JOHNNY BLOOD TALKS TO JIM “4 HORSEMAN” CROWLEY

Here’s my radio script copy that I was too chicken to run: RADIO SCRIPT 
ANNOUNCER: Today we’re interviewing two ghosts of Packers past. Take it away, gentlemen:
BLOOD: Hi. I’m Johnny Blood. Hall of Fame running back for the Green Bay Packers.
CROWLEY: And my name’s Jim Crowley. I grew up in Green Bay. And I’m still remembered as one of Notre Dame’s all-time greatest ball carriers.
BLOOD: One of the Four Horsemen, weren’t you, Jim?
CROWLEY: You betcha. The Four Horsemen, Knute Rockne… those were the days, eh Johnny?
BLOOD: That they were, my friend.…. But the reason were talking to you today, is that you can read about many of our exploits—
CROWLEY: (Laughs): Both on and off the field—
BLOOD: — Along with Curly Lambeau, Tom Hearden, and many other great players in the entertaining new football novel SHOOT FOR THE STARS. It’s chock full of behind-the-scene stories many fans have never heard of.
CROWLEY: Where can folks get ahold of this book, Johnny?
BLOOD: Any bookstore can order it. Or Amazon. Or Barnes and Noble.
CROWLEY : So maybe we settle our long-time bet? Who the greatest running back in Green Bay history really was?
BLOOD: Let’s let the fans decide. They’re usually right.
CROWLEY: SHOOT FOR THE STARS. What football was like back when men were men, and their broken noses proved it.
BLOOD: By the way, Jim. You’d be a lot better looking today if you’d played with a facemask.
CROWLEY: At least I didn’t play with a constant hangover…
They argue as voices FADE: … I think I’ve still got a few loose teeth, Jim…. And likely still a hangover… Just a little tired, my friend… Remember that time against the Bears? 
ANNOUNCER: SHOOT FOR THE STARS… The perfect gift for every football fan you know. Order your copy today.
