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 return of the NFL referees and what the season may look like from here on out, talk about how and when kids should specialize in one sport as well as how children’s creativity is often sapped as they get older.
