The pinball threshold, MLS linos & kicking football jokes out of politics

For Our Sins: The Clichés Pod Archive - A podcast by The Athletic

The Athletic's Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker on the Adjudication Panel for the 200th episode of the pod. On the agenda: the official end for football/politics crossover humour, former guest Doc Brown returns with a new twist on his big footballing bugbear, a deep dive into the MLS Assistant Referee of the Year award and some passionate co-commentary from the fabled "defenders' union". Meanwhile, the panel examine the word "effort" for goalscoring attempts and decide the threshold for penalty-area "pinball". Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
