"I'm not trying to sales pitch them an opinion. Their opinion is theirs, and if I do my job right, they'd agree with me — but I'm not going to try to make that an entry barrier."

"Hosting a premiere show on ESPN of course was a goal of mine. But did I think that First Take would come available, and I’d be first in line? I didn’t know anything. It just sort of worked out that way."

"We're building an early riser community here. It starts with the show — but that's where it starts. That's the launchpad for a bigger ecosystem that we intend to leverage and support."

"You need to keep that in mind with the type of content you’re creating. There’s a life cycle on it. If I’m going to put something on YouTube that might get suggested as a recommended video months from now. I want the viewer to click on that and not be disappointed."

"ESPN, regardless of the rights we have, we’re still the best. We still do this better than anyone else, with the best people."

"We have a much more intentional mission: to be the most effective, highly trained marketing team in the local markets we serve."
