  • Summary

  • Before "PTI" or "First Take" or any of today's popular sports debate programs on TV, there was The Sports Reporters on ESPN. For nearly 30 years, every Sunday morning, top sportswriters exchanged in passionate, intelligent conversation about the major sports issues and personalities today. Now, anchored by Mitch Albom and Mike Lupica - two of The Sports Reporters longest-standing members - the magic of the show is in podcast form, enabling the hosts to continue their highly popular tradition with the benefit of twice-a-week perspectives. In addition to Albom, of the Detroit Free Press, one of the most decorated sportswriters in history, and Lupica, perhaps the country's most recognized and opinionated sports scribe, a third voice will join each program, ranging from former Sports Reporters panelists like Bob Ryan, Bill Rhoden and Christine Brennan, to new and fresh voices in the industry. Join the best conversation in sports every Monday and Thursday.

Only one good contributor

Good topics and respectful sports talk. Lupica's whiny voice as he speaks over others can get a bit annoying to say the least. Albom's takes on black athletes and social issues is borderline disgusting and I usually turn off when these subjects come up. Bob Ryan is a legend in the sports writing world and he brings a lot to the table which is often worth the effort to tune in. He is also the reason I don't give the podcast just one star.
