#TheHowieGames | Very few sports broadcasters are so unbelievably good at what they do that they become synonymous with their sports.

In this chat we cover a whole range of topics from bird watching to sports commentary to Phil's forthright and honest views on Lance Armstrong. ------------- Follow The Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow The Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegamesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
