The Rich Eisen Podcast

Unbelievably, after a four-year run, this is the last-ever incarnation of "The Rich Eisen Podcast." Frequently, in this business, shows like this don't end at the host's request or behest. Usually, shows named after the host come to an abrupt close when the host is shown the door by security while holding office belongings in a cardboard box. Thankfully, the reason why I'm shuttering this podcast after four wonderful years is because it's turning into a daily three-hour TV show airing on DirecTV's Audience Channel No. 239 and streaming live on the latest venture brought to you by NFL Media, the NFL Now app. NFL Now is also the home to the video archive of the show, which will also be available in audio podcast form on Podcast One as well as iTunes and virtually every other place you've been able to download this program over its lifespan. Best of all for our listeners, NFL Now is internationally available too. It's truly exciting news for your humble host and my podcast compadres Chris Law and Chris Brockman, who are traveling with the show's move to a bigger and broader platform. I started this podcast at the outset of the 2010 season because I thought there was a space in which to connect with the NFL Network fan base and have a conversation about the NFL and the entertainment world in one sitting. And I was rewarded with four years of stupendous football chatter involving fascinating figures from the gridiron and guests from across the TV, movie and music spectrum. Best yet, it did in fact get me closer to myriad football fans worldwide. I can not thank you enough for your passionate listenership. Please follow the show with us into the new horizon. We could not have done it without you. Thanks again and, as always, enjoy this listen.

This week the #REP strays a bit from its pigskin coverage to bring a first-hand account of a story that gripped the nation, nay the world last week.

Up next, Fox Soccer VP of Programming Jason “The Worm” Wormser returns to the show after a long hiatus.

Teddy Bridgewater, Jerry Ferrara and The Sklar Bros... A little more than two weeks removed from being selected 32nd overall by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2014 NFL Draft, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater dials into “The Rich Eisen Podcast.” The three-year standout Louisville Cardinal talks with Eisen about the draft process, getting acclimated to life as a pro early on, if he expects to be the starter Week 1and more. Actor and friend of the program Jerry Ferrara then swings by our NFL Media studios to talk about his Giants draft class and a sneaky undrafted free agent signing of the G-Men that he’s pretty stoked about. Ferrara just wrapped up shooting the highly anticipated “Entourage” movie and the film’s set was no stranger to some big-name NFL players who have cameos in the flick, which hits theatres in the summer of 2015. Ferrara tells one story of Russell Wilson’s day on set shooting his scene -- one that ended with a star of the movie heading to the hospital with a broken leg as a result. Jerry’s been a busy man of late, training to play Arturo Gatti in an upcoming biopic about the late boxing champion, and he also has “Think Like A Man Too” hitting theatres June 20th. It’s always a fun time when Ferrara stops by, and of course we can’t let him leave without having him weigh in on the Johnny Manziel/Memorial Day Weekend/Las Vegas story -- or non-story depending on how you look at it. The show wraps up with two of the funniest guys in the business, Randy and Jason Sklar of the popular “Sklarbros Country Podcast” join the #REP crew in studio. “The Sklar Bros: What Are We Talking About?” is a newly released comedy special the duo have on Netflix, and the introduction to the special is hosted by none other than Rich Eisen himself, so be sure to check it out and stream it on Netflix. Randy and Jason also share their thoughts on their beloved Rams draft class and if they think 2014 is the year they start to make their move in the highly contested NFC West.
