Hot takes and bold opinions from amateur sports professionals. We take ourselves seriously so you don't have to.
It's Super Bowl week, and the Offside crew is here to make sure you have everything you need for the big game! Instead of re-hashing the best Super Bowl snack debate from last year, we take aim at slightly less controversial topics such as "Is Tom Brady the GOAT?" and "Is Andy Reid better than Bill Belichick?" It's going to be a fun time, friends. Also in this episode: Noah and the Brothers Ponche are happy about the Cardinals, Jacob is nervous about MLS CBA negotiations and we find out that Nick Ponche is a Utah Jazz fan for... reasons.
