Troy Aikman, Joe Buck, Jim Nantz and Nielsen CEO David Kenny get referenced in this week’s pod.
Hockey HOFer and ESPN NHL analyst Mark Messier joins as “The Big Get,” and talks about why he shaved his head in the early 1990s and whether ESPN’s hockey analysts would beat Turner’s group of analysts on the ice. Messier also talks about his relationships with the media -- both in Canada and the U.S. -- during his playing career.
