This is a sad day for Country Music dudes like Me and Kevin - Kevin is always shopping for boots down in OKC and humming, "I should Have Been a Cowboy!" Toby Keith will be missed.

Yes, we have had arena football in the past, but this is the BIG TIME! This is THE Arena Football League! In this episode, we have the General Manager of the Salina Liberty Sam Sellers on with us to discuss all things Arena Football. Teams in this league are owned by other folks you know, such as Jon Bon Jovi, Miley Cyrus, and others.

During this hour, we cover everything from recruiting players to the team, salaries of the players, travel schedules, rule differences between regular football and arena football, and we talk a little X's and O's of this type of football. We also talk about how they regulate the fields they play on, how revenue sharing works, etc.

And I think we even assigned Phillip to be the first fan to catch a kickoff off the net and get blasted by a player running at him full speed. Well, only part of that may be true....

If you are a sports fan, or more importantly a Big 12 sports fan, you need to check this podcast out. This is Part 1 of what will end up being 2 or 3 parts with Salina's own, James Westling. You may not know the name, but you probably know the voice! He has advanced from sports talk in Salina, to the voice of the Bethany Swedes, to calling Big 12 football and basketball games on ESPN.

Recording this episode went by so fast. We cover how he got into the business, the day that ESPN called him (finally!) and some of the things that go into broadcasting a game with travel, logistics, and broadcast partners (more to come). We discuss the difference between radio and TV, some of his favorite spots while traveling (we will get into this more in another part), and his interactions with coaches he has interviewed; Jerome Tang (KSU), Scott Drew (Baylor), Jamie Dixon (TCU) Porter Mozer (OU), Mike Boynton (OSU), Kelvin Sampson (Houston), Bob Huggins (WVU), TJ Otzelberger (ISU) and others.

Some great behind the scenes stories in this one. Don't miss it!
