Jefferson Morley, author and researcher, discusses his interest in the CIA and the JFK assassination. He explains that his aunt's connection to the CIA sparked his curiosity, and his reporting on the CIA's role in Central America led him to delve deeper into the agency's activities. Morley emphasizes that his books are not JFK conspiracy theories, but rather explore the CIA's involvement in the events surrounding the assassination. He also discusses the ongoing litigation to release JFK records and the lack of transparency from the CIA. The lack of corroboration and the unavailability of full testimony from key witnesses, such as Lee Bowers, hinder the investigation into the JFK assassination. However, advancements in technology, such as the internet and digital analysis, have greatly assisted in research and analysis of the assassination. The JFK collection is being digitized, allowing anyone with an internet connection to study the records. The Zapruder film and the Air Force One tape have provided new evidence and insights into the assassination. Jim Garrison, while not the original trailblazer in JFK assassination research, played a significant role in bringing attention to the inconsistencies in the official story. Movies like 'Executive Action' and 'JFK' have influenced public perception, but they are not evidence. The assassination and its aftermath have had a profound impact on government accountability, foreign policy, and public trust in the government.

We have a very special guest today. If you are a football fan, especially of the NFL and the Oakland Raiders, this gentleman needs no introduction. He was drafted by the Raiders in 1971 out of Bowling Green State after a sterling performance in the Senior Bowl and was the 1971 AFC Defensive Rookie of the Year. He was involved in one of the most famous plays in sports and NFL history, the Immaculate Reception play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1972 AFC Playoffs. He was also in the nostalgic Sea of Hands game against the Miami Dolphins in the 1974 AFC Playoffs. He was a Super Bowl winner in Super Bowl XI, in which he made a momentum-changing goal -line tackle that forced a Minnesota Vikings fumble recovered by the Raiders, who handily defeated the Vikings 32-14. One of the fastest linebackers of his era, known for his big playmaking ability and coverage skills, he made 5 Pro Bowls over his 13 NFL seasons with Oakland from 1971 to 1979 and then Buffalo from 1980 to 1983. After his football playing days were done he has enjoyed a very successful career in the logistics business. In 2018, he was inducted into the Senior Bowl Hall of Fame. In 2019 he was a Senior Class candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

We have a very special guest today. If you're a football fan, especially of the NFL and the Miami Dolphins, this gentleman needs no introduction. He was drafted in the sixth round of the 1973 NFL Draft by Miami as an offensive lineman out of Duke, where in addition to being a football All American in 1971, he was also an ACC heavyweight wrestling champion in 1970 and 1971.
He played in the last three Super Bowls that the Dolphins have appeared in, the last of which was 1985. He played 13 NFL seasons with the Miami Dolphins from 1973 to 1985 and was named a four consecutive Pro Bowls from 1981 to 1984. He was also named to the all pro second team for the 1981 to 1983 seasons and was first team all pro in 1984 when he enjoyed his greatest season as a professional.
He has been inducted into the Duke Athletic Hall of Fame, the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, and the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in Israel. He was also inducted into the Miami Dolphins Walk of Honor in 2014 and the St. Thomas University of Florida Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.

We have a very special guest today. If you are a football fan, especially of the NFL and the Miami Dolphins, this gentleman needs no introduction. He was drafted in 1964 by San Diego in the 14th round of the AFL Draft and by Philadelphia in the 13th round of the NFL Draft from Los Angeles State. He started his pro football career as a defensive end with the San Diego Chargers in 1965. During his 3rd season with San Diego he was cut and then signed with the Buffalo Bills, where he played 5 seasons at defensive end, offensive tackle and center. He retired after the 1971 season with the Bills. Then the Miami Dolphins traded for his rights and Dolphins coaches Don Shula and Monte Clark were able to convince him to unretire. He served as the team’s long snapper and was the backup to future Hall of Fame center Jim Langer that year for the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins, who completed a PERFECT 17-0 season by defeating the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII. He played 12 AFL NFL and WFL seasons and finished his NFL football career in 1974 with the New York Jets. He also played parts of two seasons with the World Football League’s Jacksonville Sharks and Jacksonville Express. After his football playing days were done he enjoyed a very successful career in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the real estate and appraisal industry.

Welcome! And thank you for joining us today on the Heroes and Icons podcast. I am your host, Greg Randolph.
We have another special guest today. If you are a baseball fan, especially of the Houston Astros and great minor league affiliates like the Round Rock Express and the San Antonio Missions, this gentleman needs no introduction. He was named the President of Business Operations for the Houston Astros in May 2013, becoming one of the youngest team presidents in baseball. His time in Houston included the best stretch of on-field success in franchise history, as the Astros captured the 2017 World Series title as well as the American League pennant in 2019, and the creation of the Astros Hall of Fame, among several other notable renovations and accomplishments which will forever be felt by Astros fans and Minute Maid Park visitors.
He grew up in the Astrodome as a bat boy for the Astros while his father and Hall of Famer Nolan pitched in the Astrodome in the 1980s. He later pitched collegiately at the University of Texas and Texas Christian University, winning two Southwest Conference titles. He pitched two seasons in the Texas Rangers organization after being drafted in the 17th round of the 1994 MLB Draft. He became the sixth member, and first executive, to be inducted into the Round Rock Express Hall of Fame on August 16, 2019. He was also the executive producer of the amazing and widely acclaimed baseball movie, Facing Nolan, which I personally recommend. Fantastic movie.
Presently he is the CEO of Ryan-Sanders Sports & Entertainment. Obviously, along with his brother Reese, he is one of Baseball Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan’s two sons. My guest today on the Heroes and icons podcast is of course, Reid Ryan!
Here we discuss present day happenings at Ryan-Sanders Sports and Entertainment, what makes a baseball organization run, the greatness of his dad Nolan Ryan, how critical his mom Ruth was to Nolan's career, the Astrodome, the meaning of baseball, how his faith in God has carried him through his stellar baseball career, and a whole lot more. Please sponsor the Nolan Ryan Foundation to help make a difference in the lives of youth with their education as well as community development in and around the Austin, TX area. Thank you for listening!
