32 Fans

We interrupt your regularly scheduled team previews to bring you a reading of a 17 year old fantasy football column by Bill Simmons. This episode’s outro was the #1 song in America the week this column came out.

Steve Apter is back to talk about the Washington professional football team. Today’s outro is Bottled in Cork by the DC band Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.

After two consecutive weeks in which our podcasts were dedicated to trashing Mitchell Trubisky, is it possible we’re wrong? We’ll find out from annual Bears guest Ari Gleicher. Or maybe we just spend the whole time talking about Charles Nagy, Jay Leno, Anthony Miller, and other 1990s celebrities. Today’s outro is Swing Life Away by the […]

We are 32 days from the NFL regular season, which means it’s time for 32 fans in 32 days! We start the 2018 edition by welcoming back Zach Sosna to tell us how the 21st-ranked Bengals are going to disappoint him this year. Today’s outro is Anna Sun by Cincinnati’s own Walk the Moon.

No Cian (who was fired from ESPN, according to his own words, for “being ignorant”), so this week Keev and Alex debut their own preseason NFL QB rankings. Keev also rants about judging scandals in his local children’s gymnastics competition and the Ringer’s TV episode rankings. Watch the Wienerkur performance here. See Alex and Keev’s QB […]

Alex starts today’s podcast on a pretty serious topic (1-800-273-TALK). Later Keev makes fun of three bad tweets and the guys discuss the WNBA All Stars before reminiscing about their greatest (worst?) ever personal sports moments. Today’s outro is Fire and Rain by James Taylor.

Kawhi Leonard is off to Canada, so an emergency podcast is called for. We also FJM a terrible soccer take and Alex begs everyone to watch Game of Zones. This week’s outro is Must’ve Been by Chromeo. If you know anyone taking French at Columbia/Barnard, tell them to take it with Prof. Macklovitch.

With NFL training camps two weeks away, it’s time to go backwards. This week we review the 1960 season and the debut of the AFL. Here is the Cardinals logo: And here is the 49ers logo: This week’s intro is On Our Way by the Royal Concept. The outro is Bobby Fuller Died For Your Sins […]

Recorded immediately after England’s PK survival against Colombia, Keev and Alex discuss the end of the NBA and the continuation of the World Cup. Afraid of Summer by Lost Lander.

Are we nice? Did Alex discover the ultimate proof that a hot dog is not a sandwich? How much does Keev hate Kawhi? What is the Elefantordenen? And what happens to our guest Simon Stern, English football expert, who drops off suddenly after previewing just one of the eight matches in the round of 16 of the World […]

The final piece to our spring trilogy on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this week we welcome Nina Stoddard and Kirsten MacInnis to rank the 10 worst human beings in music history. Also Keev and Alex talk about some current events, both in their personal lives and the world at large. (But mostly sports, […]

You really have to hate America and love Putin (and corruption) to be as excited for the 2018 FIFA World Cup as Akiva is (or this guy). We welcome soccer expert and fine fellow Harold Rosengarten to make predictions, while Alex tells us who to root for. Who is Alex rooting for in this World Cup? Gee, I […]

It’s official, LeBron is better than Jordan. (Alex even made a playoffs-only chart that comes to that same conclusion.) Keev also asks Alex about the Twins, but really just as an excuse for him to talk about the Mets. Then we get to a continuation of last week’s episode, when we ranked all 214 musical […]

A couple of weeks ago music critic Bill Wyman wrote a piece for Vulture ranking all 214 artists in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This deeply embarrassed Alex, who couldn’t believe there was a ranking he hadn’t yet made, so he and Keev quickly made good and created their own rankings. Then, they argued about them so […]

For Episode 200, it’s a very special Ask Us Anything, as listeners email, tweet and Facebook in questions, and Keev and Alex (and maybe guests?) give their answers, and otherwise tell long meandering stories. This week’s outro is Mad World by Gary Jules, in memory of listener Dominic Malpiedi. RIP.

This week Alex and Keev discuss the second round of the NBA playoffs, Kawhi Leonard (because of course), the Twins and Mets, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, in which sport we’re least likely to see an expansion team win it all, and the death of NASCAR. Then, under Alex’s protest, Keev plays a trivia game with […]

Keev and Alex discuss the NFL draft, the NBA playoffs and roast comedy and then argue about their sports month rankings. This week’s outro is Mr. November by the National.

We’re back with the annual 32 Fans a 17-Fans-and-4-Reddits mock draft of the first 23 picks of the 2018 NFL draft. Keev ran this one himself without Alex’s organizational abilities, which is why they didn’t quite make it through the entire round. Jordan Kalish returns again to provide expert analysis. Click here to see all the picks. Also, a surprise […]

This week we welcome an 80-year-old Jewish man from Long Island (albeit one with a good Twitter feed) to preview the NBA playoffs. The problem with 80-year-old Jewish men is their technological capabilities are limited, so Mr. Jerome keeps dropping off (and somehow infects Alex with his poor audio). But when he’s around, a spirited […]

This week Akiva and Alex draft players who started their careers looking like stars only to collapse after just a few elite seasons. Or something. They’ll argue about exactly what they’re doing. There’s also a guest appearance by a young comedian, Ella Wienerkur. And a preview to next week’s NBA playoffs preview podcast. This week’s […]
