Remember playing sports as a kid, with terrible equipment, unexplainable injuries and fields littered with gopher holes? We definitely do!

Cheer us on from the sidelines as Eve, Chris, Courtney and Lori share both our athletic triumphs and defeats along with memorable sporting events and mishaps (Nancy Kerrigan anyone?). Plus thoughts on 2020/2021 Olympic brouhaha, obsolete sports we’d like to see again (can you say Skijoring?) and so much more. Grab one of those useless helmets and drive on in.
