On today’s episode, we get an update from Front Office Sports senior writer Michael McCarthy on life at ESPN. McCarthy talks about the most recent round of layoffs, the troubles around their business model, and ESPN’s role in the upcoming NBA media rights negotiations.

He shares his thoughts on San Diego’s record $500 million MLS expansion fee, the Arizona Coyotes failed entertainment district, and whether or not public funds should be used to pay for sports venues.
