We’ve ombuds’d with Spike. Can we ombuds’d with Mike? We tried to stay on topic with Mike Pesca, public radio/sports podcasting legend, but we ended up hitting so many subjects outside this here website. Subjects include, but aren’t limited to:
I just came back from Florida. What’s the deal?
There once was a banana that everyone ate and it was called The Big Mike. Now it’s extinct.
I went on Pesca’s podcast to discuss Giannis Antetokounmpo’s “there’s no failure in sports” moment. We analyze why his listeners hated our take.
Is it helpful to exaggerate certain societal threats?
Mike’s NBA vs. Senate salary comp became a random controversy
I’m trying to outsmart Elon Musk. Good luck to me.
Is, “Go Woke, Go Broke?” true or false?
Mike wonders why I didn’t cover certain stories, like Jon Gruden’s Raiders ouster
The conversation about women’s sports isn’t very nuanced
Mike asks for my most progressive sports media opinion
