I’m trying to entertain people and have some fun. “Sometimes as analysts, we allow things to become personal to us and it starts affecting not only you, but your relationships. “And I enjoy conversing with people about sports because I think I’m one of the rare people that can give an opinion, that can take an opinion, that can give criticism and take it and it’s not personal. I always knew that this was a job I could do as far as being in a studio amongst a group of people,” Booger McFarland said.
McFarland was a guest on the SI Media with Jimmy Trainapodcast this week and he mentioned how he always enjoys talking to people about sports and he never takes any critique of the analysis he gives seriously because sports is supposed to be fun. It is a milestone for the former Super Bowl winning defensive lineman as he has now been in the sports media industry longer than he was as an actual player (9 years with the Buccaneers and Colts). This year is a milestone year for Booger McFarland as it is his 10 th year working at ESPN.
