NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson on being the leader of group projects, getting rejected, the spirituality of sports, and how the NFL draft is like a stockholder meeting

Madeline and Charlotte are thrilled to welcome Emmy award-winner Scott Hanson to the show for a very special conversation. Scott is the host of NFL RedZone, Gold Zone during the Olympics, and is in EA Sports’ Madden NFL. If you’re a football fan, he is the voice of your Sundays. 

But first, the gals discuss the workplace drama in the WNBA. In her exit interview on Tuesday, Lynx star Napheesa Collier called out the league and the commissioner, Cathy Englebert, specifically. She came with receipts and the result was a masterclass in speaking truth to power, especially during the ongoing CBA negotiations. Your employer is not your friend!

Then it’s time for the gals’ conversation with Scott. They covered a lot of ground, including: 

• What Scott means to his fans, and how seriously he takes his job
• Wanting to make sports more accessible 
• How he was rejected from his college program of choice and worked his butt off to get in
• Why his habits as a child actually made him perfect for his RedZone job
• The hope of rookie quarterbacks
• Why sports are spiritual 
• Why the NFL draft is like a hopeful shareholder’s meeting 
• An incredible story about one of Tony Romo’s groomsmen

And much more! Thanks again to Scott, and you can find information about RedZone at nfl.com/redzone
