The problem with ESPN's NBA coverage; plus, weekend ratings and Golf Channel skips Scheffler

On today's episode, Jon Lewis and Drew Lerner quickly go over weekend ratings for the NBA, PGA Championship, and Preakness before diving into our main topic: ESPN's game 7 broadcast of Knicks-Pacers. Jon details how ESPN's failures have resulted in a product that has become a disservice to NBA viewers, why the problem is systemic, and whether the network can reverse course over its next decade-plus of NBA rights. The crew closes out the show with a discussion of the coverage surrounding Scottie Scheffler's incident Friday at the PGA Championship.
