James Brown is the host of CBS Sports’ “The NFL Today” pregame show. His storied broadcasting career has spanned more than 30 years and seen him work on the most prestigious sporting events, including the Super Bowl, NBA Finals and March Madness.
Brown first joined CBS Sports in 1984, when he was part of the network’s broadcast team for its NFL and college basketball coverage, as well as a reporter for the NBA Finals. He also was the host of a CBS afternoon show during the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, and the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.
This year, the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) honored Brown as the recipient of the National Association of Broadcasters’ 2023 Distinguished Service Award (NAB DSA), the organization’s highest honor.
A graduate of Harvard University, Brown in 1973 was a fourth-round draft pick by the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks, and a seventh-round pick by the ABA’s Denver Nuggets. In 1996, Brown was inducted into the Harvard Hall of Fame.
Today on the podcast, we talk to JB about his NBA Draft story, sharing his faith with colleagues, what it means to be obedient to God and finding joy in his job.
