"We're [mostly] not talking about that." (Cast Iron Balls #20)

We may not be talking too much about THAT, but there’s plenty of important and silly sports news to discuss, along with our usual preview of this weekend’s college football action. And don’t miss Jimmy Carter’s return to our voicemail inbox—Jimmy’s got a TAKE on Mike Gundy’s fan-disparaging comments from earlier in the week. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here.
