Mike Safo

Joined today by NFL veteran and Super Bowl champion, Desmond Bishop. Des talks about growing up in California, rooting for the 49ers and who were the players he looked up to. We discuss why he wasn’t recruited out of high school, why he choose the elite San Francisco as his JUCO and the decision to go to Cal over USC after being an All-American from JUCO.  Desmond talks about how he didn’t know about mock drafts and how surprised he was that he was drafted so late. We hear about his impression of Green Bay, his first introduction to Brett Favre and how close he was to the Super Bowl in his rookie season. Co-hosted with Bill Viscardi, we hear from a fan’s perspective going up to the frozen tundra, what’s there to do in Green Bay, and also hear Desmond’s advice to aspiring high school athletes on what they can do to become elite. He reminisces about Super Bowl XLV, his famous fumble recovery and the heartbreaking story of why he didn’t get to meet President Obama at the White house. Desmond opens up about his injuries, being cut and why he regrets choosing the Vikings over another team when he was a free agent. From boxing to Charles Woodson’s Super Bowl speech, and more with the Super Bowl Champion.
