A Little Extra Squee: Sportsball!

For this special A Little Extra Squee side quest, Rachel and Holly take a break from pop culture to check in on the current state of some local sports teams—because being a nerd and loving sports are absolutely not mutually exclusive. From highs and lows to painfully mediocre seasons, nothing is off the table. They also dive into a newer fandom obsession, Inter Milan football, and tangent into conversations about athletes who don’t know when to retire and why Olympic coverage in the U.S. keeps hiding behind paywalls (looking at you, NBC).
