<![CDATA[Sports Interrupted]]>Sports Interrupted with NFL Hall of Famer Tim Brown, co-hosted by Dylan Bloyed, is a podcast about what happens when life steps in and changes the game and how we respond when it does.

While rooted in sports, this show goes far beyond the field.

Through honest conversations and practical insights, Sports Interrupted focuses on response, how to adapt, rebuild, lead, and grow when life throws the unexpected your way. From financial literacy and entrepreneurship to purpose, discipline, and belief, this podcast is about building a better game plan for life.

Because interruptions are inevitable.


How you respond is everything.
