Greg Cote Show podcast: Meet an NFL player who sings Sinatra, has an 11-foot boa, but owns no car
We don’t have a lot of athletes on our sort-of sports podcast. Why? Because athletes generally are conditioned to be benign and void of personality.
Occasionally you find the exception, and it is like unearthing a diamond.
May we introduce you to Mack Hollins?
The Miami Dolphins have won five games in a row and Hollins, a wide receiver with a team-leading four touchdown catches, is a major reason.
More than that (at least to us), he’s a super-funky guy you’ll want to meet.
Find out why he wore a suit and carried a briefcase in high school and still does today on Dolphins road trips. Why he does not own or drive a car. Why he owns two snakes including an 11-foot boa. Why he consistently beats teammate Tua Tagovailoa in golf, chess and Rubik’s Cube.
This guy gives athletes a good name. Enjoy!
(Bonus: Mack and Greg duet on Sinatra’s “My Way”).
