Drew and Roth are by themselves today, and they do what they do best. They’re breaking down the shuttering of Sports Illustrated as only two writers who experienced something similar can, and they’re balancing the overcoming and succumbing to tragedy that was the Divisional round of the NFL playoffs. But first, we have very specific stories about traveling to Austria, Barcelona, and Arizona. And as always, let’s dive into the Funbag for real voicemail questions from real listeners.

Do you want to hear your question answered on the pod? Well, give us a call at 909-726-3720. That is 909-PANERA-0!

About The Show

The Distraction 

is Defector's flagship podcast about sports (and movies, and art, and sandwiches, and certain coastal states) from longtime writers Drew Magary and David Roth. Every week, Drew and Roth tackle subjects, both serious and impossibly stupid, with a parade of guests from around the world of sports and media joining in the fun! Roth and Drew also field Funbag questions from Defector readers, answer listener voicemails, and get upset about the number of people who use speakerphone while in a public bathroom stall. This is a show where everything matters, because everyone could use a Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
