Chapter 1: What are the highlights of Radio Row this year?
You're listening to DraftKings Network. God bless football, Billy Gill. God bless football, Mikey A. God bless football, Stu Goss. Oh, we have arrived. We are tired. We're getting towards the end of the week. We have done 1,000 interviews.
We've done a lot of interviews so far. By the way, today's episode of God Bless Football is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Who's who, man?
What? Who's who this year? I mean, I got to tell you. What do you mean, who's who? I mean, this is a packed, stacked radio row. It's my kind of radio row.
That's all I'm saying. Mikey, so I sprained my ankle last week, as I told you guys, and then you saw me with a sprained ankle. Then I caught... Not technically the flu, but I got very sick earlier this week, and I had to take medicine. I thought I was out of the woods. Now, today I'm wearing my glasses. I don't know if you noticed that I was wearing my glasses. I brought contacts for the trip.
When I come on Radio Row, I want to wear my contacts. Right.
You know what I mean?
Because you don't feel like you're cool enough in the glasses? I mean, what's going on there?
No, it's not a cool thing. I think you look good in the glasses.
I had someone, Taylor, reach out to me and say, this week is you dressing for the job that you want. I was like, thank you, Taylor, I guess. But Taylor's just always insulting me anyways. Anyways, today I'm rocking the glasses. You know why? Because I woke up with a swollen eyeball. Really? Yeah. Well, I guess not my eyeball. How does that happen? It's my eyelid.

Chapter 3: What makes a great college football team?
LSU would have the best team as opposed to if you took the all-time grades from UM or USC. Then Ed Reed sat down and he laughed at him and said, are you kidding me? Justin Jefferson has never played against me. It's UM. I'm guessing you might think it's USC though.
Well, okay, here's the thing. I grew up watching that U, that team, that era. That was my favorite college football team to watch. Okay. And those boys were dogs. There's no other way to describe them other than all those guys were dogs. First-round draft picks at every position. Some of their backups were first-round draft picks. You're talking about guys like Ray Lewis, Ed Reed.
A slew of running backs that they had there, Willis McGahee.
McGahee was the third back. Yeah, he was the third running back.
For a while, yes.
Frank Gore, I think, was on that.
For me, I always give – I got to give respect and my flowers to the team that did it before us, which was the U. And the only team that we've ever been compared to is the U. That's the only people that – People have been able to compare it to U2 as a USC era than when we played there. Right.
And so I feel like, you know, that game, you know, if there was even ever an opportunity for that game to happen, that would be a dogfight. It would. Because, you know, obviously they had great players. We had great players. They had Ed Reed. Yeah. But we had Reggie Bush. I know. You know what I'm saying? And I was returning punts.
I know.

Chapter 4: What are the keys to being a successful coach?
When we've arrived at a place where sports are too expensive for kids to play, that's a bad place. It's an awful place. It's a ridiculous place, right?
It is, and again, I just go back to... I get it. I have kids, so eight-year-old girls in sports. I have a six-year-old son in sports, and then my three-year-old's starting T-ball this year. It's so funny being around youth sports. I go to my six-year-old's hockey games, and every dad in there thinks their son's going to play in the NHL. Of course, yes.
My kid's eating ice in the corner and tripping over and starting fights and stuff like that. It's just like... That's what kids are supposed to do. Yes, be kids. Ultimately, if he's good enough to play sports to pay for school and potentially provide his living one day, great. But that's not what it's about. Go be a kid. Go be a good teammate. Learn the life lessons that sports teach you.
And good sports has just done such an incredible job. The more I've learned about the organization, the more I get involved with the organization – It's an honor for me to sit up here with the Good Sports logo on my quarter zip and just use my platform to continue the work that they're doing. That's a good job out of you, man. I appreciate it.
And I like the top here. Thank you. You want to give me one? I'll wear it the entire day for you. I think we can make that happen. I want you to ask for that. It's a nice one. Who asks someone to give you their shirt?
Kyle? We can get you taken care of.
No, but Kyle's a big golfer, and he knows this. You cannot have too many of these. It doesn't matter what the logo is. It doesn't matter what it says. It's a nice little quarter zip. You can't have too many quarters. Absolutely. Are you still doing the Beer Olympics?
So we call it the Lake Bash.
Okay, sorry.
