  • Outstanding Show

    If you want to know what your favorite former football players are up to you have to catch this podcast. Hosted by one of my favorite Bears, Peanut Tillman and also the legendary Roman Harper! These 2 are hilarious with their back and forth banter. But the information they glean from former players that are on their show is priceless! Sometimes you’ll laugh sometimes you’ll get tears in your eyes, but either way if you love football this is a show you myst catch!
