ESPN’s Taylor Twellman let drop that The Worldwide Leader™ will be televising its flagship sports title, ‘SportsCenter’ live, at the last Hudson River Derby of the year. That’s a Friday night special, on August 25, at Red Bull Arena.
He’ll be joining studio hosts Michael Smith and Jemele Hill to break down the derby, and assuming Andrea Pirlo is still with the team, which fine vintage the Italian legend will be sipping as the Red Bulls’ Alex Muyl blitzes past him to score a goal. score
‘SportsCenter’ is normally filmed in-studio, so having the show on-site at a game like the derby is a significant marker both for the league and specifically for the Red Bulls and the Blues.
