Summary
Episode 572 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features a conversation with CBS's lead NFL play-by-play caller, Jim Nantz.
Nantz talks about his game assignments for the next few weeks and CBS's overall schedule for the 2025 season. In addition, he shares his expectations that CBS's Thanksgiving game between the Chiefs and Cowboys will shatter the record for the most-viewed regular-season game of all time.
Nantz also discusses his 40th anniversary at CBS, how he got his start at the network and the roles that Brent Musburger and Mike Francesa played in the beginning of his career.
With CBS/Paramount acquiring the rights to UFC, could we see Nantz play a role in its coverage? Plus, Nantz opines on the trend of younger people not being interested in play-by-play jobs.
Following Nantz, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV in New York joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week, Jimmy and Sal talk about a HORRIFIC bad betting beat for Sal, Jimmy's problem during the Ravens-Bills game, issues with ESPN's new app, Sunday Ticket on YouTube, Ryan Clark calling out Peter Schrager, Howard Stern coverage, Sal's solo weekend and much more.
