Episode description

Episode 388 of the "Sports Illustrated Media Podcast" hosted by Jimmy Traina features an interview with Andrew Marchand of the "New York Post."

Marchand and Traina analyze the massive sports media news that Tom Brady has signed a deal with Fox Sports to become its No. 1 NFL analyst when he retires and Marchand reiterates that he stands by his report that Brady's deal is for 10 years and $375 million.  

Did Troy Aikman trigger Fox to start negotiating with Brady? Why did Fox spend so much money for Brady's services? What does this mean for Fox analyst, Greg Olsen? What will Fox do until Brady retires?

Other topics covered with Marchand include Amazon's plan for its "Thursday Night Football" alternate broadcasts and pre and postgame shows, F1's strong ratings, the USFL ratings and much more.

Following the conversation with Marchand, Sal Licata from WFAN and SNY in New York, joins Jimmy for the weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week's topics include the stupidity of baseball's unwritten rules, the success of HBO's "Winning Time," the NFL's Week 2 Monday Night doubleheader and more.
