Notre Dame Beat Writer Talks Irish Football

[patchyfogg]

As you know from my Jets-related interviews, I co-host a 100% commercial-free, no one makes a dime from it, Sports Talk radio show on Long Island. The other night, we had on South Bend Tribune Notre Dame beat writer Eric Hansen as our guest. The interview is 36+ commercial-free minutes of nothing but Irish Football talk.
