Shownotes Transcript

Episode 520 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features a conversation with ESPN's Joe Buck.

The voice of "Monday Night Football" talks about why Major League Baseball calls have become such a big thing with fans, the issues that national broadcasters have to deal with when calling MLB playoff games and why he won't call baseball for ESPN.

Buck also discusses the best play to call in the NFL, what it's like calling a "Monday Night Football" game that's going head-to-head against a World Series game, the beef he has with partner Troy Aikman about being on time vs. being late, the broadcast restrictions on Tom Brady and much more.

Following Buck, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV in New York joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week, they read the Apple Podcast reviews for October, discuss the World Series, a weird NFL betting line and a recent sports TV segment that was a home run.
