NEW YORK – September 6, 2012 – Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) announced today that Maurice Jones-Drew, the Jacksonville Jaguars All-Pro running back and 2011 NFL rushing leader, will debut the third season of his exclusive weekly fantasy football talk show tomorrow, September 7.

Runnin’ with MJD is the only fantasy football show hosted by a current NFL player.  Jones-Drew and co-host Mike Dempsey host their two-hour show every week, taking calls from listeners around the country, interviewing players from around the NFL and offering advice on roster moves, trades, and other fantasy football matters throughout the season.

“Another fantasy football season is upon us and I’m thrilled to be back on the SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio airwaves,” said Jones-Drew.  “Join us every Friday night and we’ll help you set your best lineup so you can dominate your opponent on Sunday.”
