An NFL player tried to run him over with his car. He survived a crash in another car driven by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. He rode in John Madden’s bus, and even piloted the Goodyear Blimp into a U-turn. Oh, the humanity. Yes, covering the NFL has been an interesting ride for Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times. Sam takes us along on those journeys, and he puts us in some other unique places that have dotted the path of his decorated career from covering America’s favorite sport. Find something unexpected in Al Davis’ hotel suite. Float in the Dead Sea with Joe Montana and other Hall of Fame players on a trip to Israel. Oh, and play a round of golf with Donald Trump. Hear the reaction of the former President when Sam tried to settle their bet after 18 holes. It’s priceless.

Come back for another round on July 7 when we are hanging out with George Diaz!
