Or something else? * What was Matt doing in Hungry during the 1990s?* The post Berlin Wall era vs. the post 9/11 era* We talk about my article on the 9/11 era in sports vs. today’s team-endorsed messaging* Leagues and teams are externalizing their internal issues with workforce homophobia* Welch is, sadly, an Angels fan. How does he feel about these calls to trade Ohtani?* Is Ohtani really like if Patrick Mahomes was also Nick Bosa? Or is it different?* The A’s are sad (Was Moneyball as a business strategy missing the forest for the trees?)
