In today's podcast, we get caught up on the free agency frenzy in the NFL with Fox NFL reporter/insider/draft guru/sideline reporter etc. Peter Schrager. Peter joins us from the University of Oregon pro day so we spend a bit of time on Marcus Mariota and his draft prospects before moving into all the major signings and trades of the last week. We also talk with Peter about breaking into the crazy world of NFL insiderdom. Topics include...
- Marcus Mariota's draft prospects and whether or not Chip Kelly channels his inner Mike Ditka.
- Kelly's "plan" in Philadelphia and whether it really does exist.
- How difficult it is to break into the world of NFL insiders and compete with Schefter and Glazer.
- How the reporting trail and player movement differs from the other hats he wears at Fox and why he felt like he needed to break more stories.
- Just how many retweets do you get for breaking the signing of Isa Abdul-Quddus?
- The very real pressure that exists for NFL reporters to break news around the clock, even the singles and doubles.
- What is going on in New Orleans with my Saints?
- Best and worst value signings in free agency.
- A look at the first 18 months of Fox Sports 1. We have a conversation about expectations, growth, challenging ESPN, and of course Mike Francesa.
And Peter also shares with us his vision of a travel/food show going to sports bars across the country. Think of it as a Diners, Drive-ins and Dives for Sports. How could that show fail? Make it happen, Fox Sports 1!
