JR Greene here, coming to you from the podcast booth on Music Row in “Nash-Vegas!” Today, we’ve got a real Bears legend in the house. We’re talking about the man who has played more games in a Chicago Bears uniform than Walter Payton, Dick Butkus, or Mike Ditka. Please welcome the one, the only, Patrick Mannelly!
Patrick spent 16 seasons as the most consistent long snapper in NFL history, and in this episode, we’re diving into the “perfectionist gene” required for the job. We cover everything from his Duke education (and why he almost went to Wall Street instead of the NFL) to the secret of a perfect spiral snap.In this episode, we’re talking:
The specialized life of a Long Snapper: Why you only get noticed when you make a mistake—and how Patrick avoided those for 16 years.
Longsnapper.com: How he snagged the ultimate domain name for just $9 back in 1999!
The Patrick Mannelly Award: Why it’s so important to recognize the unsung heroes of college football.
The “Honey Bears” Curse: We get Patrick’s take on the legendary Chicago curse I covered in my last episode.
Desert Fan Island: Patrick reveals his must-have movie (Fletch!), his favorite Soldier Field snack, and which Bears legend he’d want to be stranded with.
Whether you’re a die-hard Bears fan or just a student of the game, you don’t want to miss Patrick’s stories from the sideline and his bond with legends like Jim McMahon and Rex Grossman.
Find Patrick at longsnapper.com and make sure to follow, review, and nominate your favorite superfan at superfandiaries.com.
Remember, if you make one person smile today, you’ve had a great day. If you make ‘em laugh? Even better.
