Description

The podcast title is referencing Final Fantasy, so you know that Defector’s own Dan McQuade is joining Drew and Roth. They’re talking about how bad the Eagles are, how bad Jalen Hurts is, and which PS1 games fit which NFL teams. In the second half, they wonder if any team would take Draymond Green, and by team they mean wrestling organization. And as always, we get some voicemail Funbag questions.This is our last episode of the year, so see you in 2024!Stuff We Talked About- Read Dan's Eagles and local commercial coverage on Defector- There really is a Stephen King short story about eating someone’s lawnDo you want to hear your question answered on the pod?

Every week, Drew and Roth tackle subjects, both serious and impossibly stupid, with a parade of guests from around the world of sports and media joining in the fun! Roth and Drew also field Funbag questions from Defector readers, answer listener voicemails, and get upset about the number of people who use speakerphone while in a public bathroom stall. This is a show where everything matters, because everyone could use a Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.

From Defector. Former Deadspin writers Drew Magary and David Roth should really stick to sports. Sure, their new indie sports podcast will break down the week in sports: the Mets grounding into quadruple plays, NBA players getting testy on the court and horny on Instagram, Bill Belichick cutting 80% of his roster just to keep himself interested, horrifying takes from sports talk radio that need to be broken down, etc. But these two men and their guests will have their fair share of off-the-field issues they’ll also have to address: stupid Funbag questions, bad tweets from bad people, pointless food arguments, and even less. Every week is a VERY long week these days. We could all use a little Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
