Former NFL's Defensive Player of the Year and 12-year veteran for the Cleveland Browns, Jerry Sherk, sits down with Mark Glicini to have an insightful, vulnerable conversation about his journey, athletic transition, and philosophy. Named to four Pro Bowls, Jerry was honored by the team in 2005 by being named a “Cleveland Browns Legend.” Not only is Jerry commonly considered to be one the best defensive players in NFL history (after not going out for football until senior year in high school), Jerry was also a wrestler at Oklahoma State University. After retiring from the National Football League, Jerry went on to earn a masters in psychology, to research extensively the topic of “Athletic Transition,” and to be a national consultant for youth mentoring programs. Over the last 25 years, he has been the Director of Education and Training for the California Mentoring Partnership. Listeners will hear Jerry's perspectives on the power of mentors, the hero's journey, and how seemingly the worse things in life turn out to be the best things for us down the road.

Darryl Earl Clack is a former American football running back in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He also was a member of the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League. He played college football at Arizona State University. After his playing days, Clack went to the University of Texas at El Paso earning a B.A. in Kinesiology and Sports Studies. He moved around the business world for a time and settled into the banking business as vice president at Compass Bank in Tempe, Arizona, not far from the Arizona State University campus. After banking he accumulated over 15 years of extensive experience in management and leadership at various companies including Cox Communications. He then earned an M.A. in Organizational Management from the University of Phoenix and was in his first year of working towards a Ph.D. when he fell ill to Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a rare autoimmune blood disorder. In addition to TTP, in July 2016, he learned of his early-stage dementia diagnose, due to years of trauma to the head from playing football. These traumatic events, three months apart, prompted Darryl to write the book "Hear My Story Before I Forget" and start a foundation to bring awareness to TTP and brain injuries. Although he is no longer playing ball, he keeps his hand in the game as President and co-founder of SportMetric, along with co-founders Josh Jakubczak and Darius Perry, a company emphasizing education, community involvement, and athletics for the youth. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dadcastco/support

This week Johnathan, Jim, and Jason have Lorenzo Neal on the show. Lorenzo is an American former professional football player who was a fullback in the National Football League for sixteen seasons. Neal played college football for the Fresno State Bulldogs. He was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the fourth round of the 1993 NFL Draft. In this episode they dive into being a Champion of influence as a former athlete to their own children. Also what does life look like after sports and how do you find fulfillment when your playing career is over at any level. Finally, they are going to discuss the importance of understanding your identity. You are more than an athlete. Sports are simply something you do, they are not who you are. This is why athletes need to understand that there is a good possibility your greatest years to make a difference in the world come after you're done playing, not necessary while you're playing.

NETWORK SPONSORS https://sportshistorynetwork.com/row1/ (Row One) - the vintage shop for sports history fans! EPISODE SUMMARY Dan Carlin is the host of Hardcore History, one of the most popular podcasts out there. His show was one of the inspirations for me to start my podcast in the history space, and I must admit, I emulated his show format in the beginning. When I reached out for an interview with Dan Carlin, I never in a million years thought I'd get a "yes, sounds fun."   My theory was to bring Dan on for some historical perspective about the state of America during World War II and try to find a way to tie it into the NFL. I had heard him talk reference football during some of his episodes as a way to describe how the battle unfolded, strategies devised by Generals, and for many other reasons. So, I figured he had at least some knowledge of the game. What came next was delightfully surprising. I had a "pre-interview" phone call with Dan during Christmas break to figure out how I was going to bring up football with a mostly military history podcaster. Dan blew me away in that short conversation regarding his knowledge of the game's history and his affinity for the sport.   We scheduled a time for the interview and then I was sent into a tizzy trying to figure out how I was going to have this interview with one of my "podcasting heroes." Ultimately we landed on some great topics, and if you know Dan at all, you know he is a masterful storyteller that doesn't need much prompting to go off into a tangent about a topic. These are not those "how long is this going to take" types of tangents.   Oh no. These are one of those "holy crap, I just listened to this dude for an hour and I thought it was only a couple of minutes" type of things. He's my "driveway moment" podcast. I can remember listening to the first episode of "King of Kings" on the Hardcore History podcast and literally waiting in my car for at least 15 minutes, maybe 30, after I got home. And this was all because I just had to know what was coming next. But let me not take any time away from you getting into this interview. Instead, do yourself a favor and listen to both of these episodes. Then, you have to go binge Hardcore History. YOu'll come out of it blown away, I guarantee it (yeah, that's like a Joe Namath guarantee situation). Here are some of the topics we get into: We get into me telling Dan about that driveway moment I referred to Dan shares his origin story of falling in love with football Dan relives some moments in NFL history What causes fans to be so loyal to NFL or a team A little about the terminology used in football compared to wartime His time working with Jim Brown The never-ending conversation of players across generations and could they compete Much more... THE FOOTBALL HISTORY DUDE BACKGROUND https://sportshistorynetwork.com/podcasts/the-football-history-dude/ (The Football History Dude) is a show dedicated to teaching NFL fans about the rich history of the game we all know and love. I'm your host, Arnie Chapman, and I'm just a regular dude that loves football and is a nerd when it comes to learning about history. I created this show to share the gridiron knowledge nuggets I gain from researching various topics about the history of the National Football League. Each episode I welcome you to climb aboard my DeLorean to travel back in time to explore the yesteryear of the gridiron, and yes, that's a reference to the Back to the Future Movies.

The IPL auction for media rights began on June 12 and went on for three days. The auction was for TV broadcasting and digital streaming rights for the next five year cycle – from 2023 to 2027. The BCCI has made a mind-boggling ₹ 48,390 crore from this auction. BCCI President Jay Shah has claimed that this makes IPL the second most lucrative media property in the world, after the US's National Football League, and ahead of the English Premier League. How is IPL able to generate such a huge valuation? And how will this massive injection of liquidity impact the sport going forward?

The fight to clinch the media rights of Indian Premier League for the next five years was no less intense than the matches itself. And the money put on the auction table made the IPL world's number two sports league, with only America's National Football League ahead of it in terms of per-match value. So why has the race to grab the TV and digital media rights become so intense despite a dip in IPL viewership? And what do the winners stand to gain?   But not all business models are as lucrative as IPL. Scores of companies are floated every year and some return to the pavilion without playing a long innings. Ravi Mittal, chairperson of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI), recently said that there should not be any stigma attached to genuine business failure and companies should be given honourable exit. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 was introduced in May, 2016 to tackle bad loan problems. But it has been plagued with high haircuts for banks and delays in the resolution process. So what can be done to achieve quicker resolution? Markets too take a beating when a big company falls. Meanwhile, key benchmark indices cracked around 3 per cent on Monday. The Indian Rupee, too, recorded a new all-time low. Against the backdrop of the yesterday's fall and overhang of global sentiment, our next report tells what lies ahead for the markets, and what are the key support levels to watch out for? Not just scorched earth and people living on it, a good monsoon also soothes the economy and markets too. Weather and economy are closely linked. In this episode of the podcast, we explain how nature still rules over us, despite all the technological advances. 

It had all the ingredients of a racy cricket match -- something which we usually see during IPL sessions. And a lot was at the stake. Global tech majors Amazon, Alphabet and Apple Inc were among the giants vying for the media rights to broadcast IPL matches for the next five years. But on Friday, the three US giants dropped out of the race, leaving seven competitors in the fray. And of them, Viacom18, Disney-Star, Sony and Zee were involved in the bidding war for the Indian Premier League's 2023-27 cycle. In Monday morning's session, the IPL TV and digital rights auction had closed at a total value of Rs 43,255 crore, which translated to Rs 105.5 crore per match. That value subsequently increased to Rs 44,075 crore. Meanwhile, the revised per-match value stood at Rs 107.5 crore. A Business Standard report, while citing sources, said that there was an incremental bid of 50 lakh rupees placed in the television category, thus taking the per-match value for TV to Rs 57.5 crore from Rs 57 crore, which was the figure at the close of bidding on Sunday. The total value of IPL TV rights now stands at Rs 23,575 crore for 410 matches. Meanwhile, the digital rights have also increased to Rs 50 crore per match, or Rs 20,500 crore overall, from Rs 48 crore per match or Rs 19,680 crore earlier. And the winner were Viacom 18 and DisneyStar. While Viacom 18 bagged the digital rights for IPL, DisneyStar got the television rights. These numbers have propelled IPL to the spot of the number two sports league in the world. The per-match value of the IPL has touched Rs 107.5 crore. This is second only to America's National Football League, which costs a broadcaster Rs 132.26 crore per match. The English Premier League costs Rs 85.58 crore per match. Let's put the growth in valuation in perspective. Disney-Star had bagged the combined digital and TV rights for the IPL in 2017 for Rs 16,347.50 crore. Back then, the per-match value stood at Rs 54.5 crore. These numbers will also come as a big relief for the IPL and BCCI. In recent weeks, a sharp fall in IPL's TV viewership had led some to question the base price set for the media rights. Sony Pictures Networks India's MD and CEO NP Singh had told a financial daily that the reserve price needed a reality check amid this decline in viewership.  Compared to last year's figures, IPL's viewership fell by 30-35 per cent in the first four weeks of the 2022 season. In fact, with viewership falling consistently, reports said that some advertisers had even asked Disney-Star to make good their losses by offering them spots on alternate high-impact properties. So, what explains the premium that IPL still commands? Also, what will be the impact of TV and digital rights going to different players? The BCCI and IPL franchises are the biggest gainers from the auction. The money involved in the auction has also made a few things clear -- IPL is still a hot property for both media houses and advertisers. It is still a one-of-a-kind asset that helps broadcasters gain an additional user base and gives advertisers sway over hundreds of millions of viewers. But, there is one concern that needs to be addressed. In May it was reported that the CBI has started a country-wide probe into the alleged fixing of IPL matches. There is even a Pakistan angle to it. Were the IPL's credibility to be damaged, it would be a huge step back after Indian cricket's giant leap on Monday.

Tim grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and attended Millard North High School and is the 'baby' of a family of 3 brothers. While he stands at 6'8 275 present day, he graduated high school 100 lbs lighter at the same height which led to his recruitment for college football being delayed. He attended D2 Neb. Omaha before eventually ending up at Northern Illinois for 4 years, which later blossomed into a 5 year stint bouncing around the National Football League. He majored in organizational/corporate communication and later Kinesiology, and after retiring from football now has settled in as the Director of Strength & Performance at Nashville MMA East, which happens to be where Drake trains his Jiu jitsu.

It's not because I don't like podcasting. It's because of the topic, something that's not directly related to football history, although there are for sure some crossovers. On May 25, 2022, Konnor James McFarlin lost his battle with depression. Konnor, age 17, is the son of Jeremy McFarlin, host of the Football Is Family podcast (and someone I can call a friend via the network). Jeremy was the number one supporter of the Football History Dude podcast in the beginning, and he has been there for all of us on the network. We all reach out our condolences to Jeremy and his family during these tough times. And one of the tough things we learn in this interview is that Jeremy believes he has not gotten past the first phase, denial. He knows the anger will hit him like a ton of bricks one day, but he doesn't know when. We get into this conversation, our plea for anyone with thoughts of suicide to reach out to someone, and convey the belief that sometimes all it takes is to be someone's friend to help them out.

When Football Is Football is part of the https://sportshistorynetwork.com/ (Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear). NETWORK SPONSORS https://sportshistorynetwork.com/row1/ (Row One) - the vintage shop for sports history fans! EPISODE SUMMARY In 1946, the Chicago Bears won still another championship in the National Football League under head coach and owner George Halas. Yet, this was not an ordinary year for both Halas and the Bears. Not only did the team rebound from an ugly 3-7 finish in 1945 to finish with an 8-2-1 title-winning performance in 1946, but Halas and many of his players literally “came back” from lengthy service commitments in World War II. During this episode of “When Football Was Football” on the Sports History Network, we'll examine how Halas (and his players) were able to merge back into the NFL after their often-horrific experiences during the war. How does a coach discipline a player who has encountered the challenges of modern warfare and the hopeless brutality that went along with it? And, how does a coach even attempt to establish team rules for mature, former soldiers who might now view the game of football as child's play after being shot at just months previously? Read the entire episode blog post and check out some other cool info regarding this https://sportshistorynetwork.com/football/nfl/1946-chicago-bears (episode here). WHEN FOOTBALL WAS FOOTBALL BACKGROUND Each episode takes the listener back to the very early days of the National Football League. Author Joe Ziemba will share a forgotten or lost story from one of the NFL's two oldest teams: The Bears and the Cardinals. Team championships, individual exploits, or long-buried items of interest from the earliest years of the NFL will be dusted off and resurrected for the listener. Not for the football faint-of-heart since these programs will document when the struggling Bears nearly went out of business or when Cardinals' players earned $15 a game and were proud of it! It's NFL history—with a twist!.

In January 2003, Neomaya started the Police Academy at Camden County College in Blackwood New Jersey. While there, he made the Dean's list, came in 1st place in handcuffing, and 1st in his class in shooting, pushups, sit ups, pull-ups, and most of the other athletic competitions. After the academy he was quick to establish a name for himself in the Camden City Police Department. Strong and agile with book smarts, “Neo” or “The One" was a Nickname given to him representing the main character from “The Matrix”. He describes his undercover experiences to be his favorite because he is so confident in his acting ability that it actually keeps him calm. And it also has kept him alive for 7 years as an officer in one of the most dangerous cities in America. Neomaya retired in April 2010, and has recently done 3 YouTube videos about the illegal quotas, unfair labor practices, insurance fraud within the Police Department, and more. These videos have drawn the attention from major newspapers and news channels such as the Philadelphia Inquirer and Fox News. While serving the citizens of Camden City, Neomaya also played semi-pro football for the Voorhees Vikings, attended 3 National Football League professional football combines, and is still listed as a free agent. He also started his own company named Davila Enterprises LLC.   After retirement, he founded www.neosspiritbeads.com, neomayadavila.com aka neopositivity.com.

Johanna Faries is currently the General Manager of Call of Duty. She is highly involved, especially with their Esport league, where she is head of the league. She was also the commissioner of Call of Duty Esports before transitioning to this role. Prior to that, she worked at the National Football League where she was Vice President, she was involved in business development and marketing strategy and fan development, and she was on a pathway to continue to rise up that corporate “ladder.” She's also a musician. When she graduated from Harvard, she moved to California and started writing songs and making music. I think what makes Johanna really unique is that she's got multiple sides to her. She is a complex person. She's highly driven, she's highly ambitious, but she also has a lightness to her that is really likable and is really refreshing. She's clearly very smart and very bright, but she's also someone who seems to be trying to be grounded.     Johanna had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “I've always been thinking about spirituality, thinking about relationships with larger forces than ourselves… why are we here type questions” (7:15). “I often have felt burdened by my obsession with theology and the spiritual path” (9:10). “I balance those questions, that are often never-ending and open-ended questions, with very tactical work day-to-day as a business executive” (10:00). “I'm fascinated by all of us because I think we're all wrestling with the same question” (10:45). “It is a very scary part of the process to actually stop and reflect and really think about how fulfilled your soul might be” (13:15). “If I could spend 30 minutes a day interviewing people like you're interviewing me and ask them ‘Where are you in the faith journey?', no matter what the response is, I find it fascinating” (13:30). “It's where I'm at now, I don't know where I'm going to be at 3 years from now” (15:10). “It's not just this time of great resignation or the great pandemic, it's also this moment of great permission to pause collectively and reflect” (18:00). “What does great leadership look like going forward? What level of empathy needs to come through each and every day to enable people to do their best work?” (19:05). “I am so goal-oriented as a leader, I'm so big-picture, so vision-setter, I sometimes lose sight of the intricacies of the people doing the detailed work actually enabling you to summit in the first place” (22:00). “I have really learned how important it is to stop and check in with all of those parts of somebody on my team. It matters. It matters to building trust, it matters to seeing them as more than just getting to the top of Mount Everest” (23:40). “I've learned how to not under-express my tendencies around introversion because my version of being an introvert means that solitude is my happy space” (26:30). “I exert high extroverted energy in my roles as a business leader, but I also need these moments of solitude to really recharge” (26:50). “I have to really think about how I'm going to spend my time for maximum impact” (29:15). “Every day cannot be so rote that the predictability undermines creativity” (30:00). “Every great leader thinks about time, energy, focus, and the triangulation of those things” (31:05). “I feel very blessed in this moment in time because these passions have all intersected and interwoven in ways that feel very balanced” (31:45). “Creativity and art have this power that goes beyond language, nationality, our indoctrinations, and our individual choices” (35:45). “I'm a both/and kind of a gal” (41:40). “There's nothing more powerful than great storytelling to move people” (50:40). “Everything is timing. What isn't timing?” (52:30). “What an amazing time because of the convergence that's happening” (57:30). “We're connecting dots all the time” (1:06:40). “We've created a societal normality around perfectionism” (1:10:35). “We are inundated with the self-talk and the external factors that are pouring into us to feel insecure, to feel imperfect, to feel not enough” (1:11:00). “I'm not secure because life isn't secure and it's always changing” (1:12:45). “It changed my life in so many ways for the better to get curious about industries that I knew very little about” (1:14:25).   Additionally, make sure to check out Johanna on LinkedIn!
