The War Room

“The War Room” is a highly acclaimed, roundtable format, sports talk radio show, dedicated to an unbiased, objective, though highly opinionated examination of the people, places, and things in the world of sports and beyond. Through candor, “TWR” aims to deliver personal perspective of weekly sports stories, with an emphasis on honest, sometimes politically incorrect opinion, brought to you with a ton of thought and lots of laughs. This is the type of social commentary you’re not used to hearing in “mainstream” media. Inside “The War Room”, all aspects of sports will be addressed, from every level of “fanhood” to every level of the games themselves. Join the founders of War Room Sports (“The Starting Five” aka “The Generals”), Devin McMillan, James Williams, Paul Johnson, Aquil Bayyan, and Bradley Anderson every Thursday at 6pm ET to get your sports fix for the week while having lots of fun in the process. “This portion of the revolution will not be televised…but EVERYBODY can listen!”
