AA Podcast #119 - Men in Blazers

We're privileged to be joined on this week's podcast by the biggest winners in our yearly People's Sports Media Awards - Roger Bennett and Michael Davies, better known as the Men in Blazers. The best British export since the Spice Girls have taken American by storm in the last year - first with their work at the World Cup for ESPN and then covering the Premier League for NBC. The duo has seen their popular podcast transform into a multi-platform brand with listeners, viewers, and fans all around the globe. In today's podcast, we chat with Rog and Davo about the following...

- Their chemistry together and what's made their partnership work.
- The importance of their connection to all the GFOPs.
- How EPL rights were central to choosing to join NBC instead of staying with ESPN or moving to Fox.
- The creation of their television show and how they find all the hilarious crap in football to feature.
- Why Mourinho and Van Gaal give them the most material to work with on a regular basis.
- Stevie G's Anfield farewell and the futures of Gerrard and Lampard in MLS.
- MLS vs EPL on American television.
- Which Premier League personalities would make the best crossovers into American sports?
- Looking ahead to the MiB season finale and secret plans for a summer holiday adventure to be chronicled on NBC.
