How does Mike Tirico prepare for hosting the Olympics?
Tirico relies heavily on the Olympic research team, which provides detailed information on every sport and athlete. He also focuses on knowing where to access information quickly and efficiently, as the Olympics are a fast-paced event.
What are Chris Russo's thoughts on the current state of sports talk shows?
Russo believes that sports talk shows have become too focused on personalities and less on actual sports analysis. He feels that the emphasis on "hot takes" and sensationalism has devalued the importance of thoughtful discussion.
What is the future of the commentary team of Shaq, Kenny, and Charles after TNT loses the NBA rights?
