Summary

On today’s show, Pat, Coach Chuck Pagano, and the boys chat about the Pro Bowl rosters and the Pro Bowl snubs, Dan Campbell and Mike Vrabel getting a little testy with the media, some early look aheads to week 18 games that have massive playoff implications, and everything else happening in around the NFL and the sports world. Joining the show is 5x All-Star, Stanley Cup Champion, and current Captain of the Boston Bruins, Brad Marchand, to chat about tonight’s game against the Penguins on ESPN at 7, how he’s had to adapt and mature throughout his career, seeing younger guys come into the league and dealing with “soft skill” guys, what it was like when he was named Captain, how this year’s team is stacking up to last year’s team and team’s of the past, and more (11:41-28:35). Next, 7x National Champion, Head Coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, the GOAT, Nick Saban joins the show to chat about the heartbreaking loss in the Rose Bowl to Michigan, how we change team’s having a bunch of opt outs in bowl games, he walks us through that last possession in overtime, how impressed he was with Michigan, and why people always assume he’s going to return (59:23-1:28:02). Later, 12 year NFL veteran on the offensive line, AQ Shipley joins the show to chat about the snapping situation in the Alabama game, and what it’s like to get the yips as a center and how you get over it (1:33:54-1:38:53).
