Is Jonathan Zaslow a celebrity in sports media?

Dan Le Batard 0:52
I want to put this on the poll, even though I know the answer to this question here amid our audience, just because we talk so much, too much about Chris Cody owning a Sesta Cyclones highlight team. But I just want to put on the poll at Levitard show the question. Do you know what Highline is at Levitard Show? And I also want to put on there, is the sports anchor endangered? Yes or no. Jonathan Zaslow, who's in with us today, will have a segment on Highline here with Tony and Mike toward the end of this hour. But Jonathan Zaslow is in here today. He's a rising star at ESPN and he's a rising star at ESPN who's creating sports. ESPN on ESPN crime because a co-worker is mad at Jonathan Zaslow.
Zaslow 1:40
I heard about that.
Dan Le Batard 1:41
And Jonathan Zaslow's placement in a strange place that I wasn't expecting to find him. It is a strange thing. Jonathan Zaslow was under the banner headline. Celebrity picks.
Zaslow 1:55
College basketball celebrity picks.

What are the controversies surrounding celebrity sports picks?

Dan Le Batard 1:59
I don't understand how you're a celebrity. I didn't understand entirely how Jay Billis would be considered a celebrity at ESPN. These are just expert picks. They're not celebrity picks. And somebody's mad that Jonathan Zaslow gets to make picks and that they don't get to make picks.
Zaslow 2:18
My name's right up top there. You got Dick Vitale, and it's a picture of him, and it's who he selects, and it's Seth Greenberg, and it's Jay Billis, and it's me. I'm right next to those guys. And there's my pick. Obviously, I picked the Florida Gators. That's my alma mater. But I'm right there. I'm right there on the Tournament Challenge app where you can compete against celebrities like myself. I'm right there. And from what I understand... Not everybody is pleased with me being, because apparently my picture, my name is one of the first ones there. Clinton Yates, ESPN Radio. I heard today he is not pleased that my name is right, that my picture, my name is front and center, and he's not there. He's not happy about it. Hang with him, Clinton.
Dan Le Batard 3:03
Put it on the poll. Hang with him, Clinton. Yes or no. Roy, I saw a look across your face. I didn't know what it is that the thought was. So if you would like to share it with us, I'm here for it.
Stugotz 3:13
Yeah, probably not a good idea for me to share that right now. Clinton Yates, good guy. I'm going to defend him in most aspects.
Dan Le Batard 3:23
Did you just no comment me? Yes, I did. I'm with him on that.
Stugotz 3:26
You're putting me in a bad spot here. Roy, you were producing the day that he slept, the day that he was supposed to fill in, right? Yes, yes, I was there. Cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dan Le Batard 3:34
I don't know what the look was on your face. I was confused by the look on your face. Clinton Yates is complaining about something.
Zaslow 3:41
I'm a celebrity picker. That's not my fault.
Dan Le Batard 3:43
Come on. I don't feel like any of those people should be classified as celebrity pickers if all they're doing is being experts picking games on that website. Like, might be celebrities outside of ESPN, but I think if they're...
Zaslow 3:56
Well, it's because you're competing against us. You're competing against the celebrities. That's the point in the app, in the Tournament Challenge.
Dan Le Batard 4:04
Have you risen to the point that you should be somewhere on the marquee with Dick Vitale?
Zaslow 4:08
For sure. For sure. Everybody knows, especially when it comes to college football, because I host College Football Tailgate on ESPN Radio. College football experts. You've got Paul Feinbaum. You've got Heather Dinnage. You've got me. Everybody knows those are your college football experts.
