Off the July 4th extended weekend, host T.J. Rives is back with a new edition of the "Last Word on Sports Media" Podcast.On this edition, he welcomes his friend/colleague Jay Betsill of DFWSportsOnline.com to join him to go over several subjects. Those include: ESPN's ugly firings and non-renewals of some 20 high profile on air and ESPN.com personalities late last week? What were the most surprising names? What's the difference between a true "layoff" of equal employees and what ESPN did? Will some of them get other high profile gigs by this Fall? Which one of those who were ousted did Jay previously encounter years ago and do an amazing 30-40 interview? It's all covered.Then, the guys turn to Sally Jenkins' amazing article on tennis legends/rivals Chris Evert and Martina Navartilova, who were the iconic hall of fame players of the sport in the late 70's through the mid 80s. They have always been great friends and now are both battling cancer together. They also discuss Sally's own story of getting the conversations and how it all came together.Finally, some discussion on golf and the popular Rickie Fowler, who won for the first time in some five years on Sunday in Detroit on the PGATour. Jay in late May got the one on one chance to interview Fowler in Ft. Worth, Texas about the Colonial tournament, the state of Fowler's game/popularity and much more. He has great insight on that conversation to share.It's all on the newest "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast" and make sure to follow this feed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, etc.!!And, stay engaged for more great content at www.lastwordonsports.com/podcasts<br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands<br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
