The Sports Reporters - Episode 384 - The Lights Get Brighter in the NBA Playoffs! Remembering the Great Joe Valerio

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.

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.
