Episode 178: Vince Papale

This week Kevin + Steph get to talk to a Philadelphia Eagles NFL football legend, Vince Papale.

In 2006, Vince was the inspiration for a Disney movie called Invincible. Why? Vince was a school teacher, a part-time bartender, and a huge Eagles fan with season tickets. In 1976, the Eagles front office hired a new head football coach, Dick Vermeil, who offered a public tryout at Veterans Stadium. And, just like in a Hollywood movie, Vince actually made the team and went on to play four seasons in the NFL.

So…what happened to those season tickets? Kevin + Steph also ask about Vince’s reaction to Mark Wahlberg playing him in the movie and Elizabeth Banks playing his wife.
