Monobob is my number one event name and probably one of my top five sports in this Olympics. This was epic and such a wonderful story too ❤️🥇
I love the Winter Olympics 🇬🇧🥇
Matt Weston. That is all.
Bad Bunny deserves a lot of credit for his half time show being so wholesome, positive and powerful, that it left the only reason to dislike it being, basically, racism. Well played.
I'm going to pretend I'm happy the Seahawks won, when I'm really happy that the Patriots lost.
Yes. Yes*. Hell yes.
*but not that one.
NEW EPISODE
It's here - the Super Bowl.
We talk helmet catches, trick plays, Joe Namath's hubris, Kurt Warner's Greatest Show on Turf and much more.
Was Super Bowl III the most important ever? Was a pass play actually the right call by Pete Carroll? And is Eli Manning, in fact, Tom Brady's daddy?
The drone chase cam in the downhill is glorious.

Winter Olympics Series episode 7 of 10.
The story of arguably the Winter games most infamous scandal, the assault on Nancy Kerrigan planned by the husband of Tonya Harding.

Out now on all good podcast providers.
Really enjoyed this one. If the Winter Olympics aren't about enthusiastic amateurs strapping on a pair of skis and launching themselves off a 90m ski slope just because they can, then what are they about?
