Mike Behind the Mic Mike Dubberly

April 27, 2023 marked 12 years since the devastating tornado outbreak in Alabama. 
Mike Dubberly got a chance to talk with former Alabama All-American Defensive Lineman and Co-Captain Shannon Brown, who's now the principal at Liberty Middle School in Madison, Alabama.  On April 27, 2011, Shannon lost his daughter Loryn in the EF-4 tornado that hit Tuscaloosa.  The college student was pursuing her dream of attending the University of Alabama and now, endowment scholarships have been created in her honor. 
Here's Shannon's conversation with Mike Dubberly. 

Several recent violent incidents have prompted legal questions. Just recently, there was the incident in North Carolina where a neighbor shot a young girl and her father after she retrieved a basketball that went into the neighbor's yard.  Before that, a homeowner shot a 16 year old who mistakenly went to the wrong address and rang the doorbell.  In New York, a 20 year old woman was killed after a homeowner shot at a car turning around in his driveway.  And two Baylor cheerleaders were shot when they accidentally tried to get into the wrong car. Also in Dadeville, Alabama, six people are now arrested in a mass shooting at a 16th birthday party. Prominent attorney Eric Guster joined Mike Dubberly for the latest Mike Behind the Mic podcast with legal analysis.  

Pro Football Hall of Famer and NFL Fox Sunday analyst Howie Long joined Mike Dubberly on the Mike Behind the Mic podcast recently to talk about the USFL season two (Howie is also an analyst for the USFL on FOX broadcasts). The former LA/Oakland Raiders defensive lineman also shared what it was like to be a former teammate of Auburn legend Bo Jackson out of McCalla.

The Major League Baseball season is underway and if you watch, you'll notice some big changes.  The league has implemented a pitch clock (much like a shot clock in basketball), and other changes in an effort to speed up the game, generate more offense and attract more viewers and fans. 
In this week's Mike Behind the Mic podcast, Mike Dubberly talks with former Major League Baseball player Josh Rutledge, a former All-SEC shortstop at Alabama out of Cullman. Josh not only gives his opinion on the rule changes, but also offers an interesting take on "travel ball" for youth league players and discusses his "better half" Laura Rutledge of ESPN and the SEC Network. 

February 24, 2023 marked one year since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.  To get perspective on the war, Mike Dubberly talks with retired U.S. Sgt. Alex Drueke of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  Drueke, along with another U.S. veteran Andy Huyhn of north Alabama were both captured in Ukraine by Russian forces while helping train Ukranian soldiers.  They were in Russian captivity for 104 days before being released as part of a prisoner swap brokered by Saudi Arabia.  Retired Sgt. Drueke shares what he witnessed and endured and why he believes U.S. aid to Ukraine is not only necessary, but paramount to averting something far worse. 

Former Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys safety and Alabama football legend George Teague joins Mike Behind the Mic with his thoughts on Tom Brady retiring and how he rates Brady compared to quarterbacks he played with and against, including Brett Favre and Troy Aikman. Teague also gives his pick for the Super Bowl which airs Sunday February 12 on WBRC FOX6 News.
