THIS WEEK IN SPORTS: DEC 26TH THRU JAN 1ST

The last week of the year is full of sports gifts. We are gifted a ton of Bowl games and NFL matchups filled with playoff intrigue. The college basketball, NHL and NBA realms move through loaded schedules as we approach 2023, oh and European soccer is back! The best advice I can give is stocked up on supplies, get your tv remote fresh batteries and charge your cell phone because a Sports smorgasbord is on the way.

If you’re looking for a great podcast, tune into and subscribe to The Irrational Confidence Podcast (@IRConfidencePod on Twitter). We release 2 college football episodes a week during the season and throw in NFL and college basketball episodes in between. We currently have 2 exclusive interview episodes available and a 3rd about to drop. The interviews available now are with former NFL Assistant Coach Paul McCord and EA Sports Writer and Designer Christopher Davis. The next interview about to drop is with Ohio State Football legend Cie Grant. You can find our podcast on every platform as well as the Spinnable Sports YouTube Channel. We are officially a Podcast Divided now that Georgia and Ohio State are slated to meet in the College Football Playoff.
