''The Game Before the Money''

"The Game Before the Money" is set to premiere Saturday, July 2 on SportsMap Radio Network from 11am-12pm ET. The show pairs football author, podcast host and oral historian Jackson Michael with author and former NFL executive Upton Bell. Michael and Bell reveal stories that few fans have access to or even know exist. The weekly, hour-long program merges narratives from the NFL's past with today's headlines and compares yesteryear's All-Americans with current college stars.

"This is a highly entertaining and informative program," said Gow Media CEO, David Gow. "Jackson and Upton are both amazing storytellers. This is a wonderful addition to our network."

Michael has conducted well over 100 interviews with NFL and NCAA football legends. "Behind every facemask is a life story. My work has always been dedicated to preserving the inspiring stories of the men who made the game what it is today," said Michael.

Bell stated, "As one of the last people alive to see both the college and the pro game from the 1930s to today, I wanted to tell the stories with Michael that have never been told before as well why today's game has become so wildly popular."

"We are super excited about the debut of The Game Before the Money," said Gow Media COO and Program Director, Craig Larson. "It's a truly unique concept in sports talk radio and we can't wait to roll it out nationwide."
