After a week away Ken Fang of Fang’s Bites and I co-host a split version of Sports Media Weekly.
I take the reigns at the beginning of the show for our news segment which this week features Matt Yoder of Awful Announcing.
Matt and I preview the upcoming NFL season and the glut of studio programs across multiple sports networks.
We look back at the debut of Olbermann on ESPN2 and how Keith is making a compelling effort to divert viewers from the traditional late-night sports highlight shows.
We move onto the practice of ESPN and others to either fabricate stories to boost viewership, or in the case of Mark May and Skip Bayless, make-up facts about the Notre Dame/Michigan rivalry that do not exist.
Matt and I wrap up the segment looking at the New York sports media’s disdain for Jets coach Rex Ryan and the slow ratings start for Fox Sports 1
Ken takes over the second half of the show by interviewing author James Andrew Miller. The pair discuss the movements at ESPN, including the behind-the-scenes re-acquisition of Olbermann.
