and when he made the big pick in the super bowl the pats made a purpose to improve him to be the starter and lockdown corner for them and it was just one play. While Chris practically was the only shine of hope for the Seahawks that game. And they just cut him. They only thing I can’t take from that is that Bill Belicheck sees the higher power in who ever

[@drewgamezzz8482]

This was an awesome video, I always love how you can continuously pull me in every single video, even if idk the person you're talking about, you always keep me interested! Idk if I've ever saw you do a video on Southern Miss and Korey Robertson and Ito Smith are both amazing players and have showed out the past few years. And maybe do a what happened to Deandre Brown, he was the #1 player in Mississippi who ended up going to USM and showed out his freshman year, broke his leg in bowl game, comes back still just as fast, he was 6'6 220 or so and fast as hell. I'm not gonna say everything though figured may let you do some research maybe lol. Either way I love your videos and didn't realize I typed a novel ha-ha. And maybe one other player from southern miss who is in the NFL and has went back and forth, Austin Davis, an amazing college QB who broke most or all of Brett Favres records at USM! Please do a Southern Miss video, I'm begging you ha-ha!!!!!!!

[@airbornehunter]

Do a video on The Gipper. Tell us something we don't know! Love your content. It's a good escape. Brings me back to football which I've just about given up on... True fact.

[@steveyarnell2.o]

Good video thanks for sharing that. Chris is playing for Montréal now. I with him luck.

[@drewgamezzz8482]

What happened to Jaime Collins, safety, linebacker, and defensive end from Southern Miss, who I believe was drafted by the Patriots. He started his career as safety and just got bigger and moved positions. Was freaking unstoppable, made Case Keenum look stupid a few times in the conference championship game his junior year ha-ha, literally slung him around.

[@ge_mrs]

Drew perry he got traded to the browns I believe

[@drewgamezzz8482]

You know if he still in the league? Dude was a beast in college for sure. I remember the one Patriots game I watched he jumped over the line and blocked a kick lol.

[@3KMusicProductions]

Drew perry he plays for the Browns he had an injury and was out for the last part of year

[@tony.saavedra]

He is a beast for the browns rn

[@andred5950]

I f*** love these stories bro!!!!

[@earlridleniv5110]

[@doranvee5944]

YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO INTERESTING. I AM IMPRESSED WITH YOUR WAY OF TELLING THE STORY. I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A LARGER PLATFORM, LIKE TELEVISION. BUT YOU DO GREAT WORK HERE TOO!

[@terrytates3848]

What an unbelievable story, sucks he never got an actual chance in the NFL before that seahawk season because to ball out in a game that big making those kinds of catches under that pressure that you gotta be a stud.

[@callmelyn73]

I wish things had gone better for him. I’m a 12 and I loved watching him play. I wish he had won MVP.

[@jaymanfrnk]

He also helped us in the nfc championship on that onside kick

[@jonathanmuamba3514]

Great video, keep up the good work and be blessed!!

[@yungterv198]

Okay okay I know this story is about Chris, but can my fellow dbs appreciate that tackle at 10:11 to keep him from a first down

[@kingrobert1813]

Do what happened to chris johnson

[@gabrieledward7784]

After that 4th catch the pats switched Browner on him, he locked his ass

[@seanmcguire9086]

Makes you wonder how many Chris Matthews are out there. I been many more than any of us imagine.

[@Samjarellano]

[@unknowntemptation4423]

I’m a seahawks fan and this hurts to see the interception over and over again

[@fatmanjonestv7143]

Do what happened to Ronnie Hillman, Bishop Sankey, Lache Seastrunk and Lee Evans.

[@bunghole47]

lxmalcolm Bishop Sankey is the 3rd rb for the vikings

[@vante99]

What happened to Stafon Johnson ? The usc running back that got injured during a weight lifting session

[@donnywilliamson5807]

Just saw the movie Molly's Game. Made me think you should do a video on her brother Jeremy Bloom. He has an interesting story as a WR/KR/PR at Colorado, also a mogul skier
