Summary

On this week's episode, Peter talks to ESPN Radio host Mike Greenberg and FOX NFL analyst Mike Pereira. Greenberg talks about his TV future, his love of books and his (surprising) affection for opera. He also explains why he has such a thing for the New York Jets. Pereira, from our live podcast show in Houston, picks out the NFL rule that must be fixed and discusses the state of officiating. He also talks about how officiating gave him a focus in life, and why he wants young veterans discharged from the military to become game officials.
