T.J. Watt on DPOY race, sack records, Steelers 2021 season, Big Ben's future, scuffle with Joe Burrow and more Dec 23, 2021

Show notes

The best pass rusher in the game, T.J. Watt, joins Bryant McFadden as the current Steeler and former Steeler cover it all! They begin with Watt's football background and growing up in a football family in Wisconsin. T.J. shares his first thoughts when Badgers' coaches asked him to switch sides of the ball and how he was able to pick up defense. He then expresses how grateful he is to be in Pittsburgh and to have been drafted by the Steelers organization. The 5th-year pro discusses battling James Harrison for a starting spot as a rookie and then breaks down some technical aspects of rushing the passer. Watt just passed Harrison as the Steelers single-season sack leader and now could break the all-time NFL record that Michael Strahan holds for sacks in a single season. If he does that, he'll win Defensive Player of the Year, an honor he has been snubbed of the past two seasons. And trust us, T.J. doesn't forget not winning! We hear about playing with Ben Roethlisberger and for Mike Tomlin before heading to the Superlatives part of our show. T.J. shares which brother is late more often (he or Derek), the QB he wants to sack next and what happened on a play with him and Joe Burrow earlier this season.

Show notes

We cover it all from football to boxing on this episode featuring Frank Gore. He dominated for nearly two decades on the gridiron and this weekend he takes his talents inside the boxing ring. Before we focus on the big fight, we go back in time to Frank's days as a Miami Hurricane and competing for reps out of the backfield with the likes of Clinton Portis and Willis McGahee. He discusses bouncing back from 2 ACL tears in college to competing against our host Bryant McFadden in that heated Miami vs. Florida State rivalry. The guys then bounce to the pros as Gore explains how the 49ers benefited from Jim Harbaugh's arrival and if his former coach will ever return to the NFL. What is the one thing that Frank Gore would change about Super Bowl 47? Our guest gives a great answer! He also details Colin Kaepernick taking over in San Fran, his case for Canton and what it's like seeing his son, Frank Gore Jr., excel at the college level at Southern Miss. Then it's time to talk the business at hand this weekend. Frank previews his boxing match vs Deron Williams and also if he'd entertain coming back to the NFL after this fight!
