The Tuck Rule Game | Julian Edelman & Scott Pioli on the "Snow Bowl" & Untold Patriots Stories

[@gameswithnames]

Is this a top 5 Patriots game of all-time? ⬇

Rich Gannon is Today’s ~ (Matt Stafford) when he played for the Lions 🦁. Or ~ Even Today’s (Kirk Cousin’s).

[@rickbrust7928]

This is the beginning of it all. I watched this game in North Reading and the delivery guy stayed and watched with us. The weather was rough but I'll never forget where I was when Vini hit that kick

[@nicholasfoley757]

Yes it is, I watched it in providence Rhode Island during the blizzard. The magic was in the air like so many flakes of falling snow

[@ScottyGross]

I was at the game as a kid and it was electric. There was no sitting allowed during the game.

[@Ryanc267]

Oh yea... But not even the best game of that season!

[@ThatUmbrellaGuy]

Edelman has become my favorite football interviewer. Let's guests speak, great interaction, fun and insightful interviews. Love it.

Jack and Kyler are great too, they ask some great questions, its a nice setup they've got with edelman

[@liamennis4516]

No clue why this doesn’t get more views right away, these videos are some of the greatest interviews and recounts of sports history.

Scott is so down to earth... these guys who we as fans never got to really know.... WOW now you see why they won.... they literally just out worked everyone.. from the scouting.. to the coaching.. to the attention to every single detail.. win with less.... they really did the ultimate T E A M

[@C_MP_LENT88]

I totally agree. Same with Josh McDaniels, I thought anyways

[@agentorange3774]

Sometimes we forget that these guys are just people like us. Gets lost in the anonymity. Scott reminds me of a couple dudes I know and I suspect a lot of other people know at least one Scott irl.

Came back to rewatch, absolutely phenomenal episode. Scott is so so kind and genuine and just loves ball. Thanks for another great episode!

[@parrydox.gaming]

I still remember watching the snow bowl game with my dad while it was snowing like a bastard outside in RI. When we won he ran outside onto the back deck and was screaming with joy as loud as he could like a little kid hahaha. Good times.

[@cucue16]

Instant Classic Episode. The amount of Knowledge and Stories this man has is simply astonishing!!! We need another Scott Pioli episode. @GamesWithNames we need Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis, Greg Olsen, Matt Khalil, Steve Smith or Coach Ron Rivera on the show ASAP!!!! #KeepPounding

[@kylerschelling]

Just recorded an episode with one of those dudes. You’ll have to wait and see which one! 👀

[@gregfaircloth6440]

As a year round Nantucket islander and Pats fan I share much love and respect for Pioli and family, truly an all time classic game experience the snow bowl

[@trackhoodie1741]

Best episode so far. I loved seeing how two people with connections to the same organization from two different time periods can connect in so many things. I can't count the amount of time pioli went on an excited parallel tangent. They got a lot more to talk about. Looking forward to seeing him back again

[@Thaddeus_Howe]

Scott's energy is fantastic! Love how respectful and appreciative he is of all three of these guys

[@duussttin]

Loved Scott!!!! As a Packer fan, never really dug into any Patriots stuff, but between Josh, Ernie and now Scott, really really loving the just the pure conversations that have been on lately. Well done boys.

[@WrathMania32]

It's pretty cool that two integral figures of the dynasty, who were from the different eras and entirely different roles, have great chemistry and can give us this much content for 3 hours. Wonderful stuff.

[@daviddevine8827]

Its always a great watch but have to say as a Pats fan since the mid-80s. These shows with these Patriot staffers/coaches like Adams, Pioli, Mcdaniel and O'Brian are amazing.

[@ColinR92]

Besides the SuperBowls, this has to be the top game in Patriots history. This interview and Ernie’s have been the best I’ve seen so far🫡

[@donnajohnson9834]

This is too good to watch on my iPad - gonna wait and send it to my TV - one of the most meaningful games I’ve ever watched, and it changed Patriot Nation forever! How great to have Scott Pioli on for this one. Geez, I miss those guys - and those days….

[@Als-lb5kb]

Great show need to have him back or maybe him and ernie together for 1 game. Never a pats fan but love the pod and way it's done

[@brianm27]

this was in fact a instant classic, what an epi. Scott is a legend! Shoutout to the team, this series is so great!

A 3 hour juggernaut by Edelnut! Btw just to give feedback, the outros of these podcasts are literally some of my favorite parts. I could listen to a 5 hour podcast of just you three bs-ing, going over previous episodes and talking

Maybe the best one yet. 100% bring back the browns legends. Scott could do three more.

[@Logan-js2uk]

These episodes reaffirm my love for football a thousand times over😂 Scott was so good in this. Three hours, baby! When Jules was talking about how demoralizing 6 minute scoring drives are for a defense in a low scoring game, when the offense converts multiple 3rd downs👌🏻Every football fan, player and coach has been on the wrong end of those. Those are the unspoken insights that win a game like The Snow Bowl.

[@wishingb5859]

Wow, this ended up being one of the best episodes ever. Great interview!

[@Roundwave23]

Julian! 8:12 This is your time! Make a brand of nuts, edible nuts-- Edelnuts!

[@LorraineHinchliffe-vg5cb]

Chuck Noll the Steelers HC, was saying "just do your job" back in the 70s, and Vince Lombardi was, back in the 60s. In my very humble opinion, it was a fumble, and the fact that the "tuck rule" was scrapped completely, just says it all. Great game indeed!

[@j.mig22]

Can we get Pioli on once a week, month, or quarter? This is a dream episode in my opinion. Great pod boys!!

[@chimericalical]

I now understand why I get this specific feeling sometimes around later summer, late fall, and early spring, then late spring to late summer a different feeling. I played 6 sports in high school. Later summer reminds me of football and football conditioning. Early fall reminds me of week 1, late fall reminds me of the end of football and football and the start of basketball and wrestling. Late winter/early spring is the end of football and basketball and the start of track and tennis. Then late spring is time to relax and go skateboarding and skating and chill… until later summer comes again and you get in such a rhythm you wouldn’t even need to be told when football and football conditioning starts you kinda just show up anyway for day 1 at that. Then after graduation I was too busy with school to play sports and while I was varsity and all I wasn’t exactly pursuing a career in sport nor college sports, but I still get that feeling off of just 4 years of that. I can only imagine how ingrained that must be after 13 + 4 + 4… 21 years of that.

[@SO-5679]

The 2 behind the scene guys crack me up. Just a couple of complete non athletes that love football. That santa claus style beard is what I think of as a patriot fan lol

[@PatriotsVideos]

For fun look up Belichick's record in the Playoffs against Jerry Rice, either as Giants DC or Pats HC. I think he's 4-0 holding Rice's teams to like under 10 ppg or something crazy. I remember during these playoffs, Ty Law said Belichick asked the CBs "Can you cover a 15 yard area (basically where a slant would go)?" And Ty is like "Yeah." And Bill said "Then we can stop them." Bill was not overwhelmed by the West Coast offense.

[@buzzkillington3840]

Great show with great people. I love it! Keep up the good work fellas.

[@Taquito_Rat]

This game means so much to me! I was 3 years old when this game was played. I had a large portuguese family in the Bay Area. There was a giant party for the game at my grandpas. They had two money pots for the game. One for Raiders fans and one or Patriots fans. If the raiders won, you picked from that pot, and vice versa. My dad bet on the raiders and put down a bet in my name on the patriots. Everyone thought the raiders would win. There were only 3 names in the Patriots pot. When the Patriots won, my bet was picked from the patriots' pot. My dad threw me up in the air so high. I just "won" 500 dollars. He bought me some Patriots stuff with the money. It started a lifelong obsession with the Patriots. No team makes me emotional, other than the Pats.

[@MrAlanlost]

Great memory! Love it!

I was in the stands that day. That snow was HEAVY. When Vinatieri kicked the tying field goal, you instantly lost the ball in the snow, and just had to wait for the refs to make the call. It was such an amazing experience.

This is why I will never fully say sports are rigged, i will say at times outside forces try to influence the outcome but at end of the day.. you still have to go out and perform, you still have to endure the hits, the study time, the prep, the amount of time spent watching flim.. there so much that goes into sports plus but not lastly the raw emotions of sports.. you can fake genuine human reactions.. I loved this episode and sports in general.. this may been the exact push I needed to get into coaching

The memories that pro athletes and coaches, managers, GM's etc... of pro athletes have, is insane. I honestly can't remember what I had to eat last Monday, and they can remember single plays that happened 10-15 years ago. And I honestly believe it, cuz you hear similar stories from pro athletes of the NFL, NHL, NBA & MLB, It's crazy

[@jimandruchow9650]

I watched this game on an aircraft carrier (CVN-71) after my reactor operator watch on a Saturday night while we were bombing the Taliban from the Indian Ocean. I had a bet on the game with Gonzo, a friend from LA. Earlier, some of his buddies were sneaking alcohol shots since Sunday was not a "work day" and they could sleep in. While watching the game, I was getting louder and louder (I'm from RI) over the dramatic twists and turns. While this was happening, one of the friends who was drinking had an accident and smashed his eye chasing another sailor into his top rack. He needed medical treatment, where they witnessed how drunk he was. My berthing was ordered to report to the hangar bay to submit to a breathalyzer test. I was literally dragged out of berthing as I saw Vinatieri's kick go through the uprights for the win. I got here and gave Gonzo a victorious fist and he knew he'd be paying for my drinks next port. You can take all the outrageous surroundings I had for this and it still may be my favorite game of all time!

I absolutely loved this episode. I appreciate Scott Pioli and what he did for the Patriots while he was there. This was nostalgic. I wouldn't mind seeing Michael Lombardi on here (his SF under Walsh, his OAK under Davis, and his CLE/NE under BB days would be absolutely epic, and what game would he pick?) How about Gene Steratore? A Referee perspective...think about the conversation there...or about the state of referee while he was refereeing, current and future. Someone who I would love to see on here would be awesome is Amy Trask. She must have a totally different game in mind...and the Al Davis stories...c'mon. Love this podcast so much. You guys are killing it!
