Awful Announcing
Howard Mittman is out as CEO of Bleacher Report, with Turner Sports president Lenny Daniels taking over control...
Tesfatsion will continue to do a mix of long and mid-form original series like Untold Stories and The Warzone as well as separate interviews across B/R's channels.
Adam Lefkoe, Matt Miller and Connor Rogers will host Bleacher Report's NFL draft show this year, which will be live on the B/R app and on YouTube.
This is just the latest event B/R has put on, following B/R Gridiron House at Super Bowl LIV and several more events last year.
"We are consumer-facing, while Radio Row is much more media- and talent-led. ...We do want it to be fan-friendly and have fans be able to come and engage with their favorite players and their favorite shows."
"It's also just being able to give them an opportunity to kind of let their guard down and knowing that 'You can keep it a buck on this show. You can speak your truth on this show.'"
Choose your own adventure, soccer-style.
"This is one of those moments where I've actually had to kind of take a step back and realize what's happening."
"We just started to really dive into where the places are where the sports fan was at that might also have some crossover with the gaming community."
B/R Live will be integrated into Bleacher Report, but it won't happen in the near future.
Kilborn also discussed losing a three-point contest to Steve Kerr. "The league did not want me to win. I was like the Sacramento Kings, they didn't want me to win."
"I read about all these other media people that can't say anything because they don't offend the league or they don't want to upset partnerships or they don't want to impact the economic flow of their company and the league. I see it as freeing."
Peter King busted for talking on his cell phone while driving, in the middle of his interview on The Dan Patrick Show.
The NBA side of things feels like a natural fit for Nash, who will continue his TNT and B/R Football work as well.
The tweet was too perfect for this world.
