It’s a ‘Left My Wallet’ mini-episode as I’m joined by BVC co-host “Big Vinny V” Vince Verhei to give a quick sneak peek into week 2 NFL action.
Despite me having lost my voice this week, we roll on and Vinny discusses his key takeaways from week 1, what to watch in week 2, the key matchups, some fantasy advice, and his upset of the week.
It’s under 20 minutes and a fun preview of the Sunday action this week. Enjoy!
‘I Left My Wallet In Greg Polanco’ returns talking football with the one and only Duane “Gillberg” Gill and remembering Bruno Sammartino with Fantasy Sports Writers Association Hall of Famer, Sirius XM host, and lifelong wrestling fan Lenny Melnick.
It’s been a sad week as we mourn the loss of “The Living Legend” Bruno Sammartino. Melnick is a lifelong wrestling fan dating back to the 1950s and he gives his memories of seeing Bruno live, including being there in person as he captured the WWWF title from Buddy Rogers in 1963.
Melnick is one of the forerunners of fantasy baseball and hosted the first national fantasy baseball podcast, but before that, he attended countless Madison Square Garden events. The two of us share stories including how I had the honor to once be managed by Bruno himself.
We then move to the WWF Light Heavyweight champion Gillberg for a conversation about his beloved Balitmore Ravens. He is a Ravens season ticket holder and gives his thoughts on the current team, the Michael Crabtree signing, Ravens greats, being a Baltimore Colts fan growing up, meeting Johnny Unitas, and his take on Colin Kaepernick. He also gives his thoughts on the Baltimore Orioles and some inspirational stories from his time as a football and baseball coach.
“I Left My Wallet In Greg Polanco” is back to kickstart your weekend with former WWE superstar Kevin Thorn, aka Mordecai!
Whether you know him as Thorn or Mordecai, I know him simply as Kevin. Now you can get to know my former OVW and WWE colleague in this candid chat filled with football talk and road stories.
Kevin talks about growing up a Cleveland Browns fan, memories of the Dawg Pound, Bernie Kosar, and the recent moves the current regime has made. We then talk about his switch of allegiance to the Indianapolis Colts, watching Super Bowl XLI with CM Punk and MVP, getting to know Frank Gore, and the Colts’ outlook for 2018.
Throughout the football talk, Kevin sprinkles in road stories about the drinking with the Undertaker, WrestleMania, his match with Hornswoggle, our very own Filthy Tom Lawlor, and more. I even share a story of my own about the first time I ever took a sip of alcohol while in Calgary with Chris Jericho and Dave Bautista!
