#59 - Jim McMahon: The Black Sheep Quarterback, BYU Battles, and Super Bowl Glory
Manage episode 477340596 series 3563428
In this raw and revealing conversation, Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jim McMahon joins Tim and Troy Green to share the unfiltered truth about his wild path to NFL stardom. From his troubled youth and strict upbringing to setting NCAA records and clashing with authority at BYU, McMahon opens up about what shaped him into one of football's most unforgettable personalities.
He recounts the infamous media smear before the Super Bowl that led to death threats, the real reason he always wore sunglasses, and why he challenged the legendary Mike Ditka at every turn. Jim also reflects on the miracle that saved his eyesight as a kid, the near-death injury that almost ended his career, and his deep belief that a higher power has always been looking out for him.
A candid look at pain, pride, redemption, and resilience—this is Jim McMahon like you’ve never heard him before.
