Talking Sports at Work

News EN ↓ 82 episodes

My stream-of-consciousness rambling about sports topics while driving. We discuss everything from the NFL and college football to college basketball and the NBA (with a tiny bit of baseball and other less important sports thrown in) from the only slightly biased perspective of a lifelong Tennessee fan, a side-hustle sports writer, and a permanently unbalanced recovering addict/alcoholic. Yeah, there’s a lot to unpack here, so join me for the ride and let’s hope we both make it back safely!

Black Friday Special 24.11.2023 45:28

A shorter-than-usual episode, with me trying to be more concise and staying on topic. Of course, my brain is what is, and I can only do so much. Discussing the Thanksgiving games, Black Friday game, and the upcoming slate of college and NFL football. And of course, some personal ramblings that probably shouldn’t be shared with the world. Happy Black Friday!

You may be able to tell, I had a Red Bull before the second portion of today’s episode. Listen to me ramble about the sports topics of the day, including TNF’s Ravens/Bengals game, the Burrow and Andrew’s injuries, more Michigan drama, the upcoming Vols/Dawgs game, and more! Also, we start our show with a very special statistical TMI segment dealing with my current romantic predicament.
