Club Shay Shay - The Broncos Reunion Part 2

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
Thank you for coming back, part two is underway. Atwater, that Super Bowl was the first one. You didn't finish the game because you knocked damn near everybody out. You knocked yourself out, you knocked Hillard out, Kroc had a hamstring without, and Robert Brooks was out.
What went through your mind? You were like, I can't let him catch it.

**Steve Atwater** (0:20)
Oh yeah, well, it was third down, and I was to the trip side, I had deep middle responsibility. And man, I tried to disguise it.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:31)
We already know you were going to catch it, but go ahead. Hey, no, hey, Moe, Moe, we know you were going to catch it.

**Rod Smith** (0:41)
Ball hit it, day to day. He's like, I hit it right now, so I'm telling you.

**Steve Atwater** (0:44)
That's not the one though, that's not that play, that play wasn't that bad, I didn't have the chance to catch that one, man. But anyway, so my mindset was, bro, when I realized that before I was throwing the ball, I saw like, bro, I just, I can't let anybody catch that ball, because otherwise, that's going to be on me.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:02)
Right.

**Steve Atwater** (1:02)
And so I just went in there with everything I had, man, and just-

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:05)
And blew it up.

**Steve Atwater** (1:06)
Next thing you know, I was-

**Bill Romanowski** (1:11)
So now, it's four down.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:14)
And so I'm like, because I remember Gray Robinson asking, because he asked, until that drive, he was asking Mike, well, Mike, how do you want me to call it now? Mike say, call it like you've been calling the whole game. Throw some blisters in there, do some coverage and so forth and so on. So now we get the fourth game, and everybody say, well, we don't have Atwater, we don't have Croc, we don't have Hillard. So we got a bunch of guys in there, and this is the biggest player of the game.
This is basically our season. And I see Gray, what are they gonna run?

**Rod Smith** (1:42)
And I see Gray blowing up.
We been blowing up. There we go.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:49)
And so now, I see Mo break. I say, well, Mo go, I know Mo ain't gonna catch it either.

**Keith Burns** (1:57)
What?

**Rod Smith** (1:57)
I had the best hands on the DJ.

**Bill Romanowski** (1:59)
I know Mo ain't gonna catch it either.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:01)
So I see Romo there trying to get around because Romo coming on the blitz.

**Keith Burns** (2:06)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:07)
Actually, everybody coming. Everybody.

**Keith Burns** (2:08)
Everybody was coming. Yeah, everybody.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:10)
And I was like, and it seems like, I don't know how it felt. Ever. It felt like it was slow motion.

**Bill Romanowski** (2:15)
I'm watching and I'm like, it did.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:18)
And I was like, well, damn, is the ball ever going to get there? And I just see Moe and Moe cut that thing pretty. I mean, Moe cut it.

**Rod Smith** (2:27)
Yeah.

**Steve Atwater** (2:29)
I mean, don't judge me.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:32)
Shoot that thing. I remember Coach Robinson said, if you get the chance, knock the ball down. So I was conflicted.

**Rod Smith** (2:42)
I was conflicted.

**Steve Atwater** (2:44)
I already know.

**Rod Smith** (2:45)
I said, Lord, I said, please.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:46)
I said, just don't let Pop It up and let DeFleck get it. But I already knew Moe was going to catch that ball.
Man, when that ball hit the dirt.

**Steve Atwater** (2:53)
Boy, we were like a bunch of kids.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:56)
Boy, you see us piling out on the field. Like, we realized your dream.
We went back to back. I was, Romo, you, and I probably, Romo, for you, cause that was your third one. Yeah. For me, ain't nothing like that first one.

**Keith Burns** (3:10)
Yeah.

**Bill Romanowski** (3:11)
It was my, it was the greatest eye I've ever had in my life.

**Keith Burns** (3:17)
That game. That's something, man. Yeah.
And the reason I say that-

**Rod Smith** (3:22)
That's the only game I didn't have a catch.

**Terrell Davis** (3:24)
You didn't have a catch on that?

**Keith Burns** (3:25)
It was the Super Bowl. Nope. The Super Bowl, 32?

**Rod Smith** (3:27)
That's the only game that I started in my career that I didn't have a catch.

**Terrell Davis** (3:31)
I didn't know that.

**Rod Smith** (3:32)
But I blocked my ass off and my bro was toting that thing.

**Keith Burns** (3:35)
