SIDELINE SPECTATOR
by Jake Smith
The Sideline Spectator is a sports show podcast hosted by Jake & Kail. The basis is that NERDS ARE RUINING SPORTS. The games we grew up idolizing are being destroyed by pocket calculators & spreadsheets. We are here to give you accurate sports takes based off actually watching the games. Twitter has turned into casual fans that just pull stats to fit their agenda without watching the games. We take everything into account. We use the eye test & most importantly there are no sacred cows.
