Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Linda Cohn: Loyalty Doesn't Pay | Sage Steele Show
Q: Do you think ESPN will ever get that core audience back, those big numbers back outside of the game programming?
Cohn says ESPN's studio shows are unlikely to regain that audience because viewers can find commentators they trust on YouTube and other digital platforms; she expects games to remain the main draw.
Linda Cohn: Loyalty Doesn't Pay | Sage Steele Show
Q: What was the turning point for when the network changed from being must-see TV?
Cohn says ESPN changed after George Bodenheimer left, with later leadership and a shift toward political commentary contributing to a different workplace and on-air culture.
Tony Dungy on His NBC Exit, Super Bowl Heartbreak & Standing Firm in His Faith | Sage Steele Show
Q: How did you as a couple initially deal with that?
Dungy says he and Lauren leaned on their faith after their son James died by suicide. He describes supporting other bereaved parents and says his message is that parents should not blame themselves, since mental illness can cause suicide like a physical illness.
Tony Dungy on His NBC Exit, Super Bowl Heartbreak & Standing Firm in His Faith | Sage Steele Show
Q: How did you find out that it was ending?
Dungy says he expected the change, then NBC told him and Rodney Harrison that it wanted younger voices and planned to reshape the show. He says he does not know whether his public beliefs contributed to the decision.
Enes Kanter Freedom on the WNBA Rejection, Getting Blackballed by the NBA, and 14 Years in Exile
Q: Why did you keep speaking out when you knew it could end your NBA career?
He says a conversation with a concentration camp survivor and the accounts of torture and other human-rights abuses convinced him to keep using his platform, even at the cost of his career and endorsements.
