I like seeing people approach sports talk in different ways…which is what we are up to at Alternative Sports Talk.

So, why can’t other stuff look like this? Why aren’t regional sports networks setting a half-hour aside after every broadcast to feature a few analysts, and maybe some writers covering the team (ESPN FC’s writers have appeared on the show) have a loose, casual discussion of what’s going on. Why can’t the vibe of sports television, overall, treat sports more like entertainment than life and death?
