About this episode
I highly recommend Football, Chuck Klosterman’s latest book. In this podcast, we discuss his trenchant and personal exploration of the sport, along with the following topics…
* Are we primarily writers or podcasters?
* Many believe that young people are correct about the future, but few think they were smarter as young people
* Will opinions change less often now that we are publicly anchored to opinions?
* Would Chuck lie if his privacy was violated to procure damning information?
* Why do we want coaches to be scary assholes?
* Chuck asks me if I scream at my kids
* Why Mike Holmgren screamed at Andy Reid
* The media driven ego battle between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady
* Why television dominates our sports memories for games we saw in person
* Do we want football to stay American?
* Has history forgotten Roger Staubach?
* Chuck has been a closeted Dallas Cowboys fan
