A lousy news day for ESPN. One item is the passing of the great Howie Schwab.

The other is the awful decision by ESPN Radio to end its Saturday show with Dari Nowkhah and Mel Kiper Jr.

This wasn't just the best show on Saturdays.

It was the best show on ESPN Radio, period.

Big thanks to Brandin Podziemski of the Golden State Warriors for coming on the latest episode of our '48 Minutes' podcast by Bleav. Brandin was great answering questions from Ross Geiger, Bruce B and myself on a number of subjects, including a likely NBA All-Rookie selection.

#CrunchTime how, how, how do you not foul up 3 Houston Rockets?

#crunchtime Jalen Green making the latest push for the NBA's Most Improved Player Award in NBA history.

This week's '48 Minutes' by Bleav features Timothy Legler of ESPN. Among the topics:

It’s nice to be on the same page as an all-time great.

So impressed with Iowa Women's Basketball. This must be the greatest team of all time.

I mean, they’ve gone a quarter and a half — 18 minutes of game time — and committed one foul.

One.

Impressive 🙄
