Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gilberto Manzano: NFL Senior Staff Writer
Q: When that day comes, what do you hope people say you contributed to sports journalism?
He hopes people remember his commitment to inclusivity and representation, building platforms like Compas on the Beat to give Latinos and others a voice, and staying authentic while pushing for fair, journalistically solid storytelling.
Gilberto Manzano: NFL Senior Staff Writer
Q: Was there ever a moment when you felt you belonged and earned the right to run with the top dogs of the NFL beat?
He recalls covering the Super Bowl in Las Vegas as a pivotal moment, realizing he had reached a level where he could be paid to do what he loves, and the importance of staying grounded, grateful, and consistently delivering good work.
Gilberto Manzano: NFL Senior Staff Writer
Q: Give us a little bit about that origin story before we talk about your career.
Gilberto explains growing up as a first-generation Mexican American in Pasadena, his early fascination with sports, the role his mother played as a single parent, and how reading and storytelling through sports journalism shaped his path. He emphasizes discipline, learning from editors, and the value of starting early in college newspapers.
Elwyn Lopez
Q: What don't people see when the red light comes on and you're delivering the news?
There's a lot of internal and external chaos behind the scenes, from sleep deprivation to last-minute logistical issues, and often a camera isn't appropriate in the most painful moments; the best work comes from staying calm and accurate for viewers.
Elwyn Lopez
Q: Was journalism something you knew you wanted to do, or was there a moment you realized this was your path?
I realized it in college when a story about a suicide case showed me how journalism could help people; I understood that you don't need to be a nurse to help others, you can inform and support communities through reporting.
