December 28, 2021Introducing 'Probability' from Man in the Arena Whether you love him or hate him or are somehow completely indifferent, you’ve probably spent at least some of the last 20 years thinking about Tom Brady. Brady has altered friendships, families and communities. He’s changed the trajectory of careers and reputations, enabled fairy tale dreams to be both realized and dashed. 'Man In the Arena' is a new 10-part series from ESPN and Religion of Sports that looks at those two decades of Brady through the eyes of the fans and the haters, those in the arena and those outside. Host Gotham Chopra grapples with these big themes, while grounding the podcast in his personal relationship with Tom and his journey from a Brady fan to Tom’s friend.Using Brady’s improbable comeback against the Falcons, and all his other come-from-behind victories, this episode looks at the role probability plays in our lives.GUESTS: Neil Paine from 538, Doug Kezerian from Daily Wager, Alessandro Bonatti, game theorist from MIT, plus two coaches from the "greatest high school football game ever played."Listen on Apple Podcasts (https://apple.co/3FgQalz), Spotify (https://spoti.fi/3c6q4oB), or search "Man In the Arena" wherever you're listening now....more November 09, 2021Football Is Weird, Part Infinity In our last Hot Takedown, the team looks at NFL chaos from this week and college basketball chaos to come.
