The guys talk the drama, the broadcasters and more.
The guys also mix in the MLB Postseason conversation, as it went head to head with football Saturday through Monday. Mike has lots of interest in the Phillies in his market and their success and MLB does have the Yankees, Mets and Dodgers in the biggest markets, too.
There's discussion of Shams Charania being hired as the new ESPN NBA insider and senior writer and Mike wonders how much value there really is in breaking news via social media now, anyway?

Brennan question whether a Connecticut player purposely tried to poke Indiana's Caitlin Clark's eye in a playoff game and it set off a firestorm of reaction. TJ speficially defends Brennan against critics for obvious reasons in her background, etc.

It's an intriguing Thursday night for sports fans as the "winner take all" MLB Wildcard game goes against Thursday Night Football in the NFL. And, host T.J. Rives is back to discuss it on the "Daily."
How about Disney/ESPN deciding to start the MLB game three of NY Mets at Milwaukee Brewers at 7 p.m. Eastern to stay early and away from the NFL start time of 8:15p Eastern for Buccaneers at Falcons in Atlanta?! It seems to be on the surface a smart move. T.J. has his thoughts.
Also, the WNBA voting is in for Rookie of the Year and Caitlin Clark was almost unanimous (no surprise), meanwhile, apparently the Tuesday night cable ratings for the semi-final playoffs on ESPN2 must not have been very good, again, as there are no numbers late in the day on Thursday.

Off the final weekend of September with plenty of NFL, College Football, the MLB regular season concluding, etc., we're back in a new week with the latest of our "Daily" podcasts.
Host T.J. Rives returns with insight and takes on:
The "Fail Mary Part II" last second play in the Miami-Virginia Tech playoff game that saw the Hokies apparently catch the winning TD, have it called a TD with no time left and then, overturned on replay by the ACC command center for a Hurricanes win to remain unbeaten. How did the ESPN broadcasters and crew handle it?
Then, a tremendous finish for Alabama and Georgia in a wild SEC game between two top teams and a game that will likely be the SEC title game and maybe even a College Football Playoff game, too. How was that coverage?
Then, there's NFL, including Tom Brady's return to Tampa Bay with the Fox Sports #1 crew to broadcast the Bucs thumping of the Eagles Sunday afternoon. And, what about Jim Nantz and Tony Romo calling the Chiefs/Chargers game nationally for CBS, as well?
T.J. has more on the WNBA and Disney/ESPN/ABC not releasing any ratings info on Monday of this week on the Las Vegas Aces/NY Liberty afternoon game that went head to head with the NFL. However, they DID release on Monday afternoo the large audience (for them) that watched Caitlin Clark's playoff debut for Indiana against Connecticut last Sunday against the NFL. It's interesting and potentially an indication that the numbers weren't nearly as good and maybe, won't be without the transcendent Clark still playing.
There's also baseball wildcard mayhem still playing out with a Mets at Braves doubleheader Monday and the Arizona Diamondbacks waiting for the loser of both games to potentially put them in the post season. And, T.J. has more on the Wildcard games coming this week on ESPN networks and ABC too.
