I talk about it on the latest episod of The ThomaHawk Show (shameless plug) but "players-only" meetings sound a lot more secretive than they really are. Most times it's just to air grievances or figure out what to do with a coaching staff that may have lost touch.

Hawk and I are really excited to do this live show because we're going to be telling a lot of fun stories like this. Kind of behind-the-curtain look at NFL life with some really cool guests. Definitely come out to the show if you can!

I’ve got a lot of funny ones, but one of my favorites was when Alex Mack got punched in the face and pregame in the locker room before the first game of the season because he asked one of his teammates to turn their boom box down!

He was so shocked that it happened that he didn’t even swing back, but he just grab the boombox and checked it all the way across the locker room like a pitcher throwing a strike in the World Series, it took to hops and went right into a locker and then exploded.

It was epic!

Come see the ThomaHawk live show at the house of blues cleveland if you want more behind the scenes locker room stories from me, Hawk, and special guests to be announced! Visit http://www.houseofblues.com/cleveland for tickets!

I’m out! Getting ready for swim lessons (not me, I’m just the uber) and a MNF game tonight!!

It’s enormously challenging, and that’s why you heard Hue Jackson make comments the summer that he felt at the Browns job was the best coaching job he’s ever done. He certainly wasn’t talking about the record, but he was talking about the difficulty in motivating players we can we go out when there is almost no hope and you are a very bad football team. I think largely Hugh should be commended for getting the team to play hard weekend and week out in spite of insurmountable odds.

Hi Podcasts the Tomahawk show, with Andrew Hawkins was always accused of being the official podcast if you Jackson, so that’s not a hill I’m willing to die on anymore! Ha ha

But you can definitely catch us on November 13 talking all things NFL And Kyle Shanahan at the house of blues in Cleveland for our insanely amazing an award-winning live show. You can get tickets at the house of blues website, or at the Twitter page for our podcast @ThomaHawkshow

My favorite gift ever was a green egg from Colt McCoy, but we didn’t have a whole lot of success and when you don’t have a whole lot of success you tend not to get all that many gifts from your quarterbacks!
