Is This A Great Game, Or What?

Jeff Francoeur, A Pure Athlete

Episode Summary

Jeff Francoeur has a really unique perspective on how kids should be playing sports these days in addition to hilarious stories from his playing days including when he was told to fake an injury. A new Kurkjian Quandary, this time about football and a wild animal, and a GameChanger that has everyone scratching their heads.

Episode Notes

It can’t be understated the amount of fun we had with Jeff Francoeur. We discussed his new venture, “Pure Athlete,” that is so focused on the importance of correctly navigating youth sports. He added stories of being on the golf course with John Smoltz and Tiger Woods. Or the time Bobby Cox had him fake an injury! This conversation is one of our favorites to date. 

Stat-O-Matic, the market leader in sports simulations, helped us figure out if there was a way that the Cubs curse could’ve been broken sooner. Tim goes off the rails with his new “Best Of All-Tim,” a bit of a stretch even to his standards. Finally, our Kurkjian Quandary is all about a recent NFL Hall of Fame inductee and we are certain you will agree with our decision on this one.
