The New Laettner, Golf's Soul and Athletes Stuck In The Wrong Era

This week on The Athletic Show, Zena, Robert, and Jason break down a week of sports history in the making. Braylon Mullins’ stunned Duke with an absolute "bonkers" buzzer beater to send UConn to the Final Four. We debate whether Mullins has officially dethroned the "Laettner Moment" as the greatest in NCAA history. Then, we explore the "Victims of Circumstance." Inspired by recent reporting on NFL legend Doug Flutie, the crew discusses the athletes who were simply born in the wrong era. Who are the stars of the past that would be undisputed #1 picks in today's modern schemes? Finally, we go behind the scenes of the technological arms race threatening the soul of golf. The Athletic’s Brody Miller joins the studio to take us inside Callaway’s HQ to ask the big question: Is innovation making the game too easy?Hosts & GuestsZena Keita @itszenakeitaRobert Mays @robertmaysBrody Miller @BrodyAMillerMix: Matt ShiltsExecutive Producer: Maggie BurbankProducers: Jen Bradley, Stephen LorenzoA Production of The Athletic, Ode Studios, and Banner Studios Hosted on Acast.
