O.J. McDuffie, Don Beebe,& Mark Collins Join Us...

NFL: Thursday Night Tailgate

In this episode, we talk with Penn State & Dolphins legend O.J. McDuffie, former Bills, Panthers, & Packers WR and now Aurora University Head Coach Don Beebe, and former Giants & Chiefs DB Mark Collins.

O.J. McDuffie shares his insights on the Dolphins, their potential to be a Super Bowl contender, and thoughts on Head Coach Mike McDaniel. We also go back to his playing days at Penn State and with the Dolphins. We hear about the game against Syracuse that put him on the map at Penn State. We also get his thoughts on playing for Don Shula, and why he isn't a fan of Jimmy Johnson.

Don Beebe talks about the season his Aurora Spartans had. They finished the regular season (11-2) overall and (8-0) in the conference. They made it all the way to the Elite 8 in the D3 playoffs. We also get his insights regarding field turf vs. natural grass (you may be surprised by his answer), on-field outbursts by players, and D3 players getting a shot in the USFL and XFL.

Mark Collins won 2 Super Bowls with the Giants plus a third with Green Bay. He shares his thoughts on the Chiefs and Giants this season, why Marty Schottenheimer couldn't get over the hump and win the big game, why Bill Parsells said he was the only guy who could cover Jerry Rice 1 on 1, and the incredible hustle plays he made blocking so his teammates could score.

In our Spotlight on the Positive segment hear about the great things that Commanders Tackle Charles Leno Jr. plus Vikings KJ Osborn, Andrew DePaola, Eric Kendrics, William Kwenkue, Greg Joseph, and Ryan Wright are doing in their communities.
