When Football Is Football is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sports' Yesteryear.
EPISODE SUMMARY
We revisit a great interview with Ken Riley II, son of NFL legend Ken Riley. Mr. Riley was one of the best cornerbacks in NFL history. His 65 interceptions for his career ranks him 5th overall in NFL history. Why isn't Mr. Riley in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
Maybe that will change soon. Mr. Riley will soon (January 2023) be considered for the Hall of Fame through the senior committee. According to bengals.com, all he needs is 80% of the votes from 49 members to make it to the Hall of Fame. All I can say is that it is about time.
Take a listen to this interview and you will see what I am talking about.

HOST - JEREMY MCFARLIN
Growing up in Middle Tennessee, I didn’t have a pro football team that was close enough to me to feel a part of. My first memory of pro football was Super Bowl 22. I picked the Broncos to win, and, even though they didn’t win, I followed them from that point on.
John Elway was (and is) my favorite player. I have played as the Broncos on Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl, Madden, and 2K Sports. I fondly remember the moments when the Broncos won Super Bowls 32 and 33.
Around this time, the Oilers came to Tennessee. I was hooked. I finally had a team just down the road from my hometown of Bon Aqua. Oiler (and later Titans) mania hit this area. Jerseys, hats, footballs, merchandise, and several autographs later, I’m a Titans fan through and through.
It’s the dedication, the love, and the passion for football that helps me realize that football is family. Each fan base has a story, a history, and a love for their team. That’s what I want to talk about each and every podcast.
