Remember That Guy?
148 episodes - English - Latest episode: 13 days ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingThe show where we mine our memories for nuggets of nostalgia about peripheral players past and present.
Every week, Hosts Diaz and James (along with Very Special Guest Xavier) do what sports fans love to do best: sit around and Remember Some Guys.
But just what is a Guy? To paraphrase Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of [players] I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [...] But I know it when I see it".
Whether it's a perennial postseason over-performer, a hometown hero who only appears that way through rose colored glasses, or just a really great story that has to be shared - Guys of every shape, size, sport, and gender are welcome in the storied halls of our memories.
So sit back, relax, and stop worrying about playoff positioning, draft order, or the dreaded salary cap. Take some time, instead, to Remember That Guy.
