Ep. 040: Why Modern Athletes Lack OG Toughness
Manage episode 466409250 series 3615663
Cam Newton went on Travis Hunter's podcast and gave him some questionable advice that the guys talk over. Josh Allen's MVP speech led to a touching moment with "Slick Rick" in the Bills mailroom, and the fellas discuss the beauty of sports and being on a team. As the dust from the Super Bowl settles, the guys jump in on the controversial discussion about the mentality differences between old school athletes and modern ones. The guys argue on whether or not Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have too nonchalant of an approach to a massive moment like the Super Bowl, and compare the behavior and mindset to that of Tom Brady. Last week's Luka Doncic trade sent shockwaves through the NBA and sports world, and the guys touch on Luka's debut with the Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks organization and fandom in shambles. They end the show debating whether football will ever eclipse soccer in global popularity, as Lionel Messi's appearance at the Super Bowl made a big splash. All this and more on today's episode of No Warmup.
