NFL Legends Shawn Wooden, Tony Collins, Ed Marinaro, & Blaine Bishop Join Us...

Shawn Wooden played his college ball at Notre Dame and he shares the story of how Joe Paterno actually helped him get attention from several Division 1 schools but resulted in him accepting a scholarship to Notre Dame over Penn State. We also hear about: his big play that saved the game against #1 Florida State, how he played the latter part of that game with a torn ACL, the nastiness that goes on at the bottom of the pile when you recover a fumble, his 2 interceptions off Jim Harbaugh in a game against the Colts in 1997, and what it was like playing alongside Dolphins legends like Louis Oliver and Zach Thomas.

Former Patriots Pro Bowl RB Tony Collins shares memories from his Pro Bowl experience in 1983. We hear about legends like Tony Dorsett, Earl Campbell, Jack Lambert, and others he played with or got to spend time with that week. Plus, how his Patriots Head Coach Raymond Berry, kept them away from the media as they prepared for the 1985 AFC Championship game.

Ed Marinaro talked about his college days playing at Cornell, breaking the college all-time rushing record, playing in Super Bowls 8 & 9 with the Vikings, going against the Purple People Eaters in practice, going home to New York to play for the Jets alongside Joe Namath, and his transition to acting.

Blaine Bishop talked about how he ended up playing his college ball at Ball State, what the transition was like going from there to playing for the Houston Oilers and Defensive Coordinator Buddy Ryan, trying to make a name for himself as a rookie going against Warren Moon, Ernest Givings, Haywood Jeffires, and Webster Slaughter at practice, and what it was like facing Joe Montana and the Chiefs in the playoff during his rookie year.
