  • #48 Sleep Deprivation - You Has It
    Jul 29 2024

    What is the value of a human being in the workplace? That's the debate that the Dolphins had with Tua Tagovailoa until Friday when they finally signed him. Since I recorded this podcast three hours before that happened I made a stunning prediction about the outcome. Also Sean McVay is a new age type of NFL coach that thinks sleep is important, which pushes out the old guard of sleep deprived tough guy coaches. Is he right? I go into sleep statistics and why he might just be on to something. Plus your Mental Health Tip of the Day is just too obvious.

  • #47 Recent Bias & Your Most Emotional Sports Moment
    Jul 15 2024

    What's the moment that's made you the most emotional in sports? I start the show by exploring what did that to me and it happened recently. Following along this theme I then talk about recency bias research because there's been a lot of discussion about how if the Florida Panthers blew a 3-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals it would have been the worst loss in sports history. But this forgets some of the other worst losses that have come before it. I drop my Top 5 worst sports losses in history. You shouldn't be surprised. Then it's your Mental Health Tip of the Day. #MHToD
