The Borts

The calendar has turned to December and the BORTS have turned into CHEESY MOVIE WATCHING MACHINES. Throughout the yuletide month, we'll be watching our favorite Christmas movies from Lifetime, Hallmark, and MarVista and recapping them (sometimes with guests!). And if you're a good boy or girl, the Xmas Borts Elf will deliver a message at the end of the episode.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Sports are great but the one thing we all agree on: They could be better! The only way to do that is to change the rules.

Ben has a bunch of new rule ideas for baseball, basketball, football, and soccer that he thinks will make everything better. The Sports Borts Rules Courts is where he presents these new rule changes to Ashley "The Judge" Chavez-Wietmarschen so she can decide whether to "Call The Commish" and tell them to change the rule OR she tells Ben to "Go to jail, bitch" if the rule stinks. It's a simple system.

Yes, we've all played "Fuck, Marry, Kill." We get it, it's fun to cuss and wallow gallows humor from time to time, but the BORTS are more serious-minded about these things. Especially when it comes to sports.

Funnyman Jason Flowers joins the podcast and brings his sports version of FMK: "Cut, Trade, Super Max!" We explore the best sports trios of all time and decide who we'd get rid of, who we'd trade (or trade for), and who we'd allow to secure the bag, so to speak. 

Listen, play along, have some fun for once in your frickin life!

"I don't entertain hypotheticals" 

...is something you'll never hear on this dang old podcast. We love hypotheticals! In fact, we think they're VERY entertaining! The Borts welcome the very funny and nice Gary Richardson (SNL) to the Headquarts to ponder over 5 Q's:

1-What is the rubric for being the GOAT?

2-If you could be present for any sports moment in history, which one would it be?

3-What player has the best youtube compilation?

4-Who is your All-NBA team of only guards?

5-Which would you rather do: hit a 3 pointer at the buzzer, game 7 of the finals, score a winning goal in extra time of the World Cup championship game, or hit a grand slam to win Game 7 of the World Series?

All that and more answered on this episode of Sports Borts!

If you're like most Borts-heads, there's nothing more simultaneously calming AND exciting to you than watching your team play in an offseason league. We all know about baseball's Spring Training and, of course, soccer's famous FRIENDLIES, but how much do you know about NBA Summer League in Las Vegas every summer. It's got everything! Basketball's brightest stars wearing sweats in the stands, young ballers competing for their lives, and air conditioning! 

The funny and great Matt Hobby (Young Sheldon) talks to the Borts about his tradition of going to Summer League in Vegas most summers. The sights, the smells, the staring contests with DeMarcus Cousins. Along with some ska talk and analysis of when (or if) it's appropriate to wear jerseys anywhere but a game, this ep has everything. Listen!

Is Professional Wrestling a sport? That’s a question that is not addressed in this episode of Sports Borts because, frankly, we don't care. It's fun! And everyone who does it has a great bod! 

The very funny Dan Black (Comedians of Wrestling Podcast!) comes on the program to school the Borts on the dense, chaotic, thrilling, and most of all, ENTERTAINING world of Professional Wrestling. How does wrestling fit in a world mad for sports and drama? How does it reflect who we are and the values we hold dear, whether we're aware of those values or not? How does one build a great bod? All questions are answered AND MORE in this episode of Sports Borts. Listen!

Spend a little time on Rickey Henderson's Baseball Reference page (https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/henderi01.shtml) (Plz sponsor us Baseball-Reference!) and you will see that he's one of the best players in baseball history, but you'd also only be getting HALF the story...

The very funny and sports savvy comedy man, Dan Abramson, stops by Sports Borts Headquarts to talk about the thrilling, awe-inspiring, and frankly hilarious career of Rickey Henderson. Dan relays some stories, mostly apocryphal, that built the Rickey legend, talks about how Rickey is every baseball kid's dream athlete, and how Rickey was unfairly treated in his own time. Dan also discusses the therapy of his Buffalo Bills fandom and we answer a listener question about SCRIPTED SPORTS TV SHOWS.

This episode has it all folks, and I think you should just shut up already and LISTEN!

Milwaukee! The land of beer and brats and Giannis Antetokounmpo and this week's guest on the Borts: Rick Carrera!

The newly hyper-relevant Bucks took the NBA by storm this year, finishing with the League's best record and (possibly) an MVP. But what's it like to actually be a Milwaukee Bucks fan? Rick walks us through his history with the team including the Michael Redd era, shouting at players from VERY affordable first deck seats, and Jesus Shuttlesworth himself. The Borts also discuss batting cages, miniature golf, and a listener question about the best sport to play on a big time romantic DATE!
