Old School vs. New School: Settling the Greatest Sports Debates

Is today's athlete actually better than the legends of the past? In this episode of Grasping at Straws, we bring in a special guest to settle one of the biggest debates in sports: Old School vs. New School.

We compare athletes across generations, debate whether sports have actually improved, and ask if legends like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson, and Tiger Woods would dominate in today's game.

We also play some of our favorite podcast games: 🏀 Keep 3, Cut 5 👑 King of the Hill ⛳ Golf Edition 📈 Buy or Sell ⚡ Rapid Fire 🏆 Build Your Franchise
