With a packed slate of great NCAA football action this weekend, what are the factors that make the sport so popular? Is it the video game scoring? The variety of games on TV? And is Clemson truly the top dog on the yard? The Yankees are set to break their own homerun mark... What a tear they have been on despite a plethora of injuries. The race to keep an eye on as we close out August. And is this the end of the NFL preseason as we know it?

The Sports Reporters - Episode 208 - Factors of College Football's popularity. The race to watch in MLB.

Before "PTI" or "First Take" or any of today's popular sports debate programs on TV, there was <em>The Sports Reporters</em> on ESPN. For nearly 30 years, every Sunday morning, top sportswriters exchanged in passionate, intelligent conversation about the major sports issues and personalities today. Now, anchored by Mitch Albom and Mike Lupica - two of The Sports Reporters longest-standing members - the magic of the show is in podcast form, enabling the hosts to continue their highly popular tradition with the benefit of twice-a-week perspectives. In addition to Albom, of the Detroit Free Press, one of the most decorated sportswriters in history, and Lupica, perhaps the country's most recognized and opinionated sports scribe, a third voice will join each program, ranging from former Sports Reporters panelists like Bob Ryan, Bill Rhoden and Christine Brennan, to new and fresh voices in the industry. Join the best conversation in sports every Monday and Thursday.
