Can New Leadership At ESPN Get The Network Back On Track?
Big changes are coming to ESPN. The sports network just named James Pitaro as president, all while former host Adrienne Lawrence is accusing several network employees of harassment and discrimination. FHM's Nick Dimengo discusses whether or not Pitaro's digital background will be enough to save the struggling network.
Dimengo also takes a look at the ongoing drama in the world of basketball. While a number of NCAA teams are under investigation for paying student athletes, the NBA is seizing an opportunity. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says it's time for the NBA to have a better connection to elite high school players. Dimengo applauds Silver's decision and explains why this could have a big impact on the sport.
