Former NFL Lineman Geoff Schwartz joins the show to tell the story of how his wedding day landed on the same day as legal tampering. How he was with his groomsmen, readying to walk the aisle while making the decision to join the NY Giants. Then Geoff gives his thoughts on why having a star center and star tight end is the latest chapter in the continuing evolution of professional football. He says it's in response to the plethora of incredible pass rushers. He adds that all the talk about how hard it is on the players to move is ridiculous. You're rich. You're fine.
