Why ESPN Bet Failed | How Project B Could Disrupt WNBA CBA Negotiations

ESPN is folding ESPN Bet and “winding down” its partnership with Penn Entertainment after failing to pace their lofty market-share goals. FOS media and entertainment reporter Ryan Glasspiegel has the latest on this failed experiment and what it means for the sports betting industry.

Plus, women’s sports reporter Annie Costabile talks through former WNBA MVP and current union president Nneka Ogwumike signing with the Project B women’s basketball league, and what this says about the W’s ongoing labor discussions.

Also, Stephen A. Smith gets ripped for his sketchy solitaire partnership, Rico Dowdle starts a hilarious GoFundMe campaign, and a college basketball team loses by 90 points to avoid a big fine.

Matt Iseman takes viewers beyond the scoreboard, inside the deals, and face-to-face with the personalities shaping sports.
