Bro, love your podcast but the best man was not Billy Martin. It was for Jimmy B, the owner of a bar in Detroit where all Tigers went to and was a bar not check cashing place

I think a segment on Oklahoma legendary coach Barry Switzer would be awesome. While many current older coaches like Saban or Gundy struggled with the new NIL model I believe Barry would have thrived. If you haven’t read Bootleggers Boy about his life it is a great back drop to a story about him.

Love this show, always interesting and entertaining. I’d love to hear more about my Atlanta Braves choking the ‘96 World Series to a not-yet-great Yankees team after being up 2-0 in the Bronx and how that was actually a worse choke than my Falcons 28-3 because it woke something up in New York that became a juggernaut. So what I’m saying is, I am a sad Braves fan who can’t seem to shake off the bad memories (related: winning only 1 WS with all those epic teams - arguably the best rotation in hist... more

Read you books Jeff. My favorite was the Walter Payton biography. Would love to hear about boxer Larry Holmes following Ali or something on Eric Dickerson.
Apple Podcasts5ABC WW of SportsUnited Statesa month ago - So enjoyable
Journalists are at their best, wonderful story tellers. Jeff Pearlman is simply the best at it. I would love if he could do something on the competition between Thurmon Munson and Carlton Fisk in the early part of their careers.
