Steve Almond, author of Candyfreak and a former sports reporter, joins us on the podcast to discuss his latest book, the provocatively titled “Against Football: One Fan’s Reluctant Manifesto.” Throughout the course of a fascinating, thoughtful and humorous in-depth interview, Almond explains why his moral qualms with the game of football ultimately outweighed its grace, beauty and entertainment for him, and he quit watching altogether, forcing Austin, Jeremy and Kevin to ponder whether to do the same.
