Gino Fuentes, what's the poop with you?
It's episode 59.
So which player in NFL, nay, sports history wore that number best?
I didn't realize that until recently.
By the way, my sister Amy and I saw Jack Hamm at a Pittsburgh Penguins game in the Igloo, the now decimated former home of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
And we saw Jack Hamm sitting there and we said, oh, we got to go get his autograph.
And so we went over to him.
with a piece of paper and a pen and we said hey hey Mr. Hamm could we get your autograph and he said sure and he he went and he was like he like went to try to write it and they looked up at us and he tried again and he looked up at us again he said sorry your pen doesn't work and that was the end of our interaction with the Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Hamm also I got to throw in Jake Gensel
of the Tampa Bay Lightning, formerly of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the guy who replaced him in number 59 in black and gold, Igor Chinnikov, lighting up the NFL.
I mean, the NFL, the NHL, and Roman Yossi also wore it in the NHL.
I think we got to give it to, I don't know, let's ask Zaz.
Zaz, who's the greatest 59, Hamm or Keekly?
Well, both Hall of Famers, and Hamm was great, was apparently ahead of his time in his ability to cover running backs and linebackers, I mean, and tight ends and otherwise, which was a rare skill for guys playing his position as an OLB.
Now, Zazz, you had a less successful vacation.
Yeah.
You returned early.
It seems like something that happens in movies, but people, I don't think I can think of ever knowing anybody who's like, yeah, I'm just going to leave vacation a couple days early now.
Bruins legend.
Yeah, listen.
Coincidence?
