Episode 553 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features a conversation with ESPN legend Chris Berman.
Berman talks about signing a contract extension with ESPN that will keep him with the network until 2029–his 50th year at ESPN, working the Super Bowl on Valentine's Day in 2027 and the "Fastest 3 Minutes In Sports."
Berman also discusses turning 70, the simplicity of "NFL PrimeTime," whether he's still mad that NBC and the NFL killed "PrimeTime," Brent Musburger finally winning the "Pete Rozelle Television and Radio Award," the circus currently surrounding Bill Belichick, recent concerts he's attended and much more.
Following Berman, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV in New York joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week, they discuss the NBA playoffs, NBC hiring Michael Jordan to be a "special contributor," the NFL schedule, Sal's Mother's Day and Jimmy's dad having a remote control disaster.
