Olympics Conclude To Massive Audience + NFL Writer/Hall of Fame Voter Jason Cole | LWOS Media Podcast

Last Word On Sports Media Podcast

The Olympics have concluded in Paris with the USA having smashing results in the events and NBC cleaning up with humongus audience both live and live to tape. We go over the thrilling moments from women's soccer to the basketball successes and all taking the gold medals. And, we have an insightful guest to talk NFL, youth sports parents out of control and more on the newest "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast!"
Host T.J. Rives is back to give his takes on a big reason he believes that the women's soccer team struck Gold this year just 12 months after being a disaster in the '23 Women's World Cup. And, the hint is - addition by subtraction. He also talks the dramtic U.S. Men's Olympic Gold win led by Steph Curry and where T.J. saw it all?
Then, Jason Cole, national football writer for the 33rdTeam.com and a longtime Pro Football Hall of Fame voter. joins the show to talk the induction of players like Andre Johnson, Julius Peppers, Devin Hester and the ailing former Bears great from the 80's Steve McMichael, who is dying from ALS disease, but had his Hall of Fame teammates with him at his bedside in his home last Saturday.
The guys also discuss overbearing parents ruiniing youth sports and Jason's book illuminating the insantiy at the "kid-level." And, then, there's some spirited debate about the greatness (or in Jason's misguided mind- overrated) status of the 80's rock band "Huey Lewis and the News."
