Play Ball Geoffs! But wear your helmets…this week we were BOTH spinning in the sports world. Madison is covering the macabre history of the olympics, and then Spencer is talking all about sports deaths and the most dangerous sports in the world! We’ve got an obituary that spoke for itself and one equal parts shady and loving. Don’t worry, we didn’t forget, we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminallllls!
