His expertise comes from the ten years he played in the NFL, six of them as an Atlanta Falcon.

Yes, he is old enough to recall a time before ESPN, HD television, and up to the minute highlights. A small, Panasonic transistor radio and an oft-changed, fully charged 9 volt battery kept him in touch with the sports world.
