ABSOLUTELY NEGATIVE SWAGGER | EP 256 | ALL SPORTS

<p>Episode Summary</p><p>The All Sports Pod welcomes Sam Goldsmith, a Chicago sports fan who has turned Cubs games into a personal challenge by walking laps around Wrigley Field from first pitch until the Cubs score three runs. Sam talks about the idea, his progress, his Cubs fandom, favorite players, and why Ian Happ brings what he calls “absolutely negative swagger.” That quickly turns into a full debate over Derek Jeter, overrated players, Chicago sports, and the kind of sports arguments that fit right into The Clashing Conferences.</p><p>The conversation then jumps across MLB, NFL, and NBA. The group debates Jacob deGrom versus Jacob Misiorowski, reacts live to Mariners–Yankees, previews the Steelers, Bears, Cardinals, and Broncos, argues CeeDee Lamb versus Michael Irvin, and talks about the rising cost of attending major sporting events. The episode finishes with sponsors and partners before a Clash N Draft centered on favorite cereals.</p><p>SPORTS | FUN | BANTER | COMMUNITY</p><p>This Week We Cover</p><p>• Meeting Sam Goldsmith and his Cubs/Wrigley Field walking challenge</p><p>• Sam’s Cubs fandom, favorite players, and his dislike of Ian Happ</p><p>• Derek Jeter as Sam’s pick for the most overrated player in MLB history</p><p>• Chase Utley, Don Mattingly, and other player debates</p><p>• Jacob deGrom’s 2018 season versus Jacob Misiorowski</p><p>• Live Mariners–Yankees reactions and Seattle’s trident</p><p>• Steelers expectations and why NFL preseason still dominates viewership</p><p>• Carson Beck versus Jacoby Brissett in Arizona</p><p>• CeeDee Lamb versus Michael Irvin and memorable NFL draft classes</p><p>• Caleb Williams, the Bears offense, and Chicago’s defense</p><p>• Sam’s high expectations for Bo Nix and the Broncos</p><p>• NBA scheduling, ticket prices, and the cost of attending games</p><p>• Clash N Draft: favorite cereals</p><p>COME BE 🫵 WITH US!</p><p>The Clashing Conferences is a nationwide sports fan community where everyday fans represent their teams, podcast together, compete, connect with other fans, and build friendships through sports.</p><p>Learn more and become a member:</p><p>https://theclashingconferences.com/</p><p>Support the network:</p><p>https://patreon.com/BEATZNBEARDZ</p><p><br></p><p>Sponsors &amp; Partners</p><p>The Clashing Conferences — Learn more and become a member</p><p>https://theclashingconferences.com/</p><p>Patreon — Support the network</p><p>https://patreon.com/BEATZNBEARDZ</p><p>Sparo Hair Studio — Lancaster, Pennsylvania</p><p>https://sparohair.square.site/</p><p>Jim Montgomery — Network Partner</p><p>Check out Jim Montgomery’s podcasts and content.</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOB14Ij8Xx1z4cJHrf1zyog</p><p>JD Talkin Sports — Network Partner</p><p>Talk all sports with JD, featuring great guests and interviews.</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/@jdtalkinsports</p><p>Lotwyn — Custom 3D Hype Chains</p><p>Use promo code TCCPOD for 10% off.</p><p>https://www.lotwyn.com/</p><p>WPH LAW — Pennsylvania and New Jersey area</p><p>Mention the network to receive 15% off services.</p><p>https://wphlawoffices.com/</p><p>Fan Disclaimer</p><p>The opinions expressed in this episode belong to the individual fans participating and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Clashing Conferences Sports Fan Network.
