Joining the ESPN, "The Worldwide Leader in Sports," in July 2019, Ben covers the Cincinnati Bengals as its beat writer for the web and ESPN Radio. Prior to joining ESPN, Ben covered Texas A&M and college athletics for The Dallas Morning News. He has also worked at the San Antonio Express-News and started his career as a full-time journalist in 2011 at the Denton Record-Chronicle.
On this episode (out on all major platforms on Wednesday, March 30, 2022), Ben talks to Tabari about his humble beginnings in Texas driving across the state to gigs, the sheer passion of Texas' high school football, the highs and lows of being a professional sportswriter, his amateur boxing career and his noted fashion sense among his peers. He also goes into where you can find some of the best food based on his road journeys, why we probably have yet to see a Indian-American star break through in sports ... And his thoughts on going to the Super Bowl LVI (and his breakdown of the halftime show).
