Coach Dungy on Tirico & Van Pelt

I almost got a great picture when he jumped down on commercial break to sign a ball for a kid, but the crowd was in the way...

Mike & Mike Continued...

Joe Montana showed up to talk to Mike & Mike. Montana is one of the greatest NFL quarterbacks of all-time. During his Hall of Fame career with the San Fransisco 49ers he won 4 Super Bowls, 3 Super Bowl MVPs and was the NFL MVP twice.


Montana signed a lot of autographs, but had to leave when fans became too aggressive.


NFL legend Deacon Jones is considered one of the greatest defensive players in NFL history. He was known as the "Secretary of Defense" and was known for sacking quarterbacks. During his interviewed he discussed how the nature of the game has changed and that the league protects quarterbacks too much.


Recently retired New York Giant and current Fox analyst Michael Strahan made an appearance. Strahan is a sack master in his own right holding the NFL single season sack record. He won the Super Bowl last year with the New York Giants.

Mike & Mike in the Morning...

Tuesday morning ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike in the Morning" had an all-star line-up. Here are a couple photos I snapped while watching the show. First, is one of Shannon Sharpe surrounded by safety officers. I liked the motion of the photo as Sharpe was rushed onto be interviewed.


Shannon Sharpe played Tight End for the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens. When he retired he held the majority of major receiving records for tight ends. He is a finalist for the Hall of Fame this year.

Former Bucs and Raiders defensive lineman Warren Sapp appeared and stopped to sign some autographs.


Sapp reacts to a fan who wanted a high five here.
