aaronnam@gmail.com (Aaron Nam) — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 06:52:00 +0000

We gave Adam Weinrib a call to learn about the One At Bat phenomenon that has taken over the internet and sports world (Outside the Lines at ESPN) and that he has been a major part of. Take a listen and sign the petition if you haven't already. In two days they've already accumulated over 11,000 signatures. You're missing out if you haven't signed yet.

College Football Preview with Albro Lundy

aaronnam@gmail.com (Aaron Nam) — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 00:29:00 +0000

New playoff system, conference realignment, Matt Barkley's return! College football is back, baby, but this ain't the game your momma grew up watching (wuddup Halsey and Jesse).

New characters, expected plot twists, new bad guys, old bad guys, and the ones we're all rooting for.

Who's ready for football?

Lance Armstrong Apologist -- Jesse Towsen

aaronnam@gmail.com (Aaron Nam) — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 06:28:00 +0000

Lance Armstrong did what?! Cycling. Who cares? Really, though. Except when Lance Armstrong's name is mentioned.

Jesse Towsen wants you to take a second and hear both sides of the story before drinking any of that Armstrong-haterade. Valid points across the board. Also, check out this relevant Quora post (that Jesse sent me at 8am this morning).

The bigger question is how do we as sports fans stop ourselves from idolizing these players off the court/field/tour. Everyone wants to be like Mike, right? Right.

Why the Wire with Topaz

aaronnam@gmail.com (Aaron Nam) — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 17:01:00 +0000

Called up my buddy Jonathan Topaz and let him make the case for why everyone should watch The Wire. I'll put it this way, I'm definitely enticed.

Great to catch up with a gem of a man. Everyone should take a listen regardless of their position on The Wire (including apathy). Truly an amazing show. Some would say Biblical.

*Again, forgive the low production value--had some mishaps at the condo yesterday, which has put your host out of power, water, and, most importantly, the Internet. Welcome to real life. I'm coming at you from the Starbucks across the street from my house if you couldn't identify the background blending and espresso-making sounds.

Newsroom and Breaking Bad Breakdown with JT

aaronnam@gmail.com (Aaron Nam) — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 03:55:00 +0000

Breaking down the Newsroom with Jesse Towsen prior to the season finale. Somehow managed to refrain from professing my love for Olivia Munn for the entirety of the episode. Yes. A miracle. Although we still want Sam Waterson to be our grandfather. Or maybe just best friend.

We also digressed into Jesse's infamous 1000 reasons Why Breaking Bad Sucks. Go after him. I'm unleashing the dogs.

Cell reception got choppy at the end, making for a rough landing. Production team (yours truly) is having a hard time editing everything with the influx of recordings, so apologies for the low prod value.

Adam Weinrib -- The End of the Dwightmare

aaronnam@gmail.com (Aaron Nam) — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 08:17:00 +0000

We learned...

I'm cautious.
Adam's not. Reverse jinxing in full effect.
No one can hate the Lakers because of Steve Nash. Bless his soul.
Kobes a lucky mofo. Shaq, Pau & Bynum, Dwight?
Superteams need adjustment periods
Mike Brown is not Phil Jackson. Repeat, not Phil Jackson
It still sucks to be a New York fan.
Seattle needs a team. Sacramento does not.

Enjoy.
