THE CROSSOVER EPISODE XXIII

LOS ANGELES — Sundays at the NFL Network are a beast all their own. The energy and buzz in the building can be felt from studio to newsroom and behind the scenes as one-by-one the games come to a close and the highlite shows go on the air. That feeling has without a doubt carried over this year into the offseason.

That’s why I was excited to finally track down my Sunday partner in crime for the last two NFL campaigns, Justine Brown, and have her on The Crossover to talk about one of the wildest weeks the NFL offseason has seen in quite some time, possibly ever. And she KILLS IT. (click the above arrow or here to listen)

From Peyton Manning finally deciding the location he wants to finish his career - Denver?! - to penalties levied against the Saints for their Bounty Program of the last few years to yes, wait for it, Tim Tebow being traded to the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets! What could happen next is anybody’s guess and we break all that down.

Of course, Justine is a huge hoopster, so we analyze the NCAA Men’s Tournament as we hit Sweet 16 weekend, talk about the upcoming Syracuse/Wisconsin matchup and if we really think Kendall Marshall’s injury is going to derail North Carolina.

We finish up the show with a little NBA talk as we near the end of the shortened season, re-live Linsanity and wonder if Dwight Howard can really be The Man in Orlando or another franchise. To close the show, we look back on how the both us, two small-town kids, came to land in Los Angeles and find our own niche and enjoy ourselves is this crazy place.

As always, check me out on Twitter (@chris_brockman), thanks for listening, and spread the word!

THE CROSSOVER - EPISODE XXII

LOS ANGELES — Six months is a long time for a vacation. My roommate has been known to take six weeks off between jobs, but six months, that’s just irresponsible when it comes to being the host and publisher of a podcast such as this. So please, accept my apologies and know that I’ll never take a hiatus like that again. (click above arrow to listen .. or here)

In my return episode, Parker Deay (@ParkerDeay) stops by to finally gloat about winning his 2nd Retired Orangemen Fantasy Football League championship - he beat me in the finals. We discus the season that was in the ROFFL this past year, hit on how we thought the NFL season ended and how much we’re looking forward to what is surely to be a wild offseason; from what will happen to Peyton Manning and what to make of Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III.

Our conversation skills are not just limited to the pigskin, as we talk about the upcoming MLB season (get ready for a shocker: he likes the Phillies to win it all), if Tiger Woods can regain his mojo has another PGA Tour season begins, Syracuse basketball, the Los Angeles hoops scene and even Twitter. Yes, Parker Deay has joined the Twitter Revolution.

It’s an outstanding conversation, so hopefully you all enjoy listening as much as I had doing it. Thanks again, and as always, spread the word!

SO THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY

LOS ANGELES — February 23, 2012 will go down as one of the more interesting days I’ve had in a while. It started with a 3:30am News shift here at NFL Network and me innocently responding to a Tweet from Darren Rovell saying something about Spike Lee. Well that turned into the renowned film maker and New York Knicks fan responding by calling me a “F*ckin Moron.” All of that was proceeded by me rolling down to Hollywood and Highland to pick up my press credential for the 84th Academy Awards this Sunday, and then ended with the good folks at JerseyChaser.com blowing me up with a posting about the Spike beef. So, yeah, all in all, it’s been less than a dull week.

Oh, right, did I mention I’ll be on the Red Carpet at the Oscars this Sunday with Super Bowl MVP and Dancing With The Stars champion Hines Ward interviewing the biggest celebs in the film industry for The Rich Eisen Podcast? No? Well be sure to check that out coming next Thursday at 5pmET on NFL Network. And if you happen to watch E! or some other red carpet show this weekend, be on the look out for two HANDSOME bald men in tuxedos straight taking over. Rest assured I’ll be live-Tweeting all the action (@chris_brockman) so stop in and enjoy the ride.

BEHIND THE SCENES

A lot of people ask me what goes into turning a podcast into a television show. So, for those curious, and thanks to the folks at Vidify, here’s a behind the scenes look on a typical day of taping for The Rich Eisen Podcast. Enjoy!

And check out this week’s episode on NFL Network this Thursday at 4:30pm ET featuring Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff, coach of Manassas High in the Oscar-nominated documentary “Undefeated” Bill Courtney, draft guru Charles Davis and former Saints coach and Oscar buff Jim Mora. Thanks for watching and spread the word.
