Super Bowl champion, two-time Pro Bowler and 2013 NFL Second-team All-Pro Vernon Davis visits the Jack Vita Show to discuss his time in the NFL and his transition from his playing career to his acting career (0:00 - 13:15). Then, Jack welcomes minor league play-by-play broadcaster Michael Marcantonini to the program to break down the weekend's AFC and NFC Championship games (13:15 - END).
Vernon entered the NFL nearly 20 years ago, as the no. 6 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. A product of the University of Maryland, Vernon ran the fasted 40-yard dash time ever recorded for a tight end at the NFL Combine, clocking in at 4.38 seconds. In the weeks leading up to the Draft, Vernon starred in a famous Under Armour commercial alongside AJ Hawk which introduced the marketing tagline "click, clack." Jack asks Vernon about the iconic commercial. They also chat about Vernon's time in the NFL, his best Jim Harbaugh stories, how acting differs from playing, and his new show, titled "Match Point", which premieres February 11 on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
Then, Jack is joined by Michael for a very lively discussion about the weekend's NFL Playoff games! Michael and Jack react to some horrendous officiating in the AFC title game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. Why do football fans hate the Chiefs? Michael and Jack discuss. Michael is a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, so he was pretty happy about the outcome to Sunday's NFC Championship game. Were the Eagles overlooked and disrespected in the NFC? Later, Michael and Jack look ahead to the big game, discussing early storylines for Super Bowl LIX. And finally, they discuss the Chicago Bears' new head coach hire, former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Should Jack be excited about the future in Chicago?
