In honor of Super Bowl LIX this Sunday between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, former Eagles kicker David Akers joins the show!

Akers--a member of the Eagles Hall of Fame--is the team's all-time leading scorer, a 6x Pro Bowler and a member of Philadelphia's 75th Anniversary Team. He discusses the upcoming big game down in New Orleans, adjusting to life after football, his faith in the Lord, and also reminisces about his playing days (including in the Super Bowl with Philadelphia and San Francisco), and his connection to former coaches (such as current Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio). Akers currently does speaking engagements in both the business and faith-based worlds (more info at www.greenakerspromotions.com).

We also take your predictions on who'll win the big game (and the final score)!

Have a million dollar weekend! Go Birds! :)
