Ep9: Wade Phillips brings it to Jerome, Part I
Description
The longtime NFL coach, the Son of Bum, took time out from his celebratory ride since the Broncos won the Super Bowl to chat with Jerome about a wide variety of issues. In this episode, Phillips talks about the jeweler mix-up that resulted in his championship ring having the wrong name on it, why he wears his ring every day and how special it was to finally win a Super Bowl after 39 NFL seasons. As great as the championship feeling was though, Phillips, who calls Houston home, says it wasn’t as emotional for him as the Luv Ya Blue welcome back parties after the Houston Oilers lost to Pittsburgh in the playoffs in 1978 and ‘79. “I’ve never heard a crowd like that, and I’ve been in a lot of games,” he said. Phillips says he is unsure how good new Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler will be, but “He’s the right kind of person,” to succeed at the position.
