On the latest episode of the NFL Players: NFL Media’s Bucky Brooks a.k.a. “Team No Sleep Captain,” a.k.a. “Man of Many Jobs” joins Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper. Bucky talks about his many jobs, and how writing is the foundation of the success he’s achieved in his post-NFL career. In an era of hot takes, Bucky explains why he’s intentional about being the anti-hot taker. Bucky takes us through why he chose a career as a scout immediately after his NFL career, and how playing for legendary coaches Marv Levy, Mike Holmgren, and Tom Coughlin has influenced his media career, and his approach as a high school football coach. And you’ll want to hear Bucky share the scouting reports on Peanut and Roman when they entered the league.

The chaos continues in Weird NHL Vol. 142 as Mikhail Sergachev scores one of the strangest goals you’ll ever see, Jordan Binnington and Elias Pettersson get caught throwing their sticks, and a giant inflatable hot dog makes an unexpected appearance on the ice in Montreal!

We’ve also got a confused goal horn, a puck stuck in Ryan Hartman’s skate, Devin Cooley’s latest interview gem, Rob Ray enjoying a snack between the benches, Chris Kreider learning Montreal’s postgame traditions, Gene Principe getting put in a chokehold, and plenty more weird bounces, wild plays and moments you just don’t see every day.
