Episode description

Episode 353 of the "Sports Illustrated Media Podcast" hosted by Jimmy Traina features two interviews.

First up is Nate Burleson, who is leaving the NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" to co-host "CBS This Morning." Burleson discusses what went into his decision to make the career change, why the move wasn't an automatic "yes" and why the job at CBS News appealed to him. The former NFL wide receiver also talks about the reaction to the NFL playoff game he called on Nickelodeon last year, his favorite "Good Morning Football" memory, the hardest job he's ever and gives us a great Jay Z impersonation.

Following Burleson, writer, author and reporter, James Andrew Miller joins the podcast. Miller shares his insights into ESPN'a alternate "Monday Night Football" telecast with Peyton and Eli Manning, Stephen A. Smith reportedly getting Max Kellerman removed from "First Take," the "Sopranos" prequel movie, the upcoming season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and much more.

The podcast wraps up with the weekly Traina Thoughts segment. This week, Jimmy and Sal Licata from WFAN and SNY discuss whether you can do a sports debate show with someone you don't like, "Hard Knocks," SummerSlam, CM Punk's return to wrestling and more.
