THE TON. WOOHOO! #TheHowieGames | Adam Scott has a brilliant story. A story that will forever be etched in Australian sporting history and Adam tells it in this episode in such a relaxed, entertaining, reflective and funny manner. Adam is a pretty private person and I hadn’t heard a lot of these stories. From his early years, mind games when taking on Tiger, dealing with pressure, the pain of the 2012 Open and plenty more.

#TheHowieGames | In her day, Lauren Jackson was universally regarded as the best player in women’s basketball. Her honour role is outrageous. 4 Olympic medals (3 silvers and a bronze), a World Championship, countless domestic titles all around the globe, MVP’s and Flag Bearer at the London Olympics. This is a serious resume. But, Lauren’s journey wasn’t always an easy one.

#TheHowieGames | Kevin Muscat has been on an incredible football journey. From Wembley to World Cup qualifiers, being labelled a hard man, that penalty at the MCG, Melbourne Victory and coaching in the A-League, Kevin has seen it all. But what I love about this episode is when Kev talks about throwing it all in for one, gutsy, almighty punt. A punt that which paid off in spades when Kev was named manager of a European football club. Kevin Muscat dreams big. I hope this ep helps you do the same. ...

#TheHowieGames | Nat Fyfe is one of my favourite footballers. A two-time Brownlow Medallist and captain of Fremantle, he is a great player to watch and an exciting player to call. But more than that, I enjoy all the other sides of Nat that you don’t see on field. His love of surfing, his off season travelling, driving big rigs, business dealings and his generally inquisitive nature.

#TheHowieGames | Finally, we've come good with a rugby league guest. I know the wait has been long, but hopefully it's been worth it! For mine, there’s no better person to speak league with than premiership player and legendary coach, Craig Bellamy. For a man that has achieved so much in the game, Craig is not a man we know a great deal about.

#TheHowieGames | In the heady days of the 1980’s, where New Zealand were rolling out in the brown and beige kit, Ian Smith was a mainstay of the Kiwi team. A wicketkeeper and lower order bat, Ian played 63 tests and 98 ODIs for the black caps. After retiring from the game, Ian took up cricket and rugby broadcasting. Due to his passion, excitement and energy, he is my favourite cricket broadcaster. Smithy is a gun! This ep goes back to the days of the underarm ball and Channel Nine's "golden gobl...
