Jemele Hill on Why She Doesn't Feel ESPN Gave Her a Fair Shot With 'SportsCenter': TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. It was announced earlier this week that Colin Kaepernick made a deal with Disney/ESPN to produce content including a docuseries on his past five years.

One of the producers for the series is Jemele Hill, who had a rocky exit from ESPN in 2018.

Hill joined me on this week's SI Media Podcast to discuss how this all came together and clear up two important narratives about Kaepernick. According to Hill, Kaepernick definitely wants to play football again, and he has never said he'd come back only as a starting quarterback.

Hill also said that Kaepernick reached out to get her side of her exit from ESPN before he agreed to get into business with the network.
