ESPN, NFL announce HISTORIC media rights deal! Here’s what you should expect next!

Today’s word of the day is ‘equity’ as in ESPN as in the NFL as in billions as in Red Zone as in Roger Goodell as in Bob Iger as in journalism! Let’s discuss what the NFL is doing, what ESPN is doing, and what the future holds for us all. ESPN is getting the NFL. ESPN is getting the WWE crown jewel events. Bob Iger says that journalism will live there… how? The NFL has banned smelling salts. Huh? Ah, concussion cover ups! Review: Captain America – Brave New World. Will Kyle Schwarber get a career payday? He’s in the final year of his deal now with the Phillies and he is MASHING! Devin Williams fell apart again yesterday. Devin Williams is bad. The Yankees are bad. Jake Bird, new acquired? Demoted! NPPOD. It’s So You Wanna Talk to Samson Wednesday! Let’s start things off with a message from my Mom!? She asked about my friendship early on with Red Holzman and Jack McKeon. What was the most important thing I learned from them. How much can a team trade in cash to acquire a player? Can you spend $120 million to acquire Paul Skenes? Service time manipulation! Let’s go! Someone asked me about Jose Alvarado and the statement that he released. Are you kidding me? The Dallas Stars own the hockey rinks around the Frisco area. It’s become a nightmare for the locals. Woof. Revenue sharing. How does it work in MLB? Is sharing a percentage of revenue with employees a good business model? The WNBA has a problem.
