One of the goals of “The Main Event with Andrew Marchand” is to understand the sports media business. How does a current All-Pro defensive lineman start preparing for a post-playing career in sports media. We spoke with the Steelers’ Cam Heyward about it. He even gave a time-table of when he may retire. Here is what else Marchand and Heyward talked about:
What was it like growing up with Craig “Ironhead” Heyward as your father
Why he didn’t become a running back like his dad
Why he was an education major at Ohio State
What it is the media like for an Ohio State player
How being open with the media as a player is better
What's it like to live up to the Steelers' "standard"
His relationship with Mike Tomlin
He was a big SportsNation guy, not hot takes
What he's trying to do with his podcast
How he looks at Pat McAfee’s, the Kelces’ and Ryan Clark’s media success
How broadcast boot camp made him excited about TV games
He didn't really enjoy doing analysis on a radio game
How is the Pittsburgh media
When will he retire
The goal is to have his own production company after he retires
