Ohio St related. Anyone see the 1hr story on Chris Spielmen last night?

Great OSU Linebacker that took time off from the NFL to be with his wife in the middle of his career.

Wife passed back in 2009 after 11 year battle with cancer.

Became a big fan of listening to him in the booth. For a guy who according to the show could not speak in public. High Character individual. Sad story. They raised enough funds while she was sick to build a cancer research center on campus.

Near the very end of the show there is a scene of his children in the kitchen with his wife..and one of the older girls is actually wearing a Block R red Rutgers Cap. Not exactly sure what that connection was.

Anywho..well worth the watch.

yup. Gotta go find and read his book. Not an autograph kind of guy but he's one I would value to sign it. Brian Leonard class.

Appreciate the kind words about one of our Buckeye heroes. He is a better man than he was a football player. He was an incredible linebacker.

I've been a fan of his for quite a while now. I enjoy listening to him broadcast a game, too.

Would love to see it. Was it HBO or ESPN? He's the real deal.

McDonough and Spielman is far and away my favorite combination in the booth. They don't get as much pub as Herbie, Fowler, Nessler, etc but they're simply the best

I saw it. That dude was intense and is a man's man. I saw the block R as well. Seemed odd, but it definitely looked like OUR Block R.

I didn't recall but i just googled and looks like the NFL network.
