Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a degenerative brain disease believed to be caused by repeated head injuries and concussions over time. It is most commonly associated with contact sports like football, boxing, and hockey, and can lead to symptoms such as memory loss, mood changes, depression, poor judgment, and eventually dementia. CTE can currently only be definitively diagnosed after death through examination of brain tissue. William Person is giving back and having thr. conversation with Host James Lott JR.

Playmakers was a gritty, provocative drama that aired on ESPN for one season in 2003 and pulled back the curtain on the high-stakes world of professional football. Set around a fictional NFL team, the series explored the politics, pressures, and personal demons players faced beyond the field, focusing as much on vulnerability and consequence as on competition. It tackled subjects that were rarely shown in sports dramas at the time—addiction, injuries, sexuality, infidelity, and the cost of fame—presenting athletes as complex, flawed human beings rather than untouchable heroes. Despite critical interest, the show was later taken off the air after pressure from the National Football League, who objected to its unflinching portrayal of the sport. In hindsight, Playmakers stood out as ahead of its time, remembered for its bold storytelling and its willingness to challenge the polished image of professional football.

Coach of Champions DL Holmes Story with Keith Wunderlich is out wherever books are sold! 

James talks with the co author and Grandson of DL Holmes! Over 100 years ago, Coach David L. Holmes started all the sports programs at what was then called Detroit Junior College. He coached Track & Field and was Athletic Director for Wayne from 1917 to 1958. He used the hallways of Old Main for practice and track meets because he had no other indoor athletic facilities. His outdoor track was equally poor, not having enough space for a full 440-yard track. And, of course, synthetic tracks weren't even a dream back then. They ran on dirt and later upgraded to cinders. During the years Coach Holmes worked at Wayne, overt racism and antisemitism were common. Many athletes could not attend the college of their choice because they were Black or Jewish. Holmes welcomed everyone. When they traveled out-of-state for track meets, Holmes would not allow his team to be split up. They ate together and slept in the same hotels. If a restaurant wouldn't serve one of the team members, everybody left and went somewhere that would. The first Black captain of any Wayne team was John Lewis, a sprinter, in 1929. After graduation, Leroy Dues, a shot putter, became the first Black athletic director in the State of Michigan in 1944. Coach of Champions is a book about those athletes whose footsteps can still be heard running through the halls of Old Main. Mostly, it's a book about people, and how a coach brought out the most in them athletically and personally. It's a cool untold story of some early athletes that everyone should know.
