In 2018, the sports media landscape is oversaturated with outrageously ridiculous opinions called “hot takes.” Everyone wants to have the “first take,” but no one wants to get it right or admit when they’re wrong. If you want interesting perspectives instead of “hot takes,” hosts who admit when they’re wrong instead of twisting the truth to save face, and complete authenticity instead of scripted rants, this is the sports podcast for you. Hosted by James Faris (@JFarisSports) and Noah Ziegler (@NoahZiegler44).
