Show notes

In episode 27, Kevin chats with Tom Fornelli, college football writer for CBS Sports and co-host of the Cover 3 podcast. Fornelli has been at CBS for 15 years, and he is a fixture in their college football coverage. How did he get to CBS? It wasn't the typical writer's route, but one that speaks to the times. Fornelli blogged in his free time while working as a manager at an Osco Drug in the Chicago suburbs. That led to more blogging for Fanhouse, before getting discovered by CBS. Hear how Tom Fornelli broke in.
