EP 31 // MITCH RICHMOND ON RUN TMC’S BREAKUP, PLAYING JORDAN & HOW HE REALLY FEELS ABOUT HIS RING Aug 18, 2020

Show notes

Hall of Fame shooting guard Mitch Richmond has many accomplishments — 1989 NBA Rookie of the Year, six All-Star teams, five All-NBA teams, and a ring with the 2001–2002 Shaq-Kobe Lakers — but he is best remembered as one-third of “Run TMC,” Golden State’s short-lived but highly influential fast-paced offense with Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway. On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” Mitch joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about football being his first love, transitioning to basketball with a football player’s mentality and developing his game, how Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler changed his college career path, being a part of “Run TMC” and how that trio stacks up against modern “big threes,” what happened behind the scenes when Don Nelson traded him to struggling Sacramento, his experience trying to carry the Kings, playing against rival shooting guard Michael Jordan, how he feels about winning a ring with the Lakers despite Phil Jackson hardly playing him, and much more!

At only 5’7”, former Jacksonville Jaguars star running back Maurice Jones-Drew was small for the NFL, but his game was as big as they come. On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” three-time Pro Bowler MJD joins T.O. & Hatch to talk about the mentality that allowed him to excel against much bigger opponents, why an NFL season starting — and actually finishing — is highly unlikely, what he would break quarantine for, going undefeated at De La Salle High School and how the program’s mindset helped him turn around UCLA’s losing football culture, the reality of his relationship with crosstown rival Reggie Bush, getting sonned by DeMarcus Ware, what’s missing from Saquon Barkley’s game, his top five RBs of all time, and more! Once again, MJD comes up huge! Yee! Follow us on social media!

EP 27 // ANTHONY BARR ON HIS SOCIAL JUSTICE TALKS WITH ROGER GOODELL & MINNEAPOLIS’ POLICE CHIEF Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

Anthony Barr doesn’t shout or get in people’s faces, but there’s no question he’s a leader. The veteran Minnesota Vikings outside linebacker leads by example on the field, but it’s his work outside the lines — fighting for social justice and equality — that is most impressive. On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” Anthony joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about leadership and longevity in the NFL, his work on the Vikings’ Social Justice Committee, meeting with the Minneapolis chief of police and officers in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, his call with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell discussing the league’s actions to combat internal and external racism, the importance of getting players to vote, switching from offense to defense at UCLA, why he’s still not playing in his ideal position, and much more. It’s a hard-hitting ep you don’t want to miss! Yee! Follow us on social media!

EP 26 // SANTANA MOSS ON WASHINGTON’S NAME CHANGE, DAN SNYDER HATE & WHAT’S MISSING AT “THE U” Jul 14, 2020

Show notes

Having played 10 of his 14 NFL seasons in Washington, retired wide receiver Santana Moss has strong feelings about the franchise, from its controversial name, to its owner and on-field struggles. On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” Santana joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about his experience playing in Washington, how learning the team’s name is a racial slur led him to discover his own Native American heritage and support a name change, why he thinks much-criticized owner Daniel Snyder gets a bad rap, his push to get slain teammate Sean Taylor’s number officially retired, and more. Plus, Santana, who grew up in Miami and broke receiving records as a walk-on at the University of Miami, talks about what makes the city’s football culture so special, the stacked Hurricanes teams he played on, what the current program lacks, paving a path for shorter receivers, and his personal top five wide receivers of all time — with a couple names that will definitely surprise you.

EP 25 // TYREEK HILL ON WHY SPEED ISN’T WHAT MAKES HIM GREAT, SCARY COVID EXPERIENCES & RACING T.O. Jul 07, 2020

Show notes

Super Bowl champion and 4x Pro Bowler Tyreek “Cheetah” Hill has always been fast AF, but sharpening his route-running has made the return specialist turned wide receiver an absolute beast for the Kansas City Chiefs. Without him, it’s unlikely that KC’s record-breaking offense would be so explosive or that the team would have won its first Super Bowl in 50 years last February. On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” Tyreek joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about transitioning to wideout, why speed isn’t what makes him great, what it was like when his nurse mom was on the front lines fighting the pandemic and when his dad contracted Covid-19, the possibility of not seeing his family for an extended period during the upcoming NFL season and training camps, how star QB Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs organization have been addressing the Black Lives Matter movement, and the new goal he’s set for himself. Plus, Tyreek, who recently challenged the entire league to a race, calls out the NFL player he most wants to put his speed up against, and T.O. bets that he can beat him in a 100m sprint. Is T.O. being delusional or disrespected? You do not want to miss this! Follow us on social media!
