From the shoes we wear on our feet to the high definition televisions in our living room, wearable devices, the sports universe is a breeding ground for technology. Writer and Photographer Rick Limpert will examine this each week on The Tech of Sports – With guests which include athletes, inventors and journalists that cover the intersection of sports and technology.
Sports is serious business and so is technology, so when I can have someone on to make a little light of the world we live in, I love it. We will do that with Robby McGhee, talk about his comedy, talk some sports and have a bunch of laughs tonight with a secret guest Front Row Amy.
Athletes and musicians have more in common than people realize. Both are performers and have to be at their best each and every time they get up in front of a crowd. Don Miggs, the lead singer of the band Miggs agrees with this, and has a love of sports and technology. He joins me this week as he and his group are in the middle of a U.S. tour and he has some fascinating things to say.
Tennis is more than just tournaments like the U.S. Open and Wimbledon.

They say everybody should write a book, well my guest tonight has written more than one and he’s having a good time doing it. He’s James Ross and he writes fictional golf books with the setting being the Prairie Woods Golf Course just outside of St. Louis. From Lifetime Loser to Finish Line and on to Tuey’s Course. Then Opur’s Blade and his most recent release, Pabby’s Score in 2012, Ross puts into words the goings on that we all see at golf courses around America, with a bunch of twists.

We all love to watch the action as it takes place of the field of play. Joining winning and losing as a part of the game are injuries. Whether you like them or not, injuries in sports happen every day and every week at all levels and in every sport. Some more serious than others. We discuss injuries and more with Dr. David Geier.
