Episode 44 - Sports Funnies...When Sports Were Something to Laugh At...

About this episode

This episode explores the humorous and odd side of sports from a time when they were less commercialized.

There was a time when sports didn’t always wear a suit and tie. Before every debate became a courtroom argument, before every player had a brand, and before every moment was immediately ranked, clipped, and monetized, sports were allowed to be funny. Not “commercial funny.” Not “viral funny.” Just plain, accidental, belly-laugh funny. In this episode, we take a look at some of the funny, and weird, side of sports. Whether its the odd ball nature of the games, the strangeness that surrounds some players, or the pure joy that comes from sports themed cartoons, we are sure you will love this episode. Looking back, it’s clear that a lot of love for sports didn’t start with standings or championships. It started with spinach-fueled uppercuts, rabbits striking out entire teams, dogs breaking every bone in their bodies, and little bald kids believing again. Enjoy... If you laugh, share a memory, or shake your head and say “they would never allow that now”… …then we did our job.
