ESPN’s broadcast day from New York is beginning with Mike and Mike on ESPN2/ESPN Radio. As the hype to Super Bowl XLVIII really ramps up, the celebrity A-listers start to seep out of the woodwork and into the ESPN Family of Networks.
New York resident Jerry Seinfeld makes an appearance on Mike and Mike today while fellow comics Marlon Wayans and Chris Tucker head over to First Take to hopefully tonguewhack Skippy Bayless.
Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana talks with ESPN Radio hack Colon Cowherd.
Here’s what will be seen on the various ESPN sets that are placed all over New York City. And time to play “Spot the Mistakes” in the press release.
