Summary

On today's show, Pat addresses the events that have unfolded in Kenosha, Wisconsin with Jacob Blake and where things go from here, as we attempt to bring you a unifying, feel good show with some good messages. First, Super Bowl Champion, 22 Year NFL Head Coach, a man who possesses one of the greatest mustaches alive, Jeff Fisher joins the program. Pat and Jeff chat about a FanDuel fantasy football contest that he's excited to be a part of and how it differs from traditional fantasy football. They also discuss the impact an NFL locker room can have and why they both think society needs a little bit more of that right now. Jeff also tells some hilarious stories from his time coaching, and chats about whether or not he has the itch to get back on the sideline (3:28-30:13). Next, 12 Year NFL veteran at Quarterback, ESPN NFL analyst, and one of the newest co-hosts of NFL Live, friend of the show, Dan Orlovsky joins the program. Pat and Dan chat about Mike Tannenbaum's recent comments on Get Up! that Ben Roethlisberger is the 4th best QB in the AFC North, why Dan doesn't think the Patriots are a playoff team despite acquiring Cam Newton, what the new cast of NFL Live will bring to the table, why he has some concerns with the 49ers, and why Pat inspires him (31:37-47:03). Lastly is another installment of McAfee & Hawk Sports Talk where Pat and AJ cover everything going on around the NFL including the Cowboys potentially landing Earl Thomas, how much the different gameday atmospheres will potentially affect the players, whether or not the Big Ten is still officially dead, and much much more (48:07-1:34:13).

0:00.0	Hello, it is Thursday, August 27th, 2020. I can't thank enough for choosing to listen
0:08.0	this show. There's obviously a lot going on in the sports world right now. NBA players have boycotted,
0:14.8	playoff games, MLB players have done the same. By the time we wake up, I assume other athletes in
0:21.6	notable celebrities who have made decisions. In an effort to bring conversation to the forefront
0:28.8	about making our country great for everybody. Now, any protest is going to be uncomfortable for sure.
0:35.6	And I think just a couple of months ago, we were a country that was very unified after watching a video,
0:40.7	damn near nine minutes long of a man named George Floyd getting killed by an officer of the law.
0:45.6	I think everybody, no matter where you're from, saw that video, especially in the world that we're
0:49.5	in with the quarantine and everybody being locked in their house in a worldwide pandemic happening,
0:54.4	and wanted to rally around each other to make our world in our country as good as it possibly

1:06.3	and I do believe that race relations were heightened through the entire George Floyd sad situation.
1:13.2	Now, just a couple of days ago in Wisconsin, a man named Jacob Blake was shot in the back seven
1:19.1	times, we're trying to get back into his car after an altercation with police.
1:25.6	NBA players are not happy about being in the bubble NBA players are not happy about potentially not
1:31.1	being able to protest and show the country where they stand. I believe these men taking a stand in
1:38.9	the ladies of the WMBA and MLB players is another beautiful opportunity for us to have conversations
1:46.8	about how we can make this country better for everybody. I'm all about harmony. I'm all about
1:54.0	understanding that although the outliers steal all the attention, I believe the large majority of
1:59.1	humans want to be in this thing together, and I hope we will always be there for people.
2:05.9	I hope we will be a show that will put a spotlight on the goodness that we have. I hope our show
2:13.0	will continue to be a home for people to feel welcome no matter where the hell you are from or
