1. Sports Jock.
- And Chad. We're back.
Copy !req
2. Now, don't tell me
Sports Jock took Pickins over Curney?
Copy !req
3. Well, Chad,
Copy !req
4. if you don't want me to tell you,
I won't tell you.
Copy !req
5. Change of subject.
Copy !req
6. Here's a topic for the Sports Jock.
Copy !req
7. Arlen High's very own
senior running back, Ricky Suggs.
Copy !req
8. Shh. Everybody drink quiet.
Copy !req
9. Oh, yeah.
four touchdowns last night.
Copy !req
10. Now, I was at the Arroyo Diner,
Copy !req
11. and Ricky was the only thing
anyone was talking about.
Copy !req
12. That is, except
for the Arroyo's lime ambrosia.
Copy !req
13. Mmm, mmm. I call that uptown good eating!
Copy !req
14. You know,
if Ricky keeps up this pace,
Copy !req
15. he'll capture the career touchdown record,
Copy !req
16. which, I might add,
has stood for over 20 years.
Copy !req
17. Well, it looks like
we've got our Sports Jock and Chad
Copy !req
18. question of the day.
Copy !req
19. Who currently holds that record,
Copy !req
20. and here's the tricky part,
Copy !req
21. what position did he play?
Copy !req
22. Winner gets a Sports Jock T-shirt
Copy !req
23. and dinner for two at the Arroyo.
Copy !req
24. Uptown.
Copy !req
25. We're Sports Jock and Chad,
Copy !req
26. two faces better off in radio.
Copy !req
27. - We'll be right back.
Copy !req
28. Yo, man, dang ol' Bill Dauterive.
Copy !req
29. Man, dang ol' defensive lineman.
Copy !req
30. I don't want to miss it
if Ricky ties my record.
Copy !req
31. I'm going
to the little lineman's room now.
Copy !req
32. This record is all Bill's got.
Copy !req
33. Should we rock, paper, scissors
Copy !req
34. to see who keeps him
from killing himself in the bathroom?
Copy !req
35. Well, he seems okay.
Copy !req
36. - Interception!
Copy !req
37. Who is it? I'm out of focus!
Copy !req
38. - Focus me, Hank!
- It's Ricky!
Copy !req
39. He's going to take it back all the way.
Copy !req
40. Whoo-hoo! There you go, Ricky! Ricky!
Copy !req
41. And that ties
the record for career touchdowns
Copy !req
42. currently held
by class of '74, Bill Dauterive,
Copy !req
43. who's here in the stands tonight.
Copy !req
44. Let's give them both a hand.
Copy !req
45. - Hey.
Copy !req
46. You the man, Ricky!
Copy !req
47. Well, I don't think
we have to worry about Bill.
Copy !req
48. Now, I've never done
a radio interview before,
Copy !req
49. but hardly a week goes by
Copy !req
50. that I don't do a telephone survey
about my long distance service.
Copy !req
51. Uh, Bill, I'm not trying
to make you nervous,
Copy !req
52. but this is the Sports Jock and Chad.
Copy !req
53. Nah, I just see it like
talking to some old friends.
Copy !req
54. Excuse me.
Copy !req
55. Maybe I need a mint.
Copy !req
56. Okay, this is it.
Copy !req
57. Hello, Sports Jock.
Copy !req
58. Hello, Chad.
Copy !req
59. Hey, hold on,
we've got a little feedback here.
Copy !req
60. Is your radio on, Bill?
Copy !req
61. Say no! Say no!
Copy !req
62. Hell, it would just tear me up
Copy !req
63. if some young buck
was about to get my record.
Copy !req
64. Some folks drink, but I find
what's best for what ails me
Copy !req
65. is to head on down to the Arroyo Diner
Copy !req
66. for their delicious chicken-fried steak
Copy !req
67. just sopping in cream gravy.
Copy !req
68. Mmm, that is uptown.
Copy !req
69. But let's get back to Bill.
Copy !req
70. I like the yam biscuits.
Copy !req
71. Uh, Bill, our listeners
want to hear about your record.
Copy !req
72. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
73. It was 1974,
Copy !req
74. and we were playing
the Wauhatchie Cowboys.
Copy !req
75. The ball was on the three-yard line
with five seconds left.
Copy !req
76. We needed a touchdown to win,
Copy !req
77. and that's when coach called for...
Copy !req
78. the Billdozer!
Copy !req
79. Man, they gonna
take them down set, man.
Copy !req
80. Take a hike.
Copy !req
81. Yep. Chipped my spine on that play.
Copy !req
82. Well, look at Bill. Lucky dog.
Copy !req
83. You know, the principal comped his ticket.
Copy !req
84. Almost makes me wish
Copy !req
85. some kid would make a run
at one of my records.
Copy !req
86. Eh, won't ever happen.
Copy !req
87. Ricky Suggs gets the handoff.
Copy !req
88. This could be it!
Copy !req
89. - Oh!
Copy !req
90. What a hit! Suggs is down.
Copy !req
91. Looks like it's his knee.
Copy !req
92. Boy, if he wasn't playing
on St. Augustine grass, I...
Copy !req
93. I don't even want to think about it.
Copy !req
94. Wingo! Ha-ha!
Copy !req
95. For a second, I thought I was the only one
Copy !req
96. who was happy about Ricky being hurt.
Copy !req
97. She said it.
Copy !req
98. Ricky Suggs, I was so sorry
to hear about your injury.
Copy !req
99. Torn ACL, you are lucky
you are not a horse, young man.
Copy !req
100. Doctors say I'm out for the season.
Copy !req
101. Oh, please. What do doctors know?
Copy !req
102. A doctor told me I might not walk again.
Copy !req
103. Well, not only am I walking,
Copy !req
104. I hear his marriage has gone south, too.
Copy !req
105. Yeah. Okay.
Copy !req
106. That's the attitude.
Copy !req
107. Now, get over there and spot me, Ricky.
Copy !req
108. That Bennett boy's
a Hoss, all right,
Copy !req
109. and wait till he hits junior high.
Copy !req
110. Oh, yeah, he can play football.
Copy !req
111. Sports jock, this is not a rumor!
Copy !req
112. Ricky Suggs, back in action!
Copy !req
113. This Friday.
Copy !req
114. Funk and Wagnall!
Copy !req
115. He'll be going for the touchdown record
against Hentoff.
Copy !req
116. That kid is uptown all the way.
Copy !req
117. One week after a torn ACL.
Copy !req
118. Only Ricky and I know how tough it is
to get this far.
Copy !req
119. He won't let anything stand in his way.
Copy !req
120. Yup, and I remember hemorrhage
Copy !req
121. and embolism, even detached retina.
Copy !req
122. It sounded scary,
but when you smell the goal line,
Copy !req
123. they're only words.
Copy !req
124. Just words.
Copy !req
125. Let's get moving.
Copy !req
126. Why are you in such a hurry
Copy !req
127. to witness Bill's soul-shattering collapse
Copy !req
128. when Ricky Suggs crosses that goal line?
Copy !req
129. Have you been talking to Dale?
Copy !req
130. Because he's saying the same thing.
Copy !req
131. You both think Bill will be depressed.
Copy !req
132. Well, I'll tell you what, I am impressed
Copy !req
133. with the way Bill has handled this
Copy !req
134. with sportsmanship and dignity.
Copy !req
135. Does this finger
go with these short pants?
Copy !req
136. You the man!
Copy !req
137. You the man!
Copy !req
138. I'm sorry I got cotton candy in your hair.
Copy !req
139. And Arlen has a first and goal!
Copy !req
140. Time-out for a substitution.
Copy !req
141. It's Ricky Suggs coming in
to break the record
Copy !req
142. for most career touchdowns!
Copy !req
143. What a competitor.
Copy !req
144. Wow, look at him. He can barely walk.
Copy !req
145. Boy, I tell you what, if that boy
doesn't make it in the NFL,
Copy !req
146. he's got a job at Strickland Propane.
Copy !req
147. Pending Mr. Strickland's approval.
Copy !req
148. Ricky!
Copy !req
149. Ricky! Ricky! Ricky!
Copy !req
150. Hup. Hike.
Copy !req
151. Thanks.
Copy !req
152. - What the...
Copy !req
153. Nobody's trying to tackle him.
They're letting him score.
Copy !req
154. Wha, wha... what?
Copy !req
155. Ricky Suggs!
Copy !req
156. The new touchdown record holder!
Copy !req
157. Hey! now they're carrying him in
Copy !req
158. for the two-point conversion!
Copy !req
159. Too much!
Copy !req
160. May God have mercy on you all.
Copy !req
161. Now that
Ricky has broken the record,
Copy !req
162. Arlen will allow Hentoff
to score a makeup touchdown.
Copy !req
163. Huh?
Copy !req
164. I'd like to thank everyone
who made this possible.
Copy !req
165. My coach, God, and the school board.
Copy !req
166. I also want to thank Mr. Deebatrove
Copy !req
167. for taking such good care
of the trophy ball.
Copy !req
168. Well... uh...
Copy !req
169. - Oh.
Copy !req
170. Yep.
Copy !req
171. - Said, "Yep."
Copy !req
172. Bill, there's being a good sport,
Copy !req
173. and then there's just plain being cheated.
Copy !req
174. I don't know.
Copy !req
175. Everybody seemed real happy
about Ricky breaking the record.
Copy !req
176. Yo, man, it's dang
ol' six o'clock sharp, man,
Copy !req
177. on the dang ol' Sports Jock and Chad.
Come on, man.
Copy !req
178. Now, don't go saying the Sports Jock
Copy !req
179. should be fitted for a skirt
and some of them pretty hoop earrings,
Copy !req
180. but I got a tear in my eye last night
Copy !req
181. watching Ricky break that record.
Copy !req
182. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
183. What? The Sports Jock, maybe, but Chad?
Copy !req
184. Come on. Isn't anyone going to say
what we all better be thinking?
Copy !req
185. It's an... outrage?
Copy !req
186. That's right, Dale.
Copy !req
187. I am outraged!
Copy !req
188. I really am.
Copy !req
189. Bill, if we feel this cheated,
Copy !req
190. I can't imagine how bad you must feel.
Copy !req
191. Oh, I feel bad I couldn't help Ricky
across the line, of course.
Copy !req
192. Oh, for the love of...
Copy !req
193. You... you don't understand.
Copy !req
194. You know, I never
really appreciated my record
Copy !req
195. till Ricky broke it.
Copy !req
196. I think I'll send him a "thank you" note.
Copy !req
197. Yeah. No, no.
Copy !req
198. You know what I'm going to do?
Copy !req
199. I'm going to bake him some muffins.
Copy !req
200. Yeah, some...
Copy !req
201. All right, then. I'll see you tomorrow!
Copy !req
202. Well, I'll still listen
to the traffic and weather report.
Copy !req
203. And the fishing report. But that's it.
Copy !req
204. I have had it with the "Sports Jerk,"
Copy !req
205. and, uh, Chad.
Copy !req
206. Hank, facts are facts,
Copy !req
207. and the fact is that boy would have
blown the old record out of the water
Copy !req
208. if he didn't get hurt.
Copy !req
209. Well, I don't know
why you're so mad, Hank.
Copy !req
210. If the fat, bald guy who had the record
doesn't care, why should you?
Copy !req
211. His name is Bill.
Copy !req
212. You played on his team.
Copy !req
213. That was Bill?
Copy !req
214. Good Lord.
Copy !req
215. Mega Lo-screws? Hank.
Copy !req
216. I couldn't give
the hardware store my business.
Copy !req
217. Not with Ricky Suggs fever
infecting the place.
Copy !req
218. 952. 53.
Copy !req
219. Hey. I'm setting a new world's record.
Copy !req
220. Well, that's real good, Bobby,
Copy !req
221. but I think you have to start over
when you fall off.
Copy !req
222. I'll be honest with you, Dad.
Copy !req
223. I'm not in the best shape,
Copy !req
224. and this is the only way
I'm going to make it.
Copy !req
225. Nine hundred fif...
Copy !req
226. Uh...
Copy !req
227. Wait. How many was that?
Copy !req
228. Let's call it an even thousand.
Copy !req
229. Dang it, Bobby.
Copy !req
230. That's not how you set a record.
Copy !req
231. Okay.
Copy !req
232. One...
Copy !req
233. One!
Copy !req
234. One...
Copy !req
235. Oh, forget it.
Copy !req
236. That Ricky Suggs.
Copy !req
237. I can't believe they let him limp his way
into the record book.
Copy !req
238. Mm. Poor Bill.
Copy !req
239. He was living in his past,
and that boy has stolen it.
Copy !req
240. Where is Bill supposed to live now?
Copy !req
241. Mr. Chairman, I would like
to respectfully suggest
Copy !req
242. that you put an asterisk
next to Ricky Suggs' name
Copy !req
243. in the record book.
Copy !req
244. And that asterisk should read:
"This record was attained
Copy !req
245. by means of fraud and bad sportsmanship."
Copy !req
246. Thank you.
Copy !req
247. I don't agree with him.
Copy !req
248. That suggestion is denied, Mr. Hill.
Copy !req
249. Ricky Suggs is an inspiration to us all.
Copy !req
250. Now on to more important matters.
Copy !req
251. My motion to add "fatty-fatty boombalatty"
Copy !req
252. to the list of unacceptable hate speech.
Copy !req
253. Remember when we used to run
wind sprints out here
Copy !req
254. till we couldn't stop throwing up?
Copy !req
255. Mm-hm. When we were kings, Hank.
Copy !req
256. You okay?
Copy !req
257. Oh, sure.
Copy !req
258. Good sport doesn't whine
when things don't go his way.
Copy !req
259. Yeah, but good sports play by the rules.
Copy !req
260. You did. They didn't.
Copy !req
261. Hey, how about that time
we snuck into the stadium
Copy !req
262. and mowed the whole field
Copy !req
263. before the groundskeeper could?
Copy !req
264. The look on his face
right before we apologized!
Copy !req
265. - Yeah. We were crazy.
Copy !req
266. I can thank the Army
for straightening me out.
Copy !req
267. Yeah. You were a changed man
when you came back.
Copy !req
268. Oh, yeah. I may not
have made it to Vietnam,
Copy !req
269. since the war ended
right after I volunteered,
Copy !req
270. but barber school at Fort Bragg...
Copy !req
271. baptism by fire, my friend.
Copy !req
272. Yeah. It's too bad you had to ship out
Copy !req
273. before the end of our last season.
Copy !req
274. Well, the country needed barbers
Copy !req
275. and I was flunking trigonometry.
Copy !req
276. Huh.
Copy !req
277. You weren't around at graduation.
Copy !req
278. Or senior prom.
Copy !req
279. Was there dancing?
Copy !req
280. Coach, what happens
if a player gets injured
Copy !req
281. or can't finish his season?
Copy !req
282. Well, we red-shirt him
Copy !req
283. and then let him make up
the games the next season.
Copy !req
284. What if he's out for a couple of seasons?
Copy !req
285. Well, as long as he hasn't graduated,
Copy !req
286. he keeps his eligibility
and plays the next season.
Copy !req
287. Well, what if he's out for 25 seasons?
Copy !req
288. Oh, Hank, find a pickup game.
Copy !req
289. I'm talking about
William Fontaine de la tour Dauterive.
Copy !req
290. The Billdozer.
Copy !req
291. He still has red-shirt eligibility.
Copy !req
292. He didn't finish his senior season,
Copy !req
293. and you can put him in Friday's game.
Copy !req
294. Are you asking me to slice
another piece of phony baloney
Copy !req
295. like they made me at last week's game?
Copy !req
296. No, I'm not asking you to fix the game.
Copy !req
297. I'm asking you to fix an injustice.
Copy !req
298. Just put Bill in
and let him get his record back
Copy !req
299. fair and square.
Copy !req
300. Let's show those kids
how we used to play football.
Copy !req
301. I'd have to cut somebody...
Copy !req
302. Uh, you got that exchange student
Copy !req
303. who kicks barefoot.
Copy !req
304. Think we've all had enough of that.
Copy !req
305. I can play again?
Copy !req
306. Thank God I never graduated
from high school!
Copy !req
307. Hey. Do I have to go to class, too?
Copy !req
308. Come on, Bill.
You're on the football team.
Copy !req
309. Just like the old days.
Copy !req
310. Mm. There it is.
Copy !req
311. My old uniform.
Copy !req
312. Haven't worn it
since my 30th birthday party.
Copy !req
313. Suit up, Billdozer.
Copy !req
314. Hank, how'd my head get so fat?
Copy !req
315. Uh...
Copy !req
316. I don't know, Hank. I'm still an athlete.
Copy !req
317. I got my pride.
Copy !req
318. I'm not sure how I feel
about the other team
Copy !req
319. just rolling over for me.
Copy !req
320. Well, don't you worry about that.
Copy !req
321. Belton has the toughest defensive line
in the division.
Copy !req
322. You know, the whole first string
flunked history last year
Copy !req
323. so they could come back and go to State.
Copy !req
324. - Hmm.
- They'll never roll over.
Copy !req
325. Oh.
Copy !req
326. Good.
Copy !req
327. Bobby, success on the field
Copy !req
328. depends on hard work off the field.
Copy !req
329. That's why I run a tough practice,
Copy !req
330. but a fun practice.
Copy !req
331. Now, watch this.
Copy !req
332. Hey, Bill, what's that over there?
Copy !req
333. - Where?
Copy !req
334. Made ya look!
Copy !req
335. Okay. Let's hit the tackling sled.
Copy !req
336. Bobby, go help Boomhauer.
Copy !req
337. - Go, Bill! Go! Go!
Copy !req
338. Okay, Bobby, start taunting.
Copy !req
339. Hey, batter, batter, batter, su...
Copy !req
340. Wait. No.
Copy !req
341. Come on, ya ol' tub of slop!
Move your can!
Copy !req
342. Oh, man.
Copy !req
343. That's it, Hank.
Copy !req
344. This Billdozer's out of gas.
Copy !req
345. I can either train, or...
Copy !req
346. I can play, but I can't do both.
Copy !req
347. All right. Hit the showers.
Copy !req
348. Too tired.
Copy !req
349. I'll get the hose.
Copy !req
350. When I crossed that goal line
and set the record,
Copy !req
351. I didn't do it just for me.
Copy !req
352. I did it for my girlfriend.
Copy !req
353. - I love you, Ricky!
- I love you, Ricky.
Copy !req
354. And for everyone here at Arlen High.
Copy !req
355. Except for old man crybaby
Copy !req
356. who's probably going to cost us the game.
Copy !req
357. Whoa! Okay, thank you, Ricky.
Copy !req
358. Ricky Suggs!
Copy !req
359. Okay, now, settle down, class of...
aught one.
Copy !req
360. We have a new addition to the team.
Copy !req
361. Boo!
Get off!
Copy !req
362. Hey! Now, this guy
was setting football records
Copy !req
363. before you were born.
Copy !req
364. He fought for your freedom
in North Carolina during 'Nam.
Copy !req
365. I'm honored to introduce...
Copy !req
366. the Billdozer!
Copy !req
367. Arlen's number one!
Copy !req
368. Hey, where's the party tonight?
Copy !req
369. Anyone's parents out of town?
Copy !req
370. Loser!
Copy !req
371. Hey, my parents aren't even alive.
Copy !req
372. Party at my place!
Copy !req
373. Yeah!
Copy !req
374. 'Kay.
Copy !req
375. Okay, everybody. Huddle up.
Copy !req
376. Oh, come on, guys.
Copy !req
377. Too cool to sing the school song?
Copy !req
378. We changed it back in '97.
Copy !req
379. It's, uh, Candle in the Wind now.
Copy !req
380. Oh, Marilyn Monroe, or England's Rose?
Copy !req
381. Let's see some blocking now.
Copy !req
382. - Hike!
Copy !req
383. Arlen to punt the ball.
Copy !req
384. If we could just get
into scoring position,
Copy !req
385. we'd get to see Bill put in the game.
Copy !req
386. Don't have a heart attack, mister.
Copy !req
387. Aspirin this morning, red wine last night.
Copy !req
388. Don't worry about me.
Copy !req
389. Fumble-laya!
Copy !req
390. Sure is, Bobby,
and Arlen's in scoring position.
Copy !req
391. Okay, Bill.
Copy !req
392. We may not have their youth or speed,
Copy !req
393. or performance-enhancing drugs,
Copy !req
394. but we got something they don't.
Copy !req
395. Guts.
Copy !req
396. Now, go out there and get us
a touchdown, Billdozer.
Copy !req
397. I guess we're giving it to Mr. Dauterive.
Copy !req
398. Just don't step on me.
Copy !req
399. Now in the backfield for Arlen,
Copy !req
400. bringing the number 72 out of retirement,
Copy !req
401. Army Sergeant Barber
Bill "the Billdozer" Dauterive!
Copy !req
402. Hey, that's the Billdozer growl.
Copy !req
403. And I think that's the Billdozer.
Copy !req
404. Down!
Copy !req
405. Set!
Copy !req
406. Hike!
Copy !req
407. I'm open! I'm open!
Copy !req
408. No.
Copy !req
409. - Touchdown!
Copy !req
410. Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Copy !req
411. No fair!
Copy !req
412. Asterisk! Asterisk!
Copy !req
413. Way to go, Mr. Dauterive!
Copy !req
414. My dad said you were good.
Copy !req
415. Good job, man.
Copy !req
416. You did it, Bill! Way to go!
Copy !req
417. I scored for Arlen?
Copy !req
418. Yep, and you tied the record.
Copy !req
419. There's still time on the clock.
Copy !req
420. If Arlen gets the ball again,
Copy !req
421. you can get the record back.
Copy !req
422. When Ricky tied my record,
he did it fair and square.
Copy !req
423. I am honored to share it with him.
Copy !req
424. Besides, I can't get up.
Copy !req
425. Thank you, Hank.
Copy !req
426. I couldn't have done this without you.
Copy !req
427. No, sir. You the man.
Copy !req
428. No-oh. You the man.
Copy !req
429. I can't point, Hank.
Copy !req
430. That's okay.
Copy !req
431. Don't look down at your leg.
Copy !req
432. Oh, it'll be a battle, all right.
Copy !req
433. You know St. Margaret's
Copy !req
434. wants revenge for that butt-whupping
they got served up last year.
Copy !req
435. You know,
their coach should have Dauterive
Copy !req
436. give them their halftime speech.
Copy !req
437. I never seen anything like him.
Copy !req
438. Heart like a lion.
Copy !req
439. Old time football.
Copy !req
440. Shoot, I thought he was dead
when they wheeled him off the field,
Copy !req
441. but then just two hours later,
Copy !req
442. he was eating the jalapeño corn bread
at the Arroyo diner.
Copy !req
443. That man is uptown!
Copy !req
444. No doubt about it.
