How do you cover a Hall of Fame career that spanned decades in an hour? You don't, so we talked with Hall of Fame Coach DICK VERMEIL about things that gave him joy; his family, his wines, the fact that his players love and respect him, and how he was able to get the best out of his players.

Coach tells stories about his belief in Kurt Warner, his love for his coaches, the incredible story of Vince Papale, his time off the field and in the broadcast booth, his climb to the top of the mountain (winning the Super Bowl) and how active he still is at 88 years young.

What a joy and honor is it is have Coach Vermeil spend some time with us on The Approach Shot.

Reggie Williams isn't mad, he just wonders why, as do we and so many others.

But, Reggie has a lot of other things on his mind, like helping Disney create the Wide World of Sports complex, like fighting the pain every day that his body withstood and the 24 knee operations he needed. Certainly, the fact that his left leg is 3 1/2 inches shorter than his right leg and how his strength and perseverance gets him through each day.

REGGIE WILLIAMS' story is one of will, of mental toughness and gratitude. And we're honored to have him as our guest on The Approach Shot.

Sure, they are the hosts of The Approach Shot, but John and Neal were both radio personalities first. On air DJ's that spun records. So whenever a big time music act appears on the show, they geek out a little. And what a guest this week!
BURLEIGH DRUMMOND (yes the word "Drum" is in his name) the drummer and original founders of the band AMBROSIA ("How Much I Feel", "You're the Biggest Part of Me", "You're the Only Woman", "Holdin' On To Yesterday" takes us for a Magical Mystery Tour of the 50+ of years of AMBROSIA, but also talks about Alan Parsons, Bruce Hornsby, The Beatles and others that have been part of their half century of music.

Burleigh also talks about how golf was a big part of his life when he was younger and how he was able to bond with his Dad over golf.

**He also got John and Neal's jaw to drop when he shocked us with a story of one of his Dad's friends who used to drop by and teach him golf. It's NOT who you would guess.

If you grew up listening to "soft rock" or "Yacht Rock", you're going to love this episode. Or to borrow the title from an Ambrosia song, this episode is Nice, Nice, Very Nice"!

Jason Campbell had a great 9 year NFL career. He played with All Pros, became part of Raider Nation and will always be a War Eagle.

But the stories of Southern food, Al Davis and how HGTV's "Home Town" has changed his beloved Laurel, MS are beyond your traditional interview. This was a lively chat with a friend, and when you listen, you'll feel like Jason is your friend, too.

This episode of The Approach Shot is as entertaining as it gets!

Want to hear Scott Hamilton do a famous guitar riff? You will!
Want to hear Scott drop a name, or two, or three, or four? Oh, he will, but only because they're his friends.
Want to hear us all choke up thinking of the loss of Dick Button and the horrific memory of Flight 5342 that crashed outside Reagan National Airport? You will and we aren't afraid to show it.
Want to hear the "rest of the story" on how Scott found out he'd be the flag bearer in the 1980 Olympics? You will

This episode is wall-to-wall with laughter, emotion, stories and love. You get it all in this incredible episode of THE APPROACH SHOT with our good friend SCOTT HAMILTON. Simply put, we love this man!

If you think you know Gerald Riggs for plowing through defenses and scoring TD after TD, you only know one side of this amazing man.

Take a listen to this episode of The Approach Shot and get to know ALL sides of GERALD RIGGS.

The world of the NFL isn’t easy, even for a talent like Adrian Colbert. His passion for both football and golf comes through in this highly personal episode of The Approach Shot.

Sure, we talk with All Pro and Pro Bowl wide receiver Carl Pickens (one of the top 50 Bengals of all time) about his time in Cincinnati, his incredible collegiate career that made him an All American at Tennessee, and being 1992's NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. You'd have to cover those subjects when talking with Carl.

But we also talk with him about being a self-proclaimed mama's boy, loving his Mom's tater tot casserole, and his upcoming 25th wedding anniversary (you HAVE to hear that story).

There's a difference between the player and the man, and we're lucky enough to get to know both on this episode of The Approach Shot.
