Zitat des Tages von Rich Eisen:
Right before I left ESPN, someone suggested doing a NFL story in the spring. The person was laughed out of the room.
I have some guests who get angry when they don't get to talk about sports and have to talk about the project they are promoting.
Thanks to the proliferation of information being consumed on mobile devices and the Internet, management changed 'SportsCenter' from being a show where highlights and storytelling ruled the day to a show where analysts ruled the day.
As a former stand-up comic from my University of Michigan days, the opportunity to participate in a Friars Club roast was bucket-list stuff.
I just want to have folks be comfortable and just share and have a good conversation. To me, that's kind of a lost art.
We all idolize sports figures, and we see them fall from grace. You just truly never know anybody anymore.
So many people in my business go through W.W.C.D? What Would Costas Do? There are many things that I do on the air that make me think, 'That's not filled with much gravitas right there.' That's part of my style.
We just have fun with our NFL Draft coverage because we understand that it's a long process, and there can be technical glitches that we don't profess to ignore. During our late coverage of the Draft, we sometimes get slap-happy and distort the heads of our analysts.
I am definitely not the first person with a sports program to have a Hollywood star come on, but I don't know of any that does it as a staple of the program, which is something we are trying to do.
Being a huge football fan, the chance to work for the NFL and do a show combining sports and entertainment is truly a dream come true.
The O. J. Simpson trial was the launching-off point for a lot of our pop culture and news culture habits and touchstones.
I'm living the dream, man.
Nothing trumps good conversation.
Someone who's honest about their golf game, I think, is a person who's right in the world.
I realized early on in my life that I couldn't hit the curve or throw the 50-yard post pattern, so talking about it would be my way in.
Wednesday is always a ramp-up day during Super Bowl week. This is the day that players who didn't make the big game always appear or arrive in the Super Bowl city to hawk their wares or promote a sponsor, so that's why NFL Network always holds the bulk of their coverage from Radio Row at the Super Bowl Media Center.
I love 'Game of Thrones' just as much as I love watching the NFL; I think a lot of fans do, too.
There's no greater cause in the world than finding cures for our sickest children. And no one does that better than St. Jude because its families never have to worry about paying the hospital for anything.
People are tuning in for one reason and one reason only: to find out what's happened. That's what took me a very long time at 'SportsCenter' to figure out.
I don't want to find out what celebrity X, who is a Browns fan, thinks of the zone blitz scheme. I don't think that's the sort of thing that I would even ask many people when they come on the show; it's very obtuse, even if they are an expert on football.
I have a competitive streak.
The Tuesday before the Super Bowl is all about the media. Well, to be honest, every day at the Super Bowl is about the media, but Tuesday of Super Bowl week is specifically called Media Day.
Sports is the ultimate escape, the ultimate in reality programming. It's true drama. You really don't know what's going to happen.
It's my job to take the fans sitting at home on their couch and put them in my shoes.
I'd call the play-by-play of the action when me and my friends played street ball.
I try to put myself in the position of the fan and the fan in my position. So to be somebody in the stands and be just like everyone else as opposed to having a press pass around my neck is pretty fun.
