Country star Jimmie Allen pulled no punches while making some NFL picks with Brian and Chrissy in the morning on GNA.  In town for the CMT on Tour show with Michael Ray last week, the 'Last Shot' singer took a big shot at the Cowboys, Giants, Jets, Bills and more in the week 15 edition of Pigskin Pickins.

Riley Green has enjoyed a pretty fast rise to the top of the country charts over the past year or so.  With big hits like "There Was This Girl" and his latest "I Wish Grandpas Never Died", he's set-up to be one of country music's next big stars.  We had a chance to catch up with Green on Friday morning to get his opinion on some pretty big football games in the NFL week 12.  Th

We caught up with GNA Jingle Jam headliner Chase Rice fresh off a trip to the UK where he wasn't there to perform, but rather watch his favorite 'football' team play. Rice told GNA that he flew out there to watch some English Premiere League soccer as he's become a rabid fan of Manchester United or 'Man City'.  Once the shock wore off, Rice settled in and made some week 11 NFL picks for us and whi

Cody Johnson came all the way from Texas to show the Capital Region some love on Thursday night and fans from all over the area, and some as far away as Buffalo, Pennsylvania and beyond, showed up to support him.  Johnson and his full band of 6 brought the house down with and electric set that was filled with high energy and hits and the crowd of country fans and cowboys loved every minute.  Befor

You seriously won't ever find a more interesting, intelligent, thoughtful, or entertaining man in country music than the great Chris Janson. His latest single 'Good Vibes' has become an anthem for country music fans looking for a bit of an escape from the sometimes toxic world we live in. He's honest, open and always full of surprises and Friday morning certainly was no exception when he revealed

Mitchell Tenpenny is a BIG fan of the NFL, but we found out a few other interesting things when we caught up with the up-and-coming country star on Friday morning.  During our GNA Pigskin Pickins segment, Tenpenny revealed that while he loves the Tennessee Titans, he's in pretty deep with Bills Mafia as his girlfriend is die-hard Buffalo Bills fan. Turns out, her family went as far as to send him

Kip Moore was in town on Wednesday night as part of our GNA Secret Star show and absolutely crushed it on the Palace Theatre stage.  Once he got off, we hunted him down and asked him to be a part of Pigskin Pickins segment for week 7 of the NFL.  Kip, on-stage and off, pulls no punches, and during this segment made his predictions quickly, efficiently, and confidently. He couldn't care less that i

Dan Smyers makes up one-half of the supremely talented country duo Dan + Shay. In between announcing a massive arena tour, releasing the new smash with Justin Bieber "10,000 Hours", and working on a slew of new music, he took the time to join Brian and Chrissy this week on the GNA morning show to make some fearless football picks for week 6 of the NFL.   He started by correctly selecting

Lee Brice put on an unbelievable show at the Palace Theater in Albany Thursday night, but he also was quite entertaining before he took the stage.  Brice is a college football fanatic and his ties to Clemson football run deep as he was a long-snapper for the Tigers back in the day.  This college ball expert knows a thing or two about the NFL as we found out when he fearlessly made week 5 NFL piskc

Dustin Lynch was tremendous in concert on Saturday night opening up for Thomas Rhett.  But how will  he do trying to predict the outcome of NFL games?  Find out here as this Tennessee boy tries to pick winners of the New York teams, even attempting to to convince Chrissy that her Jets have a chance to beat the Patriots. Dustin proves to be quite the forecaster as many people didn't have a lot of f

Country star Jimmie Allen gave it his 'Best Shot' when he joined Brian and Chrissy during their weekly Pigskin Pickins segment.  As a lifelong Eagles fan, Jimmie (who we love) proved to be no more classier than the reputation that precedes most Eagle fans.  He trashed the hometown NY Giants, Chrissy's beloved Jets and Brian's Dallas Cowboys en route to selecting 4 winners of games played during we

The NFL season is underway and each week Brian and Chrissy will be checking in with a country artist to ask them for their picks. This week, to kick it off, we sat down with Carly Pearce to get her football insight and picks.
