Tiki Barber, Dana Jacobson get fresh starts as part of new morning team for CBS Sports Radio

Time for fresh starts for Tiki Barber and Dana Jacobson.

Barber and Jacobson, along with Brandon Tierney, will be the morning drive team (6-9 a.m. ET) for the new CBS Sports Radio network, beginning Jan. 2.

After retiring from the Giants in 2006, Barber joined the Today Show as a contributor. His contract wasn’t renewed in 2010. Last year, he even considered a comeback to the NFL.

Jacobson, meanwhile, spent nearly a decade in various roles at ESPN before departing last year.

Now they will be together for the next stage of their broadcast careers.

Here’s the rundown on Tierney from CBS:

Brooklyn native Brandon Tierney makes a return to his hometown in joining CBS Sports Radio.  He currently hosts The Drive with Tierney and Bucher, broadcast weekdays in San Francisco on 95.7 The Game.  Prior to moving west, Tierney was a popular staple at 1050 ESPN Radio in New York City for nearly nine years.

In addition to his hosting duties at ESPN Radio, Tierney also anchored New York Knicks pre-game, half-time and post-game shows for three seasons and occasionally served as play-by-play announcer for the station’s Knicks broadcasts. His game experience also includes serving as lead analyst for St. John’s basketball for six seasons.

His broadcast career also includes experience in radio and television including the syndicated Sports Fan Radio Network, Sports Radio 1130 The Fan in Detroit, SportsNet New York’s (SNY) The WheelHouse, and Red Storm Report with St. John’s head coaches Steve Lavin and Norm Roberts. In addition, he was a frequent contributor to ESPN’s Outside the Lines.

 Tierney is a New York Emmy award-winner and was named to the first annual Heavy Hundred of Sports Talk by the editors of Talkers Magazine.  He was graduated from Marist College with a degree in journalism while also lettering in baseball.

And here’s the weekday lineup for CBS Sports Radio:

6:00-9:00AM: Tiki Barber, Brandon Tierney and Dana Jacobson

9:00AM-12:00Noon: John Feinstein

One thought on “Tiki Barber, Dana Jacobson get fresh starts as part of new morning team for CBS Sports Radio

  1. What stations plan to take this? There’s no place for them in New York, for example, where industry leader WFAN-AM & FM has what local sports radio should have – local hosts talking about local topics. This sounds like a boondoggle.
