The Biggest Takeaway From the 2026–27 NBA Schedule Release (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1. This is the last Traina Thoughts, which we started in 2017. More on that below. Since this is my final piece for Sports Illustrated, I figured it would make sense to do what I’ve done over and over and over and over in this space in recent years: Complain about streaming. This isn’t necessarily a complaint as much as a warning and an observation (with complaining mixed in). The NBA released its 2026–27 schedule yesterday, including the full slate of national broadcasts on NBC/Peacock, ESPN/AB
Observations from CBS’s NFL Media Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1. CBS held its yearly “NFL Media Day” on Tuesday in midtown Manhattan. To say this event was different from years past would be quite an understatement. To be clear, the event itself wasn’t different. The format was the same. Reporters and CBS talent gather in a big room. There’s a lot of chatting, interviews take place, networking is done. But this year’s get-together felt different because the network’s No. 1 NFL analyst wasn’t there. At the very beginning of the event, CBS Sports president D
Is All the Chaos Good for the WNBA’s Bottom Line? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1. The WNBA seems like complete anarchy right now and I have no desire or interest to get into all that’s going on, because I don’t follow the league and because it’s all so ugly. I’m one of these people who just sees headlines and clips on social media. I think you can have valid opinions even if that’s the extent of your consumption, but I’m more interested in how all the hullabaloo impacts interest. So, I’ll just say this: When these are two headlines that I saw this morning about the league,
NBC’s Mike Tomlin Looks Like He’s Going to Be a Television Star (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1. Mike Tomlin seemed like a natural during his debut broadcast with NBC on Thursday. It was clear from the opening that Football Night in America is going to be the Mike Tomlin Show this year, which makes sense. What struck me the most about Tomlin’s first segment was just how fresh he comes off as a television personality. NFL studios shows are a lot of the same old, same old. Tomlin did not come across that way at all. The former Steelers coach came off like someone who has been in broadcasti
Michael Wilbon Strikes a Nerve With Stephen A. Smith Over ‘Journalist’ Status (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1. I had no idea anyone considered Stephen A. Smith a journalist anymore, but Stephen A. Smith certainly considers Stephen A. Smith a journalist. Personally, I think you shift from journalist to host/entertainer/content creator when you spend two hours a day as the anchor of a debate show and a lot of time fighting with various people—including LeBron James—but that’s just me. Pardon the Interruption’s Michael Wilbon appears to feel the same way because he told The Awful Announcing Podcast that
