2026/07/17

The WNBA is trying to crack down on excessive physical play. And somehow, everyone is upset about it. So has the WNBA actually changed the rules?

SLICES: Why Sports Fans Hate Change

Scott Sigler Slices ·

2026/07/12

The 2026 World Cup in North America introduced mandatory Hydration Breaks every 20-ish minutes. Fans are big mad that soccer is now “played in quarters,” and the players get a chance to be coached during these mandatory breaks. But …the field of play is much more humid and also hotter than these players (and their fans) are used to, so FIFA stepped in to protect the players. OR DID THEY? Scott and A discuss the current situation. — Slices is created by Scott Sigler and A B Kovacs — Produced

2026/05/12

When the new golf start-up LIV appeared on the scene in 2022, it really upended the very polished and traditional golf world. A smaller course, teams, and even theme music.

Scott Sigler Slices ·

2026/05/10

On this episode, we look at the recent NFL Collusion scandal, where the NFL Players Association filed a grievance, basically saying:“Hey, we think owners are quietly working together to limit guaranteed contracts.” So did NFL owners secretly agree not to pay players?
