Stay away from brick walls while listening to this one, because after hearing Marty Smith, you'll want to run through one.
No one in sports has more passion or compassion than ESPN's Marty Smith, today's guest on the show. He views sports as a vehicle to understand people, and big games – like LSU vs. Alabama – are, for him, stages on which we see the very best qualities humanity has to offer.
Authenticity. Vulnerability. Passion. Pride.
All of that comes through in today's conversation with Marty, and I'm grateful to have been able to get him for a few minutes.
