We also hear about his first season in Denver and what the adjustment was like playing in the thin air of Mile High Stadium.

Kurt "Dirty Kurt" Bevacqua joins us on this segment. Kurt is one of the great storytellers of all-time. He shares his thoughts on the game today vs. how it was played in the 70s and 80s. He talks about the legends he played with and against when he came up to the big leagues in 1971 with the Indians. He also talks about the impact Willie Stargell had on him, the bat Hank Aaron gave him during Hank's final season in Milwaukee, plus a whole lot more.

We also hear about what it was like for him being a 1st round draft choice of the Bears in 1988, what it was like trying to make a name for himself going against that late 80's Bears defense, and the hazing they put him through during his rookie training camp.

Former Stanford, Chargers, Dolphins, Vikings, and Saints WR Greg Camarillo joins us. Hear Greg sharing what it was like for him when he was cut and the phone didn't ring again.
