Podcast appearances and mentions of John Urschel

Here's a hypothetical scenario I'm sure many of us have faced in our lives: Imagine you were a football player good enough to make the NFL. Imagine you are also a mathematician good enough to get a doctorate from MIT. Which path would you choose? OK, so maybe that's not that common a discernment. But it was the decision our guest today faced: John Urschel first started playing football at Canisius High School, the Jesuit high school in Buffalo, New York. He got good pretty quickly, and he's a big dude. John ended up getting a scholarship to play football at Penn State, where he could also pursue studies in math, which was his first love. He ended up with a bachelor's and master's degree while starring on the offensive line at Penn State. And after his time there finished, he was drafted into the NFL by the Baltimore Ravens. As he embarked on his NFL career, he also enrolled as a doctoral student in mathematics at MIT. After three years in the league, he retired from football to start a career as a math professor, also at MIT. Host Mike Jordan Laskey remembers hearing about John a few years ago when he made the decision to switch career paths. And when we found out he was Jesuit educated, we thought a conversation with him for Super Bowl week would be perfect for the show. John was an incredible guest, speaking so clearly and compellingly about his life journey and the big discernment he made to leave NFL fame and fortune on the table. He's a great representative of Canisius High School and the type of thoughtful, well-rounded, compassionate person Jesuit education aspires to form.

As a sort of "Re-Boot" for The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations podcast after taking the last 6 weeks of 2024 "off" I am choosing to 'start over' this way .... please listen weekly to Down the Rabbit Hole episodes dropped at the start of each week and / or listen daily to these readings from The Daily Stoic-- nuggets as I call them -- of wisdom passed along from Ryan Holiday. Stephen Hanselman and the ancient Greek Philosophers such as Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and Seneca. I hope you will do both. I hope you will consider journaling along with me. I hope it provides some inspiration, even motivation to keep going, to how we do what we do, to why we do what we do in moving forward 'after'...I hope it is a tool that you (like me) might find useful in your life after loss by suicide.The following is an excerpt directly from the book -- they are not my words and are placed here as a sample to help you journal. The full book must be purchased to follow along all year. I am ONLY doing this in January (on the podcast).TODAYS READING January 24 - THE ONLY PRIZEGet your own copy of The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman** “What's left to be prized? This, I think—to limit our action or inaction to only what's in keeping with the needs of our own preparation . . . it's what the exertions of education and teaching are all about—here is the thing to be prized! If you hold this firmly, you'll stop trying to get yourself all the other things. . . . If you don't, you won't be free, self-sufficient, or liberated from passion, but necessarily full of envy, jealousy, and suspicion for any who have the power to take them, and you'll plot against those who do have what you prize. . . . But by having some self-respect for your own mind and prizing it, you will please yourself and be in better harmony with your fellow human beings, and more in tune with the gods—praising everything they have set in order and allotted you.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 6.16.2b–4a Warren Buffett, whose net worth is approximately $65 billion, lives in the same house he bought in 1958 for $31,500. John Urschel, a lineman for the Baltimore Ravens, makes millions but manages to live on $25,000 a year. San Antonio Spurs star Kawhi Leonard gets around in the 1997 Chevy Tahoe he's had since he was a teenager, even with a contract worth some $94 million. Why? It's not because these men are cheap. It's because the things that matter to them are cheap. Neither Buffett nor Urschel nor Leonard ended up this way by accident. Their lifestyle is the result of prioritizing. They cultivate interests that are decidedly below their financial means, and as a result, any income would allow them freedom to pursue the things they most care about. It just happens that they became wealthy beyond any expectation. This kind of clarity—about what they love most in the world—means they can enjoy their lives. It means they'd still be happy even if the markets were to turn or their careers were cut short by injury. The more things we desire and the more we have to do to earn or attain those achievements, the less we actually enjoy our lives—and the less free we are." - all above quoted words from the credited to the authors**I hope you are considering journaling along with us in January__________________________________________________________________________Go to my WEBSITE "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is support central.PS....The FIRST SESSION of the Legacy Writing Project in 2024 has finished & the last one is under way...GET ON THE LIST NOW for the SINGLE Support the show

For decades, Penn State football stood for greatness, on the field and off. Under legendary Coach Joe Paterno, the program was known for doing things the right way – or, as Paterno dubbed it, “success with honor.” But on Saturday, November 5, 2011, everything the team stood for came crashing down. The horrific crimes of former assistant Jerry Sandusky are now well known, but what's often overlooked is the heroism of the young men who rallied to raise Penn State football from the ashes – guys like Christian Hackenberg, John Urschel, Saquon Barkley, Carl Nassib, and Trace McSorley. Acclaimed writer Chris Raymond paints an amazing, behind-the-scenes portrait of their inspiring journey, with his new book, MEN IN WHITE: The Gutsy, Against-All-Odds Return of Penn State Football (St. Martin's Press). About the Author: Chris Raymond has covered sports, politics, and pop culture for 30 years. In addition to various longtime roles at ESPN, Raymond has also been on staff and written and edited for Details, Esquire, and GQ. He lives with his wife and two sons in Westchester County, New York. #pennstatefootball #pennstatenittanylions #pennstate

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, in honor of Superbowl Sunday, we listen back to Mike's 2019 interview with former Baltimore Raven offensive lineman John Urschel. After his time in the NFL, Urschel went on to get a PhD and have an accomplished career as a mathematician. He is joined by his co-writer, Louisa Thomas—who is also his wife—to discuss their book Mind and Matter: A Life in Math and Football. Then, to honor the Sunday political shows, Mike's recent Spiel following up on the question of Kristen Welker's insistence on follow-up questions.  Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara  Email us at thegist@mikepesca.com  To advertise on the show: https://advertisecast.com/TheGist  Subscribe to our ad-free and/or PescaPlus versions of The Gist: https://subscribe.mikepesca.com/  Follow Mike's Substack: Pesca Profundities | Mike Pesca | Substack  Learn more about your ad choices.

No conference-championship weekend in the history of the College Football Playoff has higher stakes than the one upon us right now. And so we turn to John Urschel — newly liberated CFP selection committee member; ex-NFL lineman; and current MIT mathematician — to shed the cloak and drop the dagger. And we learn what actually happens, behind closed doors, as hordes of furious fans demand the favor of a cabal that might be more Office Space than Eyes Wide Shut.

As kids, some of us dream of multiple careers: being an astronaut AND the next president. Or digging up dinosaurs AND selling out concert stadiums. As we get older, there's pressure to pick one path. But what if we didn't have to? After all, John Urschel didn't. He's a mathematician and professor at MIT. But before that, he played football for the Baltimore Ravens. Today on the show, Monday night football! Host Regina G. Barber talks to Urschel about linear algebra and following his dream of becoming a mathematician while living the dream as a NFL player.

Warren Buffett, whose net worth is north of $100 billion, lives in the same house he bought in 1958 for $31,500. The NFL lineman turned mathematician John Urschel is worth millions but manages to live on $25,000 a year. Well past signing a $94 million dollar contract, the NBA star Kawhi Leonard drove the 1997 Chevy Tahoe he had since he was a teenager.Cato, who came from a wealthy and powerful family, walked around bareheaded and barefooted and generally abstained from unnecessary luxuries. He could have afforded to do otherwise, he chose not to. “Nothing is cheap,” his great-grandfather had famously said, “if it is superfluous.”Some might say these men were just cheap, but that's too simple and too unfair.

What's your passion? That one thing that gets you out of bed in the morning? For John Urschel, it's two things: football and math. Urschel followed the football path first, playing in college at Penn State and eventually for the Baltimore Ravens. But during his time in the NFL, he realized how much he missed math…and decided to go back for his PhD at MIT…while he was still competing on the field. Urschel joins the show to tell us about his unique life in football, and how mathematics are key to understanding the sport that's been transformed by analytics. Learn more about your ad choices.

John Urschel is not your typical mathematician. Before earning his PhD in applied mathematics from MIT, Urschel played college football at Penn State and then went on to play in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens. For several years, he was able to juggle both passions and reach the top echelons of both sport and academia. This week – we touch on his unique path & what he's learned along the way.

John Urschel received his bachelors and masters in mathematics from Penn State and then went on to become a professional football player for the Baltimore Ravens in 2014. During his second season, Urschel began his graduate studies in mathematics at MIT alongside his professional football career. Urschel eventually decided to retire from pro football to pursue his real passion, the study of mathematics, and he completed his doctorate in 2021. Urschel is currently a scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study where he is actively engaged in research on graph theory, numerical analysis, and machine learning. In addition, Urschel is the author of Mind and Matter, a New York Times bestseller about his life as an athlete and mathematician, and has been named as one of Forbes 30 under 30 for being an outstanding young scientist. In this episode, John and I discuss a hodgepodge of topics in spectral graph theory. We start off light and discuss the famous Braess's Paradox in which traffic congestion can be increased by opening a road. We then discuss the graph Laplacian to enable us to present Cheeger's Theorem, a beautiful result relating graph bottlenecks to graph eigenvalues. We then discuss various graph embedding and clustering results, and end with a discussion of the PageRank algorithm that powers Google search.

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, former Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel left the game after three seasons to get his PhD in mathematics. Totally normal career path, right? He wrote the book Mind And Matter: A Life In Math And Football alongside his wife, author Louisa Thomas, and they joined Mike in June of 2019 to discuss the similarities and differences between John's two chosen career paths. And then we listen back to Wednesday's Spiel, in which Mike ponders the threat of overstating threats from the right.

Ngày 25 Tháng Một, PHẦN THƯỞNG DUY NHẤT *** “Thứ còn lại đáng trân trọng là gì? Tôi nghĩ - đó là giới hạn hành động và không hành động vào những điều thật sự cần thiết...trong việc chuẩn bị cho tương lai. Đó là những gì mà việc học tập và giảng dạy đang hướng đến - Đó là điều đáng được trân trọng. Nếu giữ vững được nó bạn sẽ không cần phải cố gắng ở những điều khác nữa... Ngược lại bạn sẽ không bao giờ có được tự do, độc lập hay thoát ra được những đam mê thấp hèn và điều tất yếu là trong bạn đầy những đố kỵ, ghen ghét, mưu mô và ngờ vực... Nhưng bằng cách tôn trọng chính tâm trí của bạn và đánh giá cao nó, bạn sẽ làm hài lòng chính mình và hòa hợp hơn với đồng loại, và đồng điệu hơn với các vị thần, ca ngợi và thuận theo những thứ mà tự nhiên sắp đặt cho bạn”. - MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 6.16.2b–4a; Warren Buffett, với khối tài sản 65 tỉ đô, vẫn sống trong 1 căn nhà mà ông ấymua năm 1958 với giá 35.000 đô. John Urschel, nhân viên phụ trách của Baltimore Ravens, kiếm được hàng triệu đô nhưng chỉ tiêu xài 25.000 đô 1 năm. Ngôi sao của San Antonio Spurs, Kawhi Leonard đi trên chiếc Chevy Tahoe 1997 mà ông có khi còn là một thiếu niên, ngay cả khi ông đang có một hợp đồng trị giá 94 triệu USD.Tại sao? Không phải vì những người nàynghèo, mà bởi vì những gì thực sự quan trọng với họ rất rẻ. Không phải tự nhiên mà cả Buffett, Leonard hay Urschel đều làm như vậy. Phong cách sống của họ là kết quả của việc biết ưu tiên những gì thật sự quan trọng. Họ chỉ nuôi dưỡng những nhu cầu cá nhân trong mức thu nhập của mình, kết quả là,cho dù với bất cứ mức thu nhập nào họ cũng đều có thể tự do theo đuổi những thứ mình quan tâm. Nó cứ thế mà xảy ra với sự giàu có vượt qua bất kì mong đợi nào.Và điều này sẽ giúp họ biết điều gì khiến họ hạnh phúc nhất, đồng nghĩa với việc họ sẽ tận hưởng cuộc sống của mình, cho dù thị trường có khủng hoảng, hay sự nghiệp của họ tạm thời đi xuống. Chúng ta càng mong muốn nhiều thứ thì chúng ta càng phải làm nhiều thứ để kiếm được hoặc đạt được những thành tựu đó. Khi chúng ta càng ít thực sự tận hưởng cuộc sống thì chúng ta càng ít tự do hơn. --------------------- # Góp ý về chất lượng Podcast nếu bạn không hài lòng tại đây # Đọc thêm nhiều bài viết về Phát triển bản thân tại đây # Tham gia nhóm Phát triển bản thân của mCoaching tại đây # Mời mCoaching team một ly cà phê tại đây

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

Former Baltimore Ravens linebacker, John Urschel, lived a double-life. On the field, he was a celebrated football player, starting out at Penn State before turning pro and playing in the NFL. But, off the field, a profoundly different, yet equally powerful passion and lifelong fascination consumed human--mathematics. Now, a Ph.D. candidate in mathematics at MIT, he's building a life and living around this pursuit, with a vision to teach. He shares insights about this journey in his book, Mind and Matter (https://amzn.to/2JYDtlh). In today's conversation, explore how these dual passions found a place in his life and were nurtured and pursued. We also talk about his time at Penn State, during what was a very dark period, how he personally experienced it and the choices he made along the way.Check out our offerings & partners: Westin: At Westin Hotels & Resorts, they have a single goal: to help you travel well.

Dan talks math with a smart and unusual giant.

(Originally aired on May 21, 2019)Today, in this archive edition of Midday, Tom's guest is John Urschel, whose resumu233u includes great skill and high achievement in two areas that are not often, in fact, hardly ever, associated: football and mathematics. He is a former offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens who retired from the NFL at the age of 26 to pursue a career in math. The book is called Mind and Matter: A Life in Math and Football. He co-wrote it with his wife, Louisa Thomas. They spoke about the book at the Ivy Bookshop in Baltimore back on May 21st, 2019. This conversation was streamed live on WYPR's Facebook page. You can watch the video here.

John Urschel is not your typical doctoral candidate. Before studying mathematics at MIT, Urschel played college football for Penn State and then in the NFL for three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. Mathematics and football have always been central focuses in his life. He discusses the challenges of juggling both and why he ultimately left football to pursue his PhD.

Guests: Guest: Former Penn State and NFL player John Urschel reflects back on his time with the Nittany Lions and shares why he loves math.  John’s new book, which is already a New York Times best seller, is “Mind and Matter: A Life In Math and Football.” Here is the link to get your copy: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/557242/mind-and-matter-by-john-urschel-and-louisa-thomas/9780735224865/ Then, we wrap up the show with great college football conversation featuring Phil Steele (PhilSteele.com) as we are only a few days away from the release of his 2019 college football preview!

John Urschel is a respected mathematician pursuing his PhD at MIT. He is also a former offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens. He may seem like a walking contradiction, but Urschel’s experiences on the field and in the classroom have brought him closer to understanding how emotion and reason, the body and the mind, are always working together. In MIND AND MATTER: A Life in Math and Football, co-written by Louisa Thomas, Urschel’s partner and an accomplished author and journalist, he invites readers into his unique life, where math and athletics both provide a path to make sense of the world around him. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:John Urschel is a former offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens and a PhD candidate at MIT. He has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in mathematics from Penn State, and in 2013, he won the Sullivan Award, given to “the most outstanding amateur athlete in the United States,” and the Campbell Trophy, awarded to the country's top scholar-athlete in college football. He co-wrote this book, with his partner, Louisa Thomas. John and Louisa live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with their daughter. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

Urschel, the former Baltimore Ravens guard and current MIT math Ph.D student, on his book “Mind and Matter: A life in math and football,” on why he left football at 26 for an academic life, and why he thinks a balanced life is the best life for him.Branch, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Time sports writer, on his book “The Last Cowboys: A pioneer family in the new West,” on the challenge of a ranching family making in the back country of Utah, on his imaginative writing style ... and a discussion on how a great writer also needs to be an excellent reporter as well.

On The Gist, curse the gauntlet that is buying an event ticket online. In the interview, John Urschel played as an offensive lineman in the NFL all while pursuing the PhD that would support an accomplished career as a mathematician. The values he practiced in each field are the same, he says, but there the similarities between pigskin and math end. Alongside sportswriter Louisa Thomas—the two are married—Urschel is the author of Mind and Matter: A Life in Math and Football.  In the Spiel, “lock him up” (and you know who “him” is) isn’t a great call either.

Former Ravens offensive lineman turned full-time mathematician John Urschel talks about his new book, what he's up to now and busts Mink's chops.

It is #WouldYouRatherWednesday, but we'll have to save that for a bit because we have so much to do on today's show. The Warriors won but the Pelicans may have been the bigger winners. Early in the show, former Ravens OL/PhD candidate at MIT John Urschel joined us to discuss his new book "Mind And Matter," detailing his simultaneous love of both football and math. We've long believed he retired due to the injury risk, but is it really that simple? Later in Hour 1, PressBox's chief grand poobah Stan "The Fan" Charles stopped by the studio for a round of "Five Words Or Less," discussing relevant sports figures like Joe Flacco, John Means and John Daly. Midway through Hour 2, #WouldYouRather have a Hall of Fame football career with a Super Bowl win or a PhD from MIT? And we wrapped the show by chatting with five time World Series winner David Cone about his new book "Full Count," competitive balance issues in baseball and whether he's willing to admit there would have never been a Yankee Dynasty without that scumbag Jeffrey Maier.

           We didn't get a chance to talk about JOHN URSCHEL yesterday, maybe we will today, but TYRESE TALK filled the air, sympathy for him, jokes against him – and whether or not, airing your dirty laundry on social media is the thing to do.  It must be the thing to do, for a lot of people, because they do it.  I think readership of FACEBOOK and other medias like Instagram and whatever else you have SNAPCHAT and all that, I believe FACEBOOK has a larger audience than any major newspaper in America – I may be wrong, but you don't hear anyone common referencing any newspaper like they do FACEBOOK, and speaking of reference – It's KINGS IN THE MORNING, right here, right now!

                So, yesterday at the polls, the voting places – the Democrats had some nice wins.  And I know they are excited about that – HOWEVER – you ever see a sports team win, and the commentators talk about the LOSERS more than the winners?  Let me tell you.  Yes the Republicans lost – BUT they did generate numbers and won some of the races.  This is where your focus should be – NOT THE TRUMP factor – count ALL of the votes that were for Republicans and there is the issue.  If you have 45 million people who are for a pimple on your nose, don't treat the pimple, the problem is DEEPER than that, if you catch my drift and speaking of drift – guess who is drifting in? KINGS IN THE MORNING – right here, right now! Johnny Davis WILD WEDNESDAY at 10a!!!!!

John Urschel was the only player in the N.F.L. simultaneously getting a math Ph.D. at M.I.T. But after a new study came out linking football to brain damage, he abruptly retired. Here's the inside story — and a look at how we make decisions in the face of risk versus uncertainty.

Ravens player John Urschel abruptly retired two days after the big CTE study was released and people are saying that is linked to his decision. Is it wrong to jump to that conclusion?

Yanks in first place! UFC 214 tonight Jones vs Cormier part 2! Should OBJ be the highest paid player in the NFL?

The MMQB writers Jenny Vrentas and Robert Klemko talk about their groundbreaking story this week on the stolen Tom Brady jersey, on the crazy web of law enforcement and collectors who caught the jersey thief, and how this incredible story also has tentacles into a former New York Giants running back. Ravens guard John Urschel on the challenges of his second career (mathematics as an MIT Ph.d student), on how he got ridiculously good at math at an early age, and on the diametrically different careers he has chosen--math and pro football.

Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel joins Bram to discuss his role as one of the most unique pitchmen in NFL history. Urschel is studying at MIT with a future in mathematics. Plus, holograms at the Olympics, neuro-programming with the SF Giants and augmented reality being used to help one Heisman candidate.

Our second live show! We chat with Ravens center John Urschel about math and football, debate what Kevin Durant’s injury might mean for the Warriors, and talk NHL trades.

The smartest guy on the team (maybe The Lounge) stops by to discuss why he risks his brain playing football, what kind of math stuff he's working on (in layman's terms) and why he's incredibly frugal. And he and Mink geek out on board games a little. Got a comment or suggestion? Email the show at thelounge@ravens.nfl.net and tell us what you like (or don't like) and what you want to hear.

This is Hilary’s and Roger’s last New York-Baltimore episode! In future episodes, Hilary will be broadcasting from California. In this episode Hilary and Roger discuss collaboration tools and workflow management for data science projects. To date, Roger has not found a project management tool that he can actually use (besides email), but is open to suggestions (from students).

Although he was a clear upgrade in 2014 over the disastrous play at center for the Baltimore Ravens during the 2013 season, Jeremy Zuttah needs to step up his game in 2015. If he doesn't, waiting in the wings is the developing John Urschel. Along the defensive line look for Brent Urban to press Chris Canty for playing time.

John Moe and Mike Fotis discuss Adrian Peterson's camel-riding party entrance, play Steve Miller Band or NCAA Men's Basketball Coach, and praise John Urschel's math wizardry. Then John and Sean Doolittle talk rehab and needless apostrophes.

With March Madness in full swing, Adam and Brandan kick off this week's show talking about some of the rumors that have been swirling around Russell Wilson's contract and around the potential that Michael Bennett could be seeking a trade. On Monday, the NFL announced compensatory picks and the Seahawks now have 11. If you missed Monday's interview with Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog, tune in for a larger discussion on the impact of the Jimmy Graham trade on the upcoming draft. The guys take a look at how other teams in the NFC West have approached free agency and talk about which of the teams between the Rams and Cardinals might provide the biggest challenge for Seattle. We take a look at other emails that came in over the past week before getting into our "Do Better" nominees centered around new rules proposals either being accepted or likely to be shot down. Better at Life honors go to Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel who demonstrates that there can be many well-reasoned arguments around Chris Boreland's decision to retire from the NFL, and Clare Farnsworth is moving on after covering 700 Seahawks games in his long career.

My conversation with the only person qualified to use the Twitter handle @MathMeetsFball -- Baltimore Ravens' offensive lineman John Urschel. Urschel is getting major buzz this week after linebacker Chris Borland retired from the NFL to avoid the long-term health risks of football. Urschel weighed in on Derek Jeter's new website The Players' Tribune with a piece called "Why I Play Football." But that's not the question that drove me to call Urschel. What I set out to learn is how a man whose elementary school teachers considered him "mentally challenged" reached such a high level of achievement in sports AND academics. It was his mother. Once John Urschel gets started talking about his mother he has a a hard time stopping -- and it's hard to stop listening to the dramatic details.
