Highlighting HBCUs: Southern University legends Aeneas Williams and Coach Pete Richardson detail the past, present and future of HBCU football Apr 01, 2021

Show notes

It's a special week in the college football landscape. On Saturday, Southern University plays Jackson State, so we thought this was the perfect opportunity to further highlight HBCU football, following our conversation with Mel Blount a few weeks ago. On this episode, we feature an outstanding chat with Southern alum and Pro Football Hall of Famer Aeneas Williams as well as longtime Southern coach Pete Richardson. Both men are to be commended for their storied careers and efforts to further elevate HBCU football. Aeneas and Coach each share their path to Southern and detail the history of HBCUs with a focus on the representation within the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We shift our focus to this week with that matchup between the Jaguars and Tigers and beyond just one game, the importance of the legendary Deion Sanders now being associated with HBCUs. Aeneas and Coach detail how the NFL can help HBCUs and how HBCUs themselves can make themselves more attractive to high school athletes. We hope you enjoy this special!

Rondale Moore on crazy Pro Day performance, Tyreek Hill comparisons, beating Ohio State and returning kicks Mar 31, 2021

Show notes

Rondale Moore is far from the biggest prospect that will be selected in the 2021 NFL Draft, but he might be one of the most athletic and most skilled. On this episode, the former Purdue wide receiver joins Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to discuss his path to the draft (22:15). But first, P2 and BMac chop it up on the draft process they went through. Pat knew he was leaving school early, but how did he go about hiring an agent (1:15)? The namesake of the segment felt super confident heading into 'Has Pat Heard!?' but can he secure a perfect score this week as we discuss draft trades and the approval of a 17-game NFL season (9:15)? '21 Questions' answers a question from the fans on draft evaluations as we continue the theme of the show (13:30). Then, it's time to welcome in our speedster of a guest, Rondale Moore (22:15). First up, we have to discuss the epic Pro Day performance that Rondale submitted last week, one that was highlighted by a 4.29 second 40-yard dash and 42.5" vertical leap. Moore responds to concerns about his size, how he ended up with the Boilermakers and his high school exploits. And that's not just limited to football. We learn about his basketball playing days with Romeo Langford (now of the Boston Celtics). Rondale recalls Purdue's famous win over Ohio State in 2018 and details his interest in the return game. We tap into this WR class, his pro comps and end on Superlatives!

Patrick Peterson explains decision to sign 1-year deal with the Vikings and remembers 10 years with the Cardinals Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

After a decade in the desert, Patrick Peterson will have a new football home in 2021. P2 explains his decision to sign with the Vikings. What was enticing about the situation in Minnesota? What can the team accomplish this season? Pat breaks down his new team before looking back on his old team. It was a great run with the Cardinals that comes with great memories. It wasn't easy leaving Arizona, but those 10 years will always be remembered fondly as a time and a place where he cemented his legacy.

Jameis Winston on Bucs' Super Bowl win, love for Drew Brees, Saints' 2021 outlook, Florida State's 2013 title team Mar 24, 2021

Show notes

From being the youngest Heisman Trophy winner to the first overall pick to highs and lows as the Bucs starter to serving as the Saints backup QB, Jameis Winston has had a truly fascinating career to this point. On this episode, Winston discusses his past, present and future with fellow Seminole, Bryant McFadden. The guys start with a lengthy conversation on the Florida State days. Jameis details his love for baseball (2:30) and what led him to choosing FSU over in-state schools like Alabama and Auburn (5:40). We hear about his relationship with Jimbo Fisher (7:00), his mentality during his redshirt season (11:00) and get to relive the magic of the 2013 season that ended with a title and the most prestigious individual award out there (14:30). Why does that Noles team remain overlooked? And does Winston himself get enough credit for his outstanding collegiate career in which he only lost 1 game? The conversation then shifts focus to the NFL and the emotions of seeing your former team capture the Super Bowl. Jameis spent five seasons with Tampa Bay and shares some interesting thoughts on how he felt watching Tom Brady lead the Bucs to a boat parade (30:15). We uncover his reasons for joining the Saints (33:30), how much Drew Brees means to him (39:30) and his outlook on the upcoming QB competition with Taysom Hill (46:30). And we have to know: where did 'Eat a W' come from (51:30)? Superlatives signal the end of the show (54:00), but not before we ask for Jameis to name the best wide receiver in the NFC South.

Mel Blount on rule that carried his name, dominant Steelers defenses and importance of HBCUs + Is Patrick Peterson close to a free agency decision? Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

There are different ways to measure dominance. Some may consider stats or accolades, but very few players come along that literally force changes to the way the game is played. Mel Blount, the latest guest on All Things Covered, was a game-changer! The 1975 Defensive Player of the Year was so dominant that the league instituted the 'Mel Blount Rule,' to limit the contact defensive backs could make with wide receivers. Blount joined the show to discuss his reaction to that rule (which happened while he was still active), the vaunted 1976 Steelers' defense, Terry Bradshaw's toughness and the role of HBCUs in the football landscape (28:15). But first, hosts Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden chop it up themselves. Pat has a big decision looming as he breaks down the feeling of being a free agent for the first time in his career (1:15). The guys also reflect on Drew Brees' career after the official retirement announcement was made (4:45). "Has Pat Heard!?" delivers as always (8:30) and we offer a great tease for our guest in "21 Questions." P2 and BMac rank their Top 5 cornerbacks ever (16:00). You don't want to miss their lists. Here's a spoiler though: our guest Mel Blount appears on both of their Top 5 rankings. Next it's time to welcome Mel to show (28:15) He discusses attending an HBCU and how they can regain some of their athletic prominence. You can't mention Mel Blount without bringing up the "Mel Blount Rule" as we dive into the emotions following the league deciding his style of play would be restricted moving forward. The 4-time Super Bowl champ comments on film study in the 1970s, massive differences in the locker room, the greatest Steelers quarterback of all time and why Chuck Noll is often overlooked as one of the greatest coaches ever. Finally, Superlatives with a DB and Pittsburgh focus!

Nick Saban details how Dolphins/Drew Brees debacle changed the course of his career + the motivation for more at Alabama and College Football Playoff thoughts Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

The phrase 'GOAT' gets tossed around a lot these days. Quite frankly, it's used way too much. But it's not hyperbole when we use the term to describe our guest on this episode. 7-time national champion Nick Saban joins All Things Covered to discuss his NFL tenure, his future at Alabama and why he barely celebrates after winning title after title (27:00). But before we get to the GOAT, Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden chop it up. As an ode to our guest, Pat and BMac chat about the differences between college and the pros and their preferences at each level (1:20). The guys then cover Dak Prescott's mega-deal with the Dallas Cowboys that took way too long to get done (6:35). And why is Dak still treated unfairly? P2 has been very in-tune with the news, so we try to stump him today in the latest edition of 'Has Pat Heard!?" (15:35). And then in "21 Questions" we learn his favorite childhood team and dive into what will matter during Pat's upcoming free agency process (21:30). Next, the college football legend and current Alabama head coach Nick Saban joins the show (27:00). Saban talks little about his golf game before remembering Pat's infamous non-interception vs. the Crimson Tide in 2009. All these years later, was he in bounds? That play was just a part of the great battles with Julio Jones, which offers another trip down memory lane. Saban has dominated for nearly a decade and a half at Bama, but we revisit his time in the NFL with the Dolphins. Why did the Drew Brees deal fall apart and how did that influence the decision to return to the college coaching ranks? Saban offers great insight on that situation/debacle...Quarterbacks haven't been an issue in Tuscaloosa and that's partially because of the talent around them and what they are asked to do. Saban shares their philosophy at the position before commenting on his coaching future. He may be 69 years old, but that hasn't stopped his passion and desire to win. All things continue to be covered such as the possibility of a conference-only schedule, how quickly he thinks about the following season after winning titles and the possibility of the College Football Playoff expanding to 8 teams. Don't miss out on a truly legendary episode!

Antoine Walker remembers gambling for 36 hours straight with Michael Jordan, 1996 NBA Draft class, relationship with Paul Pierce and 2006 title with the Heat Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

We don't talk strictly football here at All Things Covered. We live up to our name! In honor of the NBA's All-Star weekend, Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden welcome 3-time All-Star himself, Antoine Walker, to the show. The guys discuss All-Star memories (2:30) which basically turn into memories of Michael Jordan. Antoine helped organize some pickup games for MJ which eventually led to gambling with MJ... And as you can imagine, those are some crazy stories. Listen for the wildest game of spades you've ever heard (8:00). 'Toine also covers the 1996 NBA Draft class and its place in league history as well as thoughts on Kobe Bryant (14:15). Antoine is closely linked with Paul Pierce for their days as the Celtics star duo (22:15). Pierce is presumably set to join the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame as we discover the "Truth's" competitive edge AND more on his wheelchair bathroom break during the 2008 NBA Finals. Walker wasn't part of that team and that's largely due to Danny Ainge. Why did they have a poor relationship? Antoine discusses the current version of the Celtics and whether they should have traded for James Harden when they had the chance (31:45). After winning a college title in 1996, he was able to win a pro title a decade later with the Heat. There was some legendary basketball and legendary partying that took place during that season to say the least (36:00). And of course we have to ask about Antoine's patented Shimmy (41:45) Superlatives wrap things up as we uncover the Top 5 Chicago players of all time (44:00)!

LeSean McCoy on winning back-to-back Super Bowls, Tom Brady's competitive edge, his own football future and Hall of Fame hopes Mar 03, 2021

Show notes

We thought we were the rabbit's foot for our podcast guests. It turns out this guest was the ultimate rabbit's foot for his past two teams. 2-time Super Bowl champion LeSean McCoy joins All Things Covered (32:00) to break down his titles with the Bucs and Chiefs, the similarities and differences between Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes, what's next for him and much more. But first, our hosts Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden chop it up on NFL Combine memories (1:30). Do they remember their numbers? Then we discuss the scary accident involving Tiger Woods last week and send our thoughts to Tiger and his family (8:15). LeBron James is bigger than basketball and has been for a while. No comments from an international soccer star will change that (12:30). "Has Pat Heard!?" offers a layup with the news of J.J. Watt signing with the Cardinals and tests P2 on if he has heard the latest with Russell Wilson trade rumors (17:30). "21 Questions" hits on a discussion from last week as the guys comment on the dangers of playing football (25:15). Next, it's time to welcome on the champ, LeSean McCoy (32:00). Shady breaks down the Super Bowl high as well as his experiences with the GOAT, Tom Brady, and the Baby GOAT, Patrick Mahomes. He spills on the Bucs group chat but won't spill on who was crying after the NFC Championship game. We then venture through McCoy's career, learning how he landed at Pitt and how influential Andy Reid has been for him from Philadelphia to Kansas City. Chip Kelly didn't have the same impact as we cover his Eagles tenure before focusing on his Bills days and a memorable moment from teammate Vontae Davis. Now that he has 2 rings, what does the future hold for the 6-time Pro Bowler? LeSean hints at his future on the show and also offers his thoughts on how much longer Tom Brady can play. Finally, Superlatives!

Derwin James on rehab process, Sean Taylor comparisons, Justin Herbert and Chargers' future Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

We needed a little more Florida State representation on the podcast, so we brought on a guest that literally has a Seminole tatted on him. Derwin James joins All Things Covered to discuss his health, his versatility on the field and 2021 expectations for the Chargers (33:00) But first, our hosts chop it up on that viral video featuring Cam Newton and a young camper (1:45). What are the dangers of seeking social media fame? Patrick and Bryant also share their thoughts and emotions on the untimely passing of Vincent Jackson (8:00). Jackson was selected one spot ahead of BMac in the 2005 NFL Draft and played alongside Pat in two Pro Bowls. The guys were shocked and saddened to hear the news and hope the NFL continues to implement more programs to help retired players. We transition to 'Has Pat Heard!?' testing his knowledge of recent news events (18:30). Carson Wentz was traded, Tim Tebow retired from baseball and Deion Sanders made his head coaching debut. But how much did P2 know before we asked/told him? Next up is '21 Question' where you get to find out the most underrated players our duo have gone up against (26:15). Then, we welcome former first-round pick and former All-Pro, Derwin James (33:00). Derwin shares how his rehab process is going and informs us of a trip to the Bahamas he took alongside Pat and Jalen Ramsey to work on their craft. We learn how Polk County helped shape his football path, as did having several family members that would make it to the NFL. Derwin addresses the folklore that he lined up at nose guard in high school and speaks about his versatility on the field, which has garnered Sean Taylor comparisons. Derwin recollects his commitment to Florida State which was stamped with a tattoo during. Listen to hear 2018 Draft memories, thoughts on Justin Herbert and new Chargers coach Brandon Staley. Superlatives close us out as Derwin tells us who he hates more: Florida or Miami...

Larry Foote details Tampa Bay's dominant defense and the impact Tom Brady & Antonio Brown had on Bucs locker room during Super Bowl season Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

This week we welcome someone who was just crowned a Super Bowl champion for the third time in their football career, but for the first time as a coach. Bucs outside linebackers coach, and former teammate of both Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden, Larry Foote joins All Things Covered and shares some insight on Tom Brady's personality, Tampa Bay's game plan to disrupt the Chiefs and memories of playing with the Steelers and under the legendary Dick LeBeau (38:00). But first, our hosts chop it up on what sport they would have pursued more seriously if football hadn't panned out (1:30)? Pat's name has been in the headlines since high school so recent reports regarding his future with the Cardinals are nothing new for him to deal with. But how does he handle it all (7:30)? P2 and BMac then head around the league (11:45), catching up on an unhappy "curly-haired" Rusell Wilson and J.J. Watt's release from Houston. "Has Pat Heard?" tests what he has been tapped into in the past week (20:45) and the return of "21 Questions" gives the listeners the chance to ask the guys some questions (26:00). If you want to be a part of the show, leave a question attached to a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts and we could answer it on a future episode! Next, Larry Foote joins for a wildly entertaining conversation (38:00). Foote was college teammates with Tom Brady at Michigan so he's able to share a long history with the GOAT. We also learn about BMac's recruiting trip to Ann Arbor (hosted by Larry) and more secrets from that frigid weekend in 1999. Foote was not only a teammate of Pat and Bryant, but he also was a former teammate of Antonio Brown and details what it was like adding him to the Bucs roster midseason. The trio also covers the NFL's hiring process, Bruce Arians' staff-building technique, the keys to Super Bowl LV and coaching Jason Pierre-Paul and Shaquil Barrett. There's lots of Bucs talk but also plenty of focus on the Steelers and Cardinals as well. We test trivia knowledge and finish with Superlatives as always and as the trash talk continues!
