I highly recommend Football, Chuck Klosterman’s latest book. In this podcast, we discuss his trenchant and personal exploration of the sport, along with the following topics…

* Are we primarily writers or podcasters?

* Many believe that young people are correct about the future, but few think they were smarter as young people

* Will opinions change less often now that we are publicly anchored to opinions?

* Would Chuck lie if his privacy was violated to procure damning information?

* Why do we want coaches to be scary assholes?

* Chuck asks me if I scream at my kids

* Why Mike Holmgren screamed at Andy Reid

* The media driven ego battle between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady

* Why television dominates our sports memories for games we saw in person

* Do we want football to stay American?

* Has history forgotten Roger Staubach?

* Chuck has been a closeted Dallas Cowboys fan
