This episode represents part two of my interview with former NFL linebacker Ryan Shazier. December 4, 2017, Shazier became paralyzed after making a routine tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night football. In this episode, Ryan talks about that night, about his faith, about, the rehab it took to bring him back to be able to walk again. Although he tried valiantly to regain the ability to play football again, his career official ended in 2020. We also talk about the Ryan Shazier fund and the research that is being done for individuals with spinal cord injuries.

Coach Charles Saulter/ Don’t Flinch
Charles Saulter is the head football coach at Twinsburg high school in suburban Cleveland Ohio. He was recently named the winner of the Build the Bridge 2023 high school football coach of the year. Saulter became the first African-American head football coach in the Suburban League when he was hired in 2022. Note: he is a Canton Central Catholic alum, not Cleveland Central, as I mistakenly said early in the interview. @saulter_charles on X

Customer Reviews
Fantastic Podcast!
I had the pleasure of getting to know JT during my decade in Cleveland radio… He has always been the classiest of the classy among reporters, journalists and talking heads.
What he’s doing is such a stark contrast to today’s opinion-based “hot take” content business. Instead, John takes us beyond the surface with many fascinating individuals in and around the Cleveland sports and media scene. Some guests you probably know, some you probably don’t - but all of them have an interesting story that’s worth listening to.
I really do enjoy JT’s deep-dive interviews. Everyone has a story and John does such a fantastic job of helping his guests tell their’s. Top-notch podcast. Thanks for delivering it, JT!
As genuine as they come!
Genuine, inquisitive, and curious! John Telich brings these three strengths to each podcast episode. We’re a front row guest as he takes us behind the curtain to learn and grow from the stories he discovers while interviewing his guests. Keep asking the questions and staying curious. Cheers to another 100 hundred episodes!
Thank you!
John negotiates the interviews in this podcast with the same passion that he covered sports in Northeast Ohio with Fox 8 for over 40 years. His personable manner has an innate way of truly connecting with his guest on another level. When you tune in to Telich Talks, it’s almost as if you’re pulling up a chair and sitting at the table with John and his guest, rather than being a passive listener. The hiatus of Telich Talks over the past year or so just makes us realize now what we were missing. Keep up the great work JT, it’s very much appreciated!
