  • fun, funny, and real

    good game is and has everything! daily sports updates, thought provoking interviews, fun conversations, and, most importantly, reality checks. i know ppl prefer sports to be a reprieve from real life, but women’s sports is political whether we like it or not and sarah knows that too. she does a great job of balancing the fun with the real which is why she’s mandatory listening for me.

Hold Morgan Wallen accountable f... more
