There aren't many schools that have as many former athletes working as ... high-profile media personalities as UMich. A quick list: * Desmond Howard * Charles Woodson (soon) * Dhani Jones * Chris Webber * Jalen Rose * Dan Dierdorf * Brian Griese * Jim Harbaugh (kidding ... somewhat) There are a few others (e.g., Tim McCormick) at lower levels. I'm probably missing some people. Random: I wouldn't be surprised to see Taylor Lewan in the booth someday if he behaves himself. Drake Johnson, too, if his football profile rises at all.

Dhani has always been one of the most unique professionals to pass through the NFL.  He is a total credit to the University of Michigan, along with guys like Tom, Desmond, Denard, etc.

When I was in Switzerland, I took on the Swiss sport of schwingen, which is basically a form of wrestling — a total-body exercise. In Italy, I was cycling 60–70 miles a day up the steep Italian Alps, which improved my overall endurance.

Schwingen is highly organized in Switzerland and some of the moves are very judo-esque, as I recall, so I bet that was quite the workout. At least it wasn't dodging the puck in Hornussen, which is also a national sport.

Haha, he is helping with some intros but did not invest because we are too far from Cincy. He is doing a bunch of deals through a VC/PE fund he co-founded.
