We are jam packed on the newest edition of the “Last Word On Sports Media Podcast” with everything from the NFL off season, including the latest on Aaron Rodgers and the Bears trading the top pick in the NFL Draft to March Madness heating up and beyond!
Host T.J. Rives returns with guest Carmen Vitali of FoxSports.com and their NFL coverage to talk about dealing the #1 overall pick to Carolina. Did the Bears get enough from the Panthers in return? T.J. wonders where will Aaron Rodgers end up, especially since Rodgers has proclaimed he wants to play for the Jets and yet a week later there’s no trade to them?
Also, he and Carmen discuss what was it like for her to cover Super Bowl 57 and the win by the Chiefs over the Eagles, recently. Carmen has great insight on all of those things and the dynamics of her job with one of the top online sports entities in the U.S., if not the world.
Next, T.J. welcomes Big Ten Network hoops analyst Stephen Bardo to the pod. Stephen also just recently worked the NCAA tourney coverage on the radio for Westwood One Sports and saw Alabama and Houston up close from court side. Stephen also discusses what has happened to the Big Ten, as only Michigan State survived the first weekend of the Big Dance? Bardo also relates how calling a game for an analyst on radio is a totally different role than doing it on TV.
Finally, TJ. recaps some of the CBB massive TV numbers for the Madness coverage on both CBS and Turner’s stations. Plus, the World Baseball Classic scored with drama early in the week, as Japan edged the USA for the title.
