We will discuss that and more on then newest "Last Word On Sports Media Podcast!"Host T.J.

Including has Tony Romo bascially forced CBS to look at replacing him on their top NFL games by seemingly not being prepared and engaged? Should they look to Ian Eagle and J.J. Watt to slide in?Al Michaels renewed at 81 years old by Amazon Prime to continue doing the NFL. They have thoughts on Al's call of the Bears thrilling comeback with the Packers and whether he needs a different partner than Kirk Herbstreit, who is distracted and conflicted with college football every weekend.Also, what about the NFL snubbing CBS and Fox Sports by giving them the Saturday broadcasts this week in Denver and Seattle. Meanwhile, Disney/ESPN gets the Sunday Texans Patriots while NBC gets the highest profile Rams/Bears in Chicago?The guys also debate the Jacksonville media reporter fawning over first year coach Liam Coen in a press conference setting after their loss to the Bills? What's the proper way to do encouragement or thank yous outside of press conferences?And, the CFP reaches it's title game Monday night in Miami. It's a moment for Chris Fowler to redeem off what was some shakiness in his Fiesta Bowl call of Ole Miss vs. Miami. Will America care about the Indiana storyline with Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza and do the Hurricanes still have enough villan in them to make this sizzle for ESPN? And, shouldn't they move quicker to get the CFP Playoffs done before January 19th?All great discussion on the "LWOS Media Podcast" and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.!
