The Other Tom Green Show | Episode 14 with Rich Karlis

In this episode of The Other Tom Green Show, Tom welcomes former Broncos kicker Rich Karlis, whose pressure-packed kicks, barefoot style, and unforgettable moments made him one of the most unique figures in franchise history. Karlis reflects on the famous 33-yard overtime kick in Cleveland that sent the Broncos to the Super Bowl, the challenges of kicking in the old dog-pound end zone, and why the extra point after “The Drive” felt even bigger. He shares the story behind his iconic upright-hitting stretch in 1984, including how those misses affected him mentally and how he found confidence again one week later. Karlis dives into his unlikely path from walk-on punter to NFL kicker, the open tryout that changed his life, and the intensity of Dan Reeves’ daily kicking competitions. He also discusses Super Bowl XXI, modern kicking mechanics, why today’s specialists are better than ever, and his post-NFL career in business, community work, and woodworking. A full, fascinating conversation with one of the most memorable players in Broncos history.Let them play before they fly! Introducing Golf DEN at the Denver airport.
