Sports, But Make It English: The Terms Everyone Pretends To Know
Ever nodded along during a sports conversation hoping no one asks a follow-up question? This episode is for you. On this episode of Last Night’s Game, Amy and Scott break down the sports terms you hear all the time, like NIL (Name, Image, Likeness), the transfer portal, salary cap, tanking, wild card, and load management- and translate them into plain English you can actually use. This isn’t about memorizing stats or sounding like a superfan. It’s about knowing just enough to jump into the conversation, ask a smart question, and feel confident talking sports without overthinking it. We’ll also tell you what you don’t need to know, so you can skip the jargon and focus on the moment. If you want to sound sporty without trying, and finally understand what everyone else seems to know already, this episode has you covered.
