Overview

• On July 16, Russo returned to ESPN’s “First Take” to describe how a dispute with British Airways staff over his son Tim’s missing golf clubs led to police being called at Heathrow Airport.
• The clubs took two and a half hours to locate and were held overnight due to strict baggage protocols, preventing Russo from retrieving them.
• He challenged the staff refusal, prompting Heathrow officers to be summoned, but he de-escalated the situation and faced no charges.
• Earlier in his trip, Russo also criticized JetBlue live on air after his New York JFK flight was delayed and ultimately canceled.
• He has since resumed his regular broadcasting schedule without any reported follow-up actions from the airlines or airport authorities.
