Pablo Torre is upending the norms of sports media — and his parents — with his new show

Pablo Torre launched his new sports show on Sept. 5, two days before the first NFL game of the season. Placing his show's debut so close to the NFL opener was a pragmatic decision. ESPN, Torre's former full-time employer, divides its work calendar to address the wave of sports coverage that begins during NFL Kickoff, and it chose the same week to have Shannon Sharpe make his debut on its flagship morning debate show 'First Take.'
