Summary
Ep. #19: Peanut and Roman are joined this week by NFL Hall of Fame running back and Cowboys great, Tony Dorsett. The hosts start off by asking what it’s like to be a Hall of Famer and how often he wears his gold jacket. They also find out that it’s hard to keep your jacket pristine and what happens if it gets ruined. Tony also gives the guys an inside scoop into his illustrious 99-yd TD run and what it’s like holding a record that can only ever be tied. Dorsett is one of only 10 players to have won the Heisman Trophy and be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He talks about how much of an honor it is to be in such elite company and how it feels surreal for him due to the amount of great players that do not share this accolade. Tony then discusses how much different the game of football is today and what it was like being a smaller back in such a physical era. Today, Tony spends his time with family and talks about how much joy he gets from being a grandfather.
