It’s a very busy edition of the show talking: Aaron Rodgers trade, NFL Draft and how the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs are gripping New York, as T.J. Rives returns with guests on the “Last Word on Sports Media” Podcast.
First, hear from Charles Davis of NFL Network on his preparation with colleagues Rich Eisen and Daniel Jeremiah to broadcast Thursday night’s opening round from Kansas City. Charles has been part of the NFL Network’s coverage for 17 seasons and has seen it all. He discusses how his role has evolved to him being on the big desk for the three days of the draft. Also, what’s the biggest misconception about the coverage that we see and just how has this event, not even a game, grown into something so massively popular with fans in the off sesaon?
Next, T.J. brings on Danielle McCartan, weekend host for the legendary WFAN Sportsradio in NYC. She was on the air Sunday for her five hour show recapping the Knicks win over Cleveland in game four of their series, the Islanders hockey loss to Carolina in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the Yankees playing Minnesota- all at the same time. Danielle also relays her methods of prep in hosting and doing interviews with top NY athletes for the station and more.
She also has great perspective and insight on how the Aaron Rodgers’ trade from the Packers to the New York Jets is being received by fans and the always “cut throat” New York media?
Finally, some “Love it or Leave it?” concludes the show, including ratings for the NBA vs. March Madness and the myth of there being so many more fans of pro basketball. And, why did Warner Discovery/Turner decide to announce a new Weeknight show with Charles Barkley coming this fall on a Saturday afternoon pregame show?
