NFL Draft NBA Playoffs And Stanley Cup Playoffs Discussed Inlcluding In Dallas With Jay Betsill | LWOS Media Podcast
It's a week where the NBA Playoffs, Stanley Cup Playoffs and NFL Draft all converge and we're ready to discuss that and more on the newest "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast."
Host T.J. Rives returns to give his thoughts on those subjects and more. That starts with him paying tribute to NY Yankees legendary radio voice John Sterling, who retired abprutly at the beginning of the season after broadcasting over 5,000 games on radio and all of the Yankees magical moments over the past 4 decades.
He also talks the passing of an unsung ESPN key employee when it came to research in Howie Schwab. Schwab was known for establishing ESPN's stats and information department over 30 years ago and helped launch the now montrous ESPN.com in the mid-90s.
Then, Jay Betsill of DFWSportsOnline.com and a media veteran of Dallas-Ft.Worth Sports joins T.J. to give some takes on the Mavericks, Stars and more vying for attention against the vaunted Dallas Cowboys this week. This is because the NFL and specifically, the Cowboys, will consume things with this week's 2024 NFL Draft. How much is Jerry Jones under fire, if at all? And, does the DFW media "tell it like it is" anymore on the Cowboys or not?
T.J. then wraps with talk and cable ratings proof that the NBA being much more popular than College Basketball and March Madness just isn't true.
