Hey, what's up everybody?

Today on Quicksland's the podcast, we get in touch with former Patriots wide receiver and Patriots Hall of Famer Troy Brown, who shared a football field, a locker room.

And many days with Terry Glenn, the former Patriots, Cowboys and Green Green Bay Packers' wide receiver who died in a car crash this week at the age of 43.

That tragedy, that trauma, really carried on for Glenn throughout his high school and college career at Ohio State and really in through the pros.

Ron Borges then of the Boston Globe

did a tremendous job chronicling Glenn's early life.

And while Glenn was very reserved with virtually everyone,
