15:10Now PlayingDan Dakich and Sage Steele spent a combined three decades at ESPN, and in this conversation they compare notes on what changed the network they loved. Dakich pinpoints the shift after 2020, why he knew a middle-aged guy with strong opinions was going to be pushed out, and what he thinks about the Ryan Clark situation. Along the way they get into leadership, courage, and why he says executives privately agreed with him but would not act. ESPN, sports media, and the business of getting it wrong, on The Sage Steele Show.
