Though it’s the college basketball offseason, there is no summer slowdown when it comes to ESPN adding top talent to its reporting roster. The newest member of the team is Insider and multiplatform reporter, Jeff Goodman.

The Boston native, who has worked for the Associated Press, Scout.com, FoxSports.com, and most recently, CBSSports.com, fell in love with journalism in his teens, and college basketball, during his studies at the University of Arizona. Goodman, who is quite active on Twitter (@GoodmanESPN), is already making his mark with breaking news such as this from yesterday on Georgetown’s Greg Whittington.

Goodman visited with Front Row to discuss his new ESPN role and what’s ahead for the 2013-14 season.

For tonight anyway, the “SC” of SportsCenter will stand for Steph Curry

He was a breakout star of the 2013 NBA Playoffs and more and more it appears as though Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is a social media stalwart as well.

Capitalizing on Curry’s proclivity for Tweeting and Vining, SportsCenter’s social feeds will hand over the keyboard to the four-year NBA veteran for tonight’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals (9 p.m. ET, ABC). The hashtag to use to be part of the conversation is: #StephCenter.

“I’m doing this with SportsCenter as a fan of basketball to engage the nation and enjoy some good basketball,” Curry said. “The fans can expect a lot of fun, creativity, and an inside look at how I see the game.”

ICYMI: The week in review PLUS: Music by Brazilian artists Rogê and Sergio Mendes on ESPN’s FIFA Events in Brazil

One of the hallmarks of ESPN’s 2010 FIFA World Cup production was the creative use of classical and contemporary indigenous music from South Africa and its neighboring African nations. The music team, led by ESPN Coordinating Director of Music Claude Mitchell, scoured their industry contacts in South Africa to help identify the authentic sounds that mirror the culture and its people.

Going into the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and 2014 FIFA World Cup, ESPN’s FIFA production team, led by Senior Vice President and Executive Producer Jed Drake, plans to replicate its use of music in Brazil in much the same way as in 2010. For the Confederations Cup from June 15–30, ESPN will use music by Brazil’s new generation artist Rogê (Ole Ole) and classical musician Sergio Mendes (Magalenha) — a dress rehearsal for World Cup 2014. continue reading…

This week, while on a separate assignment in Tokyo, ESPN reporter T.J.

Writing for Outside the Lines, Quinn, Pedro Gomez and Michael Fish added to the investigative unit’s impressive body of work on Major League Baseball’s latest PED problems with a story that rocked the sports world Tuesday night and into Wednesday.

Also in Japan working on assignment was ESPN The Magazine’s Chris Jones. He had never met his colleague, Quinn, but their initial introduction was one Jones will not soon forget.
