Unconventional Wisdom

This edition of Uncoventional Wisdom tackles the issues of sexuality and inclusivity in the NFL. Scott Fujita, Brendon Ayanbadejo and Chris Kluwe conduct inspirational and educational interviews with former players Dave Kopay, Esera Tuaolo and Wade, all of whom are openly gay.

In this special Super Bowl Week edition of “Unconventional Wisdom”, Scott Fujita, Brendon Ayanbadejo, and Gabe Kapler, take a look back at the before, during, and after of becoming a champion. The guys break down the process of preparing for the biggest games of their lives, and reveal that sometimes the biggest stresses have nothing to do with the competition itself. They share the memories that have stuck with them over time, and the things they wish they could do differently if the process played out all over again. Finally, they explain how one championship experience has changed their lives forever, and opened up their world in ways they never imagined.

Scott Fujita shares his tale of just how strict (and ridiculous) team curfew can truly be during Super Bowl week.

Gabe Kapler explains why helping the 2004 Red Sox reverse the curse felt like a truly out of body experience.

Scott asks Brendon and Gabe for their best advice for the Seahawks and Broncos players entering Super Bowl week.

Scott explains why he’s still looking for a “make-good” from President Obama when it comes to his championship White House visit.

Brendon Ayanbadejo explains how the perseverance of O.J. Brigance drove his Ravens to their Super Bowl championship.

“Unconventional Wisdom” dives into the always changing, always hush-hush world of drugs in professional sports. Scott Fujita, Brendon Ayanbadejo, and Gabe Kapler discuss how far they, and their colleagues, were willing to go to find an advantage. How does the perception of PED use square with the reality? Just how widespread is marijuana, and recreational drug use in professional sports? And where would our crew of thoughtful ex-pros draw the line between fair and foul?
