"THE BIG CATCH: 2014 FOX SPORTS FOOTBALL PREVIEW" PREMIERES AUG. 21 ON FOX SPORTS 1
Moss, Urlacher, Klatt, and Schrager Fish for Answers on Big Bear Lake
Charlotte, N.C. - Avid bass fisherman and former NFL great Randy Moss baits his hook with fellow FOX Sports 1 football analysts Brian Urlacher, Joel Klatt and Peter Schrager for a weekend of fishing and in-depth football talk on California's Big Bear Lake. THE BIG CATCH: 2014 FOX SPORTS FOOTBALL PREVIEW premieres Thursday, Aug. 21 (9:00 PM ET) on FOX Sports 1, re-airing Sunday, Aug. 24 (3:00 PM ET) on FOX, leading into the NFL on FOX preseason matchup between the San Diego Chargers and San Francisco 49ers.
In this unique and comfortable setting, conversations, predictions and insight become the catch of the day. Here's a taste:
"I gotta ask, Randy. Your age right now, 37 years old, in a good offense, how many touchdowns can you score?"
-- Peter Schrager
"10 plus."
-- Randy Moss
"Aaron Rodgers ... man, he's a different breed of quarterback. There's not another quarterback in the league like Aaron Rodgers."
-- Randy Moss
"The team that's really going to surprise people is Tampa Bay. With Lovie (Smith) coming in there, they've got a great defense; two good safeties; pretty good corners for Cover 2, Lavonte David, one of the best linebackers in the NFL, and the best thing is Josh McCown. I think that was a great signing for them."
-- Brian Urlacher
"Watch out for Clemson ... that game against Florida State in Tallahassee. If they win, they are going to be dangerous."
-- Joel Klatt
"So, last year, I said Jameis Winston as a red-shirt freshman was my dark horse to win the Heisman. Myles Jack is the guy I am I'm looking at this year."
-- Joel Klatt
All fun aside, the essence of the fishing trip revolved around competition, with total length of fish caught as the measuring stick. With guest appearances from coaching great and NFL on FOX analyst Jimmy Johnson, and Mike Pereira, former NFL VP of Officiating and current Rules Analyst for FOX Sports, the contest comes down to the last fish.
"Four guys fishing on a boat and talking football happens every day all around this country ... and we think we captured that in a special way," said Michael Bloom, FOX Sports SVP of Original Programming. "No fish stories here ... just incredible insight into the coming NFL season and good times."
