Michael Roffman on Stephen King's Wide World of Sports

Just Not Sports

From "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" to New Yorker essays about little league, Stephen King has had a compelling, sometimes tortured relationship with sports, and especially baseball. So we call up noted King and horror expert MICHAEL ROFFMAN -- co-founder of Consequence of Sound and co-host of the outstanding Loser's Club and Halloweenies podcasts -- to geek out on the author's connection with sports. We also talk sports' role in horror overall, from Jason's boxing to Freddy's invisible karate. (And Michael breaks down the highs, and horrors, of being a Miami Heat fan.) Then, Gareth and Brad present their own Top 5 King books ... and Gareth defends "The Tommyknockers" somehow.
