Here’s the fifth episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles podcast!

We discuss how coaching rookies is like a smoking turkey. You better have patience if you want the product to turn out right.

We also take a look at the Green Bay Packers and some of the defensive performances against the Bears while offering a tribute to the great Walter Becker, the Howard Bison and Caylin Newton (Grady High) and Georgia linebacker Lorenzo Carter (Norcross High).
