On this edition of Thursday Night Tailgate we're joined by: Billy Sample, Tony Collins, Randy Fuller, Russell Baxter, & Cyndy Feasel.

Billy Sample - Billy is one of the funniest individuals you'll ever be around. Billy gave us his insights into what we saw during the World Series, his time playing for the Rangers and Yankees, plus what it was like being on the losing high school state championship team that we saw in the movie "Remember the Titans".

Tony Collins - Former Patriots Pro Bowl RB Tony Collins joins us to go through our 5 Star Picks of the Week.

Randy Fuller - Former Steelers & Falcons DB Randy Fuller, who now lives in Houston, talks about the city's recovery from Hurricane Harvey, its excitement over the Astros World Series championship, its disappointment over the season ending knee injury of Deshaun Watson, plus his insights on the Steelers defense this season.

Russell Baxter - Russell shares his thoughts on the trade that wasn't between the Bengals and Browns, why the Browns never get any better, the Jimmy Garropolo trade, the future of Kirk Cousins, and the QB free agent market this off season.

Cyndy Feasel - Cyndy is the widow of former Colts and Seahawks Center Grant Feasel. Grant passed away in 2012, his official cause of death was cirrhosis of the liver but later they discovered he had stage 3 CTE. Cyndy talked about the emotional toll that Grant's alcoholism and personality change took on her  wife and how confusing it was watching him change. She thought it was the alcohol he used to deal with the physical pain he was always in, but later learned that was likely just masking the effects of CTE. You can hear her story on the show plus get more of the details in her book titled, "After The Cheering Stops" which is available on Amazon.com
