Summary
We’re just some NFL guys, watching the players run around like miniatures in a Warhammer 40k game. In the first half, Drew revels in his incredible mood because the Vikings are the main characters of this football season and Roth is taking considered interest in how good Aaron Rogers could be as a color commentator. In the second half of the show, Drew and Roth reflect on two historic entities in baseball: Ohtani inventing the 50/50 club and the White Sox slouching towards 121 losses. And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real voicemail questions from real listeners.

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.
