Back in the day, the All-Star Game meant something, dammit! But now, nobody seems to really care — defense is non-existent, rules are brazenly broken, and players understandably don't want to get hurt in a game that doesn't count. So, what could the solution be?
We don't really have one. But we do know having the winner of an All-Star Game get rewarded come championship time — like how Major League Baseball gave home-field advantage to the league that won — is a terrible idea. At the very least, let's bring back those old All-Star jerseys!
Despite our qualms, there were some memorable moments from this year's All-Star games across sports. We're diving into that magic, including when Janelle Monae forgot that her team was on offense.
There are also slight spoilers for the show Squid Game at the beginning of this episode, though probably not worse than anything you've heard from friends who couldn't wait to talk about it.
Here's the episode of Joey's other podcast we talked about — go listen to Good People, Cool Things!
