0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. |
0:06.0 | Hey everybody, this is Richard Deich and welcome to the sports media podcast. My producers are Terrence Malgoin and Joe Inglebreck. Today we have two guests. First up is James Andrew Miller. He has been a guest on this podcast many times. Jim Miller is a best-selling |
0:22.6 | author, and for this podcast specifically, the best-selling author of the oral history of ESPN. |
0:29.1 | Jim Trotter, the fine and well-respected NFL writer now works for NFL Media, previously worked |
0:36.5 | at ESPN and Sports Illustrated. |
0:39.3 | And we will be discussing and we will be focused on what is going on in ESPN right now |
0:44.0 | regarding Dan Lebertart's comments about Donald Trump as well as ESPN. |
0:51.1 | And specific to Lebertar's comments about ESPN not having the stomach for the fight |

1:40.6 | Lebertard made. |
1:41.6 | I think you're going to enjoy this podcast. |
1:45.7 | And we tried to be sort of as honest as we can. I'm sure some of you will not. But those of you keep an open mind, |
1:51.6 | I think it's going to be interesting for you. So Jim Miller first and then Jim Trotter second. |
1:56.3 | Coming up on the sports media podcast. |
2:01.8 | All right, Jim Miller has been a guest on this podcast many, many times. |
2:06.3 | He is, of course, a multiple times, New York Times bestselling author. |
