Sports And More John Thomas

The long-awaited return of Sports and More is finally here! Featuring new theme music and how you can win podcast t-shirts. Plus, I follow the crowd and make lists about my NCAA Tournament brackets before closing with a bedtime story about something no one has ever talked about before: bad takes on Twitter.

Win the first ever Sports and More t-shirt! Yes, if you pick the most games correctly in our Bowl Mania contest, it's yours. Tune in for full info. You'll also want to tune in because I try to help you in that contest by picking all 41 games, with analysis, in less than eight minutes.

But what if we had a 24-team playoff instead of 41 bowl games? I look at that possibility as well, express my shock at North Carolina snow in December, and pose to you an important question: would you let your child play football?

Sports and More returns with a bang after an indefinite break. Including the brand new Wow! of the Week segment featuring a celebrity guest and a Bedtime Story with hot takes about hot takes.

But the star of the show? My open letter to Duke's Grayson Allen. And it may not be exactly what you expect.

Sports and More is back after an indefinite break, and I offer my thoughts and address some misconceptions regarding the UNC academic-athletic scandal. I also introduce the limited edition Pumpkin Spice Podcast, empathize with Joel Berry's frustration with NBA 2K, and endorse year-round Christmas music. Finally, I wrap things up with a political bedtime story.

I take some time on today's episode to discuss the tragic Las Vegas shooting, particularly the disturbing amounts of "fake news" and conspiracy theories that I believe are disrespectful to the victims and those in law enforcement trying to piece this case together. I also propose a few simple, reasonable pieces of gun control legislation as a way to hopefully deter a shooting of this scale. Finally, I'm joined by the podcast's first guest, as my friend Rachel Greene helps me debut a segment called "Talking Routes" in response to Cam Newton's recent comments. (Cam has since issued a proper apology, for which I commend him).

You knew this was coming. On this episode, I break down as many angles as possible on the recent waves of protest in the NFL, including Donald Trump's reaction, "disrespect," First Amendment law, how the Dallas Cowboys handled the situation, and more. I then delve into something a little easier to digest: why there's no excuse for MLB stadiums to not install netting up the foul lines.

Feel free to share your thoughts with me/tell me why I'm wrong. Seriously. I know I haven't covered every angle of this, and I'd like to learn more: sportsandmorepodcast@gmail.com.
