VAR, or Video Assistant Referee, has been a controversial subject since its introduction to world football, and other sports have a version of video replay as well. Why is video replay such a controversial thing? What does it make better? And is there anything video replay makes worse? This week, we discuss:
The US Open has been an amazing tennis tournament, and Chad and John catch up on all the headlines from New York (9:40). In many ways, this tournament has been a passing of the torch, and we look at the players who will carry tennis forward to the next generation.
For the big story this week, we look at video replay (21:48). From the beginning of its implementation, to its effectiveness at getting decisions right, to how fans feel about its use, we look at the topic from every angle.
Finally, we recap and review Episode 3 of The Rings of Power, our favorite of the three episodes so far (48:45). What are we starting to learn about the state of the world at this time in Middle Earth? We also suggest who we think will emerge as the primary protagonist in the story.
