Bolt has been out of the limelight for 3 months, though. And Messi has been torching La Liga, so I'd go with him.
Ronaldo is more "famous" though, so probably him

Zbo article a bit long & predictable but good. Big fail not mentioning the DUI in a Rolls while with the Clips tho.

I pretty much listen to all the Grantland podcasts. My favorites are "Guessing the Lines" with Cousin Sal and Jalen Rose report.

Anyways, it is not normally one of my favorites but last weeks "IN the Trenches" with Ephraim Salaam was really good. He talked a lot about painkillers and playing with injuries and a lot of other gruesome stuff that makes me wish I was a professional football player a little less (who am I kidding, I still wish I was).

Also, the interview with Adam Carolla and the Jalen Rose report were very good. Very solid week last week IMO.

I have only been listening to this podcast for a few weeks. Does anyone who has been listening longer know if Salaam has ever addressed PED's? He seems so honest and frank about everything else, it would be interesting to hear how he would spin that conversation.

Yeah, I like the dry English wit a lot, but I don't follow soccer so the content matter doesn't interest me as much.

VP of Common Sense defers to the Picasso of the trade machine (in his own head).

Needs to get off his 'Rams made a horrible trade with the Redskins' stance.

I'm a Rams fan and I would do this trade again today. He's enamored by RG3 and doesn't take anything else into account (a starting cb and potential stud in Jenkins from the 2nd round pick) for one thing.

Rams were one of the shallowest teams last year, now they are in position to be one of the deepest.

Grantland excerpt from the television book regarding Lost was a good clip, some of the pop culture stuff they reference can be good. brought back lots of good memories from s1 of that show, watched the entire series over a month right after s6 finished and while it's not necessarily my favourite show, definitely one of my favourite viewing experiences. first three seasons really were great

Nate says "...right?" every three words or so. Loved the podcast anyway.

Nate is a 2p2 legend and better at what he does than pretty much everyone, especially me. I found the "right?" after every sentence to be too much though for some reason and only made it ~20 minutes into the podcast.

Well judging from the POG segment of the bad posters thread, "Right?" is basically normal.
