The docuseries "Inside The Lines" that follows the 2021 Columbus Lions has been celebrated by National Arena League fans and personnel alike. It was so good that we needed to bring on the man behind the camera! Producer, Editor, and Videographer Aidan Kowalski joined the show discussing the project, revealing extra nuggets we didn't know, and gave details on the release of the remaining 5 episodes. All this and more!
Mason Espinosa, MVP QB for the Columbus Lions, joined Zach and Jim on this latest edition of Inside The Walls to discuss his process of resigning, the upcoming 2022 season with ironman rules, and touches on what it was like to have his season documented on "Inside The Lines"! Zach and Jim also discuss the impact the USFL Draft might have on talent in the NAL and indoor scene.
2021 National Arena League MVP QB Mason Espinosa resigned with the Columbus Lions after a lengthy decision-making process, and it has the league in as much of a competitive state as ever! Zach and Jim dissect what his signing means for the NAL, debate where each team's QB rooms rank, and Zach sits down with Orlando Predators head coach Jeff Higgins to talk about his preparations for 2022!
This is a great guest interview for us. Mason is a current arena league football player for the Columbus Lions and has been an arena league player for a long time. However, towards the beginning of his journey he played football at DIII Ohio Wesleyan as QB, where he holds 17 records. After college, he was invited to a Pittsburgh Steelers rookie mini camp, but no NFL action. After coaching a couple seasons of college ball he decided to try arena football out and it has paid dividends. Mason has got to play all across the country and now has found a home in Columbus where he is a past MVP of the NAL and 2x offensive player of the year. Hopefully this episode peaks your interest and consider giving us a review and staying tuned for more episodes.

An explosive 2021 NAL Championship saw that Albany Empire take home the crown over the visiting Columbus Lions! Zach and Jim break down what key moments and plays lead to the Empire's second title in three years. The duo also sits down with Albany Empire WR and 2021 NAL Championship MVP Malachi Jones talking about his stellar performance, his time in the arena game, and what may lay ahead in his life this offseason.
2021 National Arena League MVP Mason Espinosa joined us, just days after his Columbus (GA) Lions' heartbreaking loss in the championship game. To hear inspiring guests like him talk about fitness and faith, make sure to subscribe to "Run The Race." After a brief introduction, (3:24) we dive into the chat with QB Mason Espinosa, first about that title game for his Columbus Lions, and how losing - in sports and life - can be a great teacher, for humility and improvements. (9:59) In what was formerly the "Fast 4," we now have a "Tripod" of rapid fire questions. Mason gives us his weekly routine to stay fit, but he hates running! He also says his identity is as a follower of Jesus Christ, and not in football - which his something he does, and very well. How does that faith help him on the field? You may not know, he's also a certified scuba diver. (15:14) This Columbus Lions star talks about being back on the field in front of fans, after COVID-19 canceled last season, and then winning league MVP with some eye-popping stats like 50+ touchdowns and only 2 interceptions! (18:39) Following in the footsteps of his college football linebacker dad, Mason started playing football in TN at age 6, eventually going on to Division III football, starting 40 games at QB for Ohio-Wesleyan and owning 17 records at the school. Mason also talks about how NFL draft day went down and his brief stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Maybe he'll be back in the NFL one day! Football also (25:27) gives him a platform to talk about faith in God, how he gets involved in church as an arena football player that has to move around. (29:51) Right after the NAL championship game, he started a new job as Wooster High School (OH) football team's offensive coordinator, after being an assistant coach at a few universities over the last 7 years. (33:14) Being a football player connected to a community is important to him and he loves Columbus GA which he now calls "home." What's his future with the Lions? And as a coach? Maybe he'll be back to go for another championship. (43:32) For "Stuck in my head," hear me do a little rap of sports hype song "Lose Yourself" by Eminem. And in final segment "Parting Gift," a favorite Bible verse from QB Tim Tebow, followed by my closing prayer. Thanks for listening! And tell your friends about the #RunTheRace podcast.
