Derek Futterman

And that is the voice of NFL Red Zone host Scott Hanson, who last week celebrated the 300th edition of the NFL Red Zone that he has hosted since 2009.

And this is the Sports Media Watch podcast hosted by me, John Lewis, and Armand Broady and produced by Derek Futterman.

Scott Hanson is our guest this week.

But before we get to that, we have the news of the week in sports media, which is that J.J. Watt has been named the permanent lead NFL analyst for CBS.

This is our usual weekend roundtable, and we have three of the regulars back.

People have given phenomenal response, particularly when this group is on, and there is a lot that has happened this week, so I'm very excited to have John Lewis, founder and editor of Sports Media Watch, Derek Futterman.

Also part of Sports Media Watch, obviously does a lot of writing for them, produces their podcast, is the designated person when there's fancy conferences.

He heads out there and swans with all the millionaire sports media types.

All right.

Please stay with me, fellas.

As always, my thanks to Derek Futterman, Armand Broady.

and John Lewis for their time and insight.

And that is the voice of ESPN NFL analyst, or at least for now, ESPN NFL analyst Troy Aikman, who on Dallas' 96.7 The Ticket Thursday gave his clearest indication yet that he will be leaving ESPN at the end of their Super Bowl season.

And this is the Sports Media Watch podcast hosted by me, John Lewis, and Irvon Brody and produced by Derek Futterman.

Obviously, the main topic of conversation on this podcast is going to be the Troy Aikman situation at ESPN, which has boiled over just in the past couple of days.

And there's a lot of other stuff to talk about, too, but that's going to be the main focus today.

You don't often expect the Brits to be good NFL broadcasters, but this dude is.

Had John Lewis and his group from Sports Media Watch, Armand Brody and Derek Futterman before that.

We talked about Stephen A. Smith's comments and then apology on Lane Johnson.

Peter King was on this.

Couldn't happen.

And that is the familiar voice of longtime ESPN, NHL, and SportsCenter anchor Steve Levy, who is the guest on the new edition of the Sports Media Watch podcast, hosted by me, John Lewis, and Armand Broady, and produced by Derek Futterman.

All right, as we close up shop, I want to, of course, thank James Jackson for all his work on this podcast.

Well, the Tony Romo era at CBS is over, and of course, that is the major topic of conversation on this episode of the Sports Media Watch podcast, hosted by me, John Lewis, and Armand Broady, and produced by Derek Futterman.

Today, of course, Romo all the time.

Nothing but Romo, although we do have some other topics to hit as well.

It's Friday, October 2nd, and CBS were actually taping Around one o'clock Eastern.

So CBS, a couple of hours ago, when we're taping, put out this statement officially announcing that it is parting ways with Tony Romo after nine years.

I promised Armand and Derek that I would say what I was doing when I found out about this announcement.

I was actually watching Brewster's Millions, believe it or not.

You know, I was just trying to unwind a little bit.
