1. The biggest story in sports media over the past several weeks has been the emergence of Fox’s Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen, coming off a great call of Super Bowl LVII, and that booth being in jeopardy of breaking up after next season when Tom Brady goes into broadcasting.
While most of the focus of the story centers on Brady replacing Olsen, Burkhardt’s position in the saga is fascinating. He’s worked with Olsen now for a few years, and they’ve established excellent chemistry. But Burkhardt also has the chance to work with the greatest quarterback of all time.
I asked Ian Eagle, another outstanding play-by-play man, on the latest SI Media With Jimmy Traina podcast, for his take on Burkhardt’s part in all this and how Burkhardt can and should handle the situation.
