ESPN's Louis Riddick on being candid about the NFL
Episode 168 of the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast features ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick. In this episode, Riddick addresses what separates a good NFL broadcaster versus an average one; how he has attempted to improve as a broadcaster; his candidness on issues and why too often former players pull punches on the air; how he navigates being a candidate for NFL general manager jobs versus working at ESPN; his thoughts when someone does not report on him accurately; how he approaches discussing social issues or politics on social media; whether he has been approached about possibly replacing Jon Gruden in the Monday Night Football booth and interested in doing that; playing under Nick Saban and Bill Belichick in Cleveland; Saban’s attention to detail and what makes him different than other coaches; how the Browns should approach holding the No. 1 and No. 4 picks in the NFL Draft, and much more.
