Robert Andrew Powell is a journalist and the author of three books. His first book, We Own This Game: A Season In The Adult World of Youth Football, chronicles the season of the Liberty City Warriors, a Pop Warner team in Miami, Florida. His book explores the youth football scene of Liberty City, where the sport is looked at as a celebration of their culture, but also where children take the first step toward fulfilling not only their dream, but also their parent's dreams of becoming a professional football player to escape their violent and crime ridden environment. https://www.thefootballodyssey.com/gridiron-outliers/the-history-of-youth-football https://www.thefootballodyssey.com/ https://twitter.com/FootballOdyc https://www.instagram.com/thefootballodyssey/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Jude Deveraux is a prolific romance writer. She’s a New York Times Bestseller and the author of more than 40 novels. One day, the celebrated novelist sought out the services of a psychic named Rose Marks. The two bonded immediately, and pretty soon, Jude found herself forking over millions upon millions of dollars. But was Rose really a psychic? Or was she a con artist? Then Kristin tells us about a horrific quadruple murder in a high-end Washington, D.C. neighborhood. When firefighters arrived at the Savopoulos family home, they though they were dealing with a house fire. When they got inside, they realized that the home was a crime scene. Savvas and Amy Savopoulos, their 10-year-old son Philip, and the family’s housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa had all been retrained, beaten, and murdered. But who could have done such a thing? Investigators hit a breakthrough when they discovered leftover Domino’s pizza. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.

The announcement closely mirrored a similar press conference four years ago: no team name, colors, or locked-down stadium location. What’s new? The addition to the ownership group of the Mas brothers, sons of an iconic Cuban exile who left behind a controversial legacy as one of Miami’s most prominent anti-Castro figures.
