ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

[FightingIrishLover7]

Did they ever mentioned what exactly happened to him?

heart issues

II is really the only one I like. They whiff on a bit (Rendell) but they know more ball than the others and actually seem to have sources within the program. I also think they do really good due diligence on the opponent, which is what I enjoy the most.

JB was a huge addition to II. Prister starting to seem more and more like an old-head every year. O'Malley is always a fun listen

A little more info as someone posted “heart issues.” He was in the hospital for 18 days. Sounds like he actually lost consciousness before they were supposed to record one of the podcasts. He did mention he’s dealt with heart problems for a while. Needs to have another procedure (cardioversion) done in January. That’s a lot to go through.

We are extremely fortunate to have John Brice covering ND

Fortuna has serious heart problems. Apparently dropped unconscious the day before a pod was supposed to air, was hospitalized for 3 weeks (as stated above) and still has pending procedures. Also mentioned the 2nd year in a row he been hospitalized around the holidays.

Ugh. He is also effectively a self-employed/freelance journalist at this point, right? That’s a tough racket if you can’t work reliably.

We give media guys a hard time but that's a really tough draw. I hope he's able to recover and put all this behind him because it's horribly scary to have heart issues at a young age.

 

[Fbolt]

Agreed. He always seemed to be a decent lad.

Hopefully his wife has employee provided insurance. Otherwise, he’s paying through the nose.

 

[IrishSpartan]

Yeah JB has become the best on the beat

 

[ColinKSU]

fortuna looks like death

I’m glad for him personally that he’s hopefully recovered, but he didn’t need to be in a hurry to return.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

AIDS

they said it was just a cough!?!?

Forgot about this, funny as hell still. I know there's people that don't care for McAfee, but damn if he doesn't make college football better everywhere he goes. He's been the perfect foil for Saban this last season too.



[EDIT] I just saw this in the comments. Apparently Reece had zero clue lol.

As a former reporter, this is very accurate.

Brad is the biggest loser out there. He’s a big gambling dude who IS A ND FAN. But when they play in a big game he lashes out and basically pretends not to be and gambling touts the other team

 

[CanadalovesND]

Destroy that man, Ryan.

 

[ColinKSU]

Destroy that man, Ryan.

I have a low bar for athletes turned analysts, but I genuinely don’t know Cam Newton brings besides silly hats.

 

[Jeffwantpoppers]

I still can’t believe how the DEs played. Just a fantastic game from that group

ND parent Ryan Clark is, as of 8:53pm, my new favorite ESPN analyst.

Great makeup department at 247, you can barely tell Pate was up all night sobbing.

 

[NDFAN2008]

NCAA is considering allowing five years of eligibility for all players in all sports wonder how that affects us.

 

[rtrn2glory]

I think it should go the opposite.

Should be just like high school. You get 4 years.. The portal let's ya move whenever the hell you want anyway

 

[dublinirish]

lol

 

[pumpdog20]

I get it... most of you hate Driskell for whatever reason... IB did a freaking 5.5 hour post game show last night.
I'm obviously not watching all of that, but how awesome would it have been to just chat with a couple of you buds about that game last night! Go Irish!

Hoooooorible shirts with even worse collars?
For crying out loud I’ll bet he doesn’t even wear cargo shorts. Heathen.
