The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Former NFL Lineman Geoff Schwartz joins the show to tell the story of how his wedding day landed on the same day as legal tampering. How he was with his groomsmen, readying to walk the aisle while making the decision to join the NY Giants. Then Geoff gives his thoughts on why having a star center and star tight end is the latest chapter in the continuing evolution of professional football. He says it's in response to the plethora of incredible pass rushers. He adds that all the talk about how hard it is on the players to move is ridiculous. You're rich. You're fine. Then Director Bryan Bishop stops by to chat the Academy Awards. His documentary, Growth, is a must watch. He says One Battle After Another is a lock, and thinks that the drop off of Hamnet is for the best. As Vince Lombardi once said, "It ain't bragging if you done it." Dave Dameshek and the gang did just that on this episode of Football America! (NOTE: This episode was recorded before the Kyler Murray trade to the Vikings.)

The 63rd Governor of Maryland sits down with Dan Le Batard for a deeply personal conversation about the moments that shaped his life and leadership.
