From Defector Media: Former Deadspin writers Drew Magary and David Roth should really stick to sports. Sure, their new indie sports podcast will break down the week in sports: the Mets grounding into quadruple plays, NBA players getting testy on the court and horny on Instagram, Bill Belichick cutting 80% of his roster just to keep himself interested, horrifying takes from sports talk radio that need to be broken down, etc. But these two men and their guests will have their fair share of off-the-field issues they’ll also have to address: stupid Funbag questions, bad tweets from bad people, pointless food arguments, and even less. Every week is a VERY long week these days. We could all use a little Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.

Customer Reviews
Gotta tap out
Fun pod but don’t think I can listen to these guys talk about all the food they eat on every show anymore it’s gross there’s just more to life
Thursdays are the best days
Because that’s when the new episode comes out each week. It’s the only regularly scheduled thing in my life I look forward to at this point. Aggressively remembering guys.
Marvelous
The pod, the blogs, and the comments bring me tremendous joy.
