Great! Glad I listened. First time with Pablo Torre. Everyone needs to learn about Jerce Reyes Barrios to help him.

I am so thankful that The Contrarian introduced me to Pablo Torre. He’s a treasure in the eyes of this lifelong sports fan.

Pablo Torre is a frequent guest -- and provides excellent commentary and insight -- on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe'

He speaks about much more than sport.

He graduated from Harvard, magna cum laude, winning the Albert M. Fulton Prize for best thesis in the field of sociology.

I enjoy watching him on Morning Joe. Or listening when I am driving to my local park for a run, the road to the park is not safe to run on.

I want to thank you so much for this interview. His is one of the names on my protest signs related to due process. I remember when I first heard about what happened to him, and since then I haven't been able to find anything. I know Abrego Garcia is the vanguard, if that's the right word, and I'm sure many of us are hoping that, if he can be brought back, the others will also be brought back. Thank you so much for what you are doing, Pablo!

First time listener. A question for Mr. Torre-how are Trump’s attacks on international students impacting college sports? So many college athletes are from other countries. Are they willing to come here and risk being jailed and have their thoughts scrutinized by this administration?

I can’t think of another sports reporter who graduated from Harvard who chooses to use his voice for advocacy. May more sports reporters do the same.

Forget Tommy Tuberville he’s an idiot! He can’t run for governor he’s not a resident of Alabama. He’s Florida’s 3rd senator.

Now Nick Saban is another story. He is a West Virginia turned Alabama Democrat and best buds with Joe Manchin. Saban would get the nod for Alabama governor hands down and possibly president. Saban has a healthy disregard for the media unlike the orange felon. He’s very pragmatic, astute and sort of Joe Biden like. Nick Saban’s rat poison is analogous to Joe Biden’s malarkey. Saban has a business degree and has operated a small business. You won’t get the bullshit from Saban like you do the orange felon cause Saban is as authentic as they get.
