Only 4 players in the HISTORY of the NFL have recorded 3 100-yard efforts in their first 6 games:Julio Jones in 2012, Amari Cooper in 2015, and Justin Jefferson in 2020 were three of them. The first to ever do it was BYRON WILLIAMS, our guest on this episode of The Approach Shot. We stun Byron with the fact that 78% of the catches he made throughout his career resulted in first downs. Now THAT's clutch! But it's his work off the field with his Best Wishes Foundation, and the NFL Players Alumni

Did we dig deep into his work with the University Heritage Fund, the fund that helps reunite former players with their school and alumni/boosters? You bet we did! Is it possible we talked about his brothers; NBA star Brandon and UCLA baller JaRon? Yes, but not the questions you might think we'd ask. Where on the world's lists of Famous Kareem's does Kareem Rush place? We know, and if you want to know, you have to

For most folks, it's the holidays that brings the greatest joy of the year.For The Approach Shot, it's the time we get to spend with the amazing SCOTT HAMILTON.

If you thought you heard some great stories in Part One of our conversation with TIM BRANDO, just wait until you listen to Part Deux. We talk more about Timmy B's dad Hub and collecting Red Chief bottle caps back in the day. Tim talks about being a boy and wearing a tux and how he'd sing and dance with his Dad. Tim finally gets around to talking about the video of he and Spencer Tillman dancing and how that video went viral (5 million + views!) Best of all, in the 6 pack, Tim puts his play-by-play

Every once is a while, our conversation with a guest is so engaging that we keep the mic hot and just keep rolling. That's the case here with Tim Brando (also known as Timmy B; Timmy Toe Tap and more). We never wanted it to end. So, rather than cut out any great storytelling, we're presenting our conversation with Tim in two parts. This is Part 1, with the six pack and golf talk in our next episode.

Laughs? Check More laughs? You betcha Will you have to put the show on pause so you don't miss anything while laughing? Uh huh But Red Grant also has a serious side, which caused him to run for mayor of Washington DC, and with no funding from any political party, almost won. He cares deeply and this didn't turn into party politics, but you have to respect a comedian who went door-to-door and tried to cause change. Mostly though, we laugh. Again and again. It was like an hour of stand-up when we

Being a professional baseball player means the world to Dodgers pitcher Darren Dreifort. It's given him a life that he and his family are grateful for every day.But being a professional dad and a loving husband? That gives DD the kind of joy that only a father of 4 and a happy husband can experience.

When you grow up in Sacramento and play college ball in L.A; you don't exactly dream of playing in cold weather, in a city that is the quintessential "small market". But the warmth GEOFF JENKINS felt (and still feels) from the Milwaukee Brewers organization is enough to keep the fire lit. Named to the Brewers Wall of Honor, Geoff had the 4th most home runs in Brewers history, only behind Robin Yount, Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder.But it was his one year in Philadelphia that got him his

Bryce Paup's toughness comes from his years of being looked over, played at the wrong position and then BAM! everything clicked. But don't think he just fell into the right situation. His toughness comes from the right attitude, work ethic and doing the right thing over and over again. He'd call himself "old school" if old school means "you reap what you sew."Sure, he has a great sense of humor, and is a proud, protective Dad. And he sure loves to talk about golf, even if
