Jeremy has covered the Olympics, World Cup, Tour de France, World Series, Super Bowl, US OPen golf and tennis, men’s and women’s Final Fours, New York Marathon, Daytona 500, NBA finals, Kentucky Derby, and … chess boxing.
Among his awards: 14 Emmys, a Peabody, 2 Edward R. Murrows, and ESPN’s first-ever Robert F. Kennedy Award for human rights and justice reporting. He earned that for revealing the conditions of migrant laborers in Qatar before the 2022 World Cup.

As an avid spectator (and participant) in sports, what a fascinating interview!! We are fortunate to have locals like Jeremy willing to share insights into their chosen life-long profession. It’s sure been a fantastic journey for him!! An interesting note is that back in the early days of E:60, I had been interviewed for an e-sports segment, but unfortunately it was conducted by someone else. 🙁
