Amy Trask, NFL Analyst, CBS Sports Network — Amy Trask joined CBS Sports Network in 2013 as a studio analyst on That Other Pregame Show and serves as a panelist on We Need to Talk, the first-ever nationally televised all-female sports show. She also contributes to The NFL Today on CBS. Prior to joining CBS, Trask was one of the highest-ranking women in American professional sports, serving as CEO of the Oakland Raiders from 1997 until 2013. As CEO, Trask was involved in all non-football business matters and operations for the team, including team representation at league meetings. During her tenure, the Raiders won four division championships (1990, 2000, 2001 and 2002) and one AFC championship (2002). Trask joined the Raiders as an unpaid intern during law school, her first step toward becoming the NFL's first female front-office executive. She also served as a trusted adviser to late Raiders owner Al Davis, known for treating her and others on his team without regard to gender, race and age. Trask shared her experiences at the Raiders in her book You Negotiate Like a Girl: Reflections on a Career in the National Football League. Trask is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, where she earned a degree in political science and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and received her law degree from the USC Gould School of Law. She sits on the board of directors for Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation.
