Summary

This week, Peter is joined by a couple of wily veterans - one attempting an improbable comeback, and the other looking to continue an improbable career.

(12:00) Cowboys TE Jason Witten chats about his ups & downs in the MNF booth, what he missed most about not playing last season, and the new perspective he has now. (33:05) Dolphins QB Ryan Fitzpatrick on the best locker room he's been in, the most fun he's had in his career, and chasing Philip Rivers in the kids department
