Episode 566 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features two guests plus the weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment.

First up is Puck's sports correspondent, John Ourand, who shares insight into the blockbuster ESPN-NFL Media deal. Ourand explains why each company wanted to make this deal, what it will mean for the presentation of NFL "RedZone" and the NFL Network and how ESPN's upcoming direct-to-consumer $29.99 app is the focal point of this deal.

Ourand also talks about how the NFL benefits from the deal by getting four games to sell, why those games will likely go to streamers and how this could possibly mean some interesting changes to the NFL schedule.

Following Ourand, SiriusXM's Katie Nolan joins the show to discuss her new podcast, "Casuals," the sad state of getting accurate information these days, coverage of Bill Belichicks's relationship, the trend of sex toys being thrown on the court at WNBA games, her annoyance with the infiltration of gambling talk on sports broadcasts and more.

Following Nolan, Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week, they discuss the issues with the Yankees, ratings for the NFL Hall of Fame Game, betting stories, Brent Musburger, Jimmy's recent root canal and Sal's recent experience with a skunk at his house.s
