Good Hustle
by Andrew Mackey
Sports is emotional gambling. We put so much into a team over the course of a lifetime, and in the end, it either pays off with championship parades or leaves you bankrupt. Good Hustle is a podcast that explores some of the most underwhelming, underperforming, and suboptimal teams in the history of sports - and the fans that love them. Each episode is a deep dive into a season that most franchises would rather forget. Have a season you'd like covered on Good Hustle?
