Secrets of the Super Bowl Quarterbacks
SUPER BOWL III
One thing that I haven't really talked about is how, a few nights before the game, I went out to dinner with a few Colts players who were old friends. They were so confident -- they really thought they were going to win. At dinner, Lou Michaels flat out told me that they were going to kick our asses, and specifically kick my ass. I felt a little mischievous, so I said, "Come on, Lou, what you know? You're just a damn kicker." Boy, did that infuriate him. He was an All-American defensive lineman at Kentucky, and he played a lot in the Colts' regular defensive package. But he also was their kicker. I knew calling him that would piss him off, and it did. Dinner went well and we all went home friendly and in good spirits. But man, it started off shaky.-- As told to Morty Ain of ESPN The Magazine
