Show Notes

Finally, February is finished! Let's celebrate the approach of Spring together with an hour full of sports geekiness! Today's episode is fresh with great stories about Wilt Chamberlain, Teemu Selanne, Jack Nicklaus, Seabiscuit and the Giants (barely) staying in San Francisco. Plus, fascinating little stories about a (semi) famous collapse on the Pro Bowlers' Tour, a fistfight at Mets' Spring Training,  Mario Lemieux finishing his chemotherapy in style and the NBA's leading scorer from the 1980's (it's not who you think). Plus, we did a DORK DRAFT (tm) about our favourite horse names from the American Triple Crown races over the years - and there are some doozies! Joining us to judge who picked the best names are  comic geniuses Aurora Browne (@alolabrowne) - who co-created Baroness Von Sketch Show and Kris Siddiqi (@thesiddiqs)  from The Boys and Molly's Game. Each of them are hilarious and irreverent on their own - but together they're perfect for this show. Available everywhere you get podcasts.  Also - please engage with us on IG  - direct all your questions, comments, disagreements, suggestions and opinions @thisdayinsports8. We gotta get the clicks!! (That's what the kids say, right?)
