About This Podcast
Welcome Everyone! My name is Vincent DePasquale and thank you for visiting and listening to my podcast called A Different Take - Sports Beyond The Numbers. I’m a sports fan for over 40 years and I’ll be offering my unique insights and analysis on my favorite sports - particularly football, baseball and basketball. My take goes beyond the typical news, numbers and statistics and is literally “a different take” on what you’ll regularly see on other shows and platforms out there. Lots of shows focus on the numbers and data-driven analysis. My take goes beyond that - it’s a confluence of not only interpreting numbers and results, but digesting them to make them understandable and usable in the context of being a sports fan! Combined with breaking down and understanding perpetually-breaking sports news, my podcast represents a truly unique perspective on sports - literally A Different Take! I hope you will enjoy my podcast, like, and listen frequently!
