We have been fortunate to have multiple NFL all Pros as our guest on the show. We have had many MLB All Stars too. But in 170 shows, we have only had ONE Hall of Famer as our guest and that was PGAHall of Famer Tony Jacklin. So it is our honor to welcome DWIGHT FREENEY to the show. Dwight is a great storyteller, is an incredible student of the game and has a terrific sense of humor. Especially about his golf game. This episode is a must listen!

His dad, Mark Patrick (Storen) is a celebrity in Indianapolis (and nationally) for his work on television and the syndicated Bob & Tom radio show. He is also, related to one of the great sportscasters ever; Hannah Storm.But DREW STOREN made his own way by being a virtually unhittable pitcher in high school and at Stanford before pitching in the Majors. In his second year in the big leagues, Storen became the closer for the upstart Washington Nationals and saved 43 games. His love for the

Yes, he is a three time Pro Bowler with the Seattle Seahawks. Yes he is a two time national champion with the Trojans of USC. But where did the fire and passion come from? LOFA TATUPU credits his family and talks with love and reverence about his dad LOFI TATUPU (who was a star in the NFL with the New an England Patriots).

Michael Floyd is just a regular guy. He golfs, works in real estate in Greater Minneapolis (where he spent some time during his previous occupation; as wide receiver in the NFL.)OK, so he's no regular real estate agent. He set records for total catches, touchdowns and receiving yards at Notre Dame, and is one of the greatest receivers in Cardinals history. But, he'll still sell you a house! His passion comes through whether you're talking about his family, his time in the NFL or about golf.

He's been called a "manager's dream".Johnny Damon once said of him "Just to be his teammate is something I will always remember." ELLIS BURKS is a great story teller with so much wisdom to share, which he does with humor, charm and grace. You're going to want to hear the story of the year that he and the Red Sox broke the curse and how it effected him personally. Not to mention how EB handles the 6 pack! (Here's a hint- he aced it!)

Vencie Glenn, the man picked John Elway off and ran back the INT 103 yards, which was an NFL record that stood for 18 years, has so many great stories and shared many of them with us. Vencie’s 35 career TD’s made him a prolific ballhawk but we didn’t realize he’d also intercept the 6 pack!! This is an incredibly entertaining episode of The Approach Shot.

Named Sporting News Manager of the Year with the Pirates, CLINT HURDLE took a team, its loyal Pittsburgh fan base and energized them enough to make the playoffs. This is a team that struggled for almost two decades. You start as a manager in the Mets organization and work, and work, and work your way up through the minors until you catch on with Colorado and their hitting coach. The rest, including the fire, the passion and the love for the game, is well documented. Now, his quips, daily

What was it like in the New England Patriots' locker room at halftime of Super Bowl 51, with the Pats losing 21-3, and having played their worst of half of football all season?What could possibly have been said to motivate them to overcome a 25 point deficit and make the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, defeating the Atlanta Falcons in overtime 34-28? You may be surprised, and CHRIS HOGAN, one of the Pats' wide receivers tells that story; his personal stories of grit, determination and how

It’s 2025! Our first new episode in the New Year is one of our favorites! Long time MLB pitcher Scott Feldman, who pitched in the majors for 13 years is our guest and together we wish everyone “Shalomha”! As the only Hawaiian-born Jewish player to ever play in the big leagues, interestingly Shalom and Aloha both mean “hello”, “goodbye” and “peace” in their respective tongues. So why not start the New Year with a new word? It’s just part of the fun we had with Felds talking baseball and

He loves golf almost as much as he loves hitting a WR across the middle. His love for Missouri is only matched by his love for his adopted home- Atlanta. An All Star for the St. Louis Cardinals and a Pro Bowl (alternate) for the Atlanta Falcons, Brian Jordan's excellence didn't care which sport he played (though he admits to loving the contact of hitting a wide receiver over the middle more than hitting a home run).These days his love for Atlanta extends to his Brian Jordan Foundation which

If you vacation in Canada and want to have people buy you a Molson, mention Ernie Whitt's name. He is practically royalty in Canada, a member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and a beloved All Star catcher for the Toronto Blue Jays. In fact, he was the last "original" member of the Jays, having been drafted by the Red Sox, but the Blue Jays took him in the expansion draft, as he was the anchor of the team for a decade. His power at the plate and his defensive prowess behind the plate

WALLY BACKMAN is our guest on this episode of The Approach Shot and yes, he was part of the team that broke the Red Sox faithful's hearts. He too, watched Mookie Wilson's ball go under Bill Buckner's glove, but has a different perspective on that play and others. He also gave back so much to the game he loves by managing in the Minor Leagues and was able to impart
