Flip has very few male friends who care deeply about sports. Luckily for him, Grace -- an avid sports fan who loves Formula 1 and football -- now joins him when binge-watching sports shows on
ESPN,
TNT,
NFL Network,
NBC Sports, and
NBA TV because she not only enjoys competition, but finds the humor in the ridiculous things that happen in the world of sports.
In fact, early on in their relationship, they established a daily ritual of eating dinner while watching
Highly Questionable on ESPN2. At it’s core, it’s a show featuring sports writer
Dan LeBatard and his father, along with fellow sports writer
Bomani Jones who brings an acerbic wit to the show. The combination of the three of them creates a hilarious effect as they question people’s actions on video clips...
For example, they question whether this guy gets the most out of his treadmill.
They question whether these riders walked the course -- or even studied it! -- before racing on it.
They question whether you should try to fight a deer...
...or a goat.
They question whether it’s worth it to let your road rage spill over in to a fight with another driver.
And they re-evaluate whether you should be friends with people who laugh when you are hit in your nether regions while playing baseball.
Plus, when they interview prominent sports figures and celebrities, you learn details about them that most puff-pieces would never divulge.
