Joey Bradley is Living for a Living

Brandon is a retired NFL wide receiver. After being drafted in the 6th round by the Eagles, he played for the Rams, Dolphins, and Patriots. Before the NFL, he was a 4 year starter at Washington State University, where he also played for the basketball team. Now retired, he is the offensive coordinator at Kentwood High School in Washington, where he is from. 

Brandon and I talk about our coaching beliefs and philosophies, Brandon's time at WSU where he was a two sport athlete, as well as his time in the NFL and what it takes to thrive and stay in the league. We then get a little more philosophical and talk about the things and people that drive and motivate us, what we like to do off the field and just our views on life.

Last podcast in Czech. Moving to Finland. Covid test insanity. Vaccines. Logic is a thing of the past. I'm ahead of my time. Political Definitions. 

Jason Gesser was the inspiration for me growing up as an undersized QB. Originally from Hawaii, he went to Washington State where he has been inducted in the Hall of Fame, and is the only player in Cougar history to be named team captain for 3 seasons; among other stats that could take up the entire bio section, that is the coolest one to me. After Wazzu, he was signed by the Tennessee Titans where he backed up for one season before bouncing around the CFL and AFL to finish out his career. After playing he's done everything from coaching high school to college, to broadcasting and now has entered a new profession outside of the sports world for the first time. You're not gonna wanna miss this one.
