Today, I’m joined by a familiar face to sports fans across the country, Brian Kenny. Brian is an anchor for MLB Network, where he hosts Clubhouse Confidential, the first and only television show devoted to sports analytics. He is also the host for Showtime Championship Boxing, and hosts The Brian Kenny Show on NBC Sports Radio from 9:00 a.m.–noon Eastern, Monday–Friday.
