  • Tim, trim the fat!!

    Great concept poisoned by a seemingly narcissistic host, taking the longest path to a question for the mere satisfaction of hearing his own voice. Tim’s surreal roundabout way of speaking is almost impressively infuriating.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

411: "Make Me Commissioner" - With Jane Leavy
Q: What got to you to put pen to paper on this particular topic about baseball, its state?
Leavy felt a strong compulsion to write about baseball, particularly because there seemed to be no current player or figure whose story begged to be told that hadn't already had a great literary treatment.
406: The 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics - With Tommy Phillips
Q: How did you come to write your book on the 1980 Moscow Olympics?
I have always been interested in this topic since I saw the movie Miracle, and decided to write a book about the 1980 Olympics as no one else has covered it in detail.
404: Petty vs. Pearson: The Rivalry That Shaped NASCAR - With Mike Hembree
Q: What makes this rivalry unique compared to others?
Unlike many rivalries in sports, Petty and Pearson maintained mutual respect and camaraderie outside of racing, which contributed to the longevity of their competitive relationship.
399: Roller Hockey International's San Jose Rhinos - With Brad Porteus
Q: Can you see Roller Hockey International coming back?
I think it would be hard to recreate the same low-cost model and spontaneity of the RHI era.
396: "Play Harder" - With Gerald Early
Q: How does integration fit into the history of Black baseball?
Integration was not just a game change, it brought benefits and casualties, as the Negro Leagues held economic power that was diminished when the MLB became integrated.
