Summary

Have you ever asked yourself what sports network executives think about when they hire their talent? How absurd is that individuals like Urban Meyer can disgrace a franchise not to mention what transpired in his last two stops at Florida and Ohio St. An individual's past doesn't seem to matter to sports networks. I use Ray Lewis as an example when he was hired at ESPN. I then go over Matt Barne's troubling past and ask how on earth is he coveted by broadcast companies! Have you asked yourself what made Aqib Talib so attractive to Fox Sports and Amazon Prime? The answer to these questions is a troubling one, but I get into it on today's episode!
