Author and former SI writer Jeff Pearlman is here to talk about his brand new book, Three Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty. The book is incredible, and Jeff was kinda enough to go into detail on everything from the best stories surrounding those Lakers teams, to the writing process, to the strange and tragic death of Kobe Bryant in the days after he finished the manuscript. A great convo with one of my favorites; enjoy!

Golf.com's Alan Shipnuck is simply one of the best golf, nay, *sports*writers out there, and we chat for an hour about his life, his career, the state of the PGA Tour, the Bryson Revolution, and writing/journalism in general.

A look back at one of (read "the") greatest college football games ever played: The Fiesta Bowl, New Year's Day in 2007, between Boise State and Oklahoma.

Super excited today to have the great Joe Posnanski, author, podcaster, and writer at The Athletic, on the show. We talk about his life growing up in Ohio and Charlotte, the struggle to find his career path, the crazy amount of talent assembled at the unlikely Kansas City Star, the controversy attached to his Paterno book, whether Nicklaus vs. Watson is the greatest rivalry in golf history, the gorgeous, insular world of North Carolina USTA tennis, and, of course, BASEBALL. Lots of baseball.

In this episode, I look back at the 1956 Olympic water polo match between Hungary and the Soviet Union; the so-called "Blood in the Water" match, in the shadow of the Hungarian revolution.

In today's episode, we look at the Richard Riots, a massive street demonstration that culminated in violence and vandalism in Montreal following the suspension of Maurice "Rocket" Richard in 1955 by NHL president Clarence Campbell.

Christina Kim is a multi-talented human who can play golf, write, and apparently do television commentary at an extremely high level. She's a five-time winner as a professional, and today she chats about her entire life, from getting into golf as a kid, turning pro, overcoming mental health issues, winning on the LPGA Tour, and managing her game and life through the quarantine. Not to be missed!

Jay Busbee of Yahoo Sports is on to talk about the Bubba Wallace/noose incident at Talladega, and the strange twists and turns the story took over the last week.
