MLB.tv definitely still one of the highlights of 20/20 year in which there were plenty of low moment that lots of challenges Kurt Warner made an appearance on after hours for the first time and we were able to teach them about stealing his gig as the spokesperson for some small batch that the right to be smallbatch pork rinds which I still am emoting you hear those commercials as part of the Westwood One broadcasts and actually I've heard them here on this network as well. People still. I feel the time is you with the southern rather be smallbatch pork rinds do you eat the pork rinds what they taste like I get lots of questions about them and yet my partnership with southern recipe and by proxy.

My partnership with gridiron great means a lot to me. We go back now five or six years and I always appreciate the passion that the old-timers and the Hall of Famer's and Kurt Warner is one of those appreciate the passion that they have for Mike to make Dick excuse me, and his organization and working to lend a helping hand a leg up if you well to those athletes who played in different eras because they did make the same kind of money and don't have the same type of medical benefit set such a small way that the football fraternity can give back, and yet it's critical and it makes such a major impact on so many lives. We always appreciate when southern recipe comes to us here on the show. It says hey we like to get one of our old-timers on the air a lot time they are Hall of Famer sometimes are just great guys, great personalities who are also good storytellers and that is our guest on this addition of after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio were live from the rocket mortgage Studios deeded to know what it takes for a home to fit your budget and your family. Rockets can this afternoon had a chance to connect with NFL that longtime NFL defensive lineman Mike Golic who played in the late 80s and the 90s. The longtime radio host.

In fact, we cross paths many a morning when I was getting off the air in my previous network and he and his partner Mike Greenberg were coming into the studio to do their morning show their long-running morning show. He is now an analyst for Westwood One. You can hear them on Sunday night football. In addition to that he's an analyst for draft king that was watching some of his videos on twitter before we connected this afternoon so you can find me on Twitter a lot radio got the Twitter handles to not only gridiron greats but also the southern recipe smallbatch pork rinds and Mike Golic on our Facebook page 2 we always post the link to all of our interviews. The following day.

This is good stuff were always excited.

We got fun personalities to share with you here on after hours, Mike.

I spent a good portion of Wednesday watching weather coverage on the weather Channel or locally.

Some of the various outlets in Florida. So thinking about that situation that has forced postponements and cancellations and sporting events to be moved, but also thinking about week three in Miami with the heat and humidity and how it affected the Buffalo Bills. For instance, all kinds of guys getting cramps and dehydration and not able to place the defections on the sidelines because the weather conditions were getting to them. So thinking about your career. Is there a crazy or atypical weather situation you've played in or something like that where the elements really affected you and your team. Her group noted really goes well beyond sport were were trekking through all but from my side.

There wasn't really any danger be called before that. Have a good influence on the board out there in Chicago while another fog rolled in and you couldn't see anything bought didn't want to cancel the game or archer could postpone it happened while the game was going on.

The clear everybody out and bring everybody back another day. I remember the referee on the 50 yard line, reboot your life and I could hear him talking to the people in the press box and yes I can see both goalpost and my goal for both goalpost 20 are you aware didn't want to postpone the game so there were like yeah you well enough you could see well enough how they rent to sweep away from the loss of one started going to the side like so that was one of those anything that was winning without fog rolled in and turned out the fox.

Have a good chance of winning, and the bears were ahead. When that happened it was that was one of I mean, I played and bought it. I played in rain, snow, but you know that something you are doing multiple times what I've never played with the world and in the field and players basically is a badge of honor for you football players that you do playing all those elements, whereas when it comes to baseball Dell cancel though postpone a man football like last year in Buffalo with the wins that word 60 mph. Here we think about the heat but also the snow we talk about Lambeau and and those kind of extreme conditions. Is that something you guys are proud of. I think partly you are proud of what you something like that.

But for me while George and I enjoyed a nice rain or snow because everybody then came down to my athletic average player and people were much better athlete you want your athletic ability starts to shrink a little bit when it really was a really slick work, so I appreciate the fact that even somewhat so I was happy about it to you to come up with that tight of a reason for loving the weather so Mike Philadelphia Eagles are playing really well right now they're one of the teams it's undefeated you played in Philly. The stories are legendary.

What is it mean to be an eagle and a plate for those fans on the ILOG. Most of my career. Your and their the most fanatical of the most emotional granddad and I mean after playing better than you know so you don't really care are or are really given a damn. You know Ben Simmons with their will let you know and you know that that's fair well man no log at the blue-collar town. I was a blue-collar player you know II loved it and what we are doing well. They love ecstatic right now me. We were never my Super Bowl obviously forgot the Super Bowl last you know last few years, but they are so passionate about their team. The laughter my plate right left to go to Miami and my one year in Miami. We were nine into the best record football and our games were blacked out because we couldn't sell out.

I was stunned by me and I'm like what the hell is going sick seven years in Philly were were sold out the plate.

The people are crazy and that I went down to Miami a little bit different. By the way don't want to fill in my soul well balanced on the log stair schedule hasn't been as challenging.

Three. Know it's three now. So what impresses you is Bill Parcells you are with your records look exactly right. I mean they can't decide who plays affordable.

We know we know that was your first trail in her jail and hurt by a local quarterback.

Everybody talk about the beginning of the year they're playing for their future with that he are they going to be the quarterback or rep coming up is probably for quarterbacks that are to go in the first row again. Both teams are undefeated. All quarterbacks are playing well so therefore answering about jail and you know we can do with like passing well now he's back in the 3540 touchdown God, no. But the key with him is make sure your interceptions ago, usually for quarterback is single digits with interceptions. So get yourself you know 20 may be in the 20s touchdown and under 10 interceptions and that's what you want them to supplement that with your leg that blotted weapons form J. Brown was a monster, get form want to make some incredible catcher points also very very very balanced team. I think it's one of the good things going my goal to former NFL defensive lineman, is now a tracking's analyst and were always excited to have them here after hours on CBS sports radio. Just thinking about you. You played in Philly obviously but you also made with Notre Dame. How does the passion compare when you're talking about that atmosphere on right there in the packet of the probably the bigger the passion for Notre Dame's country walked on me when we would go on away trips, I mean that the fans would match at the airport about your hotel made. I was truly a truly national team. One of the know know their independence so they don't have the one topic Todd so they are national team in the biggest rival USC which is futile bit account of the national rivalry so yeah I mean it is again not only in South Bend, Chicago or nationwide with with Notre Dame. You and I just ran into each other in the press box in Lambeau for a Sunday night game against the Bears. That was my first taste of regular-season action at Lambeau and now I had the opportunity to go down on the field and have time to be around the alumni's they were getting introduced those stands were obnoxiously loud, very passionate. It's kind of neat.

The way that you got fan bases that are so invested, although sometimes that means they reserve the right to boo and tell you when you completely screwed up all gallop in order to do that again.

So they wash up but I will playing at Lambeau.

I'm glad my son Mike got Lambeau. I told Chuck to the experience of the Army carries just so much so it is very great to play there a few times and call games are obviously should we saw each other.

There could be a matter remember other appropriate Mike was playing and appreciating it happen. They fail the entire game. They're always there now some people say will not a whole lot not a lot else to do their though I found myself losing money at the casino night so I find something else to do a 5 foot.yet they are phenomenal women and I met that parking lot smells so good with the brought people cooking them up before the game. Yes right of passage there for just three or four days. I had multiple brought swallows their family with the football game yet still limited sample size. Mike such roller coaster ride.

These first three weeks border a couple of other headlines and routines are surprising. You good or bad to start this first month wall. A surprisingly bad.

No wonder it had a big whimsical city, but I was a bit surprised at how they fit in 111. I thought would not talk that Ryan was a big upgrade parcel will goes on parts of it and turned it up in Washington right now but II thought that I picked the team to win the division again as you said early sample size of Jacksonville.

Kudos for them to get to them. But I was disappointed in Annapolis and the other team think I thought the thing to be one of Amoco would be one of those here. We talk about this every year for five you don't like while make it the next year. I thought these two would-be tool, but already you know because a lot of it. I talked about: 14 touchdown 370 game played last year. You already have fiber, resorting back to that gunslinger, kind of throat through people a little bit that could be an issue. So that surprised me a little bit on the good side got a look at Jacksonville. There 211.doc Peterson knows her culture Super Bowl coach they think they're kind of growing all you want them to be. I think the other team and I think if you don't have a huge rooting interest. Most people do, even older wanted to love the Detroit line on the way there play_lot appoint Dan Campbell motion to him. I mean that all Jacksonville are both going in the right direction. I love to hear Campbell talk mean he and micrometer to my favorite coaches to listen to you but whenever you have to press this locker room speech with I'm not a lunatic. I'm not sure what that sticks to your locker rooms. Would you as a player preferred to play for a coach that seems like you completely out of his mind but brings that passion or what.

Without a doubt, the only thing that it could be a picture what God your white wartime type of culture your weakest name coach white people and blah blah blah worry about is in training camp. All the running coach with a prayer G payment and Mande rental lot more and guys that came with him from. Apples acquired cold all the better player to get ready to run a mate. What you think about it as a player you think about man Michael be run and more we can get more and Go through my first, but I always love passionate coach without question, you coaches earn respect in a locker room outside of those fancy speeches. While a lot of you know a lot of it depends on if you played quite this kind of evidence the court that okay you are on the field. You know you were doing what we did.

So you understand your to be successful by any stretch and then you know what what what is your resume site now. First, primary coaches, you know that they got approval because you see somebody's head coaches, especially what there for now from the Sean McVeigh tree right so what you're getting out of those guys who were offense of coordinator. Remember they were: plaintiff shoulder becoming first primary coaches and they were calling plays are the when there were Sean so you really kind of say okay how is this going to work so you don't automatically get that respect that that first-time head coach, especially if you haven't called plays or sometime shortly. Even if you have you earned that what your personality what you want you selling the biggest thing a new coach wants to do is have the team buy-in to what he shall obviously the best way to do that is when he got me a job in Miami think they're buying it so that that's kinda how it works. It all goes hand-in-hand. Mike Golic is an NFL that longtime radio host and football analyst now with Westwood One and draft kings. It works please to spend a few minutes with him in his partnership with gridiron greats and of course our friends at Southern recipe smallbatch pork rinds.

I really enjoy asking guys who played in in different eras.

Why this is important because I don't think many fans realize how different it was.

Unless you are watching in of years ago decades ago. So why is gridiron greats, an organization and a cause that matters to you all man that I'm on the board program at how much I think of it our leader with no player that played decades ago and I put Dr. to go but I mean even before the, the, you know what, how, when they enter the game and their pet between their countrymen the help available that it is not a lot.

So gridiron greats. This is the way I put in the play football.

You got knocked down or in many taught and someone a lot of times your teammate a restart help you up for your help back to me as were gridiron great. What were helping our guys that have played years ago that are struggling were helping them up. Whether it's with your mortgage. Whether it's at the dentist whether it's a major surgery. Things like that. That's what the money that we raise is used for gold players that need the everyday things are things even bigger than that. So that's why I like a good part of this for years now. I'm proud to be part of order to start to get a younger generation of players involved in it as well and you mentioned the recipe smallbatch sleeping so good to their 14th year of the biggest football Dave for client appreciation day on Super Bowl Sunday and so what what they want to do is they want to trade like fax put your date school. That's a pretty cool thing.

I give everybody excited wind appreciation day.com and basically to go there and you pick anything you believers can get back in. Each week one randomly selected entry can win a case report crying for every fact that you get grand prize of $5000 a year pork rind and shortly again money raise your goals to go to the gridiron greats as well.

So it report that there they're fantastic.

There small clutter must be small but are such good people aligning themselves recruiter and Rachel were looking looking to raise a lot of money to help some of the players sacs for snacks at pork rind appreciation day. My go to Scott's and Sachs on his resume semaphore illegal Mike, what's it like to bring down the quarterback in me. I haven't done very much so the way I look at I played nine years I have 11 careers that some call that prophetically bad. I call it consistent global one little over one year. I like like to look at the glass half full. It listen when you get there right my biggest day was, I think was 89 the first time. Well, the chili our first game against Dallas. We had 1211 or 12 fact I actually had to have sex with my God is almost 1/4 of what I have for my entire career was that it was a big day for me so if I get anywhere near the quarterback, and I didn't so much trouble today with fines because of I got quote I was hit when I was land on a gland and I'm doing out and dance dancing thing to I lost my wind. No, I was too busy trying to get wind after my long now the power of the required three or if I would've ever scored a touchdown. I probably would've dance, but I never got close to know I is no stacked dance nor did I deserve to have affected his goodness.

These are the stories that we love. We get Mike Golic on the show so you can find them on Twitter at Golic antihero. Now Westwood One and Sunday Night Football as well as with draft kings and obviously longtime radio host and NFL defensive lineman hey man, you lasted for nearly a decade. That's saying something. Now I know I know a pretty self-deprecating book, but neither I am very very proud of. We appreciate having you and will catch up again. Thanks so much Mike. I look forward to the next time Arpad cropping me And a lot no yet that Lambeau Field. I actually accosted him in the food line. The buffet line and I apologize to my goal, like lights on there and we hadn't seen each other in person going back for quite a few years now, though he was on our show shoot with it. Super Bowl XXI or earlier this year, and 22.

I actually don't think producer J you were here for that. That would've been going back to the Super Bowl that was held in Tampa, but we weren't there. Obviously, nobody was really there and so for that reason we were doing our radio row from the after our supersecret home base, but Golic was part of that I had spoken to him since I left our previous network. It'd been a long time but now we front due each other a bunch. Kinda cool to to catch him at Lambeau and now gridiron greats, helping us to partner up and make sure to promote not just the organization but also pork rind appreciation days. You can check out those various links on his twitter and also the tweet that I put out there alright so what are the contingency plans for the Buccaneers who had the Chiefs this weekend.

You'll hear from Andy Reid as well as from Todd Bowles and then words can the launch forward into what's coming up this weekend in the NFL. Pretty amazing.

Lots of good stuff on the night in which Sharon judge hit 61 home runs at football going to get jealous and held its way into the spotlight again here we are on the cusp of week number four.

You never know what you're going to see or hear. Play loud it's baseball like you've never watched before episodes of play loud YouTube channel listening to the after-hours podcast left all after-hours with baby Lawrence Matt radio only did you all choose the gelati will go ahead touchdown for the game-winning touchdown from Matt Ryan at the fee. No genie of the week what they would live over TD in the way, you guys disappointed me so much you actually what we do not take math which was pretty phenomenal.

His touchdown the first half for the Eagle by I gotta tell you the impact gelati woods, a rookie, and the fact that the cold got their first win at the expense of the chief who wasted squandered so many opportunities to me. That was a much bigger moment and bigger TD I forgot I was the one who voted for gelati woods in the cold if you missed our conversation with Mike Golic the call to one of his surprises to start the season, even as were still riding me crazy inconsistent roller coaster. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio because of hurricane EN and though the wide swath of devastation and the water and the wind and obviously the cleanup that awaits the state of Florida. Once the storm has completely passed through right now it's pounding the Jacksonville area and there's still so much of the state being impacted by the aftermath and the storm surge and the tide actually that will be coming in on the Gold Coast of Florida in the next couple of hours, but they better figure out whether or not they want to host a football game that was scheduled to take place. There with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs that we know that the Buccaneers went to Miami for the week to practice. But that's not an option for the game for whatever reason the dolphins are there their exit thing on Thursday night so they're not using the stadium, but the NFL has Minneapolis as a backup plan if the Buccaneers can't host or if they decide not to host there. So yeah, there's a lot that's up in the air. Whether you're the home team or whether you're the Chiefs we can control the outside forces are not those with the city of Tampa right now where we have to play. Hopefully it is damn good and everything is fine by me were not damaged too much, but if we have to go play elsewhere and always is that the focus on lot in the West don't feel sorry for us and also we got precedents away game regardless of going somewhere to place a game plan to try to prepare yourself that way and obviously some thoughts and prayers are buddy in the Florida area and hopefully they got out of there.

It is not that the bucket onset were not sure what employment were people where we need to go will go with ourselves ready for that. And when the link announces that the will go ahead and move forward in that direction. So that's right.

Now we know nothing man. My heart goes out to people.

Tampa quite followed.

No, no, how much it's hidden or going to my heard it sounds like it's difficult to deal with the people are now the game is still scheduled for Raymond James in Tampa for Sunday night which chief. The Buccaneers is supposed to be a national game on Sunday nights and for whatever reason, the NFL selected US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis recently hosted a Super Bowl could end up posting Sunday night football they back the Buccaneers word early to evacuate.

There were obviously millions of people who were displaced by the storm affected so much of the state that even if it didn't damage the stadium.

It's hard to imagine fans showing up to a football game or being able to get there on time day but you never know. Maybe it's an opportunity for them to have a distraction and a break just that there's going to be so much cleanup and who knows about the power outages right now. The last I saw the report is 2.3 million homes and businesses in Florida without power.

There are entire counties that do not have power so that may be a challenge as well. Moving forward, whether or not they can put on the game, but also vendors and parking everything else that goes along with that self Vikings are going to be in London to take on the saints on Sunday morning, which means US Bank can be used in in the meantime were keeping our eyes on the weather and I'm just in all of the weather Channel and all of the local and national broadcasters to our working overtime and dedicated to providing information, helping to keep people safe on twitter a lot radio also on her Facebook page.

There's no better place to never miss a moment of the action that with MLB.tv stream everything every team all season long. MLB.tv ever where dozens of friends team to find one original radio you are listening to the after-hours podcast very smart and you know so much as is so fun to convert these fees after hours with Lawrence Chartier's newly rebuilt and ferocious defense is taking major hits and let it does not seem for the Chargers over the last few years, maybe even stretching back farther then I can't remember but farther then I can even add up the years their injury situation. It's been rough even before Brandon Staley and before Justin Herbert, but obviously now they're dealing with injuries on both sides of the ball yet again. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence on CBS sports radio that Khalil Mack talking about Joey Bosak and his impact on the game, let it turns out, the Chargers are without Bo set for a while now living themes of the season is been Chargers injuries to all of their best players from Justin Herbert to Ray Sean Slater to Kate Allen and now to Joey boasting he is going to be placed on injured reserve. He is now out for at least the next four weeks. My understanding is he's could have surgery imminently from Dr. William Myers and the chair Institute in Philadelphia to correct a core muscle issue. Generally, these issues cannot players out about come back a little sooner, maybe a little later but about six weeks.

That is what the Chargers looking at for Joey Bosak to be a ways, but we expect him to come back. I know that he's optimistic you know and ready to attack it. He's in really good frame of mind.

It's never easy when you have an injury like that because he was playing so well, but got good news on that front, know that it would be a season under and that you get back later in the season itself lost 50 for defense. Want to join means a lot to us about it. We count on this other book is almost have his back and the whole thing is dancing figures which would first Ian Rappaport on NFL total Access with some of the details on both say yes they do expect him to return after having surgery on this growing problem and then safety dear when James as well as Brandon Staley is a major loss and it's frustrating to because the Chargers went out and got big timepieces on their defense to try to combat the incredible quarterbacks on the roster in the AFC West Patrick Holmes.

Now Russell Wilson they've got one in Justin Herbert.

They get to work against him and practice. But here talking about a division where you've got to be able to play defense because every team has offense or lease that the idea the Broncos have really found theirs yet but anyway it's frustrating. No doubt, for Chargers fans. In fact, the last, what, how many years has been frustrating for Chargers fans and around the move from San Diego to Los Angeles.

But even before that year. The phrase Chargers gun charge or charges can find ways to lose all that kind of stuff we will do an extensive QB new. Maybe have to break it up from AFC to NFC because here we are on the cusp of week number four and there's a lot to pick apart as we look ahead to this coming weekend schedule. Yes, we do still have the question of Sunday night football up in the air because it's supposed to be in Tampa but between now and then there's there's plenty that we can think our teeth into the first game of the week is the dolphin readout at the Cincinnati Bengals who were ready AFC representation in the Super Bowl and just got their first win and offense of light is playing a hell of a lot better now. Injuries because because it's early in the season I do. I do like that.

A lot of these guys that were hearing about not all of them.

For instance, sterling Shepherd, he's out for the year with a torn ACL. We know there have been other injuries that require guys to be out for the entire seasons of seizing and season-ending surgery. But when it comes to some of the quarterbacks were getting good news like Jack Prescott is close to returning will get the update from Mike McCarthy when we do the NFC version of QB news also has been cleared to return for the New York Jets Mike Tomlin was talking about facing Joe Flack go and made Joe Flack allowed to be like the second coming of Tom Brady. He also had complementary words about Zach Wilson but that's Tomlin, right, he makes all of the Steelers opponents sound like they are the toughest opponent that Pittsburgh will ever face.

It's kind of funny though to think about this young quarterback and Zach Wilson will he pee down his leg with the Steelers defense maybe not because it's not TJ Watt that definitely makes quarterbacks a little more nervous when you go to TJ Wyatt who is seeking and finding and hunting for you been cleared… Getting closer will have the update. I wish I could give you an update about Mac Jones. I wish I could give you the details.

We've heard reports coming out of New England that he has a severe high ankle sprain and is expected to be 10 minutes multiple weeks multiple weeks. In fact, the severity of his sprain is actually one that could require surgery. Patriots playing at Lambeau Field on Sunday the nationally televised game Bill Balla chakra is to offer any type of concrete information about his quarterback were not getting here the entire answer, the entire exchange with reporters, but there is one phrase that he used 12 times on Wednesday summer let you figure out what it is 12 different times. He said it is spring day, Dr. orthopedic surgeon medical experts evaluated on the MRI tests on my job so you is we didn't as I say here all 12 times that he uttered the phrase day by day by day by day. Now the official injury report would list day to day by day over and over and over, and I'm thinking that's a classic Bill Belichick Hall of flame candidate. What I look like a doctor when I read the MRI tomorrow so my job but could you please go back and and that exchange with the reporter who said here to tell you about it right so my job so yet they talk to me about it. Still, day by day guy he really he takes plenty of time to make life difficult for reporters. I get it. It's not his job to make life easier for what I look like a doctor that is one of his favorite line so I'm not a doctor exactly what yes I get that. So he said to be the work and people it's so fired up and upset at the way that he answers questions I go back and forth. I don't think he needs to be rude but at the same time if I'm Bill Balla check and I know how injuries can be used against my players, but I also am one of those guys is always been about game and gamesmanship means that this is who he is. He doesn't want to give his opponent even an iota of an advantage or a leg, and information is power. Do you think there's some small part of him, though, that loves this come this competition that this combat with reporters I do.

I think he plays up a little bit.

He's just annoyed literally just annoyed after all these years and he knows that he knows the questions are coming. I feel even more annoyed I think. I guess I feel he was in there like with these pre-determine what answers like that.

I can tell, day by day 12 times and after the end of it. I think he went into the press conference, knowing that that was good to be all he said about he did. I guess my question though is should he be doing anything different made my Tomlin doesn't give a whole lot of information, he just happens to say it with big vocabulary words is one how we Super Bowl's and he's just anything to prove anybody you, he's countering that luxury to be able to say whatever he wants in the press concert just like Tom, has but as the old and cranky, though a little while I old house and they do that is you just cranky. He knows what's coming and it's his least favorite part of the job.

He's a cranky crank attendance of tough be to work. I have told the story before but I have been in many press conferences were Bill Belichick was delivering comments. One that stands out to me. I was relatively new head on the New England beat had just moved back to New England I was working the Providence market specifically but was covering Celtics Bruins patriots Red Sox. Anyway, I went to this one press conference at Gillette Stadium I think was my first one ever the actual stadium so much earlier in my career and we were in this big room. I don't remember where it was how I got there. I'm sure got lost walking around stadium. Someone asked him in exes and owes question and he was fascinating. The amount of information.

He talked any way, much as Bilbo check whatever light up. He lit up because it was a specific football question and it was most probably over my head again. I don't remember the exact question was, but I just remember that he talk so extensively and looked so excited to be actually breaking down a particular element of the game.

That's not the case. Most of the time and he's not the only want to get to know what it reporters he just refuses to hide his annoyance at the whole process of having to answer questions that he's already answered.
