Summary
If you were keeping a close eye on everything going on with Quarterfinals, odds are you were looking at Mike Halpin's spreadsheet. He joins Sean, Tommy and Lauren to take closer look at some of the numbers, what those numbers can tell us and why the penalties this time around are stirring up more controversy than past years. Following that, CrossFit Coach Kenny Johnson joins the show to talk about why he thinks this could be a watershed moment for the sport of fitness and what can be done to help make things better.
