55 minutes

HAPPY FRI-YAY! Gojo and his Dad, Mike Golic Sr, are concerned for Cincinnati Bengals fans today after …

(00:40) - Joe Burrow suffered a non-contact calf strain during practice on Thursday and was carted off the field. Golic says injuries are unavoidable in football, it’s just a question of how bad it is. The 9-year NFL vet talks about the year he and his Philadelphia Eagles thought they were Super Bowl bound until their starting QB, Randall Cunningham blew out his knee in Week 1.

(03:09) - The Miami Dolphins take a big blow on the injury front after DB Jalen Ramsey suffered a knee injury that requires surgery that could keep him out 6-8 weeks. As much as that sucks for Miami, Gojo mentions Cincinnati fans should be more concerned because it hits differently when a franchise QB is injured. (06:40) Golic remembers the first year of free agency in the NFL when his season with the Dolphins was ruined after future HoFer Dan Marino went down: “We went from the best record in football to missing the playoffs.” The Golics wrap on Joe Burrow talking about the long-lasting impact of soft tissue injuries.

(12:05) - Gojo and Golic react to Sean Payton ripping Nathaniel Hackett and the former Broncos staff for how they handled Russell Wilson’s first year in Denver. Golic says he “HATES this stuff!” He goes on to say there must be a reason behind Sean Payton slandering a fellow member of the NFL coach fraternity. (16:09) Gojo on the other hand says genuine, public beef between NFL coaches is hard to find so he is enjoying every second of it.

(19:42) - In that same Sean Payton interview, the Broncos Head Coach takes jabs at the New York Jets and how they’ve promoted Aaron Rodgers’ arrival. With Hackett now serving as the current OC for the Jets, Gojo hopes to see this storyline make an appearance on this season of Hard Knocks. (22:30) Golic explains why bulletin board material doesn’t mean a damn thing after kickoff in Week 5 when the Jets face off against the Broncos.

(28:20) - The Golics respond to allegations out of Minnesota calling Head Coach PJ Fleck a “cult leader.” Gojo says everything he’s read from this report feels like 90% of college football programs. Golic thinks this is a result of a football program mirroring the personality of their head coach.

(40:16) - This, That, and the Third: Shohei Ohtani pitches a shutout then hits two home runs in a doubleheader, Joey Votto has a beautiful rant aimed at Mad Dog, and Golic Sr picks 3 of his most prized possessions.
