I subscribe/listen to a lot of podcasts but this is the one I listen to every week when it comes out. I look forward to seeing who the guest is and the segment with Sal has me laughing out loud often. The guests are great and I feel like I learn something new every week from whoever Jimmy is talking to. The Traina thoughts segment is next level. It often feels like I am listening to Larry and Jerry bantering with each other. Jimmy’s takes are spot on and Jimmy and Sal’s situations with their fam... more
Jimmy I was happy to hear you complement ESPN for adding Rece Davis and Andy Roddick to their Wimbledon coverage. They were both excellent and really raised the level of ESPN’s coverage. I really liked James Blake as a color analyst for matches as well.
The Rich Eisen episode was excellent. I had been listening to the This Was Sportscenter episodes so it was interesting to here Rich’s origin story for the podcast.
If you had done your show on Wednesday you could have mentioned 27 Ks of the 54 outs in the all star game. What a yawn fest. Glad I missed it.
You’re on a roll Jimmy with your guests. Thanks for the splendid interview with Rich Eisen. Your talk with Rich made me want to see what, Rich’s podcast, This Was Sports Center, was all about. I usually only listen to podcasts, but after Rich said to watch this one, I’m watching and it’s worth it.
One of the most enjoyable shows ever. You are so happy as was Sal. You have to have Breen tell Mad dog about the travel. Congrats on Knicks.
