Episode Description
For the first time in the history of the NFL active and retired players descended upon the beaches of Maui to discuss their future plans and expectations. Last week we discussed whether its in relation to player safety, benefits, or compensation, at some point and time an active player will become a retired player, and having the same agenda is essential to their livelihood. This week we will broach the subject of the Commissioner, the Union, and the Fans and what their forward movement will include. As negotiations are still underway in regards to the 2011 lock out, we know you want the inside scoop as to what is really going on. Join us this week as we have Ray Ellis as a guest to join in on the conversation.

“Success Ends Where Satisfaction Begins, So NEVER BE SATISFIED!”
The show will focus upon the NFL and the game, but will dig deeper into what happens in the locker room, in the mind of the player, when they are away from the field, and after the game ends…what’s next? This will not be football 101!
We’ll do in-depth interviews with current players and past greats, and “where are they now” segments, focus upon discussions on “the hot topics” within “the game” at the moment, and we’ll take your live questions. We will not shy away from the tough questions!
We’ll also focus upon positive messages to kids and parents to never be satisfied!
