What Happens To RedZone on ESPN?

NFL RedZone is heading to ESPN … unless President Donald Trump blocks the deal, says Tuned In columnist Michael McCarthy. He joins Derryl Barnes and Renee Washington to discuss the president’s potential involvement in this deal and what the acquisition means for Scott Hanson and the commercial-free football we’ve come to love.

Plus, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones continues to throw shade at Micah Parsons, telling fans “don’t lose sleep” over the star linebacker’s hold-in that has now turned into a trade request. FOS newsletter editor Matthew Tabeek joins the show to explain the reason for Jones’s confidence and what comes next in this ugly saga.

Also, the Connecticut Sun have a buyer in place, but the WNBA doesn’t approve yet; the Lakers commit to their franchise cornerstone; and the first NFL preseason game turns heads with massive viewership.
