The former Oakland Raider shares his thoughts and opinions on the game of football.
For seven seasons I had the honor to long snap to the best punter in the League, Shane Lechler. And for seven seasons he had the dishonor of seeing my backside while waiting for me to get him the ball.
Sunday night I walked two doors down to interview former NBA player turned 12-year Bay Area sports radio host Tom Tolbert not just about football, but sports and athletes in general.
