The Sportive episodes

August 16, 2018 #251: Electronic Yore
We talk EXTREMELY intelligently about the Vikings preseason game (didn't see it), the Boy Geniuses (can't make up our minds), the Loons (shrug emoji) and eSports (never heard of 'em). In the plus column, we were able to crack 4-5 solid jokes AND gave an earnest shout-out to Lindsay Whalen, so all was not lost. Thanks as always for your patronage.
