    It’s not just a podcaster. It’s Pablo Torre, a respected investigative reporter. Why did you need ESPN to confirm they listened to the podcast that you, for some reason, didn’t trust. It’s Pablo Fucking Torre, not BlazersUprise,

    you're not alone....kingspeed has decided to go nuclear in dumbass nit-picking

    when I made my post it was before the news propagated on social media. And all I said was I wanted to see this confirmed by other sources, since like you, I had never heard of the guy

    I guess the guy is a soccer player. Honestly had never heard of him but that doesn't mean much. I'm not a pod cast guy.

    He's not the soccer player. He's a sportswriter. I know him from Around the Horn and being a sub for both guys on Pardon the Interruption on ESPN. He left ESPN with Dan Le Batard.

    Before he was writing and broadcasting for ESPN he worked at Sports Illustrated but that was over twelve years ago. He got that job with Sports Illustrated right after graduating from Harvard.

    Here's a picture of him, even if your not a podcast guy you might have seen him.

    I guess I'm just not as well educated on sports writers as many others here. I do know a surprise when I get one 41 times a year during the basketball season. Unwrapping that package is always fun.

    Also I had never heard of this guy before this.

    Mainly because most sports podcasts fucking suck and offer nothing of value.
