When it comes to sports, we all have bias. Whether teams or players, we all have ones we love, and ones we love to hate! This often clouds our vision, keeping us from seeing things clearly. In dating, we call this beer goggles. When bias clouds our sports takes, we call it Sport Goggles.
Clint VanDyne and Marc Dixon share their thoughts on a variety of sports topics and leave it to you to decide who’s seeing clearly, and who needs to take off the Sports Goggles. Welcome to the Sports Goggles Podcast!
