Episode 4: Terrell Davis

On the fourth episode of “Great Dane Nation,” Morten is joined by his Pro Football Hall of Fame brother and Denver Broncos legend Terrell Davis (04:16 – 48:01). But first, he checks in with TommyFreezePops (Tom Carroll) to talk about breaking news in the NFL (01:24). With the recent outbreak of COVID-19 within the Tennessee Titans organization, the NFL has announced that the Titans’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week is going to be postponed, with the possibility of the game being played on either Monday or Tuesday night. Morten gives his instant reaction, and the guys share their desire for “Tuesday Night Football” becoming a permanent fixture in the football schedule moving forward (02:08).We then move to our interview with Terrell, where he discusses a wide array of topics: being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the same year as Morten (05:52); how Morten spent the day of the induction drinking with his buddies at an Irish pub to stay loose before his big speech, while Terrell sat around and stressed over what he’d say at the podium (07:12); why Terrell is jealous of Morten for bailing on post-ceremony obligations to hit his after-party early (10:27); why winning Super Bowl MVP in his hometown was special, but wasn’t as fun of a night as it could have been (12:20); why dealing with migraines during Super Bowl XXXII forced him to party extra hard after beating Morten in Super Bowl XXXIII (14:15); Morten’s “losers party” after losing to Terrell in the Super Bowl (15:15); why he ranks his first Super Bowl victory over his second (16:45); dealing with the adversity of being on a football team at Long Beach State when the program was cut (17:34); why he wanted to transfer to UCLA, but ended up landing at Georgia (21:30); why he butted heads with Georgia head coach Ray Goff, and how that led to Terrell learning some of the most important lessons in his life (23:53); how he was able to rise from 6th to 1st on the Broncos depth chart during his rookie training camp (33:20); how a huge play on special teams in a preseason game changed how the Broncos felt about him (35:42); a rundown of Terrell’s incredible four-year stretch to open his NFL career (39:50); why he believes Von Miller is the 2nd greatest Bronco of all-time (41:35); his unique connection to Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (42:30); why Terrell’s story about Lindsay resonates so much with Morten (45:00); and the embarrassing statistic that both Terrell and Morten share (46:25).Then, TommyFreezePops is joined by Kevin Rogers for his weekly check-in with the experts from VegasInsider.com (50:21 – 58:37). With the Broncos playing on Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets, the guys talk about what Denver’s ceiling can be this season with a banged-up Drew Lock (51:08). They also talk about the Patriots heading into Kansas City for a marquee match-up in the AFC (52:48), the Ravens as heavy road favorites in their regional rivalry game against Washington (54:41), and the Monday Night Football match-up between the red-hot Green Packers and the ice-cold Atlanta Falcons (56:31).Finally, we close things out with Morten’s “Game Winner” – a weekly segment where Morten monologues his biggest takeaway of the week. This week, he talks about his friend Terrell Davis, and how he has taken the meaning of the word “efficiency” to a whole new level (58:37).
