It's our latest edition of the show where we take a look at sports media news, ratings and updates and that includes the NBA Finals and whether a prominent ESPN commentator is speaking for America on being less than interested? Plus, Caitlin Clark's returns to WNBA action, the Stanley Cup Final and more on the "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast."
Host T.J. Rives and co-host Mike Gill discuss:
Stephen A. Smith caught playing Solitaire on his phone while OKC-IND game 4 action was going on and how bad a look for ESPN? Did he speak for most of America though on not caring to watch that much?
Then, it turns to the electric Clark bombing in three pointers for Indiana in her Saturday return to help restart interest in the WNBA season. The guys go over her quick impact.
They also talk thrilling end to the rain interrupted final round of the US Open golf on Sunday for NBC won by little known JJ Spaun dramatically on the final hole. But, what was good or not so good on the TV coverage?
The Stanley Cup Final wrapped up Tuesday night with another Florida Panthers win to go back to back, but disappointingly, the hockey just doesn't grow audience right now.
The College World Series has a no-hitter to spice things up and also, it's the 31st anniversary of the infamous OJ Simpson Bronco chase from the L.A. cops,
And, we bring back a segment from George Ofman's "Tell me a story I don't know" podcast with Bob Costas re-living how OJ was trying to call him on that Friday night, as Costas hosted the NBC NBA Finals coverage live in New York. It's great stuff.
It's all part of the "LWOS Media Podcast" and make sure to follow/subscribe to this feed on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.!
