On the latest edition of the Sports Media Watch podcast, host T.J. Rives and Jon Lewis are “ready for some football,” talking NFL and college media. The guys discuss the preseason debut of Amazon Prime’s NFL coverage with Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit (and Fred Gaudelli) and what the future holds for them, the outlet and viewership of Thursday Night Football?
Also, there’s conversation about the college football “week zero” games including the upset by Northwestern over Nebraska in Dublin, Ireland, that debuted the season for Fox Sports with a solid opening Saturday afternoon audience.
Then, T.J. and Jon talk Serena Williams playing her final U.S. Open in New York, the Monday night tribute to her hall of fame career and more. Plus, the debate on whether she’s the greatest of all time or is it the 80s/90s dominant star Martina Navaratilova?
Finally, the guys are joined by special guest Bret Behrens, sports director of WCIA-CBS in Champaign-Urbana, IL. Bret has an amazing story of a near death experience as a teenager that changed his life forever. He’s overcome it and is now a highly successful smaller market TV personality. Bret shares all about both in a great conversation.
T.J. and Jon finish with another fun edition of “Love it or Leave it?” to conclude the show on topics like the Little League World Series, the WNBA Playoffs and more.
