The Infinite Monkeys Podcast is an alternative view on sports and sports analysis. Rather than addressing current or of-the-moment issues, I take on sports analysis in the abstract, macro sense. By drawing on well-established concepts of mathematics, philosophy and even economics, we can broaden our view of sports analysis and cancel out noise.
