Trying to rearrange the work schedule, will be very cool. Not sure if they have the coach from "Chicago's B1G Team" on the calendar as well LOL

was a badass, that guy would just get clocked coming across the midddle, over and over and never dropped the ball. I hope his head is okay these days.

See, I guess everyone has different tastes. I like Waddle a lot, actually. Sometimes Silvy can be annoying, but I like their show. I especially like it when Mark Giangreco and/or Wilbon join them- that's generally usually pretty entertaining radio. Giangreco is absolutely hilarious on the radio- telling stories about things he would never talk about on TV, etc. Both Waddle and Giangreco seem like guys who would be, still, a lot of fun to have a beer or 10 with.

I first heard about this last week. They always seem to get good guests now and then, but Touchdown Tommy Waddle and Harbaugh will be all-time good I thnik.

He was on with them last year during media days as well. It was a really interesting interview.

You could tell Harbs and Waddle still had a lot of mutual respect and had a good relationship when they were teammates. Worth a listen if you can find it.

I was listening to it live. And I listen to Waddle and Silvy a lot, and they don't ever really rip Harbaugh at all because he and Waddle have a pretty solid bond. When they were reminiscing about big moments on the radio, you could just hear the wistfulness in their voices-- those two went through the fire, so to speak, by each other's side and you can tell each respects the hell out of the other for the player/man that the other guy was and is. It's actually somewhat heartwarming to listen to. The episode I'm referring to actually aired July 30 of 2015 according to this website: (http://www.podcastchart.com/podcasts/espn-chicago-waddle-silvy/episodes…) , but I can't find a link of the actual podcast audio. It was excellent and probably the best interview they've ever had (admittedly, I'm biased, but it got Waddle to open up about stuff that he normally brushes off with a joke).

If there be drunken Peru Ball afterwards.  I want to engage my fellow MGoBlog posters in vicious gameplay.

However, I am willing to skip the Peru Ball aspect if we all agree to visit Woody's Flat and burn that ugly scarlet and gray flophouse down to the ground. Or at least make catcalls.
