SPORTS
A lot has happened on the sports front since these episodes were recorded, as most major leagues have cancelled or postponed their seasons to try to help contain COVID-19. On Tight Ends, Vanda Favaro discusses the NFL Combine with Nick from the What is Sports? podcast; they also got into March Madness, before the NCAA basketball tournament was cancelled. The NHL season still seemed to be going ahead when The 4th Line and Hockey Feels recorded — that’s changed, but there’s still some interesting hockey talk. Loyal Company of the River Valley discusses some former FC Edmonton player news and the effects of the COVID-19 virus on soccer worldwide. And, relatively immune from all of this, Ryan Ballantine of the CFL Horsemen plays the heel in a most entertaining fashion on the Eskimo Empire Podcast.
