b'Mark Moseley on how he connected with the Murrell family and Five Guys~\\n\\n"We loaded up in his car, went over to his dad\'s house, the rest is history. His dad jumped out of his chair about two hours later, grabbed my hand, and said, "Hey, let\'s make this happen. Let\'s have fun doing it." I\'m still today, 16 years later, working on a handshake. That\'s how honest these people are. Jerry and Janie, they are some of the best people."\\n\\nMark Moseley, NFL Most Valuable Player Placekicker - Washington Redskins - and Andy Ockershausen in studio interview\\n\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tThis is Our Town. This is Andy Ockershausen with a very special, very dear friend, very successful ex kicker in the National Football League. There\'s not many of those that are still alive that were successful, but Mark Moseley then became a, and still has become a very successful business man. I think he\'s a role model for so many football players now. Mark played ...\\nNFL Placekicker\\nMark Moseley:\\tA kicker being a role model?\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tHe kicked for the Cleveland Browns, the Houston Oilers, and the SuperBowl Champion, Washington Redskin.\\nMark Moseley:\\tAnd I was drafted by the Eagles.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tIs that right? Number one by the Eagles.\\nMark Moseley:\\tMy number was three.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tOh, was that it?\\nMark Moseley:\\tBut I was drafted, what was it? In the 14th round. They had 18 rounds back then and I was ...\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tYou didn\'t play for them.\\nMark Moseley:\\tI did my first, my rookie year. 1970, I played for the Eagles.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tWell, we missed that, but I didn\'t know that, but we forgive you for that.\\nMark Moseley:\\tWell, now you know it. I know you don\'t forget anything.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tMark, knowing you as a kicker and watching you all these years, you always had us in suspense. Will he or won\'t he? Fortunately, he did 300 out of 457 in his career. That\'s a tremendous successful rate. Scored a total of 1,382 points. He\'s been so successful and he now serves the best hamburger in the world with over 3,500 stores. Here comes Five Guys and Mark Moseley. Mark, welcome to Our Town.\\nMark Moseley:\\tThank you, thank you, thank you. I\'m glad to be here.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tYou know, we\'ve been trying to get you for a long time, because 10 years ago we had a reunion of sorts with a lot of friends of mine and a party that we had at Comcast and did a show out of it. Mark was there and appreciated so much, but then to watch his career, I think that was the first time in public that I had the chance to say "Mark Moseley\'s with Five Guys." Because most of the audience, and we had a pretty good crowd there, guys you grew up with, did not know that. Mark, that was 10 years ago and you\'ve been so successful.\\nMark Moseley:\\tYeah. Well, I think it was your 80th birthday, wasn\'t it?\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tIt was, correct.\\nMark Moseley:\\tI believe. It was a great night.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tIt was a fabulous party.\\nMark Moseley:\\tYou had a lot of good people that ...\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tWe had five Hall of Famers of the National Football League. I don\'t know why, they all needed work, I guess. God bless him, Sam Huff. We both have great feelings for Sam, and telling some stories about him. He\'s lost the edge now and he\'s really out there. It\'s so sad. \\nNFL Hall of Famer Sam Huff - Friend and Mentor\\nMark Moseley:\\tI tell you what, he\'s a great friend. Sam was known as the big hitter. He was the guy. For him to be friends with a kicker, was not real kosher. For some reason, Sam took to me and we\'ve been friends ever since. \\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tThat\'s good protection for you. \\nMark Moseley:\\tWell, he was already retired when I came to Washington here in \'74, but he was still doing the radio show. He was doing the games. I got to know him real well. I\'ve participated in his golf tournaments for charities and his West Virginia Breeder\'s Cup. \\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tA good citizen, as you say Mark, like you were.'
