Sal Licata's WFAN warning for Craig Carton after Fox Sports cancelation
Carton recently had his show, 'Breakfast Ball,' canceled by Fox Sports and The Athletic reported that a WFAN return could be in the offing for the 56-year-old.
'And by the way, I'm not worried about Craigy coming back,' Licata said Wednesday on the midday show he co-hosts with Brandon Tierney, according to Awful Announcing. 'I told it to his face. This was years ago, whenever he came back the last time. You can come back all you want, you're not taking my spot.'

While it's unclear whether Fox has other plans for Carton, it makes sense that he could return to The Fan after he had spent 13 years making a name for himself at the legendary New York radio station.
Carton worked with WFAN from 2007 to 2017, hosting 'Boomer and Carton' in the mornings before he spent time in prison for fraud charges that the shock jock said was a result of a gambling problem.
He returned to WFAN in 2020 to host the afternoon show with Evan Roberts and departed in 2023 when he joined Fox Sports.
He launched 'The Carton Show' in 2023 that aired in the early mornings and was later rebranded 'Breakfast Ball.'

Carton does have a show with FanDuel, which launched in March called 'The Comeback with Craig Carton,' that primarily focuses on responsible gambling and recovery.
Carton, a recovering gambling addict, also goes around to colleges to speak about problem gambling, among other things.

Portnoy will appear on the daily show on Mondays and different Barstool personalities will also be involved. "We are going to do an 8-10 daily show on Fox Sports 1.

ESPN host Elle Duncan raises eyebrows with crude joke during WNBA All-Star Game
Pat McAfee has opened up Pandora's box at ESPN regarding what people can say on the air. Others at the network are losing their filters as well. Advertisement Host Elle Duncan had a unique way of describing the lack of defense in the WNBA All-Star Game Saturday night on ABC. 'We hope it gets a little bit more competitive. Because like a girls' trip to Cancun, right now, there's no D,'' Duncan said during the halftime show as Napheesa Collier's team led Caitlin Clark's team 82-60. 'Elle, you're in timeout. You're done,' ESPN analyst Chiney Ogwumike quipped as the broadcast then cut to commercial. Duncan's joke drew mixed reactions on social media, with some finding it amusing and others criticizing her, ESPN and the WNBA.

Getty Images ''Why don't people want to watch the WNBA,'' one X user wrote in response to Awful Announcing's clip. Advertisement 'Add this to a long list of why no one takes @WNBA or @espn seriously,' wrote another. Another user brought up comedian Shane Gillis in the wake of his polarizing performance at the ESPYs on Wednesday. 'If Shane Gillis said that, they'd try to cancel him,' that person wrote. Defense remained optional in the second half as Collier's team won the All-Star Game 151-131.

Clark did not play in the game in Indianapolis after suffering a groin injury during a Fever game against the Sun on Tuesday that forced her out of a loss to the Liberty on Wednesday.
