Most of you know him as Simon Dean. Myself, independent wrestling fans and ECW hardcores know him best as Nova. However, Giants and Eagles fans infamously know him as Mike Bucci...Dallas Cowboys fan. Whichever name you call him by, Simon Dean is here to spew venom on the Eagles, their fans, and their chances in the Super Bowl. AND, he calls out some notable Eagles fans! We then chat about being a lifelong Cowboys fan, the Dallas-49er rivalry, visiting Jerry World for the first time, standing on the Dallas star at midfield, Jimmy G, why the Legion of Boom is done, free agency, the Patriots dynasty, and more! Finally, we wrap up talking about Nova's amazing fantasy football league and why I should be in it this year. I've known Nova for 14 years and we have a great, candid chat that must be heard. All the Super Bowl trash talk you've been yearning for is right here, so sit back and enjoy!

Former Major Leaguer FRANK CATALANOTTO was the definition of "professional hitter" during his 14 year Major League career, most notably with the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays. Frank compiled a fantastic .291 career batting average, including hitting a career high .330 with 15 stolen bases in 133 games for Texas in 2001. Frank was one of the most valuable and dependable players in the game having played every position on the field, except for center field and catcher, and leading the American League in pinch hit at-bats in 1998 with Detroit. On May 1, 2004, against the Chicago White Sox, he set the Blue Jays record for hits in a game, going 6 for 6 in the second game of a double-header. Catalanotto personified hustle, heart, commitment, and work ethic during his career. Join me as I chat with one of my favorite players as we discuss his childhood, getting drafted by the Tigers, working his way up to the major leagues, the importance of Larry Parrish in his career, playng with Alex Rodriguez, how he thinks former teammate Alex Cora will be as Boston manager, his approach to playing and pinch hitting, and much more from his career.
