The Hopeless Sports Guy contains written and play-by-play coverage of the NHL, NBA, MLB and college affiliates. On this podcast you'll find the direct transcripts of game action that is found on various audio apps and YouTube. I will often include special guests throughout the season, previews, documentaries and will mention that in the description. If you want more coverage you can follow my YouTube channel (@JohnRyanOtt) which also includes video games and reviews.

"A Trip to the Semis" 2026 FIFA World Cup: Norway vs. England w/Alec Nava (P-B-P) & John Ott (Color) 7-11-26
<p>This ended up being a pretty good contest for the first ever soccer coverage on "Hopeless Sports Guy." Thank you to Alec for taking the lead, and if we end up covering a few more games, I may end up calling part of the game too! This was a good experience. </p>

<p>When it comes to being one win away from the Stanley Cup, you'd expect the effort and intensity to ratchet up a notch. This game was one-sided, but did have an epic conclusion. </p>
