It's the newest edition of the podcast, as hosts T.J. Rives and Mike Gill are back to go over the latest in sports media news, ratings and they have a national pro football broadcasting guest with them, as well. It's all on the "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast!"

The guys go over the "Blowout Saturday" of network games for ESPN/ABC, CBS Sports and NBC with almost all of the action being one-sided games. How did this affect the TV numbers, especially in the ABC primetime game window for Alabama vs. LSU?

It was the opposite for the exciting early NFL games Sunday and that included the Chiefs blocking a field goal on the final play to preserve their 9-0 season beating Denver. And, on the show, we welcome Josh Appel of Sports USA radio , who was on the national call at Arrowhead to recount his call of the game and give us insight into how he broadcasts these games, etc.? It's great back and forth insight from Josh.

The guys finish with some other items like the anticipated Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing match for Netflix on Friday night from Arlington, TX and also, kudos to some student newspaper reporters, again, for beating traditional "legacy" media to an important story with University of Florida hoop coach Todd Golden, who is under investigation for inappropriate behavior towards numerous young women. They have filed a complaint with the University and Golden is still coaching.
