    Chiney Ogwumike inked a new contract extension with ESPN, as did Kendrick Perkins, Monica McNutt, and Tim Legler. The deal makes her the first female broadcaster to work full-time across NBA Countdown and WNBA Countdown. She joins the show to discuss her work at ESPN, the WNBA Finals, and the growth of the league.

    Plus, Colts running back Jonathan Taylor discusses life on an up-and-coming NFL team, Front Office Sports reporter Colin Salao breaks down the coming CBA negotiations likely on the horizon for the WNBA, James Dolan strikes a deal with Abu Dhabi, and an NWSL team flubs its rollout.
