On today's Feel Good Friday Pat, AJ Hawk, and the boys hit on all things sports, including the FCS Week zero upsets, NFL’s preseason coming to a close this weekend, baseball having a night with Chris Sale pitching a gem, college football week 0, and more. They are joined by a LOADED slate of guests kicking off with ESPN Senior Writer and Golf Reporter Mark Schlabach who is live from the Tour Championship where he discusses Scottie Scheffler going into this weekend, and then takes a dive into college ball. Atlanta Braves ace pitcher Chris Sale talks about his big night on the mound after throwing his first complete game shutout since 2018, clocking 101.1mph on the gun against Shohei, and the culture of the Braves locker room and how he continues to perform at a high level at 37-years old. NFL Legend JJ Watt chats about his move to the #1 NFL Game Analyst on CBS, JAMS, the Houston Texans, Deshaun Watson and his current job status with the Cleveland Browns, and his overall opinion on the importance of the preseason, NFL Analyst for ESPN Peter Schrager gives some insight on Fernando Mendoza the how the season may look for him with the Las Vegas Raiders, then touches on Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams’ relationship, and last but certainly not least from Pro Football Ireland Michael McQuaid live from J.R. Mahon’s where he speaks glowingly about NFL ball and how much it would mean to get professional games to the Irish people.
