April 12, 2024 09:00 - 28 minutesWhen the starter’s gun goes off on Monday for the 128th Boston Marathon, sadly Kelvin Kiptum will not be among the runners. The Kenyan running superstar lost his life earlier this year and that tragedy has been compounded by what appeared to be limitless potential.

So today, ultramarathoner Kelaine Conochan joins us to explain just how much the wo...
Does Anyone Want to Coach at Kentucky?
April 11, 2024 09:00 - 25 minutesJohn Calipari’s tenure at Kentucky included a national championship and four Final Fours. At most other programs, that kind of resume would have guaranteed him a job for life. But things are different in Lexington, as the Wildcats’ five year streak of no Sweet 16 appearances made Calipari’s recent decision to jump to Arkansas shocking but not surprising. So today, SportsCenter anchor and lifelong Kentucky fan Michael Eaves gives us the view inside the Big Blue fanbase and explains why pickin...

Men's Final Four Preview with Myron Medcalf
April 05, 2024 09:00 - 29 minutesWe spent much of the men’s college basketball season lamenting the lack of buzz and star power on the court. But few sporting events are as good at building stars and storylines as the NCAA tournament. And despite fewer upsets and no true buzzer-beaters, the 2024 edition has still delivered. It all comes to a head in Saturday’s Final Four as DJ Burns and NC State face Zach Edey and Purdue, followed by Mark Sears and Alabama taking on Donovan Clingan and Connecticut.

Could Max Verstappen Leave Red Bull?
April 03, 2024 09:00 - 27 minutesAs expected, Max Verstappen and his Red Bull team are off to a strong start in the 2024 Formula 1 season. But despite Verstappen and his teammate Sergio Perez finishing first and second in two of the season’s first three races, the focus has been on things happening off the track.

How Will Shohei Ohtani Assimilate into Dodger Blue?
April 02, 2024 09:00 - 31 minutesIppei Mizuhara was more than a friend and interpreter for Shohei Ohtani. He was the man that held the door shut between Ohtani and the outside world. With Mizuhara gone in the wake of this massive sports betting scandal, Ohtani is now a man alone. Tim Keown spent time watching the Dodgers’ newest star up close and personal recently, and he explains to us how Ohtani’s newfound isolation might actually be the key to him opening up to the Dodgers, and maybe eventually the rest of us all.

Is a Major Sports Betting Scandal Inevitable?
April 01, 2024 09:00 - 24 minutesHe may have been the biggest such star to become entangled in a gambling drama, but Dodgers’ star Shohei Ohtani was not the first. Days after the scandal surrounding the global baseball star’s interpreter came to light, a different set of suspicious bets emerged.

Men's March Madness Check-in with Myron Medcalf
March 28, 2024 12:16 - 29 minutesMarch Madness returns tonight with the Sweet 16, and the storylines are just getting good. Following a pair of stunning losses by blue bloods Kentucky and Kansas, and a return to form by Gonzaga, we’re asking ourselves if UConn can be villainous enough to capture the first two-peat since the 2007 Florida Gators? Whether Zach Edey can get Purdue over the top? And if NC State can be the Cinderella story to sweep through this tournament? ESPN host and college basketball writer Myron Medcalf gi...
Jeff Passan Details a Failed Coup at the MLBPA
March 27, 2024 09:00 - 27 minutesEven as the Shohei Ohtani sports betting scandal dominates the headlines, there are other off-the-field stories bouncing around Major League Baseball.

So today, ESPN MLB writer Jeff Passan details a story full of palace intrigue, conniving characters, and breaks down a battle for the future of the MLBPA more...
The Conflict Inside Caitlin Clark
March 26, 2024 09:00 - 27 minutesFor any star, the path to greatness is paved with pitfalls most of us will never encounter. The burden of being the best person on the court.

That is the road Iowa’s Caitlin Clark walks. So today, in the wake of the Hawkeyes’ second Sweet 16 birth in as many years, our Wright Thompson brings us closer to Clark’s inner circle...

Ohtani’s Interpreter Fired for Sports Betting - What We Know
March 22, 2024 09:00 - 24 minutesThis isn’t the kind of attention that Major League Baseball was looking for to open the season.

Men’s March Madness Preview with Myron Medcalf
March 20, 2024 09:00 - 26 minutesThis season of men's college basketball has lacked the buzz and attention we're used to seeing, but now that the tournament is here and bracket bets are rolling in, that is sure to change. We already saw the drama ramp up last weekend as several “bid-thieves” won their conference tournaments and stole slots from a handful of bubble teams. So can UConn become the first back-to-back champ in 17-years? Can Purdue overcome the stigma of last year's first-round upset? And what’s the deal with Lo...

It’s the culmination of coach Lindsey Gottlieb’s three-year rehabilitation project for the once proud program.

ESPN Writer Katie Barnes started repor...

March 15, 2024 09:00 - 30 minutesIn December, Ted Leonsis, owner of the Washington Wizards and Capitals, announced the teams were leaving their downtown home of 26 years and building a new arena south of the city in the Virginia suburbs. For many longtime fans of the team, moving to a community they didn’t feel welcome was seen as a betrayal. But it’s also a trend we’re seeing throughout sports, as owners increasingly use new venue projects as a tool to expand their real estate empires. So today, Clinton Yates and Martenzie...

Did Open Tryouts and Four Walk-Ons Save a Season?
March 07, 2024 10:00 - 30 minutesThe Big 12 Women’s basketball tournament starts today, but of all the teams in attendance, none have had a season of ups and downs like the Texas Christian University. After starting out the year surprisingly strong and entering the top 25, a series of injuries sidelined several players, including stars Sedona Price and Madison Connor.

Are the Oklahoma City Thunder Inevitable?
March 06, 2024 10:00 - 25 minutesThe Oklahoma City Thunder are currently sitting at the top of the Western Conference, which is not bad for a team that’s also one of the youngest in the NBA. But how are they dominating the league the way that they are so quickly?

The Chicago Bears' QB Conundrum
March 05, 2024 10:00 - 29 minutesThe Chicago Bears are facing a critical decision as the NFL off-season kicks into gear. Do they stick with their incumbent quarterback, Justin Fields, who the Bears have spent a couple of seasons surrounding with talent.

It’s not as simple a decision as it might seem from the outside, especially when you look at how little Fields had around him early in his career, an...

Jeff Passan Explains MLB’s Off the Field Challenges
February 26, 2024 10:00 - 30 minutesAs ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan tells us, spring training should be about hope and new beginnings. Relaying the smell of freshly cut grass, enjoying the Florida or Arizona sunlight, hearing the crack of the bat and the slap of the leather. But for Major League Baseball, there are still a number of issues that have caught people’s attention, and none of them relate to position battles, or players making debuts with new teams. The Athletics are still trying to find their way to Las Vegas, and w...

February 23, 2024 10:00 - 25 minutesThere are more household names in women’s basketball than ever before, and another star is shooting her way to the top of the list.

Bing Bong: Jason Concepcion Deciphers the Knicks Fan Base
February 22, 2024 10:00 - 30 minutesIt’s been a long time since the New York Knicks have been one of the NBA’s premier franchises. And even names like Pat Riley, Patrick Ewing, and Allan Houston, weren’t able to deliver a championship to New York City’s rabid basketball fans. But according to writer, host, and displaced New Yorker Jason Concepcion, that all may be starting to change. After decades of being the joke in many basketball circles, this Knicks team is suddenly loaded with talent and depth, and being run as competent...

Can Kyle Shanahan Get Over the Hump?

Frank Gore: The NFL’s Last Running Back
February 06, 2024 10:00 - 31 minutesFrank Gore Sr. ran for exactly 16,000 yards in his prolific 16 year career in the NFL. Most likely, that longevity and endurance will never be replicated again, meaning Gore is more than worthy of the title, “The Last Running Back”. As the running backs' role in the NFL has dramatically shifted over the years, the Frank Gore archetype is fading into history. With his son Frank Gore Jr.’s impending selection in this year's NFL draft, has the game changed too much for him to pass down everythin...

February 05, 2024 10:00 - 28 minutesThere were two big questions about the Kansas City Chiefs throughout much of the 2023 NFL season. What was wrong with their offense?
