EP 53 // DEMARCUS WARE ON PLAYING WITH T.O. & PEYTON MANNING & HOW TO STOP QB GREATS BRADY & MAHOMES Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

For 12 seasons in the NFL, linebacker DeMarcus Ware was a nightmare who kept QBs awake at night. A nine-time Pro Bowler with the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos, Super Bowl 50 champion, and second fastest player to record 100 sacks, he’s a lock for the Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible in 2022. On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” DeMarcus joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about how to stop Super Bowl QBs Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes, playing on monstrous Cowboys teams with T.O., the difference between those teams and the Peyton Manning-led Broncos he ultimately won a Super Bowl with, meeting T.O. for the first time and what he was really like as a teammate, Peyton Manning being down AF, the reason he isn’t bitter about Cowboys owner Jerry Jones releasing him after nine seasons, why he wasn’t a trash talker despite his many sacks, the offensive tackle who gave him fits for years, his “Driven to Win” (D2W) fitness app, and much more. Getcha popcorn ready, people!

A tough competitor with a sharp basketball mind, Mark Jackson has succeeded at multiple positions within the game.

On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” Mark joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about why he hasn’t gotten another NBA head coaching job since reviving the Dubs and establishing a winning culture, what it was like coaching young Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, the challenges rookie Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash faces with superstars Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving and how he would fix the Big 3’s issues, who’s to blame for Harden’s contentious exit from the Houston Rockets, the unexpected reason he thinks the Lakers’ title won in the Orlando bubble deserves an asterisk, how he and Chris Mullin improved each other at St. John’s University, finding mentorship in the NBA, and much more.

EP 50 // GARY SHEFFIELD ON RACISM IN BASEBALL, DEREK JETER’S ADVICE TO HIM & HALL OF FAME EXCLUSION Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

During his 22 years in Major League Baseball, pitchers feared Gary Sheffield’s bat so much that they often walked or beaned him rather than have him knock the stitches off of one of their pitches. On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” the 1997 World Series champion joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about how his misunderstood character and personality created conflict with teams and sports media (much like T.O.’s), the importance of teammates having your back and the advice Derek Jeter gave him to quiet his critics, why he would go the extra mile for some clubs but not others, the guidance his superstar uncle, pitcher Dwight “Doc” Gooden, gave him and how it may relate to Doc’s substance abuse issues, racism in baseball and the decreasing number of African-American players, being excluded from the Hall of Fame, how he’s helping the next generation of athletes as a sports agent, and much more!

EP 47 // RANDY MOSS ON TENSION WITH T.O. & WHY HE’S THE BEST NFL RECEIVER EVER (SORRY, JERRY RICE) Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

Randy Moss and Terrell Owens are in the top three of any serious and rational debate about the best wide receivers in the history of football, but which of them is actually better? In part two of his two-part appearance on “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” Randy joins T.O. and Hatch to debate his and T’s careers and who the best NFL wide receiver of all time is, going beyond statistics to find a true measure of greatness. Plus, Randy and T.O. clear the air about a couple things that have been bothering them — T.O. no-showing to their 2018 Hall of Fame induction ceremony and Randy not speaking up about T.O.’s conspicuous omission from the NFL 100. Can two of the greatest NFL wide receivers of all time sort out their differences and see eye to eye?

EP 46 // RANDY MOSS ON COMPETING WITH T.O., TOM BRADY MAGIC & WHAT MADE BELICHICK’S PATRIOTS GREAT Dec 08, 2020

Show notes

Randy Moss and Terrell Owens are inextricably linked. Two of the greatest wide receivers to ever play in the NFL, they laced up in the same era, dominated, and were always compared to each other. In part one of his two-part appearance on “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” Randy joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about whether the Vikings or 49ers had the better receiver corps, competing with T.O. and the time Tom Brady helped him one-up T.O.’s four-TD game, why the two superstars never realized their dream to jointly host an annual wide receiver camp, relationships with QBs and other teammates, his struggle to feel like part of a team, T.O.’s gutsy Super Bowl performance, whether they could have played on an offense together, and more. Be sure to catch it like Moss and T.O. in the end zone!
