CBS considering Super Bowl LIII pregame interview with Donald Trump

CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus indicated Thursday that the network is exploring the possibility of arranging a sit-down interview with President Donald Trump as part of its pregame coverage of Super Bowl LIII.

The Chicago Tribune’s Matt Bonesteel reports that CBS has engaged in talks with the White House about a potential Trump interview, but McManus stated there will be “no announcement on that right now.”

Trump was not interviewed by NBC for the network’s pregame coverage of Super Bowl LII last year. Instead, the President sat down for a taped interview with Bill O’Reilly that was aired during FOX News’ coverage of the game.

Trump of course waged war on the NFL ever since he assumed office, although it merits noting that the NFL has not been the only professional sports league embroiled in an acrimonious dialogue with Trump.

on Super Bowl Sunday if they go ahead with that plan. Not one second. Light up their social media, let them know they are blowing their most important broadcast of the year.
