So Much Sportswatching

The World Baseball Classic is testing the limits of our attention spans and our channel surfing. We are loving the father-son stories, the espresso shots, the real estate agents, the moms and high school kids, and all the Kims, and are wondering where the politics went. In our last boyfriend week, we bring you our picks for the Blue Jays and the Brewers. We found two more kids who wanted their dads to play for TOR, one wanting to stay and one picking them first among 30. For MIL, we look to a former Red Sox and a current Team Canada player. Our police blotter looks at how multiyear contracts may make PEDs worth the risk – is that what Jurickson Profar found? And we crosstrain with the Seattle Rugby Club as they join #rugbyforall to counter USA Rugby’s new transphobic policy. We say “She’s gonna pick a bird,” “the clickah circuit,” and “suck it, Draftkings.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.
