85 Best Sports Podcasts

This is my list of the best sports podcasts out there. Here's a little background: I've been listening to more and more sports podcasts these days. I think it's because I'm just happy that sports are back. I grew up watching ESPN and being a fan of all sports but over time I became more of a football fan. Since I started listening to more sports podcasts though, I've found that the best shows are more of the general sports topics as they have the best interviews and news episodes. That said, I've included a bunch of individual sports topics like NFL, NBA, golf, baseball, and hockey podcasts. This is a long list of the top podcasts in sports. I've listened to all of them but I don't regularly listen to them.
