Kenny Easley

And, oh, by the way, Big Sweet got a bone to pick with you, man.

You cannot tell me that your crew put UCLA on the map because I know it was Dick Vermeule and Wendell Tyler and John Shara and Wally Henry saying, you may fool some people

some of the time.

You know what? You know what, Philly, you're right.

They started it off.

It was Wendell Tyler and that crew right before I got there.

Wendell

Tyler.

Loved watching him play at USC.

Speaking of watching old videos, did you watch Kenny Easley yet? No,

I'm not.

Come on, Rob.

And then I've had a lot of Sea Orc stuff going on.

I've not had a chance.

But given that I have some time to kill tonight until 1.15 in the morning, I promise to check about Kenny Easley.

Put it in.

Five keys to getting this thing done.

Thank you to Kenneth Easley, Uncle Fish Premium, who comes into the Super Chat Club.

Thing number one.

Avoid the emotional letdown.

And it's also about the allegiance that these athletes have for their school.

So when I went to UCLA, two of the greatest players in UCLA history, both in the College Football Hall of Fame, both were three-time All-Americans, were linebacker Jerry Robinson and safety Kenny Easley.

And I knew both on a very personal level.

And so years ago, I used to write for a UCLA-themed paper.

This one was specifically UCLA.

And so I remember there was a feature that I wrote for on members of the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame.

And so I remember calling Jerry Robinson and Kenny Easley in separate conversations.

Both these guys went on to NFL careers that were great, Easley ended up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Why do they do that? Oh, they got the old school Seahawks uniforms.

The one Kenny Easley used to wear.

And Jim Zorn and David Craig.

Kurt Warner.

those are the old heads

yeah so like uh i've told this story before maybe maybe people uh haven't haven't heard this one but when he wore the kenny easley jersey on the the flight to um I think we were going to Kansas City for the last preseason game.

And he made sure to come back because I think he was looking for me and Rabel because he knew that we were two guys that probably knew Kenny Easley, which he was right.

And he came back there and was just asking us questions.

And Rabel was telling him how Kenny Easley, during double days, used to get up at like 4 in the morning and go play around like a nine-hole round of golf.

At four in the morning? Yeah, as soon as the sun came up.

And then he'd go out and practice, and they had like double days.

Yeah.
