Only 4 players in the HISTORY of the NFL have recorded 3 100-yard efforts in their first 6 games: Julio Jones in 2012, Amari Cooper in 2015, and Justin Jefferson in 2020 were three of them. The first to ever do it was BYRON WILLIAMS, our guest on this episode of The Approach Shot. We stun Byron with the fact that 78% of the catches he made throughout his career resulted in first downs. Now THAT's clutch! But it's his work off the field with his Best Wishes Foundation, and the NFL Players Alumni Association that gives him the most joy. There's giving back and then there's giving yourself. He does both. His book "Playbook for Life" is a roadmap for men who want to live with clarity, courage and conviction and is available at byronwilliamsbook.com. It's a joy to talk with, laugh with and share stories with BYRON WILLIAMS on The Approach Shot. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Where on the world's lists of Famous Kareem's does Kareem Rush place? We know, and if you want to know, you have to listen!

For most folks, it's the holidays that brings the greatest joy of the year. For The Approach Shot, it's the time we get to spend with the amazing SCOTT HAMILTON. One can't help but feel the joy he brings to every conversation, whether it's talking bout how he has fought cancer for 50 years now or doing a riff from his favorite song. He honors his Mom with his tenacity, he gives us all tears of joy with his stories (the Steven Tyler story is hysterical) and we laugh over the silliest things as if we were best friends growing up. It is with great pride and extreme happiness that we present our third (annual) episode with the incredible Scott Hamilton, presented by Fan Duel and sponsored in part by Ghostbed.

If you thought you heard some great stories in Part One of our conversation with TIM BRANDO, just wait until you listen to Part Deux. We talk more about Timmy B's dad Hub and collecting Red Chief bottle caps back in the day. Tim talks about being a boy and wearing a tux and how he'd sing and dance with his Dad. Tim finally gets around to talking about the video of he and Spencer Tillman dancing and how that video went viral (5 million + views!) Best of all, in the 6 pack, Tim puts his play-by-play hat on and calls his own (imaginary) putt on the (imaginary) 18th hole.

Every once is a while, our conversation with a guest is so engaging that we keep the mic hot and just keep rolling. That's the case here with Tim Brando (also known as Timmy B; Timmy Toe Tap and more). We never wanted it to end. So, rather than cut out any great storytelling, we're presenting our conversation with Tim in two parts. This is Part 1, with the six pack and golf talk in our next episode. Don't miss stories of how Tim grew up in the spotlight and did song and dance as a young boy, his "in booth" dance moves that went viral, his audition for Wheel of Fortune, favorite broadcast partners and so much more on this incredibly entertaining episode of the The Approach Shot.
