Get your cleats on for another Sports episode as Brent and Rob re-visit the topic and pitch some awesome, raunchy, and “uplifting” tracks from the 8-bit and 16-bit era. You’re definitely gonna hit an ace with this one! Also, if you missed it the first time, check out Episode 14 for more great sports video game tunes! NOTE: Rob’s shirt says “LIFE OF AGONY,” in case anyone thinks his shirt is saying something else. It was just a weird angle when the picture was taken. Full track listing below.
