Michael Chiklis puts the football pads back on, hates the Yankees and how he landed The Shield

Emmy winning star of The Shield Michael Chiklis joins the show to talk about his new movie The Senior, based on the inspirational story of Mike Flynt, who made the Sul Ross State University football team at 59 years old. Michael talks about his friendship with Tom Brady and the advice he gave him for The Senior, his love of Boston sports and why he hates Jerry’s Yankees. He also remembers the chip on his shoulder he felt while auditioning for The Shield and how Burt Reynolds saved his young acting career. Chiklis then shares his memories from Super Bowl LI and the Patriots 28-3 comeback against the Falcons. He may or may not have heckled Matt Ryan. Then Annie Agar joins with the latest around the NFL and the guys try to decide who is the greatest TV anti-hero ever. New episodes of Throwbacks drop every Thursday.
