All Sports Are Bad All Sports Are Bad

This week we took a look into the situation surrounding Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans and discussed the unprecedented power dynamic that exists between this player and his team, as well as a comparison between this situation and the power dynamics that exist in both Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association.

Unrelated but related: Jerry Jones is horrifying. This is evergreen.

The world is a hell place, so we decided to talk about nice things for a change. In this episode we talked about the athletes that brought us joy. Patrick gushed about Tim Lincecum, Jake talked about Vince Young, Todd Helton, and John Elway among others. Sometimes it's nice to be positive, yeah? Or our warped version of positive, anyway.

ASAB is back with our first episode in over half a year. We haven't been podcasting well, because, quite frankly we just didn't feel like it. But we're back for 2021 and in this episode we discuss America's ever-dwindling former pastime: Baseball, more specifically why the dehumanizing aspects of Major League Baseball as a whole make it insufferable.

Well folks, there ain't much else to say about this one. This is about three hours of Last Dance takes. Over our Discord server. During a pandemic. We also reference Joaquin Phoenix a few times but that's neither here nor there.

All Sports Are Bad is coming at you from our respective homes in our first ever remote-only show. Friend of the podcast Peter Bogren joined us to talk about our general lack of sports, some NFL tidbits, and sports movies. We got into sports movies pretty heavily. Because what is everyone doing while we're all at home? Binging movies.

In another behemoth of a podcast, we cover a wide range of topics including: Local Seattle weed politics, the ever-unfolding MLB sign-stealing scandal, the NFL's weird and disrespectful narratives aimed at black quarterbacks, and the pitfalls of hardcore NFL fandom in general.
