Description

In an era of cord cutting, Disney CEO Bob Iger is exploring selling stakes in Disney's linear and digital channels — including ESPN. Senior writer Mike McCarthy joins us to break down Iger's position, and why Mike thinks Iger is showing his hand with the announcement. We also hear from Senior Reporter A.J. Perez on a potential hold-up with the Washington Commanders Sale.
Next, ESPN Tennis commentator Patrick McEnroe joins us from Wimbledon to give us a sneak peek ahead of this weekend's finals, whether or not sports documentaries like Netflix's Break Point can turn your average tennis player into a household name, and why we haven't seen a American Tennis player at the top of the standings in well-over a decade.
