A Monday Night Football Party
Watch Alonzo Highsmith of The U live on CultureMap in Texan Eric Winston'sonline TV show
Alonzo Highsmith's lived one of the great American football lives. He starred at the University of Miami at the height of Jimmy Johnson Bad Boy era at The U, helped build the aura around the Hurricanes program. He became the third overall pick in the 1987 draft by the Houston Oilers and played three seasons in the Bayou City.
And now, Highsmith works as a top college scout for the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, covering the Southwest from his Missouri City home.
The man's seen it all in football. And he's a world class talker. If you want a well-told story, you go to Highsmith.
In other words, he's the perfect guest for Houston Texans right guard Eric Winston's Not Your Ordinary Sports Show, which plays live in the video module on the front page of CultureMap at 7:30 p.m. every Monday night. Winston, a former Hurricane himself, welcomes Highsmith, musician Josh Abbott of the Josh Abbott Band and Lance Zierlein of 790 AM and TheSidelineView.com to this Monday night's show.
Not Your Ordinary Sports Show — the lead show of Winston's new online sports TV network — turns its focus to the Philadelphia Eagles-Chicago Bears game for tonight's show. The show brings an eclectic mix of guests together to talk football and anything else that comes up. Robert Henslee, the sports director at 610 AM, is the show moderator.
