NFL Network's Ian Rapoport

Episode 575 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features a conversation with the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport talks about the life of an insider and whether the offseason is just as busy as the season, while also describing what his day-to-day schedule is like. In addition, Rapoport explains where we stand on the NFL going to an 18-game schedule and a full-time international schedule, talks about his feelings regarding ESPN buying the NFL Network and the possibility of being colleagues with Adam Schefter and shares the full story of what happened at the NFL Combine when another NFL reporter confronted him and got in his face in a Starbucks. Following Rapoport, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV in New York joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week, Jimmy and Sal discuss the Mets' collapse, the Yankees over-reliance on analytics, a schedule change that Major League Baseball must implement, ESPN's baseball broadcasters, Bad Bunny being announced as the Super Bowl halftime show and more.
