  • Wanted to love it

    I love a great sports story. Which so many pf these are. Unfortunately, I can’t listen to loud “NFL beer commercial music” playing over people talking in the interview. It’s hard to focus on what the person is talking about because my brain starts screaming WHAT?! I CAN’T HEAR WHAT THEY ARE SAYING. CAN THE MUSIC BE TURNED DOWN OR OFF?!!!

  • Not (only) what you think

    If it was just a sports analytics story, it would be great. But I promise it’s so much more. Well worth a listen
