TRANSCRIPT Bullseye with Jesse Thorn: Remembering Willie Colón

Mar 07, 2026 |

By Willie Colon, Hector Lavoe

| Maximum Fun

(ADVERTISEMENT) Transition: Gentle, trilling music with a steady drumbeat plays under the dialogue. Promo: Bullseye with Jesse Thorn is a production of MaximumFun.org and is distributed by NPR. Music: “Huddle Formation” from the album Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team—a fast, upbeat, peppy song. Music plays as Jesse speaks, then fades out. Jesse Thorn: It is Bullseye. I’m Jesse Thorn. Willie Colón died last month. He was 75.

Willie Colon played offensive line for Mike Tomlin on the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2007 to 2012. Tomlin walked away as head coach of the Steelers earlier this month after 19 seasons. The Steelers won the Super Bowl in February 2006. When Pittsburgh drafted me in April that year, the team was on fire, and they walked and talked like it.
