John Smoltz on 2021 vs. 1995 Braves comparisons, coming back from Tommy John surgery, pitching vs. Pedro Martinez, golfing with Tiger Woods Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

We're straying away from the gridiron on this episode and taking it to the diamond. And there's no one better to have on on the heels of a Braves World Series title than someone who has his #29 retired by the organization, John Smoltz. The Hall of Fame pitcher and Emmy award winning broadcaster covers everything from his golf course exploits to Atlanta's recent championship to the franchise's dominance in the 1990s. Smoltz first lets us in on how big of a sports nut he is and if we could see a golf matchup between him and Tony Romo. He then compares and contrasts the 2021 Braves to the 1995 Braves. John details his start day superstitions and which pitcher he enjoyed dueling with the most. The former ace breaks down going up against his childhood idol Jack Morris in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series, the advancements of Tommy John surgery, and how many titles the Braves should have won during their stretch of dominances in the 90s and early 2000s. He also dishes some suggestions on how to make baseball more attractive to younger audiences. Finally, the Superlatives section of the show where Smoltz lists his all-time 6-man rotation plus his dream golf foursome and more!

Show notes

The Cookie Monster himself, Dalvin Cook, joins Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to discuss his football journey. And the starting point of that journey is in Miami at Miami Central High School. Dalvin explains his exploits on that level before doing more of the same at Florida State. That success led him to getting drafted by the Vikings in 2017, in a crazy competitive rookie RB draft class. Cook breaks down comparisons he got to Adrian Peterson once joining Minnesota and how he dealt with the adversity of tearing his ACL in his rookie season. He tells Pat P and BMac what led to his breakout in 2020 and what it meant to sign an extension with the Vikings. Dalvin also broke some news on the show that he'll be switching from #33 to #4 next season. Is this the best he has seen Kirk Cousins play? We hear about the current state of #SKOL before jumping into some fun Superlatives!

Jared Cook on playing with Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Justin Herbert, Chargers' chances in 2021 and more career highlights Oct 14, 2021

Show notes

Somehow, we've incidentally neglected the tight end position over the year-plus history of All Things Covered. That changes on this episode as we welcome one of the best TEs over the past decade, Jared Cook. Cook details making a position switch at the suggestion of Steve Spurrier in college and how that changed his career path. He then discusses his pro career which includes 6 different stops from being a rookie with the Titans to a 13-year vet now with the Chargers. And over that span, Jared has caught passes from some excellent quarterbacks including future Hall of Famers Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. He describes one of his most memorable moments, being on the receiving end of a brilliant Rodgers throw in the 2016 playoffs vs. the Cowboys, and what clicked so well with Brees more recently in New Orleans. Then, it's time to talk about his current situation and the remarkable young QB at the helm of the Chargers. Cook breaks down what makes Justin Herbert so special already with an even higher ceiling. Superlatives wrap this chat!
