    051: More Than a Game – Sports, Family, and Modern Fandom with Dugan Sherbondy

    Sports have a way of weaving themselves into our schedules, our relationships, and our sense of identity. In this episode, we’re joined again by Dugan Sherbondy to dig into sports as culture—not just competition. From Friday night lights to raising kids in a sports-obsessed world, we explore how sports shape belonging, values, and community. Add in modern rule changes, NFL culture, overrated traditions, and a few goosebump-worthy moments, and you’ve got a thoughtful, funny conversation that might just change how you watch the next game.  Get in touch!  ALMOST FANS INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/almostfanspodcast/   MEET TERYN: https://www.instagram.com/teryn.laferney/   MEET AMBRE: https://www.instagram.com/ambre.hobson/   VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://www.almostfanspodcast.com/ Get 20% off your first order of LSM supplements with code FANS20. https://lsm-chiro.myshopify.com/discount/fans20 Gear up with lululemon: https://tidd.ly/3Fi5KTj  Let experts help you find your dream job with CareerLink AI. https://tidd.ly/4logDTo  Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Sports and Family Dynamics07:10 The Role of Sports in Family Traditions12:30 Navigating Sports Culture as a Parent18:51 The Impact of Youth Sports on Family Life24:04 Adapting to Changes in Sports Rules and Culture36:39 Baseball's Rules and Being a Traditionalist40:47 Sports Traditions: Overrated and Underrated44:21 Breaking Up Fights in Hockey50:16 The Future of Athletes and Sportsmanship

    050: NCAA Volleyball - Powerhouses, Verticals, and Why the Whistle Blew

    College volleyball gets the Almost Fans treatment! We’re breaking down how the NCAA volleyball season actually works, from non-conference chaos to the 64-team tournament and Final Four powerhouses like Nebraska, Wisconsin, Texas, and Stanford. We’ll explain the rules everyone pretends to understand (net touches, back-row attacks, libero chaos), spotlight just how athletic these players really are, and dig into the surprisingly high-tech world of volleyball gym floors. Expect laughs, funny trivia, and just enough rule knowledge to be dangerous.
