Former NFL safety Michael Griffin sits down with Barton to  talk fatherhood, cupcakes, and his experience growing up playing High school, college, and pro football.  He takes the listener on his journey from Bowie High to the Univ. of Texas, and to the NFL.  In this episode, Michael explains why aspiring athletes must get up early, do the work in the gym, and be determined to be the best on their team.Mindset to Stay In the GameMuch of the attention is given to the physical aspect of football since it is a contact sport. However, Michael always thinks of his back against the wall, which is traced back to his high school days. He explains that when he is in that position, he can see the goal and how he can get to it. Michael then questions himself if his goal outweighs the barriers and everything else. He says that it is easy to make every excuse possible on why he could not do it. So what does this have to do with the physical aspect? Well, Michael has to know the difference between hurt and injured. An injury would mean not being able to play, and with that, it gives a window of opportunity to another player to take his spot. Therefore, Michael has developed a sense of durability with the mindset to push himself hard while securing his place in the team. Due to this way of thinking, he played with a dislocated shoulder twice. He learned to adapt quickly instead of getting off the field in order to keep his position as a safety of the team. About Michael Griffin:Two-time Pro-Bowler Michael Griffin's stellar professional football career spanned ten seasons in the NFL, including stints with the Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings, and the Carolina Panthers.

Today we're joined by Farrah Rochon, author of The Dating Playbook, to talk sports romances! We talked sports way back in season 1 (links below), but this is one of those tropes we're always happy to dig into! We get to the bottom of Farrah's love of football, we talk about competence porn and the human body as a superior tool, and we recommend a LOT of B O O K S! Don't miss Fated Mates LIVE! to celebrate the release of Sarah's next book, BOMBSHELL! Join us and some of our very favorite people on August 24th! Tickets are a copy of the book, and available at five participating romance friendly bookstores. Get them here! NEXT WEEK IS BOMBSHELL WEEK! Get it at Amazon, Apple Books, B&N, Kobo, or Bookshop.org, or at one of the participating romance-friendly bookstores hosting the Fated Mates Live/Virtual Bombshell Launch! Orders will come with a Fated Mates Sticker! Thank you, as always, for listening! Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful.Show NotesWelcome Farrah Rochon! Her newest book, The Dating Playbook just came out yesterday. She has another football series, the New York Sabres.The 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing begin on February 4th, 2022. Here's an explainer for dressage, an Olympic equestrian event. The horse at the club dressage video on twitter, Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart watching the same video.The 1984 category romance about a woman competing in Equestrian events at the Olympics was originally called Summer Games and later changed to Remember Summer (which is available as an eBook), and it was by Elizabeth Lowell not Iris Johansen.How the horses travel to Tokyo, how the ice is made, and other articles about new sports at this year's Olympics. All about Rune, the Danish Destroyer. In season one, we did a fake engagement interstitial, but it's a very popular trope in 2021. Texas football culture is legendary, just look at some Texas high school football stadiums, including the one in Katy. If you're ever in Katy, we highly recommend a trip to Katy Budget Books.You might be interested in this article with statistics breaking down the average age of professional athletes by sport, and this list of oldest professional athletes by sport. The question of which Olympics sports have the oldest and youngest athletes is always a fascinating one. This year, the youngest athletes were 12: Syrian tennis table player Hend Zaza and Japanese skateboarder Kokona Hiraki. The oldest athlete is Australian equestrian Mary Hanna, who is 66.We interviewed Susan Elizabeth Phillips and also did a deep dive on the third book in the Chicago Stars series, Nobody's Baby But Mine. Pitch was a Fox show that was cancelled before its time. It turns out there are two real life ex-NFL players, Brian Orakpo and Michale Griffin who opened Gigi's Cupcake shop in Texas. So just read this article over and over again until we get all the deets on Jamie Wesley's forthcoming series.

Roy Miller, a star defensive lineman at Texas from 2005 to 2008 who went on to play nine years in the NFL, joins The Flagship Podcast this week to talk about what it takes to play as a young D-lineman in college, his favorite memories at Texas and the NFL as well as his advice to this year's Longhorns. Miller, a Killeen Shoemaker product and five-star recruit, played as a freshman on UT's 2005 national title team despite having Rod Wright, Frank Okam and Larry Dibbles ahead of him on the depth chart. Miller offers up advice for young defensive linemen on the Longhorns' roster right now about how to get on the field right away (Hint: Get into the best shape of your lives). Miller talks about what he wants to see from Texas this season under first-year coach Steve Sarkisian. In a trip down memory lane, Miller talks about rooming with former Texas running back Jamaal Charles for three years and the night they loaded up on double cheeseburgers at McDonald's and the decision to put most of them in the fridge and try to eat them over time. Miller talks about his memorable first practice with Will Muschamp as defensive coordinator in 2008 and the way players like Miller, Lamarr Houston, Henry Melton and Brian Orakpo pushed each other. Miller recalls those he remembers most from his 2005 UT recruiting class, including a memorable battle in practice with offensive lineman Charlie Tanner. Miller talks about why his hometown of Killeen has produced a long line of notable football players, including Texas newcomer Ray Thornton, who is vying to replace Joseph Ossai. Miller talked about trying to stand out in the Big 12 at a time when Ndamukong Suh was playing defensive tackle in the Big 12 at Nebraska. Miller was a third-round NFL Draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and spent half of his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars (Miller still lives in Jacksonville). He talks about the best players he faced in the NFL and the first time he sacked Tom Brady and more.

Wait til you hear about our NFL ring ceremony concept...Jonah is back in from his Fresh year of college and contributes in a big way. Maria can best be described as mildly bemused and tolerant as the guys propose the following:1) What would you do if you had the Stanley Cup for a day?2) A total reimagining of the NFL Super Bowl ring ceremony. What if NFL Super Bowl rings were turned over every year like the Stanley Cup? 50 yard line, previous winners line up across from new winners and (Benny Hill theme starts playing) each player has to find another one to wear his ring.Would there be Red Carpet event fan overlap for the Super Bowl if there was a week long leadup with players discussing the rings, their potential outfits for the ceremony and who their potential targets might be?If this sounds to you like it might be a terrible idea, maybe you need to ask yourself this question: “If Elvis Grbac, 1994 Michigan Wolverines starting QB, thinks its a great idea...is it possible that maybe I’m the one missing the point?”*If you are an NFL athlete or know an NFL athlete, please explain to us why or how you think this will be successful and who to contact to make it work.*To date, Elvis Grbac is definitely unaware of this idea and may or may not think it’s a good idea.Please visit us at https://thetragedyacademy.com On social media, you can find us at @thetragedyacademypodcast on Instagram, The Tragedy Academy Podcast on Facebook, and @tragedy_academy on Twitter.  Don't forget to subscribe, download, rate, and review! (39:50) Superbowl ring exchange proposal.(38:05) Stanley Cup lightning rod hat viral video. #nfl #football #sports #nba #nfldraft #nflnews #superbowl #nflfootball #life #mlb #espn #nflmemes #americanfootball #madden #touchdown #afc #nfc #comedian #laugh #rogan #bertkreischer #pattonoswalt #offensive #chrisrock #chappelle #equality #collegefootball #fantasy #roto #fantasyfootball #redcarpet #fashion #comedy #funny #hilarious #ridiculous #timanderic #joke #standup #lol #nfl #football #sports #nhl #stanleycup

Who doesn’t love cupcakes?  That’s the thought that former NFL stars Michael Griffin and Brian Orakpo had one day as they enjoyed some tasty treats.  Griffin and Orakpo both spent part of their professional football careers playing for the Tennessee Titans, which is where the original Gigi’s Cupcakes was located. So when the time came to move on from professional football, the pair was ready to enter the entrepreneurial world.  They joined forces with their college friend Bryan Hynson and together, they trio became “The Cupcake Guys."

Nat and Dan are getting into the swing of pre-season and have decided to talk about it, record the results and put it on the internet. They have vague memories of doing this before but with someone else too so are over the moon when an extremely funny man who's a big fan of the New York Giants comes to the studio too. His name is David Whitney and they like him a lot. In other news: The show gets offered yet more advertising products, Nat cannot control his excitement at this; David talks booze and why you should love it; Dan talks about a time when he wished no-one had drunk a thing then the discussion turns to how to keep the right side of pissed on those long stints*; Johnny Football is a very naughty boy; Brian Orakpo, who had been mockingly doing Manziel’s ‘money’ symbol every thime he threw the ball away, said the gesture was hilarious; Jadeveon Clowney showed why he was first pick overall and he decimated the Atlantas running game; nothing in the NBA but Team USA beat Brazil in an exhibition game in Chicago, Derrick Rose returned, Anthony Davis put up 20 plus 4 blocks and 7 rebounds, KD pulled out and the team wore jerseys in support of Paul George; loads of Bodeans Mailbag goodness; a discussion on how to improve shit jokes and much, much more...   *Americarnage does not endorse all-day drinking, mainly because we're lightweights.
