On this episode, Michael Hurley welcomes in Scott Zolak, a local legend and a bit of a Boston sports phenomenon. Zo shares how he got his career in the media started (3:00) before going back to his days as a kid watching Joe Montana play in high school (6:15). Zo explained how he lasted 10 years in the NFL (13:50), shared some praise for Pete Carroll and his unorthodox methods (15:45), and shared some behind-the-scenes information from Bill Belichick about how the Patriots felt they forced the Seahawks to make that historic decision to pass at the goal line at the end of Super Bowl XLIX (17:55).

The trip through the '90s includes a tale about Bill Parcells volunteering to babysit Zo's dogs (21:50), before Zo explains how critical he was of his early days on TV as an analyst (25:20). He discussed how he watches games as a radio color commentator (28:55) before answering the question that cannot be answered: How does he have so much energy? 

Hurley uncovered some never-before-heard audio of Zolak giving an interview in 1990, which is some must-listen stuff (32:30), and before signing off Zolak shares what he hopes the next decade of his life brings for him personally and professionally (37:45).
