It's the Thursday edition of the "daily" on the podcast feed and host T.J. Rives returns, while keeping an eye on Hurricane Helene roaring just west of him in the Gulf of Mexico and towards the panhandle of Florida, then into Georgia Friday.

While staying safe, T.J. discusses and reports on:

Caitlin Clark and her amazing story with the WNBA's Indiana Fever and their surging audience and attendance has come to an end for this season, as they were eliminated from the playoffs by the Connecticut Sun Wednesday night. What will this do to the overall audience, including the Las Vegas Aces going for a 3 peat?

Also, there's breaking news about ESPN/ESPN.com doing away with another prominent media member from their staff. We have more.

And, it's a big night for Amazon Prime as the Dallas Cowboys (the #1 draw in T.V. Sports by far) will play at the New York Giants Thursday night. Will this game smash audience highs for their football package? Will Al Michaels be enthused (as he should) to call this matchup?

We go over it all on the newest "Last Word on Sports Media Daily" and make sure to follow/subscribe to thiis feed for all the content on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.
