Is today's athlete actually better than the legends of the past? In this episode of Grasping at Straws, we bring in a special guest to settle one of the biggest debates in sports: Old School vs. New School.

We compare athletes across generations, debate whether sports have actually improved, and ask if legends like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson, and Tiger Woods would dominate in today's game.

We also play some of our favorite podcast games: 🏀 Keep 3, Cut 5 👑 King of the Hill ⛳ Golf Edition 📈 Buy or Sell ⚡ Rapid Fire 🏆 Build Your Franchise

In Episode 2, we debate the greatest dynasties in sports history in our "King of the Hill" bracket, with the legendary Chicago Bulls of the 1990s making a strong case for the top spot. We also take on a "Keep 3, Cut 5" challenge featuring some of the greatest NBA defenders ever, break down who has the edge in the loaded NFC, and discuss whether the transfer portal has ultimately helped or hurt college basketball.

We wrap things up by making our early Heisman Trophy predictions for the upcoming college football season before ending with a fun 20-0 Madden fantasy draft, building ultimate teams using players from different eras and franchises.
