Dallas was born in Sioux Falls, SD and was a stand out athlete in basically every sport he could play at Twin River Valley High School. He was recruited by Hayden Frye and ended up Greyshirting in Hayden's last year, joining the program officially after KF stepped in for the 1999 season. He faced multiple injuries and setbacks in his first couple seasons but made his way onto special teams in 2000 where he was able to make an impact. He was initially playing Linebacker, and was moved to Tight End where we finished his last 2 seasons for the Hawks. His senior year he won the Mackey award for the nations best tight end, and was drafted 24th overall to the Colts the following spring. Dallas spent over a decade in the NFL, mostly in Indianapolis, and is considered one of the best Tight Ends to ever play the game.

Jon Budmayr- Guilty Until Proven Innocent | WUW 495 Feb 15, 2024

Show notes

Conversation on Budmayr starts at about 35 mins into the show
On tonight's show we discuss the shows brief attempt at getting Walkons the restaurant to sponsor the show, and the recent poll we ran on Twitter to help prod at Kevin to take over with more mic time on the show. We discuss the optics of the Kelce/Swift relationship and some of Kelce's sponsors in relation to drawing attention to the NFL and other causes. We break down the Super Bowl, talking about the punt return mishap, Kittle's lack of targets and usage, and the 9ers not running the ball in the second half. Leonhard was hired by the broncos and and some teams odds for '25. Then we mull over the idea of the Super Bowl happening in Vegas every single year. We discuss 5k sub ideas, and guessing Kevin's salary. We then get into the Budmayr hire for the Iowa WR coach position. The immediate negativity surrounding the hire on social media and why people aren't happy.. does a guy need to have played/coached a position to be credible? How easy is it as a football guy to adapt and learn to teach a position at a high level? Was this a lazy hire by simply elevating someone within the program? And does this guy deserve the negativity when he hasn't even gotten a chance to prove himself yet? We finish by touching on the scoring record that Caitlin will break the day this pod releases, and if we would sell our hypothetical floor tickets to this game..
