The new addition to the sponsorship family was revealed. Cosmic Coffee & Beer Garden on the south side of Austin, TX jumped on board. The founder, Paul Oveisi has some creative ideas the Man Cave boys will add to future episodes. Former Texas Longhorn defensive back, Adrian Colbert took some time out of his hectic schedule to tell his inspiring story. Colbert finished his college football career as a Miami Hurricane, where he played for former UT defensive coordinator, Manny Diaz. Colbert changed NFL homes, he recently signed with the New England Patriots. But, the football piece is a small piece of Colbert's inspiring and compelling story. Most of Colbert's young life, his father experienced the gang life in Wichita Falls and those two didn't have the best relationship. At age six, Colbert suffered an accident on his bike which nearly took his life. That tragedy improved his relationship with his father. Colbert eventually moved to Mineral Wells where he became an additional piece of the Clarke family. A loving and caring white family which took Colbert in and providing love and support of Adrian and normalcy. During his time as a Longhorn, Colbert never truly found his role and he admitted to experiencing depression and anger. But, he is a deeply rooted Longhorn for life and takes great pride in that. He searched for a fresh start and decided to transfer to Miami (FL). That move was exactly what Colbert needed. He shined and was selected in the 7th round of the NFL Draft in 2017 and remains in the NFL. Colbert is happier and wiser and wants to positively impact other's lives. Colbert peaced out with a humorous Man Cave Story. Follow Colbert: Twitter: https://twitter.com/AdrianColbert27 IG: https://www.instagram.com/adriancolbert/ During the middle segment break, we highlight a non-profit, Divine Canine's "Barks for Beers".
