Good morn! Hope you all enjoy this conversation with Pro Football Hall of Fame guard Joe DeLamielleure. It was entertaining. It was insightful. The Electric Company. O.J. Simpson. Josh Allen. Living with CTE. Gut-busting tales from the sideline. Red Right 88. One promise from Dad that brings a tear to his eye. “Joe D” has countless stories to share. Much ground is covered. Audio of our conversation is accessible here, icymi. The full written transcript is below. Thanks, all. Dunne: What an honor.
