Show Notes
We continue to follow updates around the NBA's massive illegal gambling scandal with FOS deals reporter Ben Horney, including Brian Windhorst saying that the NBA knew about Terry Rozier's suspicious betting activity in 2023 and "pulled him" for the rest of the season. Ben also assesses how strong the case is against both Rozier and Chauncey Billups after each of their attorneys said they would fight the charges. Plus, ESPN's Get Up producer Paul Hembekides joins us with some great math around the World Series and why this year's matchup reflects an important spending trend in MLB. Hembo tells Baker Machado and Renee Washington that most owners are actually rooting for the superteam Dodgers ahead of intense labor negotiations next year, and he offers his prediction for what could be the highest-rated World Series ever. Also, Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik talks through his team's struggles this season, politicians put pressure on the WNBA, and we say goodbye to someone very special.
