Air Date February 3, 2012
Summary
Hour 1 - Super Bowl XLVI
We’ve had some pretty heavy-duty programs this week so on the Friday before the Super Bowl, we talk to a man who has two Super Bowl Rings. He holds the record for the longest field goal in NFL history—along with Tom Dempsey and Sebastian Janikowski. And he loves talking about the Bible. Former Bronco and Falcon Jason Elam joins us to talk about Israel, football and fiction writing.

Hour 2 - Making the Catch
What happens when you make one of most memorable Super Bowl touchdown catches in recent history, when you reach the pinnacle of your career or finally attain your dream—then you feel like the rug gets pulled out from under you? We talk with the former New York Giant who made the helmet catch in 2008, David Tyree. And we hear what you've learned in those situations in your life.
