George Jones, Tony Collins, Matt Cushing, & LeRoy Irvin Join Us...

George Jones shares his story of growing up without a father or any parental guidance, being adopted by a friend's parents, going from Greenville, South Carolina to playing Junior College football all the way across the country at Bakersfield College in California, then on to breaking Marshall Faulk's records at San Diego State, and finally being drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tony Collins leads us through our 5 Star Picks of the Week for the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Matt Cushing talks about his college days playing at the University of Illinois. He shares stories from the 6 times the Pittsburgh Steelers cut him, brought him back due to his willingness to learn multiple positions, and his thoughts on the Steelers/Chiefs playoff game.

LeRoy Irvin talks about what it was like being drafted by the Rams following their appearance in the 1979 Super Bowl, what it was like trying to make it on a defense featuring multiple future Hall of Famers, what it was like covering Jerry Rice for a decade, and how their DBs recognized QB & WR tendencies, formations, and play calls.
