Newest "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast" returns with co-hosts T.J. Rives and Mike Gill. They have many takes on subjects like:

College Football is BACK

- Did Ohio St. try to ban David Portnoy of Barstool Sports from being in their stadium Saturday for Fox "Big Noon Kickoff" or not? The boys have theories.

- Both pregame shows, including "College Gameday" on ESPN will be in Columbus for Texas at Buckeyes. Legend Lee Corso's final live show.

- Dublin, Ireland CFB opener lost 20% audience on ESPN Saturday for Iowa State-Kansas State (4 mil avg). Still that won Saturday in the ratings.

Meanwhile, Youtube TV and Fox (Newscorp) are in a carriage dispute with deadline looming Wednesday 5 p.m. Will subscribers lose out on seeing CFB, MLB etc this weekend? Bigger if Fox News is dropped, too!

MLB settles on it's revamped TV packages- 

NBC getting Friday/Sunday and the Wildcard games for reportedly $200 mil per year. 

ESPN stays in for select weekday MLB games, purchase of MLB.TV for local/regional broadcasts and keeping basically unlimited use of highlights, etc. for $1.4 Billion over 3 years. 

Netflix got Home Run Derby at the All Star Game for reported $35 million.

Also, NBC concludes golf season with Fed Ex Cup finale' in Atlanta with another HUGE (relative) audience number of over 4 million average (up 20% over last year).  The Ryder Cup (USA vs. Europe) looms in late September on NBC, too.

U.S. Open Tennis EVERYWHERE on ESPN/ABC platforms but does this country really care anymore?

And, what about the Little League World Series and "overkill" there?
