#644 - Warren Moon - NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback for the Houston Oilers
NFL Hall of Famer Warren Moon joins Jimmy to talk about his remarkable path from being overlooked by NFL teams to winning five straight Grey Cups in Canada and eventually starring for the Houston Oilers. He shares why he chose the CFL out of college, what it meant to become a trailblazing Black quarterback in the NFL, and the pride of being enshrined in both the Canadian and Pro Football Halls of Fame.
Warren and Jimmy dig into leadership and longevity: the mindset that carried him through 23 seasons, how he led locker rooms without the “rah-rah,” and why ownership–coach–QB alignment matters most. They revisit the infamous Bills comeback, the grind of short-week Thursday games, old-school Astrodome turf burns, and how today’s rules, 17- (soon 18-) game schedules, fantasy, and betting have reshaped football.
You’ll also hear fun throwbacks—Tecmo Super Bowl rockets, an NBA Jam cameo—and a candid look at player safety: concussions, CTE awareness, and the gear and practice changes Warren wishes existed in his era.
