Robert Bailey from Rosenhaus Sports joins the show to share his powerful story of losing his daughter to mental health struggles and how that tragedy has inspired him to raise awareness. He discusses a charity event organized by Rosenhaus Sports to support mental health initiatives and help families in need. Bailey also weighs in on high school athletes receiving NIL opportunities, explaining why he believes NIL is ultimately a positive development for young players
On Friday, the guys cover the Dolphins' quarterback conundrum, NBA All-Star Weekend and beyond. They debate Tua Tagovailoa's future, including the possibility he could return next season or be moved, and discuss Miami's interest in Malik Willis, big contracts, and building a core of young talent. Mike Florio joins to break down the trade market, Tua's historically bad contract, NFL prediction markets, and the Raiders' number one overall pick, while the crew also reacts to Trinidad Chambliss earning a sixth year of college eligibility. They touch on baseball news with Nick Castellanos being cut by the Phillies and reflect on Miguel Cabrera's career, plus lighter moments like All-Star Weekend highlights, youth sports pressure, and NIL opportunities for high school athletes with Robert Bailey.
In Hour 2, the guys question why NBA stars continue to avoid the Dunk Contest — with even past winner Mac McClung sitting it out — and make their picks for the 3-point contest while debating whether All-Star Weekend has lost its edge. They also discuss Trinidad Chambliss being granted a sixth year of eligibility and use Shedeur Sanders' draft slide as a cautionary tale about hype versus reality. The conversation then shifts to the Dolphins, where Joe and Hollywood get heated over the possibility that Tua could be back next season and potentially battling Quinn Ewers for the starting job, strongly rejecting any comparisons to a Sam Darnold-type resurgence. Robert Bailey from Rosenhaus Sports joins to share his powerful story about mental health advocacy and weigh in on NIL opportunities for high school athletes

Attorney Nathan Hill is a lawyer practicing with the highly respected Huntsville law firm of Lanier Ford. In fact, I have previously done podcasts with Lanier Ford lawyers Andy Sieja, Laura Harper, Alabama State Senator Sam Givhan and Robert Bailey, a retired lawyer and now full time author. As I learned on this podcast, Nathan diverted into the practice of law after a realization that his lack of a 90 plus mile an hour fastball would probably prevent him from getting to the major league! Nathan has made quite a name for himself in the time he has been practicing law to include receiving many accolades and serving as the past president of the Huntsville Bar Association Young Lawyers Section and as a chosen member of Class 19 of the Alabama State Bar Leadership Forum. I enjoyed getting to know Nathan on this episode of the podcast.

Wall Street Journal bestselling author and attorney Robert Bailey consistently delivers propulsive legal thrillers that have earned him a passionate and devoted following of readers worldwide and favorable comparisons to John Grisham. His ten previous books have received wide critical acclaim for the tight pacing and twisty plots, as well as for their complex, layered characters who often grapple with ethical dilemmas. Bailey's eleventh thriller, THE BOOMERANG, is somewhatof a departure for the celebrated writer. It's a political, conspiracy thrillerfeaturing a breakneck road trip from the White House to the dusty plains of rural New Mexico. It's also his most deeply personal book to date, as the story was inspired by his experience having a ringside seat in 2017 to two battles against cancer—fought by his father, who passed away, and his wife, who survived, thankfully. ABOUT ROBERT BAILEYRobert Bailey is the Wall Street Journal bestsellingauthor of the Jason Rich series, which includes Rich Justice, Rich Waters, and Rich Blood; the Bocephus Haynes series, which includes The Wrong Side and Legacy of Lies; and the award-winning McMurtrie and Drake legal thriller series, including The Final Reckoning, The Last Trial, Between Black and White, and The Professor. He also wrote the inspirational novel, The Golfer's Carol. The author lives in Huntsville, Alabama, with his wife, Dixie, and they are the proud parents of three children, two dogs, and two cats.

This week, I got to talk with Robert Bailey about his emotionally driven action thriller The Boomerang. We dive into the inspiration for the book, the research he did for certain parts, and his favorite parts of writing the relationships in the book.The Boomerang SynopsisThe president of the United States has terminal cancer. Chief of Staff Eli James, his faithful consigliere and best friend, is one of the few who know. But just as the president's condition mysteriously improves, Eli's hit with another blow: his daughter has cancer too.Hell-bent on helping her, Eli turns to Big Pharma's top lobbyist for advice, but their encounter yields more questions than answers. As he races along a twisted trail to the truth, he stumbles upon a devastating cover-up worth billions of dollars—and millions of lives.Armed with this deadly secret, Eli goes rogue, fleeing with his family out west. To keep them safe, he forms an uneasy alliance with land baron Nester “the Beast” Sanchez, known for his ruthless power tactics. An epic showdown brews, and it's the state versus one desperate citizen, willing to risk everything to save his daughter. Can Eli broker a truce with his once allies? Or will there be war in the desert? Check out the Bookwild Community on PatreonCheck out the Imposter Hour Podcast with Liz and GregFollow @imbookwild on Instagram

Attorney Sam Givhan is very well known in Huntsville and, really, throughout the state of Alabama. A highly respected attorney, Sam is currently a law partner at Lanier Ford which is based in Huntsville. By the way, you can listen to my podcasts with other Lanier Ford partners Andy Sieja, Laura Harper, and former law partner and now full time author, Robert Bailey. Sam also serves our area and the state as an elected Alabama State Senator. Sam, as you'll hear, comes from deep farming roots down in south Alabama. He has an engaging personality, and it is evident that he has never met a stranger! It is no wonder that Sam has a large constituency, along with his legal clients, that are grateful for his help and service. As an aside, Sam also does a good bit of charitable work in our community. I haven't talked to Sam for many years, really since he was doing creditor's work in bankruptcy court a long time ago. It was good to catch up with him on this episode of the podcast.

In 1983, Spruce Pine, North Carolina set a record for the smallest town to ever have a professional sports team, a record that remains intact to this day. In an act of perseverance and blind ambition, a remote town of only 2,000 residents ended up with a 5,000-seat hockey stadium. In part one of The Mighty Bucks, reporters Sean and Louise Flynn introduce us to Robert Bailey, a starry-eyed stove maker who knew nothing about hockey, but battled the elements and mixed expectations to build the Pinebridge Bucks.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.golongtd.comIt's easy to pinpoint the moment everyone in the huddle knew Brett Favre was a different breed. He was in college. He played a football game against Alabama one month after having 36 inches of his intestines removed. The result of a car crash that easily could've ended his life. Seeing this — up close — quite obviously empowered all teammates beyond their imagination. Somehow, Southern Miss shocked No. 13-ranked Crimson Tide.This became the story of Favre's football life, Start No. 1 to No. 321. Packers players have said repeatedly they'd run through a wall for their quarterback. On Episode 2 of “FAVRE” — exclusive to subscribers — the three-time MVP continues to open up like he never has before. As stated, the goal of Go Long is to always deliver football in its rawest form. The good, the bad, the ugly. You'll always get unfiltered, unvarnished coverage here, and nothing is ever off-limits with this show. There's never been a Favre before, never will be again and he'll open up on everything to bring you as close as possible to real football.Each episode, we'll connect the past with the present with endless untold stories.As young quarterbacks across the league try to make their own leap — and win over locker rooms — Brett Favre isn't afraid to open up wounds from his own life. On and off the field.You won't want to miss Episode 2. Audio is above. Video is below.A few topics discussed: * Favre should have vanished into oblivion early in his career. He opens up on his extreme alcohol usage, the byproduct of an addictive personality. Having just one beer was an impossibility. Favre admits he'd drink until he completely passed out. Somehow, he'd party ‘til 4, wake up at 7:30 and train just as hard as he drank. He easily could've been Johnny Manziel. Two specific turning points — Green Bay nearly benching him in ‘94, going to rehab for his painkiller addiction in ‘96 — got his life back on track. He quit drinking in 1998, too. * His year in Atlanta — 1991 — was wild. Favre hit it off with Deion Sanders. He got into four or five bar fights, too. * Favre sees himself in Josh Allen, and offers a solution. There's a needle the Buffalo Bills can thread to get the most out of their own gunslinger.* Yes, we get into Aaron Rodgers and the Achilles injury heard ‘round the world. Would Favre try to come back from this injury? What does he expect out of Rodgers? His perspective on this seismic storyline is obviously unique. He remembers The End well and would love to share his wisdom… if only Rodgers would return his calls. * You've probably heard many of Larry Bird's epic trash-talking stories from the ‘80s. Favre has many of his own, and shares one classic from ‘99. There's a reason he gave Lions' Robert Bailey a throat-slash gesture. * The blow-by-blow account of his college car wreck is certifiably nuts. How he managed to upset Alabama after having those 36 inches of intestines removed and losing 35 pounds is even crazier, and explains how he was able to galvanize an entire locker room.* What does Favre think about Jordan Love two games in? He's been watching closely and sees teammates rallying around their new QB. They want to fight for Love. Beyond the numbers — to him — this is a phenomenal sign.

Look out for those bloodthirsty trees and turn every sentence you speak into a question as we run incomprehensibly towards M. Knight Shyamalan's The Happening. Who told Mark Wahlberg that acting smaht just meant raising the inflection of your voice up at the end of everything? Is Zooey Deschanel the only cinematic example of the Depressive Pixie Dream Girl? (And if so, thank god for that.) And can we all just agree no one ever wants travel hot dogs? Like Marky Mark, we've got more questions than answers with this episode.
Long-time Director of Fallingwater Lynda S. Waggoner joins Tim to discuss the lasting impact Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece at Bear Run has had on how the nation continues to perceive house and home. This episode was originally released April 30, 2018. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Fallingwater.mp3 Frank Lloyd Wright was born right after the American Civil War in Wisconsin. He started his career in 1887 and was a well-known architect well into the 20th Century. He was the originator of the organic approach to modern architectural design and construction. By 1934, however, many considered him past his prime. He was in his late 60s, in his third marriage, and there wasn't in as much demand for new commissions. The Kaufmann family owned a highly successful department store company in Pittsburgh, and they had a weekend retreat at Bear Run about 90 miles away where the family enjoyed the beauty of nature. One of the key features of the property were the Bear Run water falls. In 1934, the Kaufmann's and Frank Lloyd Wright came together to create an architectural masterpiece that continues to remind us of what a house and a home can be.

Waggoner Lynda S. Waggoner, former Vice President of Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and Director of Fallingwater, was affiliated with the Frank Lloyd Wright masterwork since first serving as a tour guide during her high school days. She now is widely regarded as one of the nation's foremost authorities on Fallingwater. “Lynda Waggoner understands Fallingwater in a way that few others alive do…because she is a direct link to the Kaufmanns and an indirect link to Wright,” wrote American Institute of Architects member Robert Bailey in a review of Waggoner's book, “Fallingwater: Frank Lloyd Wright's Romance with Nature.” Those teenage days at Fallingwater inspired her to study architecture at the University of Kentucky and art history at the University of Pittsburgh, where she earned dual degrees in art history and anthropology with summa cum laude honors. Her first professional position was as curator of the Museum Without Walls, originally an outreach program of the Baltimore Museum of Art after which she was named curator of the Jay C. Leff Collection of non Western art. In 1980 she became the first executive director of Touchstone Center for Crafts, now a nationally recognized crafts school. A native of nearby Farmington, Waggoner returned to Fallingwater in 1985 as a curatorial consultant and became full-time curator in 1986. A year later, she was named site administrator in addition to her curator's role. She was named director in 1996. Waggoner is past president of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, past Vice President of the Greater Pittsburgh Museum Council, past chairman of the Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau, and past vice president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Museums. She currently serves on the Board of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy and the Community Foundation of Fayette County and the Advisory Board of Preservation Pennsylvania. In 2007 she received the “Wright Spirit Award” from the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy for her service in the preservation of Wright buildings. In 2004 she was awarded the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal by the Pittsburgh Chapter and in 1997, she was named the Distinguished Alumna Lecturer for the University of Pittsburgh's Frick Fine Arts School of Art History and Architectural Studies. She has lectured widely both here and abroad including presentations at the White House, The Getty Museum in Los Angles and The National Building Museum i...
