Episode 177: Trouble at ESPN

ESPN has not just been reporting the news lately, they have been the news—and not in good ways. On today's show, Chad and John discuss:

3:00 - We briefly recap a wildly entertaining World Series and that instantly classic Game 7.

7:30 - The betting scandal we covered last episode has now come to MLB. We react to the news of two Cleveland Guardian pitchers who are facing significant jail time if convicted.

32:30 - ESPN has shut down its betting program, and taken a sponsorship with DraftKings. Is this significant?

44:00 - The Stephen A. Smith Solitaire Scandal (you can see his horrific A.I. ad here).

53:40 - The ESPN vs. YouTube TV standoff is bad for everyone, but mostly the fans.
