Ask John Hessler what he wants for Christmas, and the former CU quarterback replies: “I don’t need everything; I’ve got everything.” He nearly died in a 2003 car accident. But look at “Hess” now. He’s married. He’s the father of two two beautiful children. He’s eating barbecue with Mark Kiszla in this holiday edition of the Kickin’ It Pod. (OK, two out of three ain’t bad.) And in the “Just One More Thing” segment, we offer Broncomaniacs a reason to give the Raiders a hug instead of grief.
