Jan Stenerud | February 10, 2021

From February 10, 2021: On the 23rd episode of “Great Dane Nation,” Morten is joined by his Pro Football Hall of Fame brother and Kansas City Chiefs legend Jan Stenerud. But first, he checks in with TommyFreezePops (Tom Carroll) for a recap of Super Bowl LV, which ended with Tom Brady hoisting his 7th Lombardi Trophy and the Bucs blowing out the Chiefs. We then move to our interview with Jan, where he discusses a wide array of topics: the amazing journey that led him from a ski jumper in Norway to becoming one of the greatest kickers in the history of the NFL; the one day that changed his life forever while running the stadium steps at Montana State; how much his training as a ski jumper had an impact on his success as a kicker; why he spent his entire career in fear of losing his job; what he thinks the biggest difference is between kicking now and kicking back in his day; high praise for Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker; how he was able to be so successful for so many years, as he had a ten year gap between Pro Bowl appearances; how the Chiefs were able to get so much Hall of Fame talent in the building at the same time during their dominant run in the 1960s; why Hank Stram was such a singular talent; how Lamar Hunt could be so understated, yet so powerful in the game of football; his thoughts on “Lenny the Cool;" being teammates with Tom Flores; burying the hatchet with Marv Levy; why he can’t find a single flaw in Bart Starr; why James Lofton gave him grief when they first became teammates; his relationship with Bud Grant; remembering the late Chris Doleman; why Archie Manning was not looking forward to playing against the 1985 Bears; how fun it is to have the Chiefs as a dominant franchise again; why it would be hard for him to ever put Andy Reid ahead of Hank Stram; why he still has Bart Starr as the “GOAT” Packers quarterback; why Mahomes should already be considered among the greatest Chiefs of all-time; why he can’t give a definitive answer to the “GOAT” kicker question; and how important Jan was to Morten being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Then, TommyFreezePops is joined by Paul Bovi for his weekly check-in with the experts from VegasInsider.com. Paul tells us what his biggest takeaway was from a gambling perspective from the Bucs impressive victory in Super Bowl LV. The guys take a look at the early odds for next year’s Super Bowl, and explain the types of numbers you should be looking for if you’re making a futures bet this far in advance. Finally, we close things out with Morten’s “Game Winner” – a weekly segment where Morten monologues his biggest takeaway of the week. This week, he talks about Jan Stenerud, and how his example helped shape Morten’s path as a professional football player.
