Need some rainy day listening? Here’s NPR’s “Pop Culture Happy Hour,” taking on sports in a new segment called “Giant Foam Finger,” with an Eagles fan and Packers fan discussing Freddie Mitchell’s famous ‘4th and 26’ catch. Depending on which side of fandom you’re on, they describe it as “either an amazing against-all-odds triumph of the human spirit or a soul-crushing debacle that’s seared into our worst nightmares.” We Eagles fans are on the more enjoyable side of that. So if you want to hear a Packers fan’s story about bashing his fists into the carpet until he’s light-headed, click play above.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
