Hour 3: Comedian Bert Kreischer In-Studio, plus Overreaction Tuesday

FOX Sports NFL Analyst and 4-time Pro Bowl quarterback Michael Vick tells Rich why he was extremely disappointed with this 4.72-second 40-yard dash (…at age 40!!!), what it was like to FINALLY get to throw some passes to the GOAT wide receiver Jerry Rice, how he overcame his debilitating fear of Ravens LB Ray Lewis, and why he agrees with Aaron Rodgers in his beef with Packers’ management.   Director and writer John Lee Hancock and Rich discuss the first movie he ever directed, ‘The Rookie,’ how ‘The Blind Side’ movie almost didn’t happen and how he got Sandra Bullock on board for her Oscar-winning performance, the hilarious way the was able to convince Nick Saban to be in ‘The Blind Side,’ and working with Oscar-winning actors Denzel Washington and Jared Leto in his latest film ‘The Little Things.’     Rich wraps up the hour breaking down how the top speed clocked by the retired NFL legends who run in this year’s RunRichRun matched some in-game top speed runs by active NFL players last season, and reacts to Jimmy Garoppolo embracing a QB competition with the 49ers’ newest quarterback Trey Lance.
