Greg Olsen joins Jimmy Traina on the #SIMediaPodcast to discuss his first season as the lead analyst for NFL on FOX. The former Pro Bowl tight end opens up about what it's like having Tom Brady waiting in the wings to take his job, what he said to Brady when he saw him earlier this season, what he'd like to improve about his broadcasts, his relationship with play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and much more. The podcast opens with SI senior writer Jon Wertheim remembering long-time colleague Grant Wahl, who tragically died at 49 while covering the World Cup. Jon and Jimmy discuss Wahl's love of soccer, his rise at SI and the kind of person Grant was. Sal Licata from WFAN radio and SNY TV in New York also joins Jimmy for their weekly "Traina Thoughts" segment. This week, Jimmy and Sal weigh in a couple of fantastic Bill Belichick stories, Twitter's new checkmark system and the stress of holiday tipping.
