Here's The Pitch...

Miscellaneous


ALL PODS ARE UPLAODED FIRST TO YOUTUBE.COM/STWEEKLY Head there to see even more content, video interviews and classic sports conversations. Brad Straubinger interviews with Joe Buck, Bob Costas, Greg Amsinger and Chip Caray. This is the first in a series of compilation interview podcasts where I will take out some of my favorite conversations from the longer form interviews and put them here in a best of, so to speak. Here, Joe Buck talks about the non stop hate he gets from twitter and managing that while trying to win over some fans as well. Bob Costas tells me that it is very difficult to give commentaries on the NFL while being on the NFL Sunday night broadcasts, as it may have become an omen as he left the package soon after-we also cover his "Later" interview show he did from 1988-1994 and some of the great guests of that show, and why that show might be harder to do today. Chip Caray recalls some very funny Shaq stories from his days as an Orlando Magic announcer and then talks about living in the shadows of the big Caray name. And we end it with Greg Amsinger from MLB Network talking about how he rose from Terre Haute weekend sports gut to the top guy on the network and how he did that by going against what bosses were telling him. I enjoyed these stories immensely and I thought maybe folks hadn't listened to some of these all the way through, or maybe have subscribes a little later as I had put these out early on.
