About this episode

Dave Dameshek interviews Pablo Torre about improving the NFL and the nature of sports fandom.

Dave offers ways to improve the NFL, by stealing from other professional sports. How much better would football be if the players could fight? What about relegation and stoppage time? We also get into a deep debate about nuts. Then Dave gives Pablo Torre the James Lipton questionnaire, adapted from Bernard Pivot. What's his favorite word? What's his least favorite word? Are nuts a snack or a treat? He answers it all and then gets deep about being a true fan of sports. It's a can't miss interview with the top sports journalist in the game.
