In this week's AA Podcast we welcome one of the pioneers of people with sports blogs taping podcasts – Dan Levy! Dan is the current National Lead Writer at Bleacher Report and had one of the blogosphere's most successful podcasts at On the DL. He was on our panel for our Sports TV Awards so we chat with Dan about fake awards and actual real sports topics including…
-The disconnect between the sports media establishment and sports fandom.
-ESPN being dissed by the award giving establishment and the network's depth chart.
-Which personalities deserve more recognition at ESPN.
-NBA and NHL Playoff coverage, especially Derrick Rose's injury drama and how the media has handled the story.
-Ian Darke's impact on soccer in the states.
-Why Dan thinks Gus Johnson is "ruining soccer coverage in America"
-Is Fox Sports One the "next" or "best" challenger to ESPN to emerge.
-Why he feared being featured on The Daily Show.
-The continued evolution of Bleacher Report
