Traina Thoughts: Gus Johnson On His Worst On-Air Gaffe, Biggest Pet Peeve With College Football, Not Loving The "Gus-gasm Phrase" And Much More

1. The one and only Gus Johnson is the guest on this week's SI Media Podcast and he was superb. Over the 45-minute conversation, we covered tons of ground. Topics include: Why he gave up Twitter, being a fan favorite, critics who say he's too loud and over the top, his overall philosophy when calling a game, his first big break, his famous NCAA Tournament calls, whether all his calls are spontaneous, the longevitiy of good play-by-play broadcasters, his favorite sport to cover, his favorite analysts that he's worked with, whether he misses calling NFL action, his opinion on players taking a knee during the national anthem, his biggest pet peeve with college football, not loving the "Gus-gasm" phrase that lights up Twitter when he has a big call.
