Great Arguments

This podcast is great. It has a lot of good insight on sports and has really good arguments. My favorite part about this podcast is the arguments and what they have to say to each other to win a debate. It’s really fun to listen to as someone who loves sports and has opinions about them too. And to hear what other people think is awesome. Highly recommend. Great pod
