Deep Cover Podcast

Here's an episode for the Harry Potter fans out there. A recent conversation about the Harry Potter movie franchise got me thinking about the fictional game of Quidditch and how it applies to the sports we watch here in the Muggle world.

To talk about this, I am joined by my good friend and fellow Harry Potter fan Gina Burns. We talk about the parallels between the sport and real-life sports, potential rule adjustments, and how format could have been expanded in the Wizarding World universe.

Micah Parsons is no longer a Cowboy, but what does it mean for the team moving forward? I am joined this week by Aaron Ball, host of Tacos & Touchdowns Live and a contributor for FanSided covering the Dallas Cowboys. We talk about the trade, Jerry Jones, and the overall direction of a team that feels mired in mediocrity.

A big thank you to Aaron for joining me, make sure to check out all of his stuff HERE. If you enjoyed this episode, please consider following us on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.

Welcome back to another episode of the Deep Cover Podcast. This week let's get into AI and sports. The NFL has entered its AI era with the latest in its Microsoft partnership. The league is using technology as a tool in a time where the AI market is looking to solidify its utility to many skeptics.

But for the average sports fan, using AI means using a chatbot that can often spit out incorrect information. Let's explore AI and sports, why it isn't going away, and why it is far from being a perfect solution.
