Happy Independence Day from all of us at The Sports Objective! We hope everyone has enjoyed a safe and memorable Fourth of July weekend with family and friends.

Tonight, we have a special show featuring two outstanding guests with deep ties to East Carolina University.

We're honored to welcome Dr. Audrey LeClair, daughter of legendary ECU Baseball Head Coach Keith LeClair, to discuss her father's enduring legacy, the fight against ALS, and the impact Coach LeClair continues to have on Pirate Nation.

Joining us as a special guest is Brandon Simmons, former ECU running back and teammate of Chris "CJ2K" Johnson. Brandon is now a teacher and coach at Clayton High School, where he coaches football and track & field. He is also the host of the Offseason 365 Podcast.
