BTR Sports
BTR Sports with Sam, Kory and Kristy is a sports show focusing on more than just the results and Brett Favre. Each week we take an in-depth look at a topic from the world of sport from a broader, cultural angle. This week we discuss the Newtown tragedy and the role that sports can play in these moments, break down what’s wrong with the Jets and what’s happened to Mark Sanchez, as well as talk about what made us fall in love with the sports and teams we continue to love today. To wrap it up, we take a look back at the year that is nearly finished.
