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 compare the presidential election and politics in general to the world of sports, discuss some of the dirtiest players and moves in sports, and look at the fine line between a clean and dirty play and player.
