Not too long ago, we had an idea of a way we could get through sports games on the SNES. That idea was just to do them all in chunks to help get them over with faster. Unfortunately, we don’t really think we nailed it with that one. So we close the book on “Sports Desk” episodes with all the 1993 football games.

Going forward, sports games will just go back into the regular chronology and we will reserve the right to put any sports game we don’t find interesting enough to talk about into the “unranked” pile. I wish we really could rank every single game, but doing it this way is just going to make covering sports games a chore that won’t be fun for us to do or for you to listen to. So enjoy this final (and short) sports desk and find out which of the seven football games that came out in 93 Link and Emmy found noteworthy enough to add to the list.
