Notable takes from this show
Verbatim excerpts from published episode transcripts, linked to the moment each one was said.
“Former NFL center Justin Britt spent most of his career with the Seattle Seahawks where he started on the offensive line. These days, his competition looks a little bit different. This past weekend, Justin ran the United Airlines NYC Half in 131:11.”
“Our guest today is a New York sports legend and one of my heroes as a lifelong New York Giants fan. Tiki Barber spent 10 seasons as a running back for the Giants before retiring from the NFL in 2006.”
