Watch: Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa named captain after death of father

A great honor for a Notre Dame player dealing with a personal loss.

This week literally has been both the best and worst of times for Notre Dame defensive lineman Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa. On Thursday, Brian Kelly announced that his fifth-year player was away from the team after he received some devastating news:

However, personal tragedies do not impede good things from happening. With Tagovailoa-Amosa in mourning, his teammates elected him one of seven Notre Dame captains for the 2021 season. He joined the team virtually for the announcement, and he took to Twitter afterwards expressing his gratitude:

Tagovailoa-Amosa was named to the All-ACC Second Team in 2020. Perhaps with that honor as a contributing factor, he was one of six Notre Dame players to make the watch list for the annual Senior Bowl. Whatever the reason, he stands to be a key reason for whatever happens to the 2021 Irish. However, this is the time for him to be with his family, and the excitement for all of the good things that have happened recently can wait.

Mike Golic back to college football role at ESPN

Mike Golic’s incredible run doing mornings on ESPN radio may be ending but his career in broadcasting isn’t over by any stretch…

Mike Golic is wrapping up an incredible run as the host of ESPN’s national radio show, a role he has held since January of 2000 when he and Mike Greenberg began hosting “Mike and Mike”, a run that would last over 17 years together.

Golic continued to host the morning show with Trey Wingo after Greenberg left to focus on the TV side but earlier this month it was determined Golic would no longer be a part of ESPN Radio’s plans.

Now he’s onto his next role, that being his original job at the “Worldwide Leader in Sports”, news that Adam Schefter broke on Monday.

I was never a big “Mike and Mike” fan but their success together speaks for itself.  Working in radio since 2005 I have nothing but admiration for anyone who can hold onto a morning drive hosting spot for over twenty years.

The college football world gets to hear Golic now analyzing their game on the regular, something he starred at decades ago.

The former Notre Dame captain played eight years in the NFL for the Oilers, Eagles and Dolphins.  His media career began while playing for the Eagles as he’d have a weekly segment on quarterback Randall Cunningham’s television show.

The rest as they say, is history.
