About The Biggest Game
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to 'The Biggest Game,' a new video podcast where we talk all things Super Bowl. The history of the game, its impact, its place in the world of sports and beyond. From its humble beginnings to…
its rise to the pinnacle of the American sports and cultural landscape. No aspect of the game is too obscure to escape our gaze. We are interested in the players and coaches, the winners and losers, the most spectacular performances and plays. But we’re also interested in the drama and stories behind the scenes. The business of the Super Bowl. The commercials. The halftime shows. The greatest renditions of the national anthem. All of it. We’ll be joined by the men who played in the game and by other people who played a role in the growth and development of the Super Bowl. Join Jeremy Schaap, one of ESPN’s most respected and longest-tenured personalities, as he explores the evolution of America’s biggest game.
