Speaker 1: Here we are with another edition of the Dave Pash
Speaker 1: Podcast with me, Dave Pash, ESPN play by play announcer
Speaker 1: and voice of the Arizona Cardinals. We are presented by
Speaker 1: bet MGM, the official sports betting partner of the Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Heila River Hotels and Casinos. You can
Speaker 1: follow us on Twitter get updates on upcoming guests, relive
Speaker 1: some of the best moments from previous guests at pash Pod.
Speaker 1: You know, I often get asked who are your favorite
Speaker 1: all time Cardinals that you've covered, and my answer usually
Speaker 1: starts with the players you would expect, like Kurt Warner,
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, and Quan Bolden and Adrian Wilson. But I
Speaker 1: have a couple other players that I often bring up,
Speaker 1: not necessarily because of what they did on the field,
Speaker 1: but because of the type of people they are. One
Speaker 1: of those is the late Quami Lasseter. My first year
Speaker 1: as the Cardinals announcer was two thousand and two and
Speaker 1: I hosted The Big Red Rage and Quami was my
Speaker 1: co host and was back when the Cardinals weren't a
Speaker 1: great team nowadays, especially during the playoff run in two
Speaker 1: fifteen in the Super Bowl run in two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: Big Red Rage would be live and fans would be
Speaker 1: lining up to see the announcers and get autographs from
Speaker 1: their favorite player. But back when Kwamy and I were
Speaker 1: doing the show, we were sitting in a restaurant at
Speaker 1: a corner table, just the two of us. I think
Speaker 1: people just wondered, what are those guys doing over there?
Speaker 1: So Kwamy and I became good friends, and we stayed
Speaker 1: that way until his untimely death in two nineteen at
Speaker 1: age forty nine. Another player that's high on the list
Speaker 1: is Jason Wright. Jason came to the Cardinals in two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine from the Cleveland Browns and he served
Speaker 1: as a team captain. Right was the perfect signing to
Speaker 1: boost locker room leadership, and it paid dividends as the
Speaker 1: Cardinals accomplished a rare feat that year. If you recall
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and nine, not many teams had
Speaker 1: made the playoffs, even made the playoffs the year after
Speaker 1: losing the Super Bowl, But the Cars accomplished that feat
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine, and Wright's leadership was a
Speaker 1: big reason why. That leadership led to some unique opportunities
Speaker 1: in the business world. Once Wright retired and Jason now
Speaker 1: runs one of the biggest brand names in all of sports,
Speaker 1: the Washington Football Team. So Jason talks with us about
Speaker 1: his path from an NFL player to an NFL team president,
Speaker 1: the timing of when we can expect a new name
Speaker 1: for the team, his fondest memories of being a cardinal,
Speaker 1: and his skills as a singer, which nobody knows about.
Speaker 1: So here's the president of the Washington Football Team, the
Speaker 1: groundbreaking President. More on that in just a second with
Speaker 1: Jason Wright on the Day Pash podcast. Jason is so
Speaker 1: great to catch up with you, man. I'm such a
Speaker 1: big fan. You're one of my all time favorite players.
Speaker 1: When I get asked a lot, hey, who's your favorite cardinal?
Speaker 1: I have a long list, but you're up there, man,
Speaker 1: not just because of you as a player, but you
Speaker 1: as a person. And we'll get into that a little
Speaker 1: bit later. But the first thing I want to ask
Speaker 1: you is how did being a player prepare you for
Speaker 1: being a president? Well, first, thanks for having me, and
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on the list, because you probably
Speaker 1: get a bunch of cricket eyes when you mentioned me
Speaker 1: on the list of partners like ooh, but I appreciate
Speaker 1: that there's myriad ways that being a player prepared me
Speaker 1: for this. I actually think that being a player prepared
Speaker 1: me for business written large, and then that's applied to
Speaker 1: being the president of the team, which is, you know,
Speaker 1: running the business operations of the team. And I think
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things that are really critical that
Speaker 1: I carried over into my business career. The first was
Speaker 1: just the ability to have hyper focus when needed. It's
Speaker 1: something that happens uniquely in high level college and professional athletics.
Speaker 1: I think entertainers and musicians can get in this space too,
Speaker 1: and pretty much any profession can, but it happens a
Speaker 1: lot in pro football. Is that for a finite amount
Speaker 1: of time, whether it's training camp or a lead up
Speaker 1: to a game where you're playing a particularly new or
Speaker 1: a different role, it requires your ability to quickly learn
Speaker 1: something really new, very quickly, completely immerse yourself into something
Speaker 1: and almost be able to tune out all the other
Speaker 1: noise outside of you and have that space of hyper focus.
Speaker 1: And I think it's a really hard for a lot
Speaker 1: of people to do, to work with that intensity at
Speaker 1: a sustained level, but it's something that athletes develop and
Speaker 1: can do and so that's helped me a ton coming
Speaker 1: into this role. I think probably more importantly is as
Speaker 1: a pro athlete, you learn how to fail and maintain
Speaker 1: your confidence. You know a lot of people when I
Speaker 1: went to business school and when I started at a
Speaker 1: professional services firm, a lot of those folks had been
Speaker 1: a students their whole lives. They had always been great
Speaker 1: at everything they've done, and they never measurably failed at anything.
Speaker 1: You know, I can think back to when I was
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals and tried to pick up a kickoff
Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks. That hit my toe, went thirty
Speaker 1: yards in front of me and got recovered by the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't think our fans were that
Speaker 1: happy with that, the coach were happy with that, and
Speaker 1: it cost us some moments him in the game. You know,
Speaker 1: I have failed on a big stage in a very
Speaker 1: overt way. But I came back from that reminding myself
Speaker 1: that I was good, that I belonged, that I had
Speaker 1: the capability to do it, and the next time I
Speaker 1: got out there to do it, I did it right
Speaker 1: and I did it well. And I think that's a
Speaker 1: muscle you build working in professional athletics that you don't
Speaker 1: build other places, and so those of both helped me
Speaker 1: a ton. You sound like a president. I mean, you
Speaker 1: sound exactly. I remember when you got the job and
Speaker 1: I was telling you. Probably remember my partner Ron Wolfley.
Speaker 1: I was telling Wolf, Yeah, Jason Wright, who was that
Speaker 1: I was telling? I was telling Wolf, Jason writes a
Speaker 1: new president and washing football team. He looks like, hmm,
Speaker 1: Jason Wright. Interesting and then he thought of goes, wait
Speaker 1: that Jason Wright like he couldn't wrap his mind around
Speaker 1: the fact that basically you went from being an NFL
Speaker 1: player and within a decade to running an NFL team.
Speaker 1: I'm curious how much do you talk football versus how
Speaker 1: much do you talk business? Yeah? I talk business ninety
Speaker 1: eight percent of the time. I think, you know. I
Speaker 1: have a weekly touched point with coach Rivera, and most
Speaker 1: of the time I'm talking to Ron about business stuff
Speaker 1: as well. And thankfully I have a head coach who's
Speaker 1: actually very business savvy as well, the general manager, Martin Mayho.
Speaker 1: It's very business savvy. So when I have campaigns and
Speaker 1: things I need to pitch to them, investments that I
Speaker 1: need to ask them about, they get it. And they
Speaker 1: speak the language. You know. Every once in a while
Speaker 1: Ron might ask me about a running back, but most
Speaker 1: for the most part, I'm talking business. But it does
Speaker 1: being a player and having a lens for football does
Speaker 1: inform some of the decisions we've made. You know, we
Speaker 1: have practice fields here that you know, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: probably needed renovation many years ago, but for whatever reason
Speaker 1: in the budgeting process could never make it above the line.
Speaker 1: It took me all of ten minutes walking the field
Speaker 1: with Rob Rogers, one of the spts on coaches side,
Speaker 1: to see that after rain it was just saturated to
Speaker 1: a level where I wouldn't be comfortable playing at full
Speaker 1: speed as a player. I could see there being a
Speaker 1: higher proportion of injuries. I could see timing being off
Speaker 1: because guys aren't practicing at full speed, more time on
Speaker 1: the indoor during the year, because you don't want to
Speaker 1: be on that field when it's wet and that has
Speaker 1: wear and tear on guys bodies. And so for me,
Speaker 1: I was able to do the return on investment calculation
Speaker 1: really quickly in my head and say, what you're going
Speaker 1: to get back from player productivity well outweighs a couple
Speaker 1: million dollars that we're going to spend on this so
Speaker 1: greenlight that and same thing with our field at FedEx Field.
Speaker 1: So there are things that my experience as a player
Speaker 1: does inform on the business side. But I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about the roster ebber as coaches will House. We had
Speaker 1: Michael Bidwell on the podcast recently and we were talking
Speaker 1: about the transformation of the Cardinals and what that looked
Speaker 1: like from an organizational standpoint, and the stadium was a
Speaker 1: big reason why and getting that revenue to be able
Speaker 1: to compete at the highest level every single year. I'm curious, Jason,
Speaker 1: because obviously before you took over, even though the Washington
Speaker 1: football team had great history an iconic franchise in the NFL,
Speaker 1: there were obviously there was a lot of negativity surrounding
Speaker 1: the team. So what were and are some of your
Speaker 1: biggest challenges that you've had to face in terms of
Speaker 1: changing the perception of the Washington football team. Well, I
Speaker 1: think the first thing that we had to address was
Speaker 1: who do we Who do you have in the boat
Speaker 1: growing with you to your destination? Right? We had to
Speaker 1: look around and be very objective, not in any sort
Speaker 1: of personal way, but look at what we want to accomplish,
Speaker 1: which would become the best place to work, not just
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but of all media, sports and entertainment,
Speaker 1: So a very healthy organizational culture. We want to become
Speaker 1: a top financial performer in the NFL, and in order
Speaker 1: to do that, short of having a new venue, you
Speaker 1: need some really innovative thinkers that probably come from outside
Speaker 1: the NFL, cross pollinated with people who do have sports
Speaker 1: experience to get that done. We want to be data
Speaker 1: first and digitally oriented, so that means we need investment
Speaker 1: in technology and innovative thinking. We need something that's a
Speaker 1: local and authentic game day experience, so you walk into
Speaker 1: our venue or you interact with our team, and you
Speaker 1: don't feel like it's interchangeable with any other team. And
Speaker 1: so when you think and we need to find a
Speaker 1: new venue to be a new home that opens up
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven, and so as you think about
Speaker 1: our big business goals, it really comes down to the
Speaker 1: people that you have on the leadership team and the
Speaker 1: layers below that who are going to get you there.
Speaker 1: And so a ton of my focus was on getting
Speaker 1: the right diverse set of perspectives in the room that
Speaker 1: would allow us to get to those goals. And diverse
Speaker 1: demographically is very important because when you do have gender diversity,
Speaker 1: racial diversity, sexual orientation diversity, you get two better decisions
Speaker 1: because people bring unique perspectives from those backgrounds. But also
Speaker 1: I want a vocational diversity. I wanted people from outside
Speaker 1: of sports. I wanted people who had come through different
Speaker 1: educational backgrounds so that we have real cross pollination of
Speaker 1: thinking here. And once you get the people in and
Speaker 1: they have shared values day, then they start to set
Speaker 1: the culture and the transformation on your behalf, and then
Speaker 1: we can get all these major projects done, including the
Speaker 1: most near term one, which is a major rebrand. Speaking
Speaker 1: of that, what is the timing, Jason on the naming
Speaker 1: of the team. Yeah, we will announce our name and
Speaker 1: brand and identity and all of that in early twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. Okay, any hence on finalists that you can
Speaker 1: share that nobody else knows? And I figured, man, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure you haven't gotten any emails or calls or
Speaker 1: texts from fans, friends, colleagues with suggestions. I'm sure you
Speaker 1: never get that. No. Literally, walking down the street in DC,
Speaker 1: people yelling their favorite name or telling me to release
Speaker 1: the name or asking me what the name is? Literally
Speaker 1: what happened? That's my life right nowadays. How rewarding was
Speaker 1: last season? I remember texting with you after the game
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay and the playoffs, and look, you guys
Speaker 1: were in that game. How rewarding was twenty twenty given
Speaker 1: that it was your first year in the role, what
Speaker 1: you were tasked with doing in terms of changing the
Speaker 1: perception of the franchise and making the postseason, it was
Speaker 1: incredibly rewarding, not because of anything I did, but because
Speaker 1: of the benchmark that coach set by showing what's possible
Speaker 1: in a short amount of time in transforming culture and
Speaker 1: the performance of an organization. You know, Coach had a
Speaker 1: clear plan that was focused on people and values and
Speaker 1: bringing in the right folks and letting the other folks
Speaker 1: walk who don't fit that vision and being bold about that,
Speaker 1: and it paid dividends way earlier than expected. You saw
Speaker 1: young guys play at a very high level. You saw
Speaker 1: culture coalesce, and even right now when I watched them practice,
Speaker 1: David reminds me of the best teams I was on,
Speaker 1: including my first year there in Arizona. You know, the
Speaker 1: year after the Super Bowl where you'd feel like you
Speaker 1: have a cohesive culture, guys are competing very well in practice,
Speaker 1: the pace of practice is high, and Coach was able
Speaker 1: to do that really quickly, and so it was rewarding
Speaker 1: in the sense that not only did we get to
Speaker 1: see the payoff for Coach in a particularly challenging and
Speaker 1: inspiring year for him personally, but it also inspired and
Speaker 1: galvanized my team to say, no, you can see results soon.
Speaker 1: This doesn't have to be a three to five year journey,
Speaker 1: even though you know our results will probably come in
Speaker 1: that timeframe. We can see change now, and I believe
Speaker 1: we've done that. On the business side, you know, it
Speaker 1: feels like a very different organization now than it did
Speaker 1: a year ago, and that's something for us to be
Speaker 1: very proud of, and Coach sort of set the mark
Speaker 1: for that in as well as the team did. Is
Speaker 1: really representative and emblematic of who we want to be
Speaker 1: as the rest of the business. You mentioned two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine when you came to the Cardinals. What were
Speaker 1: you thinking after the team had gone to the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl and what was that year like Because the Cardinals
Speaker 1: were one of very few that lost a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: and made it to the playoffs the next year. I mean,
Speaker 1: there a been a lot of teams that had done that,
Speaker 1: unto Arizona did that. No nine, No, that's right. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what I thought go on Arizona was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get me a super Bowl rank. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you that. That's what I thought. That was what was
Speaker 1: in my mind. Now that I did not pan out,
Speaker 1: but that was my goal was to go to a
Speaker 1: team that was at the CUSS. And you know the
Speaker 1: way that coach Wiz and the team, you know, articulated
Speaker 1: my role and it panned out this way is look,
Speaker 1: there's there's a spot role for you to play as
Speaker 1: a third down back. We want you to be a
Speaker 1: leader on special teams, but we want you to be
Speaker 1: a leader in a stabilizing force in the locker room.
Speaker 1: And you look at the way they constructed that team.
Speaker 1: Lots of great young talent and then veteran leaders strategically
Speaker 1: placed across different rooms in that organization where needed. And that,
Speaker 1: you know, for me, was the most enjoyable experience that
Speaker 1: I had because it actually, as much as I want
Speaker 1: to say I was a baller on the field, it
Speaker 1: actually played to my strengths more than anything, you know,
Speaker 1: to be a visible leader, to help guys with their
Speaker 1: off the field stuff so they could be focused on
Speaker 1: the field, to be a stabilizing and calming force end game,
Speaker 1: which just hitting the fan. And I really really enjoyed
Speaker 1: the leadership mandate that Coach Coach Ways, Coach Spence and
Speaker 1: the rest of the folks gave me. Speaking of leaders
Speaker 1: you got to play with Kurt Warner in his final season.
Speaker 1: It ended unceremoniously, of course, in the bounty Gate game
Speaker 1: in a playoff game in New Orleans. Was there any
Speaker 1: particular takeaways Jason you have from your time being around
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner? Yeah, being around Kurt, I mean it transforms
Speaker 1: you know this spending time with Kurt. You don't you
Speaker 1: don't leave the thing after having interacted with them. And
Speaker 1: I It's hard for me to articulate, but the way
Speaker 1: that I've described it to people over the years is
Speaker 1: that there are a few people who actually are who
Speaker 1: they say they are in every setting, and the level
Speaker 1: of authenticity that exists with Kurt from what he says
Speaker 1: in an interview to how he is at church, to
Speaker 1: how he is with his kids, to how he is
Speaker 1: on a pick up basketball game to how he is
Speaker 1: walking down the street. There is no shift or shadow
Speaker 1: with him. I can't say that about me. I'll adapt
Speaker 1: to my environment to survive. Kurt doesn't have that bone
Speaker 1: in him. He is who he is. And that level
Speaker 1: of authenticity is inspiring because it requires confidence. It requires
Speaker 1: deep belief in who you are and what you think
Speaker 1: to be able to be that consistent. And I think
Speaker 1: if we all did that, we'd be a better society
Speaker 1: rit large. And I think what that brought to the
Speaker 1: team at the time was a bit of a standard
Speaker 1: setting measure that ensued we were always going to be
Speaker 1: of the highest quality, of the highest excellence. Because Kurt
Speaker 1: wasn't going to play with you on the field, even
Speaker 1: though he's gonna love you off of it. You've got
Speaker 1: to play with Larry Fitzgerald in the prime of his career.
Speaker 1: He was coming off the greatest postseason a receiver had
Speaker 1: ever had. What was that like playing with Larry at
Speaker 1: the height of him being Larry. Well, if you talk
Speaker 1: about someone who is when I was talking about earlier,
Speaker 1: that ability to be hyper focused and to completely invest
Speaker 1: in your craft, I haven't seen anyone do that to
Speaker 1: the degree that Larry has. You know, people talk about
Speaker 1: quarterbacks being the people first, people in, last, people out,
Speaker 1: most dedicated to the details of their craft. I mean,
Speaker 1: Larry worked harder than anyone else, and he's the rare
Speaker 1: combination of where high talent, high work, ethic, and the
Speaker 1: personal integrity to back it all up all come together.
Speaker 1: You usually get people that spike on one of those,
Speaker 1: but not all three. And playing with him was inspiring
Speaker 1: when never got I mean we were the same draft class,
Speaker 1: although I was undrafted, let's be clear, we're the same
Speaker 1: year coming out of college. And so to see someone
Speaker 1: of his caliber perform at that level and do the
Speaker 1: things that he did in practicing out of it just
Speaker 1: kind of in awe of it, and you knew you
Speaker 1: were witnessing something very special. And I'm most proud of
Speaker 1: the man that he's become over time because all that
Speaker 1: time that I watched him playing and watched his play
Speaker 1: elevate on the field, I also watched him evolved as
Speaker 1: a person and developed new thoughts and ways of thinking
Speaker 1: and ways of living. And he's just he's a remarkable
Speaker 1: man that we should all be proud played for the organization. Well.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I mentioned earlier that you're high
Speaker 1: on my list when people ask me favorite cardinals is
Speaker 1: because you know, I got to know you on a
Speaker 1: personal level, enjoyed spending time with You're You're just a
Speaker 1: great dude, and I remember. So I don't talk about
Speaker 1: this publicly, but one of the things that Ron Wolfley
Speaker 1: and I do every year, although we haven't able to
Speaker 1: do it with COVID, is we go do prison ministry
Speaker 1: down in Florence with a church group, and you came
Speaker 1: with us at least once. And I remember you gave
Speaker 1: your testimony, which was incredible. But also you would sing.
Speaker 1: You would be singing warship songs. Did people in Washington
Speaker 1: know that you're probably the best singer in the nation's capital?
Speaker 1: They do. Not. You gotta bust it out, man, sing
Speaker 1: the national lanthem or something so everybody can see it. Nope, nope,
Speaker 1: no need, Nope, dope, We're good. We have enough going
Speaker 1: on here. No, thank you, but seriously, though, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you at the same time. But that's something though
Speaker 1: I know that you're very skilled at When did that start?
Speaker 1: How did that come about? Your ability to sing? Well?
Speaker 1: I actually started out before I was an athlete. As
Speaker 1: a musical theater kid. My parents had put me in
Speaker 1: you know, singing and acting lessons when I was young
Speaker 1: because I expressed an interest and I was good at it.
Speaker 1: And I actually from age about six to about twelve,
Speaker 1: I traveled with the musical theater company down in southern California.
Speaker 1: And so singing has always just been a way that
Speaker 1: I felt like my true self and expressed myself and
Speaker 1: actually helped me become a good athlete because the pressure
Speaker 1: of performing on stage and this is like, you know,
Speaker 1: paying adults, you know, go into these plays. I was
Speaker 1: like the kid role in an adult play. You know,
Speaker 1: paying adults. You know, they want they want their money's work. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you got to you gotta be on point. And
Speaker 1: so it taught me how to be disciplined while still
Speaker 1: expressing something that's an artistic craft that comes from your talent.
Speaker 1: And and as that evolved over the years and I'm
Speaker 1: pivoted away from that and into athletics, it became the
Speaker 1: main way that I love to express my faith and
Speaker 1: express my creativity. Every once in a while, I just
Speaker 1: catch me singing at the top of my lungs in
Speaker 1: the house, and I feel like my full self in
Speaker 1: those moments, so it's a good thing. Last question, I'll
Speaker 1: let you go because I know you have presidential things
Speaker 1: to do, but you're the first black president in the
Speaker 1: history of the NFL. Most players think about coaching or
Speaker 1: going into upper management. There are players nowadays, especially in
Speaker 1: the NBA, that have so much money that they're becoming owners.
Speaker 1: They're becoming owners, why while they're still playing like Jannis
Speaker 1: just did with the Brewers Chris Paulas talked about doing
Speaker 1: when he retires. Do you think we will see more players, Jason?
Speaker 1: Do you think that maybe you have started something players
Speaker 1: going into the business world and becoming presidents of NFL
Speaker 1: teams NBA teams. Yeah, I do think role modeling matters. Right.
Speaker 1: As much as I wanted to downplay this when I
Speaker 1: first took the role, I do think you're right. I
Speaker 1: do think it will open up people's aperture, and maybe
Speaker 1: not necessarily the players, because maybe the players have always
Speaker 1: thought about it, but it'll open up the eyes of
Speaker 1: decision makers in so far as I do a good
Speaker 1: job here to look at a different profile than they
Speaker 1: might have looked at before and when filling these roles,
Speaker 1: And you know, I felt emboldened to take this role
Speaker 1: because I had visible role models, in particular black male
Speaker 1: role models across my time in the NFL. You know,
Speaker 1: I had a black quarterback in Atlanta. I had a
Speaker 1: player personnel there was Ray Anderson, a black man. I
Speaker 1: had a black head coach in Cleveland, Romeo Cornell, black
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. There. When I got to the Arizona, Jim
Speaker 1: Manager was Rock Gray's black man. And so I saw
Speaker 1: blackmail talent thriving outside of the lines, outside of the
Speaker 1: traditional hash marks. And you know that gets in your
Speaker 1: head and you sort of start to believe all things
Speaker 1: are possible for folks that look like you. And there's
Speaker 1: probably a little bit about of me being in this role.
Speaker 1: You're the best man. Appreciate the time. I'm so happy
Speaker 1: for you. Excited to see not only what twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one looks like for the Washington football team, but once
Speaker 1: the rebranding starts with a new name in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two and with coach Rivera and players you got there,
Speaker 1: Chase Young as a stud Excited to see what you
Speaker 1: guys do this year and beyond. Jason, Thanks Dave, and
Speaker 1: you know we don't play all this year so y'all
Speaker 1: can go ahead and go seventeen to no and we'll
Speaker 1: meet you in the playoffs. Sounds good Man seeing the
Speaker 1: NFC championship. Thanks Jason B. Great to catch up with
Speaker 1: Jason and talk about his groundbreaking role as the first
Speaker 1: black team president in the history of the National Football League.
Speaker 1: He's the team president of the Washington Football team and
Speaker 1: he embraces the position he's in and understands that he's
Speaker 1: a role model for many others and he hopes to
Speaker 1: pave a way for others to have the opportunities similar
Speaker 1: to what he has there in Washington, DC. Also cool
Speaker 1: to hear some stories of his playing days with the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: his time with Kurt Warner, also how he saw Larry
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald not just have great seasons as a player, but
Speaker 1: how Larry grew as a man while Jason was a
Speaker 1: member of the team. The Dave Pash Podcast is presented
