FTGOTG S2, E11 | These self-proclaimed "Seminole brothers for life" epitomize our theme of relationships for Season 2! This candid interview with former Florida State cornerbacks Bobby Jackson (BoJack) and Bobby Butler demonstrates how strong bonds formed in the locker room and on the field can last a lifetime!
Bobby Jackson didn't start playing "organized" football until he got into high school. His natural talent and help from a high school teammate vaulted him into an opportunity at Florida State...an opportunity he maximized, to say the least. He was drafted by the New York Jets in the 6th round of the 1978 NFL Draft and started all 16 games of his rookie season! BoJack was ultimately selected to the "All-Time Jet Team" as one of the top three corners in the history of the New York Jets. He finished his Jets career with 21 interceptions. After a brief stay with the Atlanta Falcons and an untimely injury, he retired in 1986. His stellar career at FSU ('74-'77) earned him induction into the FSU Hall of Fame in 1993.
Bobby Butler chose Florida State based on a single (unofficial) visit and a very impactful conversation with Coach Bobby Bowden. In his mind, he felt playing at FSU for Coach Bowden was "meant to be." As it turned out, the example and mentorship shown by BoJack were hugely instrumental in Bobby's long-term success...at FSU and in the NFL. He was selected by the Atlanta Falcons with the 25th overall pick in the 1st round of the 1981 NFL Draft. Bobby played his entire 12-year career with the Falcons, playing in 169 games during which he accumulated 27 interceptions! He retired after the 1992 season.
Despite being smaller athletes, both men possessed world-class speed and were known for ferocity in their manner of play. While they were fortunate to play for legendary head coach Bobby Bowden at the beginning of his FSU career, they leveraged the opportunity to achieve success. Both BoJack and Bobby excelled in the system and culture under Coach Bowden and created their respective niche...each in his own class!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
