NFLifestyle

Former NFL Safety Bernard Pollard joins the pod this week to talk about his 9 yr NFL career, his post-NFL life & business endeavors, his "HBO Hard Knocks" moment and we settle a personal score from the IU-Purdue Old Oaken Bucket game in 2005.

Checking in with an old pal and former NFL offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger who's now a radio host for Xtra 1360 in San Diego. Rich gives us an idea of how and when he started thinking about a transition from the NFL into the media and doesn't give me enough credit for launching his media career with an old interview clip you'll also hear in this episode. Rich gives his thoughts on the state of the NFL fan in San Diego as well.

The 'Move the Sticks' podcast joins the NFLifestyle pod here for episode 5. My guys DJ & Bucky who are also with me on NFL Network's Path to the Draft show (weekdays, 6pm EST) gave us some (maybe never before told?) insight into their path from playing ball to scouting in the NFL to becoming multimedia superstars. This episode also complete with some fantastically entertaining stories of futility that could only be told by a couple former scouts. We also dive into evaluating college prospects who have interests and passions outside of football that could very well end up on a future NFLifestyle podcast episode.

Episode 4 takes us to the 2017 NFL Combine in Indianapolis and also represents a shift in the podcast towards focusing on players' passions and interests off the field. There is no better place, time, or person to begin that shift with then here in Indy with former Colts Punter Pat McAfee. We go in-depth with Pat on his surprise retirement, chasing his passion, the new partnership with Barstool Sports and an endgame loaded with ambition. So, come for football & comedy, stay for the white belts, canes, cats & the ideal Indianapolis day.
