Summary
Episode 578 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features a conversation with Fox's Greg Olsen.
The NFL analyst talks about what it's like to work with a different partner for a few weeks during the season, what he tries to do differently than other analysts and whether a full-time International schedule would appeal to him as a way to get a lead analyst job.
In addition, Olsen explains why he doesn't want the Tush Push banned, why he thinks we're going to see fewer and few field-goal attempts in the NFL, whether coaches have adjusted to the new NFL where comebacks are so easy to pull off and much more.
Following Olsen, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV in New York joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week, they discuss New York football controversies, the World Series, the return of the NBA on NBC, Jimmy's favorite bet, Netflix's dropping a trailer for a new Eddie Murphy documentary and more
