PTFO - Lost in Translation: Why You Can’t Understand the NFL
Manage episode 438341320 series 2901302
There is nothing America loves more but understands less than the NFL, whose coaches, players, and analysts love jargon. But as Pablo discovered earlier this summer, you should be careful calling out this burgeoning fetish for linguistic complexity. So today, ahead of tonight’s season-opener in Kansas City, we ask former quarterback and NFL scout Nate Tice, the host of Football 301, to break the code — and finally explain how jocks got revenge on the nerds, taking over a national conversation. And how much Spider 2 is actually in your Y-Banana.
