Hard to imaging what Papale actually pulled off. It’s simply incredible. Love the movie too even if it is a bit romanticised

@JWW855 Жыл бұрын

I love your ability to tell the story behind the scenes and show the difference between the sometimes exaggerated Hollywood version and the real version. I feel like the real version is just as good a story if not better for all the people you choose to highlight.

@jdaniels1313 Жыл бұрын

Absolutely! I'll give credit to the movie producers for "adjusting" the punt muff (non) TD to a fumble recovery scoop and score "real" TD. But mostly, Credit to Flem for explaining this part to us and even tracking down the "why" for the rule that a punt muff recovery can't be advanced.

We dismiss "Rocky" claim as Stallone at time of filming would not qualify for Heavyweight class and Carl Weathers was a much smarter better athlete. "Rambo" also objectionable as Stallone never actually served...from MN Chapter of Mark Bavaro fan club. P.S. Stallone's contributions to Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive is and until this day is immaculate and still still serves as heroic and inspiring for old and young.

Amazing story. IMO I think the real life version would make just as good of a film in a way. Just as remarkable in the sense of getting closer while dealing with setbacks until finally grabbing that brass ring. I do get how/why things have to be changed to tell a kind of story for effect and such, so it's understandable. I love the part about how Vince's touchdown in real life didn't happen only due to a rule technicality. The 'making the team, but somehow wasn't notified even when the locker and everything was setup' deal was hilarious. Always enjoy your work. Thank you!

When my pops got back home from his 3rd tour in Iraq, they all met up at hooters and Vince was there and I think this was just after the movie came out. He was doing autographs and gave my pops and a few guys in his squad a free copy of the dvd with his signature & a message. I still have the copy.

What's crazy too is that they made a movie about Warner and called it Underdog or something like that. So Dick Vermeil's decisions have helped make 2 NFL movies

@ASimpleHeroinUser Жыл бұрын

I'm not gonna lie I didn't know this until I watched this video. I never knew the full story of Vince Papalle and this being a FlemLo video I had to watch it. But soon as I heard Dick Vermeil's name I had to rewind it and listen again carefully. First thought I had was damn he's been coaching for a long time, second thought was how old is Dick Vermeil and how long has he been coaching, then I thought of the Rams and Kurt Warner. Instantly I was like damn, no way. That's some ironic ish right there and coach Vermeil really judges his players on what they do on the field and not their credentials for a roster spot. When they tell u leave it all on the field, he must live by that

@ASimpleHeroinUser Жыл бұрын

Fun fact - Dick Vermil is also the same coach that took on a man who was working at a grocery store at the time and gave him an opportunity to become a HOF. His name is Kurt Warner
