Today's podcast will feature two borderline unbelievable stories that remain a mystery to this day. The audio from both of these stories has been pulled from our main YouTube channel and has been remastered for today's episode.
The first story you'll hear is called The Quarterback and it's about a famous college quarterback who goes missing. And the second and final story you'll hear is called Waking Nightmare and it's about a woman who deals with a violent stalker.
But before we get into today's stories, if you're a fan of the Strange, Dark and Mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to the right podcast because that's all we do and we upload twice a week, once on Monday and once on Thursday.
So if that's of interest to you, please sneak into the Amazon Music Follow Buttons house and steal the little plastic clip on their vacuum that keeps the cord neatly tucked away after use. Okay, let's get into our first story called The Quarterback.
From 2002 to 2006, Cullen Finnerty was perhaps the most successful college quarterback in history, winning three national championships and being named the division two player of the decade. He was also perhaps the toughest college quarterback in history. Most quarterbacks will spend their careers looking to avoid getting smashed by defenders, Not Cullen.
Cullen was 6'2", 240 pounds, and he would tell his teammates that he wanted to get hit, and he would hit back. And his coaches hated it about him, but his teammates loved this about him. Cullen was also famous for playing through injuries. His junior year in college, he broke his collarbone, and he didn't tell anyone, and he played through an entire playoff series that he won.
After college, Cullen's professional football career was not nearly as successful as his amateur one. He played briefly for two NFL football teams, the Baltimore Ravens and the Denver Broncos. But when he wasn't getting any playing time and he just could see the writing on the wall that this was not going to be a match, he was not going to make it in the NFL.
He left for Europe to play in the European Football League. But when his European football career started to sputter out as well around 2009, he came back to the United States where he joined a very small time indoor arena football league.
And while Cullen's love of football was still there as much as it ever was, he knew at this point playing at this low of a level that his career was effectively over. Around the same time that Cullen was hanging up his football cleats, he would meet Jennifer, who would become his wife. She was an Allstate volleyball player and in many ways was just as competitive and as athletic as Cullen was.
