The only sport I follow to much of a degree is hockey. I enjoy watching the NHL and at least have some knowledge about the game and its players. That said, I do know the biggest names in other sports. Rob Gronkowski has always been an interesting character to me. Humorous, outspoken, and smarter than he acts/portrays, he's a funny fellow. I heard an ad on the radio for how he had a podcast with another former footballer I will confess to not knowing of, Julian Edelman. The name of that podcast? "Dudes on Dudes." Pretty clever and something to be sure you type with extra keywords (like the hosts' names) if you search for it online to avoid a different sort of Google result.
"Dudes on Dudes," debuted this year and features Gronk and Edelman giving us a new episode every Tuesday during the NFL season where they talk about football, its players, and basically crack jokes. I know very little about football, but I gave a solid chunk of the newest episode a listen and it was fun. The guys talked about how there is a game being played in Germany and about the NFL wanting to expand outside of the states in its popularity further. They also chatted about notable former player Stephen A. Smith (who tied into the Germany theme this episode as he spent a chunk of his youth growing up there) and they basically shot the breeze but never were boring, thankfully. I will say Gronk's attempt to learn and speak some German was hilariously awful too.
If you're a fan of Gronk/Edelman, enjoy football, or just like a fun podcast, "Dudes on Dudes," is a fun time. My lack of football knowledge had me scratching my head at some aspects of the conversation and I'm sure a number of jokes went over my head, but I understood enough that I liked the show. You can check it out wherever podcasts are available--I used Spotify!
