Sports Without Borders: Global Sports Talk
Sports Without Borders
Welcome to Sports Without Borders, where passion meets perspective and sports know no boundaries.
Hosted by Kendal Mensah, a Gen Z sports journalist with a love for every sport under the sun, and Mark Mancini, a seasoned broadcasting pro with decades behind the mic, this podcast bridges generations, continents, and cultures — one game at a time.
Whether it’s football (both kinds), hoops, cricket, combat sports, or the headlines shaping the sports world, Kendal and Mark bring fresh takes, classic insights, and plenty of banter. They don’t always agree — and that’s half the fun.

Episode 33 of Sports Without Borders blends milestone moments, injury fallout, and cultural commentary from across the sports world. The crew kicks things off with the latest Baseball Hall of Fame election, celebrating the inductions of Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones, and reflecting on the legacy each leaves on the game.
The conversation then shifts to the NBA, as the hosts break down Jimmy Butler’s season-ending ACL injury and his viral reaction, bringing the “general soreness” meme back into the spotlight. In Behind the Game, the focus goes global with a look at handball and its growing role in the international sports landscape.
The Hot Take sparks a spirited debate over whether fantasy football has changed—or even damaged—real football fandom, before the episode wraps with Riley’s Rant taking aim at Timothée Chalamet and his awards-season dominance.
