Bonus Weekend Podcast: Football Stories for Superbowl Sunday

The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 4, 2017

Super Bowl LI is this Sunday, and for this Bonus Weekend Podcast, we wanted to revisit three football interviews, that we hope might make you see the game a little differently. In 2006 I spoke with Sportscaster and former football star Pat Summerall about what happens after you leave the field. In 2013, Nicholas Dawidoff talks about what he uncovered spending an entire year with the New York Jets. And in 2015, former NFL player George Koonce, Jr. joined guest host Andy Borowitz to discuss his book Is There Life After Football?: Surviving The NFL.
