Mulvoy’s stories are remarkable: covering Soviet hockey teams behind the Iron Curtain, leading Sports Illustrated to back-to-back National Magazine Awards, and reshaping how America consumed sports. Mark’s impact on Sports Illustrated can’t be understated. As editor, he helped the publication quadruple the magazine’s profits.

In this episode, the two go back and forth candidly as they share memories about Mulvoy’s career and discuss the most pressing questions in sports today, including today’s sports media landscape, NIL deals, and what the future of legacy outlets looks like, and of course some of his infamous golf trips across some of the greatest courses in the world.
