Episode 485 of the "SI Media with Jimmy Traina" podcast features an interview with legendary ESPN personality, Bob Ley.
Ley shares memories of NFL reporter Chris Mortensen, who passed away last week, and explains why Mort was so special to so many people.
Ley also weighs in on the state of sports media, whether he feels he got out at the right time when he retired in 2019, ESPN's addition of Pat McAfe and how Stephen A. Smith gets the "Jordan Rules" treatment.
Ley also tells why cutting the cord was one of the first things he did when he retired, how he keeps up to the day-to-day sports news and what he's been doing in retirement. Ley, who is a Mets fan, also finds out during the podcast that the Mets will have a dance team this year, which generated quite a response.
Following Ley, Sal Licata from WFAN and SNY joins Jimmy for the weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week's topics include functioning without football, the NFL combine, muting people on Twitter, A&E's great shows on WWE history, the passing of comedian Richard Lewis and more
