“Watching Sports Through a Jewish Lens” – Mitch Nelles

Mitch Nelles, on-air host with iHeartMedia, often grapples with the hypocrisy of today’s sports landscape. The me-first attitude of many athletes, coupled with the team-first premise that leads to victory, is forefront in almost every sports narrative these days.

Taken from a culturally Jewish perspective, Mitch looks at a few current examples, mixed with stories from Wisconsin athletes, and speaks about sports in general as well. Mitch is currently heard as part of The Crossover – on the iHeartRadio App – and hosts his own podcast, called “It’s ALL Thunder!”, also on the iHeartRadio App

Lunch: Vegetarian Minestrone, Artisan Rolls and Butter, Grilled Whitefish with Lemon Caper Picatta,

Toasted Orzo and Roasted Vegetables, or Portabella Mushroom Fettuccine (with Peppers, Onions and Tomatoes, Topped with Roasted Red Pepper). Dessert: Turtle Sundae
