    It really is a funny skit.
    Oh okay. I'm going to try and see if I can find it on youtube.
    Back to my previous question though, didn't Theismann also play D and I suppose the better question would be was he any good at it ?

    I know that Theismann returned punts but I didn't think he played any defence.

    Anyone hear Theismann on the Fan this morning, they had him on to talk NFL but one of the first things he wanted to talk about was how excited he was that the Argonauts will be playing at BMO next season, love this guy, hasn't forgotten his time with Cahill and the Argos, poor hosts had to discuss the fact they are playing the Ticats in the ESF....priceless!!

    Joe Theismann on Greg Hardy, NFL QB injuries
    1 day ago | Listen
    Joe Theismann credits Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for changing the face of the NFL from a marketing perspective, but calls his decision to stand by Greg Hardy a mistake that leaves a bad taste in his mouth.

    "CFL & NFL great Joe Theismann......"

    Someone at Rogers is gonna be fired for putting CFL before NFL in that sentence.

    I have been a huge fan of Joe Theismann since he signed with the Argos after Notre Dame. Great to hear and see him still around after all these years.

    Thanks. I've heard for quite a long time that in those days there would be a bunch of guys that played both offense and defense, honestly thought Theismann would have been one of them. Oh well, at least now I know the reason why Toronto lost the East final in 2013 was because we didn't put Collaros in on defense.

    Correct Ravi, he returned punts for Washington when Billy Kilmer was still the starting QB.

    Did he return punts for the Argos at all? I know he did in Washington and thought he might have in Toronto but wasn't sure on that one.

    Pretty sure that was only in Washington. Apparently Billy Kilmer and most of his veteran teammates couldn't stand Theismann.

    True, Theismann loves every microphone he sees but I have alway been a huge fan of his.
    He genuinely remains interested in the CFL and always talks very fondly about his time here, Kilmer probably saw Theismann as a threat to his job which wouldn't help matters.
