The Rams had this one—easily. They built a 20–3 lead over the Buccaneers, and had the ball at the Tampa Bay 6-yard line in the waning moments of the first half. They were going to take a 20- or 24-point lead into halftime. OK, sure: They were facing Tom Brady, and he had one particularly famous comeback in recent memory. But they’d dominated the first half. It seemed like their game.
New episodes on Thursdays
Drew Magary and David Roth should really stick to sports. Sure, their new indie sports podcast will break down the week in sports: the Mets grounding into quadruple plays, NBA players getting testy on the court and horny on Instagram, or Bill Belichick cutting 80% of his roster just to keep himself interested. But these two men and their guests will have their fair share of off-the-field issues they’ll also have to address: stupid Funbag questions, bad tweets from bad people, pointless food arguments, and even less. Every week is a VERY long week these days. We could all use a little Distraction.
