| 0:11.2 | I'm your host, Richard Deich, my producer is Patrick Anthony. |
| 0:14.0 | Our guest is someone who will be very familiar to you if you have watched ESPN over, I don't know, almost 10, 15 years. Sarah Spain has been a long |
| 0:25.2 | time on-air host and analyst in the sports space and most notably with ESPN, as I mentioned. |
