Former Baltimore Colts Running Back Tom Matte passed away on Wednesday at the age of 82. Tom played for the Colts for 12-years, making a name as a gritty, hard-nosed player that would do anything for the team. Matte once said about his career, "I was sort of the jack of all trades and master of none." Nothing illustrates that more than when he filled in at quarterback for an injured Johnny Unitas and back-up Gary Cuozzo for two weeks in 1965. Matte led the Colts to a 20-17 victory over in the '65 season finale and then almost beat Vince Lombardi's Packers in a one-game playoff, falling short 13-10. Matte then played five more season for the Colts, earning Pro Bowl honors, as well as a Championship ring, in 1968. Matte was also the first player to rush for over 100 yards in a Super Bowl in the Colts now-famous loss to the Jets in Super Bowl III. Matte and the Colts would end up winning a Super Bowl in 1970, beating the Cowboys 16 to 13, though Matte did not play due to injury. He would play his final game as a Colt in 1972.
After his playing career, Matte started a second career as a broadcaster, a job that would help cement him as a Baltimore-legend. Tom called Maryland Football games with the legendary Johnny Holliday for four years and then joined former Fan host, and current O's broadcaster, Scott Garceau in the booth to call Ravens games. From 1996 to 2005, Tom and Scott were the voice of the Ravens and called some of the more memorable games in the franchise's history. On Thursday, Scott joined the Big Bad Morning Show to talk about the 40-years he spent with his colleague and friend, Tom Matte.
