In today's episode of the Packernet Podcast, Ryan dives into the strange contract situations developing across the NFL — with a spotlight on TJ Watt and Trey Hendrickson. He explores why deals that once seemed automatic are now dragging on, and whether this reflects a broader trend of teams devaluing aging stars. Could the Packers be a surprise contender in the Watt sweepstakes? Ryan also fields fan calls on forgotten NFL rule changes, seasonal rankings, and how the Packers' 2024 roster looks deeper across the board. Strap in for another jam-packed offseason breakdown!

USAF Major (Ret.) Dr. Steven Ramos joins Rich LaMonica to share how his 28-year Air Force career—from U-2 pressure suit tech to elite jumpmaster & combat therapist—led to a new mission: saving veteran lives through mental health advocacy. Growing up in the Bronx, Steve dodged street violence and drugs by enlisting in 1993 as an E-1. His path led him to the skies over Afghanistan, 12 combat drops, and 2,000+ parachute jumps with the Wings of Blue. But it was his own battle with mental health and PTSD that redefined his calling. In this powerful episode of The MisFitNation, Dr. Ramos dives into: ✔ How military toughness masks mental wounds ✔ The cost of silence around PTSD and addiction ✔ Why therapy isn't weakness—it's warfare against suicide ✔ His founding of More Life Center for Wellness in Florida, delivering 3,000+ wellness sessions in 2024 Dr. Ramos' story is a beacon for anyone ready to lead with vulnerability, courage, and service—long after the uniform comes off.

With this episode coming out on the the eve of the 4th of July, it makes sense that the guest is all about the American flag, In fact, this military veteran has carried it on nearly 750 races across almost 12,000 miles. Incredible! Why and how does he do it? Give this a listen and subscribe to the podcast, tell others about #RunTheRace. (3:54) I met Billy Richards (from NY) at "mainly marathon" races last year and again last month during my 3 races of 26.2 miles in 3 days. He did 11 straight 50Ks. He talks about carrying the USA flag and/or a ruck sac to symbolize carrying the burden of veterans. Your body can do more than you think. He slows the intensity and can run a lot more, and more days. His experience (10:26) as a former Marine and Army paratrooper made for a tough transition to civilian life, like many vets. Working out compulsively helped, but there was no purpose behind it. It became a "mission" when he carried those items like the American flag at all these fitness challenges. Billy also describes some of the crazy parts of the "Death Race" team event. (23:54) This personal trainer also describes pushing your body, getting lost and in the zone with a task like running 100 miles. You'll want to hear his story about his legs not working and him ending up in the hospital after his first race that distance. Then, he almost broke the world record for most 100 milers completed in 1 year - which led to hop surgery. (36:50) Running for a cause can be an extra motivator for all of us. For Billy now, it's Operation Vest, who helps provide counseling services for veterans to prevent suicides. Donate here: https://www.operationvest.org/campaign/billyrichards/. After we talk about the true meaning of freedom, with this holiday here...and also his current/future goals...i close out the pod in prayer. Thanks for listening to the #RunTheRace podcast!

Today he has risen from the ashes as a powerful motivational speaker, helping others find strength in their lowest moments.

Louis Bourgault was 16 years old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor - too young to formally join the military. After his father rejected a teenage plot to go join the Canadian forces, Bourgault enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps when he turned 17. After grueling basic training at Parris Island, Bourgault was tapped as a message runner. He was soon off to San Diego and then shipped to New Zealand. After spending time loading and unloading ships at Guadalcanal, it was soon time to enter the fighting.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Bourgault gives an unvarnished look at basic training and how it prepared new Marines for war. He also describes a Japanese torpedo attack at Guadalcanal. From there, he takes into the combat on Bougainville, where Bourgault and many others fought both the Japanese and tropical ailments.Bourgault then shares his vivid memories of the difficulties in getting onto the beach at Iwo Jima, what he saw there, and being medicially evacuated a short time later. He also remembers seeing the U.S. flag atop Mt. Suribachi and what it was like to hear the war had ended several months later.Lastly, Mr. Bourgault shares how much it means to him that so many Americans make a point of thanking him for his service.

From the NBA Draft's celebration of young potential… to the crushing reality of a combat-wounded American veteran deported to Korea… to U.S. airstrikes in Iran… to the devastating impact of Trump's so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” — Bobby and Dan pull no punches. We connect the dots between war abroad, betrayal at home, and a government more interested in tax breaks than taking care of those who serve.

In episode 38 of The Footballguys Dynasty Football Show, Jeff Bell and Dave Kluge discuss veterans who could be nearing the end of their careers.

Veteran journalist Carla Sosenko has written for The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, People, Self, Newsweek, and numerous other publications. Her work has also appeared in Time Out New York (where she was editor-in-chief), Entertainment Weekly (where she was executive editor), In Touch (where she was managing editor) and Us Weely (where she is currently executive editor at large). She is also the co-author of A Dirty Guide to a Clean Home: Housekeeping Hacks You Can't Live Without, written with TikTok star Melissa Dilkes Pateras. In her just-published collection of essays entitled I'll Look So Hot in a Coffin: And Other Thoughts I Used to Have About My Body, Carla writes with candor and great good cheer about growing up with a rare congenital vascular disorder known as Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome—a disorder that shaped the way she looked out at the world, and the ways the world looked back in turn. “If you are thin, even if you are too thin, life is inherently safer,” she writes. “The world order puts thin people at the top, with the rest of us below struggling for air. Many of us have been gasping for decades.” In her new book—hailed by Harper's Bazaar prior to publication as “raw, vulnerable, and utterly hilarious—she breathes deep and sounds a clarion call for anyone who has ever been made to feel like an outsider or told they should take up less space.

Episode 80 of The Mental Game brings aboard former All-Pro NFL cornerback Jerry Azumah.Azumah played seven seasons for the Chicago Bears, earning a Pro Bowl and All-Pro selection in 2003. His NFL career came on the heels of a super successful four years at the University of New Hampshire. Under then-head coach Chip Kelly, Azumah starred as a running back, winning the Walter Payton Award as the  top offensive player in all of Division I-AA.Given his college success, Azumah was blindsided when he found out the Chicago Bears intended to draft him as a defensive back. When they did just that in the fifth round of the 1999 NFL Draft, Azumah was forced to adjust — to learn his sport from the opposite point of view: as a defender.As he describes in this episode, the growing pains were grueling — but the subsequent life lessons were enlightening.Azumah figured it out for nearly a decade in the NFL. Now, he focuses on his family, his philanthropic work, and on his burgeoning media career.

The highly anticipated "F1: The Movie" is set for release next week, boasting an impressive 89% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Actor Brad Pitt was seen driving a 2023 MCL60 at COTA, adding to the film's buzz , and the F1 director has teased a "Days of Thunder" crossover as a potential sequel concept. Veteran driver Fernando Alonso has achieved a remarkable milestone, having started an astounding 35.7% of all F1 Grand Prix races in history. Young talents Dino Beganovic and Alex Dunne are set to gain valuable experience in Free Practice 1 (FP1) at Austria, stepping in for Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris, respectively. In organizational news, the FIA has restructured, resulting in the dismissal of Sara Mariani, its Head of Sustainability, Diversity & Inclusion. Istanbul race organizers have publicly stated their readiness to host a Grand Prix if the new Madrid circuit isn't completed for the 2026 season. Liberty Media has received unconditional approval to acquire MotoGP, with the deal expected to finalize by July 3, 2025. James Vowles has signed a new long-term deal with the Williams Formula 1 team, seen by drivers like Alex Albon as a powerful "vote of confidence". The podcast also features an in-depth look at the Austrian Grand Prix's rich and varied history across multiple venues, from the Zeltweg Airfield to the current Red Bull Ring. Max Verstappen has notably dominated at the Red Bull Ring in recent years, securing multiple victories. The 2024 Austrian Grand Prix saw a dramatic race where George Russell secured victory for Mercedes after a collision between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, who were fiercely battling for the lead. Ferrari's 2025 underperformance is primarily attributed to a fundamental issue with their car's design, specifically its difficulty in running very low to the ground without incurring excessive plank wear in high-speed corners. Both Ferrari and Red Bull are anticipated to introduce substantial upgrades to their cars, with a particular focus on the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix. Key talking points for the upcoming weekend include whether Max Verstappen can reassert dominance on his home turf, Mercedes' momentum after Russell's 2024 win, McLaren's superior tire management, the impact of Ferrari's upgrades, potential track limits issues, and the performance of junior drivers in FP1.

Duty, Sacrifice, and Character: The Unshakable Resolve of LTC Daniel Gade This week's Team Never Quit guest, Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Gade, brings us a story of courage, sacrifice, and resilience that will leave you deeply inspired. A two-time Purple Heart recipient, LTC Gade served with distinction in Iraq, where he led soldiers in some of the most hostile environments and endured life-altering injuries in the line of duty. But as you'll hear, his story didn't end in combat—it began a new chapter of leadership, healing, and purpose. Born on a North Dakota farm and raised with a strong sense of patriotism, Daniel always knew he was destined to serve. After graduating from West Point, he rose through the ranks as an armored officer, company commander, and eventually a wounded warrior whose leg injury nearly claimed his life. Through a long and painful recovery, his faith, family, and unrelenting grit propelled him to become a policy expert, White House veteran, Ph.D. holder, and educator at the very academy that shaped him. This conversation goes beyond the battlefield to explore themes of honor, duty, and the character that defines true greatness. Whether you're in the military or not, Daniel's story will challenge you to reflect on your own purpose and what you're willing to sacrifice for it. In This Episode You Will Hear: • I worry about whether the wars that we fought in – were they the right thing to do? I wonder if our national leadership is courageous enough to understand that these young men and women - their blood should not be sacrificed in vain. (9:53) • I hope our generation will do a better job of deciding when and where to go to war. (10:59) • I graduated West Point in '97 (13:47) • [Marcus – On 9/11] They sat us down. They hey had all the TVs on the wall. As we were watching it, the second one [plane] hit. (18:46) • My tank was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade on November 10th, and it killed the soldier next to me and wounded me mildly. (23:35) • I remember looking at him and the next day was veteran's day. And I remember thinking: “I know he's dead, but his parents don't know he's dead yet. And they're gonna find out on Veteran's Day.” (25:53) • At 26:25 Daniel recalls the experience of being hit by an IED. • It's a miracle that I'm alive, honestly. (28:41) • I end up spending a year in the hospital. (28:57) • People ask me if I have PTSD and I don't, but when I was unconscious, I had horrible, horrible dreams. (30:55) • I went from user-level wounded warrior, just a guy in a hospital bed, to being the guy whose office is overlooking the west wing from across the street. (38:05) • The book is called “Wounding Warriors”. It's on Amazon. (43:4) • The generosity that we do have for veterans is actually too much and in the wrong direction because it incentivizes all the wrong behaviors. (44:18) • The system itself disincentivizes wellness and positivity. It causes people to quit and to disengage from society. (48:08) • The whole system is basically welfare. (50:24) • What we need to do is re-orient the system towards employment and thriving, and towards changing goals from seeing how much money people can get to seeing how good an outcome they can get. (55:06) • We ought not label someone disabled until they've gone through the full rehabilitation process. (55:28) • If you want more of something, incentivize it. If you want less of something, tax it. (56:15) There's 6million people getting disability compensation, and 3.2 million of them are getting it for Tinnitus – ringing of the ears. (58:40) • We should take care of veterans the right way. Not turn them into welfare queens.
