Formerly with ESPN and Sports Illustrated, Melissa Jacobs, the founder and managing editor of the footballgirl.com, joins Bob to discuss the increasing gender diversification at every level of football; from full-time female coaches in the NFL to players at the youth level. Jacobs also talks about her colleagues covering the sport; the balance between highlighting the so-called ‘do goodery’ of today’s players and examining the societal problems that often dominate the game’s off-field headlines; and why she’s looking forward to ‘Hard Knocks’ with Jon Gruden and the Raiders.
