The Grueling Truth

As if things couldn't get any worse for our beloved New York Jets, they traveled to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars this week and dropped their 2nd in a row losing 29-15 to Doug Marrone's bunch. To look back at another disappointing loss, CJ "The Painkiller" DeSimone and Kevin Jackson aka @SpottyBlackman with the help of Michael Lagares from the A.E.B.G. Podcast give their thoughts on the game and what needs to be fixed going forward. Plus, we also give our thoughts on the Kelechi Osemele situation.

Join Mike Goodpaster and Anthony Cervino as they look back at sunday's games!

Before he left South Korea to challenge Ray Mancini for the world lightweight title, Duk-Koo Kim promised his pregnant fiance that one of them would die in the fight. He punctuated that prediction with two additional symbols of his intent -- a coffin he kept next to the ring during training camp, and a lampshade he brought with him to Las Vegas embossed with an ominous message written in Korean.
What happened in the ring at Caesars Palace 37 years ago changed the lives of both fighters, Kim's mother, and referee Richard Green.
The story of the infamous and tragic Kim-Mancini fight is one of multiple stories told by Dr. Jonathan Gelber in a sensational new sports book, entitled "Tiger Woods' Back and Tommy John's Elbow: Injuries and Tragedies that Transformed Careers, Sports, and Society."
Dr. Gelber, a sports medicine doctor and orthopedic surgeon, joins us this week for an in-depth preview of his book, which also delves into Lyle Alzado's belief that steroid use caused his malignant brain tumor, the deaths of college basketball superstars Len Bias and Hank Gathers, the fatal crashes of auto racing legends Ayrton Senna and Dale Earnhardt Sr., the NFL's obsession with protecting its star quarterbacks, how Tiger Woods' "perfect" swing destroyed his spine and diminished his career, the elbow surgery that saved Tommy John and countless baseball players who followed, and much more.
Our conversation with Dr. Gelber is preceded by our weekly report from British correspondent Paul McLaughlin, who brings us an inside peek at last Saturday's spectacular showdown between 140-pound unbeaten champs Josh Taylor and Regis Progais at England's 02 Arena.
And we open with insight from expert analysts Rizwaan Zahid and John J. Raspanti, who offer their own perspective on Taylor-Prograis, Shakur Stevenson's dominating performance on Showtime, Tyson Fury's suggestion that he'll retire after three more fights, the reasoning behind the WBC's absurd "Franchise Champion" label, and Errol Spence's decision to face Danny Garcia in his first fight since surviving that horrific 100-mph Ferrari crash in Dallas.
Needless to say, this week's podcast has wall-to-wall appeal.

Geroy had a long and successful Hall of Fame career playing 17 years of professional football. He spent a couple years in the NFL with the Bengals, Eagles, Steelers and Bucs, with the majority of time spent with the Buccaneers. The majority of his playing career was in the CFL and the BC Lions, but he also spent time with the Blue Bombers and Roughriders. He has developed a love for cooking since retiring and loves to spend time grilling up food on the BBQ. Growing up in the Pittsburgh area, football was always big for him and his family. His love for the game developed at a young age, however he didn’t start playing organized football until 7th grade. He grew up loving basketball as well and played that along with track and field as a kid. He just loved to play all kinds of sports and compete. Basketball was his first love, however football was where he excelled the most and would be his best sports option. He chose to attend the University of Maryland after high school due to their run-and-shoot offense that they had which was similar to what he had at his high school. It would give him a chance to showcase his skills as a receiver and have a prominent role on the team. He played as a true freshman and had an immediate impact on the team. After college, he was not drafted, but was signed by the Cincinnati Bengals. He was released by the team and bounced around a few teams, including his hometown Steelers, until he landed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The next year he was on their practice roster for the whole season before being released. As a guy who tends to play best when “the lights are on,” he didn’t get a true chance to show what he could do in the NFL. He did get his chance in the CFL where he excelled when he landed with the BC Lions. He won 3 Grey Cups while in the CFL with each carrying special meaning to him. The 1st one he won in 2006, which was his 1st championship at any level. His last one was with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and in that game he recorded his first 2 touchdowns in the Grey Cup game. After retiring, he knew he wouldn’t come back even if approached by a team. He was offered a position with the Roughriders by Brendan Taman, who brought him to the league originally while with the Blue Bombers years prior. He then was offered a position with the Lions, where his family was which he happily accepted. He is now the Director of Canadian Scouting with the team and has seen an improvement in the level of Canadian talent in the game.
