We Talk Super Bowls Past & Present, plus Steelers, Patriots, Bucs, Falcons and a Whole Lot More with J.T. Thomas, Tony Collins, Chris Washington, Paul Alexander, and Beau Bock Join Us...

On this edition of Thursday Night Tailgate we're joined by former Steeles Pro Bowl DB J.T. Thomas, former Patriots Pro Bowl RB Tony Collins, former Bucs LB Chris Washington, AT&T Sports Net Pittsburgh Host Paul Alexander, and the Dean of Atlanta Sports Talk Radio Beau Bock.

J.T. Thomas talked about what it was like being the first African American to play football at Florida State and wanting to go to the University of Georgia but Head Coach Vince Dooley said they weren't ready for that yet. He also shared stories about being drafted by the Steelers, his big interception off Ken Stabler in the 1974 AFC Championship game, why they won Super Bowl 9 while they were standing in the tunnel pre-game and Chuck Noll's complete faith in his defense to win Super Bowl 10 over the Cowboys.

Tony Collins shared memories from his experience in Super Bowl 20 vs. the Bears and led us through our picks for Super Bowl 52.

Chris Washington shared memories from his time at Iowa State and being a part of the early 80's Bucs teams that struggled to win 3-4 games per season. He gave us his thoughts on Head Coach John McKay, what is was like playing alongside LeRoy Selmon and Hugh Green and the traffic accident that Hugh Green got into after practice one day that left him in a ditch with a pole through his leg.

AT&T Sports Net Pittsburgh Host Paul Alexander shared this thoughts and insights into what happened in the Steelers vs. Jaguars game, who should be held accountable for the Steelers routinely coming up short in the playoffs and if Todd Haley out thought himself on the two 4th down calls that the Steelers failed to convert on.

Beau Bock shared his insight into why the Falcons came up short this season and why both the Falcons and the University of Georgia squandered double digit leads both in last year's Super Bowl and this year's National Championship game. What happened? Beau shares his dismay.
