For those who might have missed it (or for those who would like an encore performance), the latest “Sports & Torts” show on talkzone.com was another quality effort. This one featured co-hosts David Spada and Elliott Harris with in-studio guest Andrea Metcalf, fitness guru and author of Naked Fitness. There was no nudity on the show, even though it was encouraged. Maybe next time. Something says we have not seen the last of Andrea on the program. Look for her to be back in 2012.

To check out Andrea’s in-studio performance, plus phone interviews with NFL hall of famers Darrell Green and Joe Greene, check out this from talkzone.com.

For a photo from her “Sports & Torts” appearance, plus some video that Andrea recently put together, here you go:
