Episode 489 of "SI Media with Jimmy Traina" features three segments.
First up is author and reporter, Jim Miller, to discuss ESPN parting ways with Senior Vice President, Norby Williamson. Williamson, who was at ESPN for 40 years, has been called out a couple of times by Pat McAfee for being "a rat" and leaking negative stories. Miller explains why ESPN cut ties with Williamson, shares his thoughts on the McAfee-Williamson feud and discusses reaction to Williamson's dismissal.
Miller also talks about the possibility of ESPN buying the NFL Network, the challenges facing ESPN today and more.
Following Miller, Dan Rapaport from Barstool's "Fore Play Podcast" joins the show to talk about the Masters and offer Masters betting advice. Should you bet on Tiger Woods making the cut? Who would make a good long-shot bet to win the tournament? What prop should you bet on Saturday and Sunday of the tournament? Is there any risk in betting Scottie Scheffler to finish in the top five?
Following Rapaport, Sal Licata from WFAN and SNY joins Jimmy for the weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week's topics include a recap of WrestleMania 40, the Yankees' hot start, Sal's issues with his new house and more
