Shams to ESPN; NHL Drops Puck

Shams Charania is headed to ESPN to replace Adrian Wojnarowski, who retired just weeks before the start of the NBA season. Front Office Sports senior writer Michael McCarthy has been following this one since the beginning, and he had the scoop that the deal was “on the 5-yard line.” McCarthy joins the show to discuss how this deal came together. 

Plus, the NFL continues to push games outside of its typical viewing hours, and international play is a big reason why. FOS newsletter writer David Rumsey offers his assessment of the league’s increasing TV time.

We also hear from Pete Jensen of NHL.com as the puck gets ready to drop for a new season, the ugly side of baseball fandom rears its head, and there is a huge development in the House vs. NCAA legal case.
