What Happened Between Troy Aikman and ESPN? Plus, a Senator’s Hawk-Sized Airball.

Today on The Press Box, Bryan and David start with sports TV news. They talk about Kirk Herbstreit’s contract extension with Amazon, the upcoming expiration of Troy Aikman’s contract with ESPN, and the fight for no. 1 play-by-play jobs. Then they talk about the news that David Ellison is considering retaining Mark Thompson as the CEO of CNN. After that, they react to the sports mistake that Missouri senator Eric Schmitt made while questioning Jack Smith. The guys are later joined by former Michigan state representative Mari Manoogian, and they discuss a handful of upcoming races, Democrat hopium, and a story about negative political ads and Grantland.
