ESPN Football Today
ESPN Football Today is a daily American podcast, produced by ESPN Radio, that covers American Football, primarily the National Football League. The original name was the 1st and Fifteen Podcast, and until the 2010 NFL season it was hosted by Jeremy Green. During the regular season, the podcast runs from Mondays through Fridays and is produced by Jay Soderberg, with Ross Tucker joining as host Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Matt Williamson hosts on Tuesdays and Fridays, to give his weekly power rankings and to PREview the weekend's games in the NFL. ESPN insider Adam Schefter also joins Soderberg and Tucker on Thursdays. During the 2011 offseason, the podcast GeneRally occurs on Mondays and Thursdays, with Williamson and Tucker as co-hosts.
Because of personal problems involving his employment with ESPN, Ross Tucker has not been a host on Football Today since 2/28 although he continues his Sirius radio program and continues to regularly update his twitter.
