2024/11/24

There's a reason he's called the Pro Football Guru- two dozen years at ESPN working with Chris (Boomer) Berman, Tom Jackson and the crew gave him the home at which he could use his remarkable research skills. Working with CBS' Thursday Night Football, CBS sports Radio, NFL Network, Fan Sided and so many more honed his incredible skills.But he's not just football. He loves his golf and loves his family and we get to talk about all of that and more. RUSSELL BAXTER is a great talent, a great man and

People ask why we love doing The Approach Shot and talking with actors, athletes, authors and others about their lives and their golf games. It's episodes like this, where we talk with one of the most humble and real celebrities you'll ever meet, Gregory Harrison. He is just as excited to talk about his almost 50 year acting career as he is about his golf game. Having just come off shooting a 75 the day before we talked with him, he shrugs and says, "if I had just chipped a little better, my

2024/11/10

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

When you play college football for UCLA, one of LA's two big college football programs, you are certainly not guaranteed a part in a popular TV show. DONOVAN CARTER is the exception. His hard work, good fortune and persistence landed him the part of Vernon Littlefield on HBO's hugely successful "Ballers" (starring Dwayne Johnson). Still humble, funny and grateful for his success, Donovan is a terrific young man, still hungry and feeling blessed. Our conversation reveals how much Donovan

2024/10/20

He was a first round draft pick of the Denver Broncos. He went to the Super Bowl as a rookie and played with guys like Peyton Manning and Von Miller. But the Broncos lost that game, and it was humbling for Sylvester Williams. Two years later, the Broncos won Super Bowl 50. Not bad for a guy who only started ONE high school football game, after which he was a walk-on at Coffeyyville Community College, then transferred to North Carolina and was named All-ACC and then an All-American as senior.

2024/10/06

To a baseball purist, Pete LaCock was a dangerous hitter. His eye, his plate discpline and his ability to come through in the clutch allowed him to have a terrific 9 year MLB career before playing in Japan. But it's his love for the game, his rivalry with Hall of Famer Bob Gibson, and his famous family (and their friends) that make this such an endearing conversation with a great storyteller. If you're a Cubs fan, Royals fan, fan of Hollywood Squares, My Three Sons, The Dick Van Dyke Show or just

He hit 50 HR's in one season and over 300 for his career and was considered one of the most dangerous sluggers in baseball. So much so, that one of baseball's most colorful owners changed a long-standing rule just for him.

Get ready for a heart breaking, jaw dropping, but equally uplifting episode of The Approach Shot with Tampa Bay Buccaneers center Randy Grimes. Randy tells his very personal story of being addicted to opioids, mostly so he wouldn't lose his spot on the roster. Not wanting to be "the guy who is always in the trainer's room or on the injured list" Randy did whatever it took to stay in the line-up. That included getting hooked on painkillers until the end of his career. For years after, he

A 6 year veteran of Major League Baseball, turned pre and post game host for the Cincinnati Reds on Bally Sports, Sam LeCure certainly has the resume to be a strong guest on The Approach Shot. What we didn't know is that he is also funny, has some hilarious, but also heart breaking stories of his time in MLB and by the end of the show, you'll feel like you made a new friend. We certainly felt that way. Have a listen; this is a great episode.
