NFL Films: High Stakes Heroes (1989)

[Music] foreign [Applause] welcome to high stakes heroes i'm steve sable and we're going to profile a unique group of men each different in his own way but all united by a rare talent the gift of being able to deliver when there's something really important at stake when it means the most and of course i'm talking about playoff and championship competition when the stakes are truly highest and you know more often than not the post season belongs to the truly great players and we begin with two men who certainly deserve that adjective men who entered the nfl oddly enough in the same season 1972 and left over a decade later as two of the best ever to play their positions but it was really in the playoffs that the steelers franco harris and the raiders cliff branch raised their play to yet a higher level branch is the nfl's all-time leader in post-season receptions while harris ranks as the number one rusher in playoff history harrison branch two high-profile high-stakes heroes franco uh really showed us that we could win because before franco we did not win in 39 seasons the pittsburgh steelers had never made the playoffs then came franco harris then came a dynasty when i reached the steelers i had this drive in me that i wanted us to be number one and the steelers as you know when i came there were at the bottom of bottom of the pile that has burned his eye on me that i wanted to be number one one of these years franco's unique brand of determination inspired him not to bowl into defenders but to seek holes lesser runners never saw and the fury he expressed in the open field carried the steelers to the playoffs in each of his first eight seasons at the line of scrimmage franco made elusiveness look elegant but he often evaded unnecessary punishment at the play's end by running out of bounds a style that offended those who would confuse bravado with bravery i didn't mind being hit but if i can avoid it i'm going to avoid it okay so as far as taking blows i mean that wasn't the problem uh the thing was to play smart shrewd not cautious franco was like a master gambler who'd never risked more than he stood to gain and always turned up in the right place at the right time and like a master gamesman franco was at his best when the stakes were highest in the steelers very first playoff contest he turned in the most famous play in football history the immaculate reception and set one of the sports absolutely unbelievable [Applause] in the big game there was no one better than franco no one i mean he just i mean he lived for them franco would pace furiously i mean he would he'd be in the locker room it's like he's like a boxer almost he was like he was in there he just go back and forth his body would start twitching and he wouldn't say a whole lot he'd be walking back and forth and he'd get this real determined pace and pace would turn into a stride he'd go back and forth and he walked by you he just looked at you his eyes would just open up he just look at you you go do it today right let's go get him swanny come on play great play great but then he keep going that's all and he getting that ball game and he'd do it in the first of pittsburgh's unprecedented four super bowl championships franco harris carried the ball more times for more yards than he ever had before setting super bowl records with 34 attempts and 158 yards he was named the game's most valuable player as he scored the first of his record four career super bowl touchdowns in pittsburgh's three remaining championship drives franco became the all all-time post-season touchdown maker and rusher as well as the career record holder in every major rushing category in super bowl history a kid on christmas morning franco approached super sunday with a fervor that comes only once a year what makes things special is every day the same as every day christmas is every day easter no no it's not so when someone tells me that the middle of the season regular season game is the same with the championship game not to me it isn't he had durability and he had raw ability but it was his big game capability that made franco harris a high-stakes hero i know it talked about the big bad raiders and here we had a hide we had a parade cliff branch out there was 155 pounds he was so skinny his back pockets would fight when he'd walk but cliff branch's motto was run don't walk he was an undernourished and undisciplined receiver when he joined the raiders in 1972 but his olympic caliber speed turned uphill battles into downhill races and for 14 glorious seasons branch ran through stop signs and ignored speed limits cliff branch was the ultimate threat for the raiders because we threw the deep ball he would stretch the defense those guys were just afraid that he'd blow by him and ultimately he would blow by him i mean he was the ultimate deep threat in the game of football well i think it put a lot of fear in a defensive back because of the fact that you you closed the cushion so much and when they said the bomb was back in oakland it was taught by one player and it was talking about clifford branch cliff branch believed that he could beat anyone deep on any play cliff would always come back and he'd tell me coach i can beat him deep and he'd tell kenny stabler he said snake i can beat him deep and sometimes he would say it while they're playing the national anthem you know i mean he would said so somewhere i haven't even played yet how do you know you can beat the guy deep branch has always been perceived strictly as a speed machine rev him up and he ran away from defenders but he worked hard to become a total receiver combining his gift of speed with the gift of grab branch gave the same lessons to all pro defensive backs that he learned from hall of fame defensive backs we get flipping practice and yes try to beat him down i mean really go at them so when it came to game time it was pretty easy for cliff because he had gone against the best you can control your speed by just concentrating real hard on running your routes because the defensive back is going to fear you because of your great speed but i think the reason i was able to control my speed is because i learned to run precision routes branch was uncanny in the clutch and part of the seas of defense remaining the only man afloat cliff was a classic example of al davis definition of a great player great players are the players who make big plays in big games cliff is a vivacious effervescent kind of guy who lit up in big games it just laughed and loved it and got excited about it and pranced the saints jumped out on us real early and the coach had benchman important game and we were falling behind and and i was just waiting and waiting impatiently to get in the game and most florida cindy in the game and got two or three scores quickly and then turn the game around for us we're back under heavy rush gets to branch to 42 gets away dancing to the 50 to the 40. [Music] he was the guy who when the game was on the line when you could break the game that's when he made the big plays taylor back he's going to pass looking one way come back to the right throws to france on the two scrambles that kepler calling scrapping touchdown raiders what an incredible story [Music] he was a money man poor season time came it was time to go to work it's money we used to always say hey they got the hands in our pockets we tried to take money on them we got to go get it crackers plunkett time to throw deep to the end zone to branch it is caught by branch touchdown raiders [Music] the littlest raider became the biggest player on the field in championship games his feats were indelibly etched in silver and black then forever sealed in black and white he is the all-time leader in the national football league in catches and yardage in post-season games he has 73 catches 1289 yards in post-season games as branch and harris demonstrated prime time players always seem to be pivotal characters in the postseason plot yet the history of pro football is full of the unexpected when fringe players grabbed a piece of the spotlight if only for a moment but that one moment was enough to earn a lasting place in the game's storied past men like max mcgee chuck mercine and jim o'brien have become football immortals players whose entire career is defined by one game one drive one kick they're the unlikeliest of high-stakes heroes but no one team came to symbolize the unlikely the unbelievable more than joe namath's new york jets in super bowl three and to this day this bold brash quarterback remains the essence of high-stakes heroism when the underdog new york jets upset the colts in super bowl iii the big apple went bananas it's my honor to open today's welcoming ceremonies for our conquering team on behalf of the greatest city in the world to pay tribute to the greatest football team in the world the new york times they were kings of the bright lights and the big city but they were also a team with as much grit as there was glitter the 1968 jets were a finely crafted mixture of warriors wizards and wonder boys all blended masterfully by the funny-looking coach with the funny name of weed eubank we've had a great memory you know if he'd ever seen a kid play he remembered him and if somebody ever beat him or ever calls him a lot of anguish as far as scoring points or defended against him he always remembered those things when a guy got put on waivers we knew where to go get ball players and that was one thing coach eubank did he went out and got some players that had some experience and he taught him his philosophy and that's one thing that coach did do also he kept it down his philosophy was simple it was basic football there were no frills with the jets defense just a sturdy collection of excellent football players who did their jobs better than anyone else we all worked together and we all patted one another on the back instead of ourselves after the game as a defense you know we were number one defensive team in the afl for years and we didn't get enough credit for that defensively when you wanted to throw the football owners not very many teams were very successful we had a knack of taking away the best receiver whoever was the best receiver on the team we just took him out of the ball game and that's the way we approached any team we picked out the best receiver by looking at films and we just took him out of the game [Music] bruising fullback matt snell number 41 took out his share of opponents with steamrolling runs and jarring blocks for backfield buddy emerson boozer what they were missing in the years prior to 66 my arrival was the back that could break the big one uh mathis was uh a good excellent blocker uh could hit the hole well but didn't have the breakaway speed uh snell being a big powerful fullback didn't have it either i gave them that missing link the breakaway and that completed our backfield we could run as well as throw a football behind one of the game's most underrated offensive lines jet backs were dangerous on the ground or in the air but the most proficient pass catchers came from new york's explosive receiving corps there's nobody could stop the pass and attack the jets borrow anybody if we got in a little bit of a bind i would go to the slot sauer be on the left bake turner on the right and nobody could stop our wide receiver offense i'm proud to say that we ran stuff 20 years ago that they don't even run today with don maynard and george sauer number 83 the new york jets possessed the greatest pair of wideouts in the afl and their flamboyant quarterback was certainly the most celebrated passer in all of football [Music] a lot of people said he was a playboy but joe was a student of the game when we would go in and get our game plan together joe probably knew about as much as uh from watching the film because some of our offensive coaches did you know i didn't always play good games they played a lot of bad games they had bad plays and i did say in the past and i met i was not always good but i was never boring or dull and i mean that because i would never quit i don't think i played football with anybody that ever quit the jets did everything but quit in the afl championship game against the oakland raiders in a seesaw affair that proved much tougher than their super bowl battle with baltimore new york won the title by coming from behind in the second half maynard had come to joe and said joe whenever you want it i can beat my guy deep so we hadn't needed it for a while and then all at once bingo we're behind and joe he gets down in there he remembers what maynard had said and maynard made a great play namath dropping back to pass he is looking he's going to throw along for don maynard [Music] with time running out namath drilled the winning score to maynard and the jets were on their way to super bowl three the afl's inferior image and the awesome record of the colts made the jets 17 point underdogs but in reality new york was a balanced well-coached team that is more respected today than they were at the time of their greatest triumph on a handoff [Applause] [Music] this morning i'm told cyprus semiconductor cypr the crash insider training and a volatile bull and bear market has made wall street a world news hotbed at the center of this firestorm is stock trader chuck marcin a man used to coming through in emergencies ryan stakes were a buyer of 15 to 25 000 even in his terrible market as a rookie in 1965 mercedes joined a group of giant runners ironically called the baby bulls like all the bulls number 29 did not possess subtle skills he charged straight ahead not exactly cutting but swerving often resembling a car stuck in the mud but he proved tough and resourceful and he led the giants in rushing in 1966 he made many fans in new york unfortunately one of them was not his head coach ali sherman you know without being bitter we didn't exactly hit it off i really didn't relate to him very well he displayed if not just pleasure skepticism about me because i was an ivy league graduate and the first real high round pick out of yale or anywhere else in the league i wasn't the in the mold auburn texas notre dame back often he was an afterthought the last resort in the giant game plan underused and unwanted mercene was traded in 1967 he went from a team that strung together lackluster seasons into necklaces to one that was the crown jewel of pro football of course with his eastern background he loved the whole thought of lombardi and the green bay packers he came in vince brought him in in the middle of the year he learned the offense overnight very intelligent player very intelligent guy very bright guy in the drive to a title mercene number 30 found out big plays were expected bad ones not tolerated i remember i made a mistake along with 10 other players on the field against the rams we had a punch blocked that i was on the punt team i picked up the wrong guy he caught me in the tub the next day after we got back well i wanted to drown because there was nowhere to go i'm surrounded by this tub and he's standing about six inches in front of my face screaming at me you didn't block anybody you blocked nobody what are you doing out there so you knew when he was angry and everyone around you knew it and it was embarrassing humiliating but you didn't want to make that mistake again if you didn't have character you wouldn't be in green bay so machine came there with abundance of character no game was more character building than the 1967 nfl championship a chilling championship that featured 26 all pros and six hall of famers but during this roll call of heroes the call to glory sounded for chuck marcin chuck stepped in in that ice bowl game and made two or three big big plays on our last drive down the field people said he wasn't a very good athlete well he was a good enough athlete to catch the ball and run it up the field and keep his feet on an ice flow of a football field where the graceful became graceless mercene became a mountain goat he carried the packers within sight of their third nfl title but here their attack bogged down and with 16 seconds remaining green bay took its final timeout timeout is called bart goes aside and talked to coach lombardi and i knew what the play was going to be it was going to be 30 wedge now 30 wedge is the three back which is my designation as a fullback running to the zero hole but 30 wedge was not the call to glory for chuck mercine one thing he didn't tell me was that he wasn't going to give me the ball he decided to keep the ball on his own here are the backers third down inches to go to bater 17-14 cowboys out in front packers trying for the go-ahead score star begins the count takes the snap i was very surprised after i did get good footing take off felt i was going to score to see bart not turn around but carried himself in that's why i come in after the play actually looking like i'm signaling touchdown but i'm not i'm just trying to show the referee i'm not assisting on the play which happens to be a penalty as bad as that might have been on one of the most glorious and dramatic drives in nfl history this most unlikely hero had accounted for 42 of the 68 yards and in a game that history will never forget the name to forever remember is chuck mercine nine seconds showing on the clock the cowboys and the colts all tied up at 13 to 13. moral is kneeling o'brien is ready there is the snap the kick is up it is long enough it is a 32-yard field goal by jimmy o'brien it is good and the baltimore colts have just won themselves a super bowl if they can last out the last five seconds the one-time roar of the crowd has now been replaced by the hum of a computer today in thousand oaks california super bowl hero jim o'brien is an enterprising young inventor what's it for well it's for children to be seen by their parents when they're riding in cars so the parent don't have to turn around and look at them and what it does is you slide this over the river your mirror and it sits above it and then on it rotates so they can see your kids in the car seat that's neat yeah thanks i like it o'brien was always a proud pleasing going back to his college days at the university of cincinnati he is the school's all-time leading point maker and he led the nation in scoring in 1968. as a receiver jim also held the ncaa career record with a 22 yards per catch average cincinnati fans were equally delighted with another o'brien specialty the game-winning kick i always pretended like every field goal was the last second of a championship game not necessarily super bowl because i didn't have that when i was in high school but even in college and even when i was practicing in the pros my last my kicks in practice were always that last second field goal the trend continued in the pros in o'brien's very first game with the baltimore colts the young rookie drilled a last-second field goal to beat the san diego chargers he finished fourth in conference scoring and later became the last nfl athlete other than george blanda to both place kick and play a regular position despite his versatility o'brien number 80 was an inconsistent kicker missing nearly as many as he made and his useful flamboyance did not always sit well with the older colt players i wasn't the greatest kicker and i never pretended to be i never told anybody i was i did have a good season in the in whenever we needed a kick i made it for the most part i never missed a a kick that would have won a game the thing is the colts were a relatively conservative team that mostly guys were older you know johnny nitis and that era were in baltimore at the time and i was you know 23 and they were in their 30s times had changed a little and had come from the turbulent 60s in college so i guess i was just a little different and let my hair grow a little longer and they called me lassie but all such differences were put aside as the colts closed in on a world championship in a super bowl renowned for its abundance of eras it was an ill-advised dallas pass that was picked off by baltimore's mike curtis an interception that heralded jim o'brien's call to glory we were very surprised that he had even thrown it so mike could intercept it and at that point we knew it was going to be a field goal and at that time coach mccafferty you know yelled to john sandusky to get the field goal team [Music] set until you ready them to set tell them all not to sit until you tell them to sit and if they overload one side give a man overwrite a man over left and i was standing on the sideline going crazy i said you gotta do it you gotta hit it and he was he was so calm it didn't make sense he said i'm gonna do it you know everything is cool [Applause] i was begging him pleading come on jimmy as soon as he hit the ball the sound of it i knew it was going to be good you know and he jumped and i didn't even look [Music] i knew that it was going to be good it probably gone 55 yards it was my best kick of my life and as you know very fortunate to be able to be in that spot and to be successful no matter what he invents in the future o'brien remains the first to patent the last second game-winning super bowl play the only thing they remember max mcgee is the rerun of super bowl one when i reached back with one hand and caught that pass because they've shown that 9 000 times and that's fine because uh you know it's better than that if they didn't remember that wouldn't remember anything but max mcgee made some of the most memorable plays in green bay history although mcgee never earned all-pro honors during an 11-year career he was a clutch performer with skills that were comparable to the best receivers of his era you know like raymond berry they didn't have the blazing speed but i would say finessing intelligence kept mcgee in the league for the length of time he was there they would put the game plan in and they would ask max what routes do you think you could beat dick lebeau on or what routes can you beat bernie parish on and mcgee would put his own routes in because he knew what he could do against these guys and he would set him up as such and he would find a way to get open mcgee was just nonchalant and he never got excited about anything no matter what it was he was always cool i didn't hustle ever play i don't see that being a profoundly proud of it but i kind of always had a little save for maybe when uh you needed it the most and i think that was the best asset i had for pro football when the packers ran to daylight during the mid 60s mcgee was left out in the cold as a reserve he caught only four passes during the 1966 regular season but while he didn't break any long gains his habit of breaking curfew remained undiminished young ladies liked him a lot and uh he liked them a lot and uh he he had a good time i know vince lombardi knew what max was doing i got caught more than others i'll say that and vince caught me once for 500 and then he caught me again and he he said that'll be a thousand bucks and vince love to right in front of people and put a little embarrassment on you and he says mcgee i told you it's gonna be two thousand dollars this time and uh if i catch you one more time it's gonna be five thousand dollars and if you can find somebody worth five thousand let me know and i'll go with you hollywood style hoopla made super bowl one a glittering affair mcgee naturally gave full vent to his pension for partying amidst the star-studded surroundings [Music] i just had to go out and see the lights on sunset strips so out i went and as you go into bars you meet people and you know i met a couple of uh airline stewardess from chicago i i don't remember who they were and they probably don't remember who i was but uh you know the night kind of wore on and uh i finally uh definitely made breakfast the next morning with the team and uh i felt pretty dark on uh i didn't feel that bad but i didn't expect to get in this football game max told me before the game says well i hope you don't go down he says i'm not in very good shape and i kind of laughed you know because max is liable to say that anyway and uh sure enough i lasted three plays before i went in and made a block on johnny robinson and went out of the ball game and max came in and of course the rest is history he couldn't have had a better situation than i did wasn't expected to play had nothing to lose and boy from then on uh you have hot days and you had cold days and i had a hot day and when bart threw the first touchdown pass as the film shows bart got a little rush on and threw a pretty bad pass and it was behind me and i said well i better reach back and try to break up this interception that's when i reached back and the ball stuck right there i mean just the end of the ball right there to put it under my arm looked like we'd practice it all year you know so that was the first super bowl a second score capped off mcgee's unexpected heroics i didn't do anything that a lot of other people couldn't have done it's just the fact that i happened to get the opportunity to do it in the circumstances and everything it was the first super bowl and uh i was always better when the camera was rolling in those days at age 34 this veteran was the oldest player on the field yet by game's end he had caught seven passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns a night of revelry may have left max mcgee with a ringing in his ears but when he heard the call to glory he responded with one of the finest performances in super bowl history sometimes being a football hero goes beyond the boundaries of the playing field the twists and turns of life itself can often bring down even the proudest of champions and this was the fate suffered by hall of fame running back steve van buren who had a massive stroke in the summer of 1988 and doctors told him he would be paralyzed and spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair but van buren overcame that grim prognosis and three months later when old number 15's number was called at his team's 40th reunion he walked without any assistance to the center of veterans stadium to join his teammates and actually they weren't really surprised because in the late 1940s van buren's iron will and determined running led the eagles to two consecutive nfl championships as you'll see this man is a high-stakes hero in life as well as in football on a sunday afternoon in november of 1988 the philadelphia eagles championship team of 1948 and 1949 reunited in veterans stadium the gathering included eagle greats of the past like pete pio's concrete charlie bednarick and former running back bosh pritchard who still has a few good moves left [Music] but it was the presence of one man in particular on this day that truly symbolized the eternal championship spirit that man was steve van buren [Music] 40 years earlier steve van buren was the heart and soul of this very talented eagle team number 15 was a powerful runner who preferred to go over defenders rather than around them [Music] he led the nfl in rushing four times and he still holds the all-time eagles record for touchdowns in a season with 18. [Music] but it was when the stakes were highest and when the snow was falling that steve van buren was at his best a blizzard in philadelphia on the day of the 1948 nfl championship added a sense of high drama to the events that took place that day in shide park the funny story is that van buren almost missed it steve woke up and there was this blizzard and he didn't think the game was going to be played so he was at home they finally call steve and say where he says you mean we're going to play so i caught a trolley i had to catch three trolleys and walk about six blocks to the stadium van buren soon discovered that playing in the snow was far easier than commuting in it [Music] he literally plowed through the snow drifts and the chicago cardinal defense gaining nearly 100 yards rushing and scoring the game's only touchdown early in the fourth quarter on a day ruled by mother nature one man's indomitable will lifted philadelphia to its first nfl title difference in the game i must say was van buren i'm sure it must have slowed down their passing and running attack and uh fortunately we had vanguard and that's all there is to it one year later the eagles defended their title in a quagmire of a championship game at la's memorial coliseum and once again it was van buren leading the way he amassed a then nfl postseason record 196 yards rushing as the eagles prevailed over the rams sadly and ironically the man most responsible for philadelphia's back-to-back titles came perilously close to not making the 40-year reunion in august of 1988 steve van buren the toughest eagle of them all suffered a stroke at best he was told survival would mean permanent paralysis steve was paralyzed in his face and his whole left side and almost died and the doctors didn't think i'd live and that was only two months ago and i didn't want to live in fact i was asking for a pistol to shoot myself in the hospital but this event the the reunion coming up november the 6th ended up as a motivation for him you see because he said i'm going to make it back in time for that reunion and he's had a fantastic recovery because that was his target say it put him on that was his goal to be ready for this reunion the same spirit that once drove steve van buren through snow sleet and rain now enabled him to walk a distance doctors thought he could only cover in a wheelchair ladies and gentlemen let's hear it for the greatest steal of the wall number 15 steve [Applause] [Music] thank you i couldn't jog i thought van buren a champion then a champion now a champion forever i'll i'll see you boys at the next reunion 30 years from now six years after steve van buren retired from the eagles in 1951 a running back by the name of jim brown was the first draft choice of the cleveland browns and brown immediately showed that he was the most extraordinary runner pro football had ever seen yet for all the mind-boggling numbers that he compiled an nfl championship eluded brown until 1964. but it was not brown who propelled cleveland to the title instead it was a third-year punter from maryland who also happened to be one of the nfl's most consistent receivers in fact to this day gary collins remains the brown's career leader in touchdown receptions but on a cold december day in 1964 with the nfl championship on the line collins made his mark as a high-stakes hero the chocolate capital of the world is one of the most scenic areas in the state it's hard to blend into the scenery if you're 6'4 230 pounds but blending in is something gary collins knows all about in the 1960s collins disappeared into secondaries as a receiver for the powerful cleveland browns [Music] the knack for producing the tough catch at the dramatic moment resulted in 70 touchdowns the most by a receiver in team history [Music] if you put out a want ad for the ideal receiver in the 60s you look no further than gary collins if you put it down in the questionnaire wanted man six foot 180 pounds runs pretty fast and you're going to get hit at an intersection i don't think too many people would fill out the questionnaire yeah it takes courage but you don't think about that takes courage to go across an intersection too the busiest intersection in pro football is at the goal line and while collins escaped gridlock with few dents on his chassis his insurance policy also covered collision gary collins was the toughest for me he gave me the most problems uh he caught more touchdown passes against me than any other receiver most of colin's touchdowns resulted from post patterns a maneuver that became a whipping post for defensive backs and a hitching post for collins never had the great speed but i took pride in one thing that i could catch and i could catch the football no matter what the situation was i always took pride in third down catches and touchdown catches those are the tough ones to make [Music] in 1964 the brown stormed to a title in the nfl's eastern conference that year collins stood above most receivers in the nfl but head and shoulders below the team's colossus it was a team effort this championship year 1964 and there was more to it than jim brown although i know i don't understand that people identify the browns with jim brown it's like the yankees mickey mantle that's all you know or joe dimaggio [Music] in the 1964 championship game there were so many leading men to play the starring role there was no room on the marquee for gary collins probably if we would win would be jim brown frank ryan because quarterbacks always get it or united i certainly didn't think of myself after a scoreless first half the cleveland bronze found their path to glory gary collins to the post i ran a curl it was due to the goal post and i almost missed it because i was by the post and i thought it was going to hit the post and i juggled it and made the catch where once it seems so hard to score collins now made it appear so easy [Music] on his first two touchdowns collins finessed cult defenders and made them vanish but it was his ability to strong-arm them that produced a third score against all-pro cornerback bobby boyd number 40. [Music] i'm six foot four and bobby boy is five foot ten five foot eleven and it was just the ball was flowing perfect and being my size and he fell down and i do remember going into the end zone and the fans hitting me and at that point in time we knew we had it [Music] the sound of victory rang loud and clear and the echoes from colin's call to glory will resound for a lifetime and that'll be my epitaph no matter what i do in life gary collins oh yeah he scored three touchdowns in the 64 championship game i know how bobby thompson felt when he hit the ninth inning home run in 51 it's a rare feeling it's a wonderful feeling stays with you all the time being a high stakes hero certainly must be as gary collins just said a wonderful feeling because one of the best things that can be said of a great player is he answers in the biggest games he responds with his best performance and above all when a championship is on the line he finds the answer to winning and earns a special place in our memory as a high-stakes hero [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
