Podcast Description: Andrew Cohen is an “athlete” best known for his money 3-point shot, killer slice forehand and natural charm. Sam Pausman is a retired athlete who can often be found watching some European sport at 7 a.m. on Saturday morning. And Mike Randall, our Lebron-loving linebacker, is best known for his pickup post-up game and unapologetic football fandom. In this show, they break down the day’s biggest storylines, investigate compelling sports trends and do their best to avoid coming off as massive sports nerds. No hot takes here, just smart takes.
