t’s a Boston and Chicago feel to this week’s Sports Media Weekly.
Ken Fang of Fang’s Bites and I are joined this week by Paul Banks ofChicago Sports Media Watch and The Sports Bank.net.
We begin the show by looking back at the events this week where an Atlanta sports talk morning show crossed the line in producing a skit featuring former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason, who is suffering from ALS. The trio were fired as a result of their poor judgement.
We move to the NBA Finals as we all give our thoughts of the coverage thus far on the part of ESPN and ABC. We also delve into the chess match that has been playing out each game between sideline reporter Doris Burke and Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.
We then move to NFL news; namely the announcement that the Cincinnati Bengals will once again be spotlighted on HBO’s Hard Knocks and the news that former NFL executive Scott Pioli will be joining the cast of NBC’s Football Night in America.
We wrap the show looking at the NHL Stanley Cup Finals; the viewership success for NBC and the NBC Sports Network as well as the local media reaction in both Chicago and Boston to the success of the Blackhawks and Bruins.
