On this edition of Thursday Night Tailgate we are joined by former Redskins, Cowboys, Bills, and Browns Guard turned Broadcaster Ross Tucker, former Patriots Pro Bowl RB Tony Collins, former BC Lions WR Marco Iannuzzi, former Chiefs & Jets Pro Bowl Kicker Nick Lowery, and former Houston Oilers DB Cris Dishman.
Ross Tucker - Ross talked about his college playing days at Princeton, how he got in and managed to be a two time Academic All-American. He said it's all in class choices you make. He shared the story of the brawl he and his Redskins teammate LaVarr Arrington got into during practice that could have ended very badly. He also talked about how he got into broadcasting and where you'll be able to hear him this Fall.
Tony Collins - This week we got Tony's thoughts on the domestic violence cases we heard about this week with Brandon Browner and Shady McCoy.
Marco Iannuzzi - Marco retired from the BC Lions of the CFL at the end of last season. He said why at age 31 he decided to walk away and the impact CTE and 2 major concussions had on his decision. Marco is a graduate of both Harvard and MIT and he shared stories of playing in "The Game", Harvard vs. Yale.
Nick Lowery - We carried the theme of CTE over to our discussion with Nick who is working with a company creating molecules that can help the brain cushion itself and potentially regenerate damaged cells. We also got his thoughts on the new kickoff rules and the difficulties the officials will in determininig any associated penalties. Prepare for more yellow flags...
Cris Dishman - We started out with Cris talking about his college playing days at Purdue and playing alongside Rod Woodson. Their freshman year they swept Notre Dame, Ohio State and Michigan, be coming the first Purdue team to ever do that. When he got to Houston Nick Saban was the DB Coach and Cris shared what it was like playing for him. We also heard what it was like showing up in training camp as a rookie 5th round pick and trying to make a name for yourself going up against Warren Moon, Ernest Giving, Drew Hill and Haywood Jeffires at practice.
