Manage episode 374884277 series 3417343
As the days get a bit shorter and the end of summer approaches, the guys at TDIS are here to provide a little more light in your day. Today's episode features fascinating stories about all-time greats like Martina Navratilova, Kevin Durant, Rollie Fingers, Luc Robitaille and Tiger Woods. We'll also dig a little deeper for nuggets about Chile's first Olympic Gold medals, Andy North, The Philadelphia Quakers, Al Rosen and the late, great Burt Reynolds. To top it all off, big-time actor Reed Diamond joins the show. An actor who has appeared on plenty of legendary TV shows like The West Wing, Better Call Saul and Homicide:Life on the Street but his best tie to the show is for his performance as Cleveland General Manager Mark Shapiro in the 2011 film "Moneyball". Reed had a fun draft assignment for us - positing four potential biographical films for four sports figures - Reggie Jackson, Martina Navratilova, Ronda Rousey and Scottie Pippen - and he asked us to cast the title role. Find out what ideas we came up with and who's casting eye Reed thought was the best. Watch us on YouTube or wherever you listen to your podcasts and find us on Instagram @thisdayinsports8.
