Carlton Mitchell – Carlton has been a member of the Browns, Jaguars, Cowboys, Bucs, Falcons, Edmonton Eskimos and Ottawa Redblacks. What’s life like going from team to team trying to catch on and make your pro football dream come true? He left the University of South Florida prior to his senior season to enter the draft. Looking back does he regret that decision?

 

Tony Collins – Now that NFL VP of Health and Safety Jeff Miller has admitted that there is a link between football and brain injuries what does that mean for the former players and the concussion lawsuit? We’ll get Tony’s take.

 

Zig Fracassi – We’ll get Zig’s take on the free agent moves so far including the latest on his Cowboys. Will they be contenders next season? Plus, why can't the Browns ever stop being the Browns?

 

Russell Baxter - We'll get Russell's thoughts on who the winners and losers are so far in free agency. 

 

Walt Harris – Hear Walt sharing his thoughts on Chip Kelly taking over as Head Coach of his former team the 49ers and what it was like chasing Barry Sanders around twice a year and covering Deion Sanders when he started playing WR for the Cowboys.

 

 

Randy Minniear – We’ll talk to Randy about his college playing days at Purdue.  In 1964 they beat #2 Michigan and in 1965 they beat top rated Notre Dame. Randy scored 3 touchdowns in those games. We’ll hear this stories around those games plus let us know all the great charity work that the NFL Alumni Association does with children’s charities across the country.
