A ‘Slap in the Face’ for WNBA Players | Jerome Bettis on Aaron Rodgers


Listen Later

The dust has settled after a wild start to NBA free agency, with insiders questioning the moves made by Milwaukee in dumping star Damian Lillard and replacing him with Myles Turner. Did the team do enough to keep star Giannis Antetokounmpo happy? Plus, after reportedly discussing a $42 million contract with the Pistons, Malik Beasley is in limbo as he faces a federal investigation over allegations of sports betting. FOS reporter Ben Horney details the latest in the investigation and why Beasley’s former agent sued for $2.5 million, claiming Beasley might not have any money.

Meanwhile, in the WNBA, the league and players are in heated discussions on a new collective bargaining agreement that expires after the season, with stars like Mercury forward Satou Sabally calling the league’s latest proposal a “slap in the face.” CBS Sports WNBA analyst Terrika Foster-Brasby breaks down the latest in the negotiations and explains why the league’s big expansion news this week hasn't sat too well with some players.

And, NFL Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis joins the show to chat about his former team, the Steelers, signing Aaron Rodgers, and if he thinks they made enough moves during the offseason to make a deep run in the playoffs.
