Mike deserves to be in the HOF. 6 pro bowls super bowl ring and the best fullback for a decade. Honestly he is one of the greatest FB to ever do it.
He was literally the last fullback ever too! Nobody could replicate what he did in the NFL
After him😂
@@billythatkidd6926best fb I can remember by a wide margin
Man it would be nice if Mike Alstott, the featured guest could get a word in.
In all fairness, we can’t understand a word he said regardless
@@ryanshinermusic I was just about to say i don’t even know what he’s saying 😂😂😂
Dude seems fucked up tbh...
I feel for Alstott huge legend but you can tell the full back position took its toll
@@ryanshinermusic Yeah...I thought the same thing. He was a fun player to watch but man alive, I couldn't understand a word that came out of his mouth.
this had the energy of beanie seagel talking to charlemagne when he said "we did 3 a days in collge bro" lol
Look I get it 🤣😂
😂😂😂 absolutely
All facts, he said nah mean .
Agreed
If you know u know... LMMFAO HAHA
I remember watching him at Purdue. They lined him up often single back and fed him. He seemed to do best in bad weather. Great center of gravity, pad level and vision. Was a once in a generation talent.
@NotMyRealName Danny woodhead at his college, Dan Marino come close
@@Antioc87 That wasn't Mike Alstott. That was Peyton Hillis
@@Antioc87 wrong guy...
Once in a generational talent?! 🙄…when did he enter the HOF?! He was nice bt let’s stop with the overstatement and over exaggerating
Purdue pharma?
The dude is struggling to talk, it makes sense that these guys dont wanna end up like that and became soft
As opposed to what?
They still sound $tupid A/F on Tik Tok and I.G with out the CTE...
It's the virtual version of Brain Damage.
I hear what you saying but make millions risk your health if you love football your going to do it. Like Michaels Irvin either go over the middle or go back to poor house. You want brand new Ferrari go over the middle
@@dannysavagedraftguru lot of good that Ferrari does you if your motor functions don't operate well enough for you to drive it competently.
Well he’s also struggling to talk cuz he’s high… he’s on a cocktail of prescription pills
@@Nahhhhhhson any clue as to why?
Mike Alstot was an absolute MACHINE. He could bulldoze you or run a 15 yard route and get a first down... Absolutely he was ahead of his time. Warrick Dunn and Mike were the best duo RB/RB RB/FB combo in the NFL
Dude was a touchdown vulture
WTF are you smoking? LMAO.
Imagine if the league wasn't rigged.
Lamar, dobbins and Ricard give me chills
It's old-school.
Sad dobbins got hurt tho last year
Wait for this year its gonna be a flashback to the 2000s
don't forget alstot could catch and be WR too. boy was a beast
I loved how you guys let Mike be the host while you guys talked nonstop.
Literally just waiting for him to stop talking so they can gloss over what he said and make their point.
Mike is one of my favorites. This dude was an absolute beast.
When a player from decades ago sits there and looks like he could own a current NFL player you know the game has changed. A is a legend of legends.
Poor guy has some CTE going on. I feel bad for him and his family.
I feel bad for you and your lack of family
@@clintstewart3523 what does that even mean? Showing sympathy for a human is now a bad thing? Man, people like you are the worst of humanity. What do you do weekends, go make fun of handicapped people? You're sick.
You have the dr notes then huh? Such a claim should be backed up with evidence
Listen to him talk bro...he can barely get out a full sentence.
@@FaceFamous you might have CTE
used to be a Bucs season ticket holder and in 2017 we got chosen to meet Mike during a TNF live pre show. He was my football idol growing up and I was completely star struck when he shook my hand.….I’ll never forget it!
Been in Tampabay my whole life. One thing that hasn’t changed are Mike’s awesome interviews. 😂
When a coach describes what they are looking for in a football player…it’s Mike Alstott! he was a semi-truck in pads. If you don’t stop him before he gets going, it’s a WRAP!
Cap
@@sayten5512 Is there a reason you are saying that clown?
@@mr.brenman2132 yeah its a lie
@@sayten5512 What's a lie? Me saying you have football knowledge?
@@mr.brenman2132 you clearly don’t
Mike was an absolute beast. I miss watching him run. Was like watching a human Bulldozer just run over guys.
My grandmother is faster in her wheelchair that Alstott was.
@@rocknrolla2426 Does that make it easier to pass her around ?
@@thatguy4779 If the first thing you think to post is about sex when I mention my grandmother you need help ya sick bastard, lol. And Alstott is one of the most overrated pro player in the history of the NFL.
@@rocknrolla2426 his job 95% of the time was to block linebackers so pardon him if his 40 time wasn’t up to ur standards.. Something tells me he probably still outruns u to this day while carrying ur grandmother on his back tho lol..
@@jordanmolosky1074 My standards or most anybody else's that scouts talent. Alstott was overrated. I'm sorry that this fact hurts your feelings.
When I saw him in person during his prime in street clothes dude didn’t even look real…was like a cartoon character. Tree trunks for legs, forearms bigger than most people’s thighs and nothing but neck. I thought my god the idea of him in pads with a full head of steam is horrifying 😂
Alstott was always my favorite player. Tony Dungy built that team only for Jon to come in and win that Superbowl. I'll never forget it.
👁
but bucs dont beat Raiders with dungy. Gruden knew Raiders inside out and practiced as gannon for his D.
@@donphillips4492 facts, and new Coach Callahan didn't even change the play calling language... the idiot handed Gruden a SB on a platter!
No, dingy and monte kiffin built the defense. Without gruden the Bucs would have never won that game. Dungy had to have a 1st ballot Hof QB to win a Superbowl. He was a glorified dc
@@ZOMBIE_STOMP Gruden didn't have to do one thing right to win the whole season or the Super Bowl. Just don't get in the way and screw it up. Callahan, the Raiders new coach was such an idiot that he didn't change the play alignments nor calling signals before the Superbowl knowing they were all Gruden installed plays. In a mic'd up of the game you can hear Lynch and Brooks stating "they are calling EVERY play that Gruden told us about"..... Gruden didn't do crap but pass them a cheat sheet. If he was so good we would have maintained the success, but that was it.
Loved Mike Alstott as a kid, but hearing about the “soft” NFL from people who are clearly struggling with neurological damage is a painful irony. Enough with the “soft” talk. It’s a game. I’d rather see him be able to live a full, long life in good health. Modern players are figuring this out.
Was wondering about that. I notice his speech is different than it used to be.
Yeah but how is he gonna sound "tough" when he talks to people? That's what really matters.
@@bran4457 He loved playing real football and I doubt he would change anything. Football is war.
@Jason Leigh He sacrificed for your entertainment and you are mocking him for it. You don't give a damn about him.
@@mr.brenman2132 I don't think you're understanding what he's saying. Players like alstott took a lot of punishment as well as gave it out and I'm sure the players that can barely walk or barely talk or can't chase around their grandkids would change a little bit about how they played
From the same hometown as Mike, Joliet illinois. Growing up playing football, he's all we kept hearing about, coaches telling us to be like him even if we went to different high schools. Loved watching him play
Ayyy I’ve been to Joliet a bunch of times for concerts. Always at The Forge.
@@myquest666420 yeah the forge is nice, a lot better than it used to be
As a lifelong Raiders fan. I remember the damage he could do. He was a bulldozer. I feared him in the 02 super bowl
Why would you fear him? You didn't have to line up across from him or put pads on him, did you?
@@MattGatts ok calm down, you know what he meant
Grew up in FLA as a kid during Alstott's run ... Love the guy but he sounds punch drunk to the point of concernment for his near future. Great episode but damn boys. Cant bite my tongue on this one
Heard the same thing you did
I love this guy, I hope he has a good life.
Was thinking the same thing, it may be softer but he’s the proof why it’s getting that way.
I thought he was maybe high cause there are videos of him from a year or so ago and you can't tell at all
@@downsouthhustla CTE gets worse over time
I feel very fortunate, I was able to watch this man play with the original squad back in the day, and now have the same opportunity to watch this new great buccaneers team do things as well, Being able to watch the A Train play and appreciate it back in the early 2000's was awesome!
All respect to Alstot. I loved watching him but him struggling to get a thought out and basically stringing/slurring words together is exactly why the NFL is softening up.
Yeah very ironic conversation 😂
Exactly, guys are trying to live to 70 with their bodies and brains intact. It doesn't make them soft.
No doubt he sounds different than when he was playing.. although he was always a bit of a bumpkin. I'm sure by 60 he's going to be in rough shape
this.
Exactly why current NFL sucks their was a time when grown men played football not anymore
The days of Alstott and Dunn were some of my favorite Bucs days. Miss those guys.
Love mike but it’s sad to hear him like this. He doesn’t sound all there
I thought i was bugging… I was like damn those 3 a days took a toll
I was just about to comment the same thing.
@@Darkskinjus look up the video of Chuck Liddell high on the news it’s the exact same thing.. talking very similar .. Alstott is clearly on a mixture of prescription pills… probably opioids and Benzos if I had to guess
….I thought I was the only one thinking , CTE
Yeah, I was feeling the same. He is sounding like a retired boxer. Hate to hear it. My favorite of all time, I wish him the best.
There's legends and everybody else. Legends always make the most sacrifice. That's part of being a legend.
Mike was a badass on the field
Was able to watch Mike play all 4 yrs in High School and he was one of my heros at that time. Im 8 yrs behind him. Got to play the same high school as him which made me proud. Got to play Ray james Stadium in a college game and Mike stopped by briefly and I got to say hey. Fast forward more than a decade and I watched as he announced Tampas draft pick in Chicago and was lucky to share few beers with him that night not talking about Joliet. Lol. Great freaking guy! Dude had the same mentality as a little dude all the way through the league!
My favorite full back…I wore a neck roll because of him
The fact he can even string together cohesive sentences is un believable
Ehh that’s a stretch..
@@njdevil8950 dude used his cranium as a battering ram for years. Wouldn't call that a stretch. I've seen amateur boxers who can't tie their own shoes anymore.
He's only 48 bro. That ain't unbelievable, thats fucking sad
@@krb0123 that too.
Poor guy. He was a beast back in the day. He sounds like an old boxer that’s taken too many punches.
Even as a Panther fan I respected this guy. I used to have a saying "you're in good hands with Alstott" lol
He was a beast. Loved him
Alstott was a BEAST loved watching him play….
Love this guy true warrior.. Feel bad for him in a way one can tell he has early stages of CTE!
Hopefully this isn’t the case…but yea I thought it was just me.
CTE is to punch drunk as PTSD is to shell shock.
You gotta realize that these old timers could give less of a fuck about CTE they didn’t even hear that term until 2012 so they’ve gone there whole lives not knowing or caring about it…which is how it should be…you don’t skydive and think you’re gonna die everytime
Bro you don’t know that to be true.
@@NinkyStigger so they shouldn't know or care about an ailment that degrades their cognitive function later in life for what good reason exactly?just to be hard-core or something? FOH, you sound foolish
Cory Schlesinger was another of the great FBs from that era, those two were fun as hell to watch play.
@whokoo living his best life
can hear the cte, damn
Their was no one like Mike; not even the bus was as physically demanding on defensive players as Alstott. The younger generation look up his highlights even when he was at Purdue. The original Beast Mood
John Riggins?
The original beast mood
Cap
@@sayten5512 You don't know football. Cap yourself.
@@C____K Larry zconka
The A-Train, Alstott was a beast! I loved him and Tom Rathman..brutal fb’s..LoudLove..🔊🔊🔊💜💜💜
Mike alstott was a real life madden cheat. Madden 2004 when I HAD to win a game against a buddy you better believe I was taking the Bucs and running mike alstott 85% of the plays. Never let me down once. Never was a Bucs fan but I tried to play like mike.
NFL Street Mike alstott is the most broken character ever in any game lol
Madden 04? You couldn't even run or break tackles on that game.
@@hitek9too255 he mean 01-02
Best FB of all time. The Dunn Alstott combo was one of the best of all time.
Tom Rathman begs to differ.
WD40
Jim Brown.
True. Alot are Drama Queens and its about more Money than TEAM
I've been following the Bucs since '96. And this is the first time I've grown accustomed to Alstott's voice. It's a real cool and mellow tone. We had so many prominent figures back then like Brooks, Sapp, Ronde, and Lynch. I guess others didn't have much opportunities to rock the mic during interviews and promos.
Wooooo, man, just hearing his name brings back those game breaking chills lol this dude was 1 of those once in a lifetime players. Imagine him an Marshawn Lynch on the same team.
That's damn near a Madden cheat code. Who the hell can stop that backfield?
He can't even say soft without sluring his words. Call me soft if you want. I can form words
Cool you can form words, he’s also richer than your whole family tree
@@ryankoskinas4327 he's certainly not poor but bragging about Mike Alstott's net worth is a really weird flex my dude.
alstott is buzzed af here lol
@@ryankoskinas4327 money means nothing if the brain ain’t working
He did run headfirst thru people then stiff armed whoever was left
My all time favorite Buc . I remember one time , it looked liked he had 2 or 3 opposing players hanging onto him while he gained several yards . And I mean literally hanging on with their feet off the ground. Looking healthy here too. Nice to see that .
He was one of my favorite running backs too watch,just a fuckin human tank
Mike was like a impenetrable rhino on the field. He was unstoppable in NFL Streets lol
rhino is accurate
Alstott is such a beast!
Sweet Christmas these guys talk to much you have a living legend on your show and he can’t get a word in!!!!
I grew up a Bucs fan and still a huge one today and I missed watching the A-Train as a kid, sad to see his career cut short from his neck injury.
Mike is an HOF player and deserves to get in. That said, I don't know if he's been drinking or it's head injuries, but his voice sounds vastly different here from interviews I've found online. I don't know well enough (and completely wrong about this) to say for sure, but he might have serious head injuries.
When Mike alstott talks I listen. A true football legend
He belongs in Canton. If OJ can stay in there...then Alstott should be there...likewise.
@@middlefinger1565 He didn’t do anything close to Oj on the field lol
@@middlefinger1565 A simple comparison of stats will settle this nonsense. He is probably a fan boy that knows very little of NFL history.
@@vuls81 Whose nonsense? Mine? M.A. was a 3x 1st team All-Pro. He was also a 6x Pro Bowler. Plus he played 11 seasons with the same team (the Bucs.) Those are good enough numbers for Canton, imho.
It was 44 to nothing but we got them back years later in San Diego for superbowl 37
That advertisement coffee table is so not natural
Mike was friends with a dude that lived in my building at Purdue. He would come over while we were playing hacky sack high as shit in the parking lot and would always linger for a bit and watch us play until we said "Hey Mike, you wanna play?" And he'd smile and say "Nah, I'm good". We'd give him shit as he walked away and he'd laugh about it...good dude...never big timed any of us.
Never happened
@@JacaboBlancoRight on...didn't realize you were there. I lived across from the Skulls. Mike bought his weed from the dude that lived above me. We played hack and he liked watching but never played. So you're from where? I grew up in Wabash Indiana and went to school at Purdue in 95-97....I don't remember you though.
@@neilbowman573 lol. Hacky sack? I assume you're a Democrat?
That's the most bland and retarded assessment of someone's political views I've ever heard.
Alstott was the Marshawn Lynch for Tampa(pure power).
One of my idols growing up in the 2000s.
The boys need to let the guest chime in maybe once every 200 words that they speak lmaooo
Alstott was one of the best Fullbacks to play the game!
Tom Rathman was another great!!
I can easily say the big A-train was easily one of my favorite football players
Yeah, the man is punch drunk. These guys can rah rah tough guy all they want. But this stuff is sad.
When I was a kid in 90’s Mike was my fav
Have his jersey from the 02 SB. Man he was fun to watch
He’s a prime example of why the nfl has gotten “soft”…
Mike was a beast but players these days understand the end of your career can be greatly affected by the beginning. Players want to retire and remember their loved ones and pick up their grandkids. Kobe wasn't even a football player and got to a point that it hurt to get out of bed. But he's right about the talent over work mindset that's very prevelant
Booohooo
Aww can’t get out of bed. Playing a kids sport and making millions.
@@legless4767 that's poor talk 🤣
Poor babies, playing a game with large padding that they don't have to play.
When I was 5 years old, I was at Raymond James stadium for some sort of event and I will never forget when mike Al Scott sat next to me and gave me his autograph
Why is a retired fullback bigger than an active O lineman
Mike Alstott is a GOAT! 🐐
Everyone on here seems to be offended by the “gone soft” statement.
I do agree he seems slow to the response maybe foggy brain from years of being a human bulldozer but, it’s no different then head kicks in mma or merciless ground and pound, boxing same thing. All I’m saying is every man knows what they are signing up to do. Mike was the best at being a jackhammer on the field and I think that is what he was trying to say in between the two other dudes fuckin talking over him.
Maybe if he took off the pads once in awhile he’d still be able to form a sentence
Yeah I don't think those guys knew that they were gonna get substantial tbi by playing the way they did. I'm taking nothing away from Mike or anyone who ended up like that because I loved watching those guys play hardnose football, but fuck dude I hate it for guys who couldn't live full lives after their career.
Favorite player of all time and I’m from Massachusetts
A-Train is my favorite player of all-time !
He's a legend here in Tampa but you can definitely tell that the game definitely took a toll on him. Sad whstching this.
If Mikes could string together a full sentence i might take him a bit more seriously about the nfl being “soft” but i don’t want to hear pat mahomes ramble endlessly without making sense in 15 years
Just watch his tick toks he’ll be making them by then
Mahomes plays qb lol he wouldn't get CTE even if he played in the 60s
@@user-bo6wb2yl3o go watch QBs play in the 60s and come back to me lmfao QBs were taking the hardest hits back then
If you catch him drunk like Mike is here, you'll hear Pat mumble like this.
The difference, players today treat it like a business, players back in the day wanted to win
It's a business first. Players today are smarter. The NFL kicks you the moment you're no longer producing.
@@kifley19 Sports are softer across the board.. Millennials are complete pansies and have, half the testosterone and sperm count as guys did 30 years ago. #facts
The game is definitely not as violent today ! And that is a good thing to a point !
You're right. A glorified scrimmage where the ball thrower cannot be impeded, the opponent cannot celebrate a good play, the defense is not allowed to defend, and a flag is thrown every other play...is WILDLY more entertaining than watching warriors go to war with each other. I have a condition and can't take all that excitement!!
@@thelastmanonearth2631 i was looking at it from a players point of view, as i have broken my kneck in two places playing !
You may think its fun to watch people get taken out !if so you can go watch other sports !
Imagine working your whole life to be an accountant and you have to start over in another profession because you got hurt , players only last on average 3 years ! EVEN NOW !
Ayo the name of this channel is mad crazy
Alstott is a legend, at FB or RB! I’m an Eagles fan however, I was a big fan of that Bucs team in the early 2000’s! Alstott, Brooks, Lynch, & my guy, Warren Sapp
Don't forget Barber, hall of fame corner
Booger McFarland, Brian Kelly, Simeon Rice, Dwight Smith, Keyshawn Johnson, Brad Johnson, Quarles… who else? That team was awesome.
@@dellis4320 Brad johnson sorry ass lol
CTE happens in all contact sports. I think football could learn from Rugby in regards to tackling technique. Take the head out of the tackle. Cheek to cheek. 🏉
Mannnnnnn I’ve been saying that for years. If you take away the helmets people won’t use them as a weapon. Less head injuries. Ruby players are THE best tacklers on the planet. They could learn a whole lot.
League is a horrible game, I never understood it. There is a reason the world cup is union. People that couldn't hack it in union play league. Get rid of it
@@willcortez5 If one can’t figure out Rugby League they are a complete moron. A lot more laws and nuance in Union. Rugby League stared it’s World Cup 20 some off years before Union.
Football isn't a contact sport!!! It's a COLLISION SPORT!!!
Also Rugby sucks😂😂😂
That buccs team was brutal with John Lynch on the other side..
Been a Buccaneers fan since '78. Mike Alstott is a paragon among the Tampa greats.
League office is more responsible for "softness" than the players union. Protect the QB is literally something the players should not stand for. 55 men on a roster and the whole league is pent up on "protecting" 2-3 of them. It is a spit in the face to every player. The RB position would not be dying if not for these rules that artificially protect the health and logevity of immobile qbs.
Its not about protecting quarterbacks. Its about protecting the money the nfl loses if a star qb gets hurt.
Blame Tom Brady. He made it way softer for qbs. You can't evenh breathe on Brady and it's a foul or he jumps and whines to the refs.
He’s high asf on pain killers here. 🤪
The funny thing is.....neither of u don't know shit. Whitney's voice sounded more strung out than this. Go look at his interviews from 10 years ago he's always had that transitional slur
I think hes just punch drunk
Did I miss Mike saying the quote in the title using the f bomb?
love Taylor Lewan, been watching him since michigan!
Best full back of all time
Lol no. He couldn't even block
@@drewfleming5584 he was busy scoring son
Definitely in the conversation. Guaranteed no one can name a better FB off the top of their head.
Jim Brown is the greatest fullback.
Not to bring race into it, but this was (is) my favorite white football player of all time lol. I had his jersey and everything. Not Dunn, Not Sapp, Not Brooks! Good ol Mike Alstott. I even played fullback on my 7th grade football team because of him 🤣😂
Gotta add John riggins too
Pure swagger. When he used to let the jersey hang loose, man! Him and Warwick Dunn were a problem.
Alstott is half black
@@timbrown9796 Riggins is part black too somewhere in his lineage lol.
@@BrunoJaws lol never knew that
Come back to this statement in 15 years when that CTE really kicks in.
Let Mike speak!!!
Y’all acting like Mike got crazy CTE he seems just awkward he talks like I do especially in front of a camera lmao
Plus he's drunk. But when all of your "experts" are idiots, it's no wonder all the idiots consider themselves experts.
The league does seem softer but those new rules allows athletes to have a life after football lol
The great football players of the 70s 80s and 90s are legendary but many of them have difficulty walking or mental issues.
As a fan, I wouldn't want to see legendary players in that much pain, nor their family.
The early 2000s guys I think will be some of the toughest examples because you have none of the safety measures and some of games peak athletes ever
That fullback CTE from the 90s.
One of the last true warriors, signed niners fan!
I think I would rather play in the "softer" NFL than not be able to talk. I think he needs to get checked out that's scary
Well it's a given that soft people would rather play in the softer league.
@@xXRazorbacksXx 🤯
@@xXRazorbacksXx I rather play in the “soft league”, you get paid handsomely, and there’s a good chance you won’t be a vegetable once your career is over.

Used to love watching this guy play
I would turn the my surround sound up when I watched Alstott.....You could hear pads ring and snap when this dude ran over people! Monster!
CTE
He sounds like he has CTE or somethin lol
The GUEST on the show said like 1 sentence uninterrupted
We love Mike!
