Think The Soup meets The Daily Show for sports. At a time where traditional outlets for sports news and commentary have suffered from decreasing quality and pressure to maintain tired clichés, "Sports Soup" provides viewers with a fresh take on the sports spectrum they care so dearly about. Host Matt Iseman draws on his comedic experience and intellect to present this fast paced, clip driven show that delivers its message deftly with a sharp wit. Premieres OCTOBER 14 AT 10PM/ET.
