The original Odd Couple of Sports Journalism and Podcasting, Paul knows nothing about sports and Mike is a proverbial walking encyclopedia on the topic. Yet, Paul wanted to be part of the podcast and thought he could ask some legitimate questions (not) - so he focuses on success, prior to, during and after the player has stopped playing. Mike peppers them with great questions and it all culminates in Mike's "lightning" round. Which can't be missed. If you like sports - this podcast, about retired professional sports athletes, is for you. This week's guest is Thomas Smith , cornerback (defensive back) played with the Buffalo Bills, the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts . Thomas had a great career as a defensive end with the Buffalo Bills from 1993 to 1999. Thomas also played in Super Bowl 28, which you might recall, Buffalo won. From there, Thomas moved on to Chicago and played for the Bears for a few years. That contract earned Thomas $22M dollars. This is when Paul met him, shortly after signing with the Bears, he moved onto the street. Paul lived too. A chance encounter bonded a relationship that has lasted since 1999. Humble but also driven, Thomas is as much a success today as he was when playing ball. Tune in and find out why! Aftersportspodcast.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/paul-j-burt/support
