from Beer Belly Sports Radio Network · host Geffre Productions Cor
This week on Sports and Songs, Andy dives into one of his favorite crossover topics — former athletes who traded shoulder pads for stage lights 🎤🏈 Today’s spotlight? Former NFL defensive lineman Mike Reid. Before he was writing hit country songs, Reid made his name on the football field — but Andy takes a closer look at his musical chapter, reviewing the 1991 album “Turning for Home.” How does a former NFL star translate life lessons from the gridiron into heartfelt country storytelling? Andy breaks down the songwriting, production, standout tracks, and whether the album holds up decades later. Is it a hidden gem? A solid effort? Or a curiosity piece in the world of sports-meets-music? Dan chimes in with his thoughts as the guys continue blending sports history and music nostalgia — because on Sports and Songs, no topic is off limits when it involves athletes, albums, and opinions. From the trenches to the charts — this one’s a fun ride. #SportsAndSongs #MikeReid #TurningForHome #FormerAthletes #NFLToCountry #SportsAndMusic #AlbumReview #BeerBellySports #BBSRNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-belly-sports-radio-network--5080802/support.
