    Interview with Blaine Bishop

    I'm joined by Blaine Bishop we discuss the latest news in the NFL . Bishop had a very successful 10-year career in the NFL. With the Oilers, he became an anchor on the defense and a fan favorite known as the “Hit-Man” because of his hard-hitting play. When the team moved to Nashville as the Tennessee Titans, Bishop and his accompanying defense took the team to new heights, becoming the pinnacle of NFL  defenses. The eighth-round pick earned four Pro Bowls in his nine years with the Titans, helping the team win its first AFC Championship Game and advance to the Super Bowl. Bishop earned Pro-Bowl starts in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 2000 and was a three-time All-Pro selection in 1995, 1996, and 2000.
