Who Could Replace Joy Taylor at FS1? | Tampa Bay Rays Sold for $1.7B
from Front Office Sports Today · host Front Office Sports
Big changes are happening at FS1, as the network canceled three of its five daily shows including Breakfast Ball, The Facility, and Speak, hosted by Joy Taylor, Paul Pierce, and Keyshawn Johnson. FOS media reporter and Tuned In writer Michael McCarthy explains why the network pulled the plug on the shows, whether its cancellations have anything to do with departing executive Charlie Dixon, and which big names are being looked at to possibly join the network. Meanwhile, baseball’s current home run leader, Cal Raleigh, became the first switch-hitter and catcher to win the Home Run Derby, taking home the $1 million prize and furthering what has already been a historic season for the Mariner. Baseball writer Hannah Keyser talks about why the “Big Dumper” has been such a hit, as well as the future of the Rays as current owner Stu Sternberg has agreed to sell the team for $1.7 billion. And a bipartisan bill to regulate college sports called the SCORE Act was introduced in the House that would offer limited antitrust protection for the NCAA and would bar schools from using student fees to pay for college athletic programs. While fans say the legislation is needed to protect schools and athletes in the current college athletic environment, players’ unions for the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB are all against it, with one U.S. senator calling the SCORE Act “the National Championship of all heists.” Adam Breneman, host of the Front Office Sports podcast Next Up, breaks down the proposed legislation. Key Moments: 0:43 - Portland Fire return, Garrett Wilson payday, Serrano & Taylor ratings 5:02 - Fox Sports 1 mass cancellations; Joy Taylor out 9:58 - Cal Raleigh wins the HR Derby; Rays sold for $1.7B 17:36 - Adam Breneman discusses how the 'Score Act' could change NIL 22:30 - NFL's new "tantrum proof" Sony headsets 📈 Don’t miss tomorrow’s top stories in the business and culture of sports — Subscribe now: https://www.youtube.com/@FrontOfficeSports/subscribe Front Office Sports Today is your daily guide on all things sports, business and culture, with insightful commentary and appearances from athletes, executives, and more.
