About this Event
Sports fan and SportsMAN Brendan Scannell hosts this vitally important show breaking down all the most pressing news and hot freakin' goss in the wide world of sports and pop culture with the help of Announcer/Referee Sam Fishell. For too long, the world of sports punditry has been dominated by old men in Brooks Brothers suits, so-called experts who are consistently wrong with their predictions, and "former professional athletes" (We're looking at you Tony Romo!). But finally, to quote West Side Story, "there's a place for us." Sporting: A Comedy Show for Those Who Sport And Not! Featuring three hilarious comedian pundits, in-house dance team The Sportin' Girls, an expensive rented T-shirt cannon, AND MORE! This show is sure to be a slam dunk for sports fans and non-sports fans (aka nerds) alike!
