MEMBER OF THE NFL HALL OF FAME
JIM TAYLOR
Coach Vince Lombardi called him the most determined runner he had ever seen. New York Giants middle linebacker Sam Huff called him the hardest-hitting fullback in the NFL. On the field Jim Taylor became known as "Thunder" by the Green Bay Packers under Lombardi. His devestating blocks and powerful running style, combined with Green Bay's "Lightning" Paul Hornung, gave the Packers "run to daylight" attack respect and admiration around the league.
The Fire Within is the first autobiography of Jim Taylor, whose very name conjures unforgettable memories of an incredible time in Green Bay. He recounts many adventures with his Packers teammates, including Bart Starr and Paul Hornung, who remember him as an extremely kind and generous man, blessed with unequaled skill yet untouched by ego.
Taylor covers his early days as a boy growing up during the depression and how he became the football legend that he is known as today. He spans his whole career, from his time as an All-American at LSU, his success as a Packer from 1958 through 1966, and the then newly formed New Orleans Saints in 1967, to his 1976 induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He also speaks candidly about his post-playing career passion and desire for charitable work, and the new wife who changed his life in so many ways. He stops by SPORTSTALKNY to talk to Mark and AJ about the book and his life .

2 TIME PRO BOWLER AND 1978 NY JET MVP
WESLEY WALKER
Wesley Walker joins Mark And AJ to talk about his great NFL career.He was noted for his great speed, averaging over 20 yards per reception over many seasons (his career average was 19 yards per reception). At the time of his retirement, he was second in Jets all-time receiving yardage. Legally blind in one eye, Walker overcame this handicap to become one of the Jets all-time great receivers.
He led the league in receiving yards in 1978, was elected to the Pro Bowl twice 1978 and 1982, and was named the New York Jets MVP in 1978.Walker was one of the dominant players in the 1982 NFL Playoffs: in two postseason games, he caught 15 passes for 314 yards and 2 touchdowns, as the Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Raiders, both on the road.His best receiving season came in 1983, when he caught 61 receptions; and in 1986 he had a career-best 12 receiving touchdowns. Four of them were scored in week three, as he caught a game-winning touchdown from the Jets quarterback Ken O'Brien in overtime to give the Jets a wild shootout win 51-45 over the Miami Dolphins.
When he retired, he had caught 438 passes for 8306 yards and 71 touchdowns
