This weekend, Washington Redskins legendary QB Joe Theismann and Miami Dolphins legendary QB Bob Griese will be honorary captains for the Dolphins-Redskins game.
Sunday's match-up between the teams is a rematch of Super Bowls VII and XVII. Super Bowl XVII happens to also have been the Redskins first Super Bowl championship. All season the NFL will be celebrating 22 Super Bowl rematches across 19 games in the lead-up to Super Bowl 50 in February.
I was fortunate enough to participate in a conference call with Joe and Bob this afternoon and ask them a few questions as they reflected on what it means to be honorary captains, their Super Bowl memories, and this Sunday's match-up.
