FRONT & CENTER: JAY CRAWFORD leaves First Take & heads over to my favorite show SportsCenter! Check out footage from past shows where you’ll see talent like Magic Johnson, Serena Williams and Wale!

—

Nine years ago, Jay Crawford (@JayCrawfordESPN) began co-hosting a little show that could, named Cold Pizza. Today, he begins a new role on a not-so-little show named, SportsCenter, as he becomes co-anchor — with Chris McKendry — for the noon ET SportsCenter.

In the Front & Center podcast above, Jay discusses: his time on First Take; his admiration of and appreciation for Skip Bayless; the excitement he has for his new role; a special tweet from his daughter and the emotional trip he made home a last month.
