Talking About Sports When Sports Don't Exist (Ep 144)

Customer Reviews
Sports Nerds Review
This podcast is a unique and intelligent take on Sports in America. I really enjoy it.
Sports: It’s All in the Reflexives
These guys are great! What a great display of the intersections between sporting authority and academic rigor! It is passion for understanding and love of the games that creates this style of praxis. Every episode, Brian and Sam bring heart to theory and a bunch of great chemistry, too. Keep it up fellas, y’all got one helluva show!
Good, but not as good as his dad.
Not bad for a guy from Cotter. I always enjoy a listen, but would rather listen to his dad!
