Florentino Pérez, Chairman of Real Madrid, is widely considered to be the architect of the now-defunct European Super League.  While the English were almost universally up in arms against the ESL and their fans ensured that it was over before it started, the view from Spain, and particularly, Madrid, is very different.  Real Madrid supporter Amit Nawalrai takes us into the mind of Florentino Pérez, widely considered to be the Emperor Palpatine of the ESL.  Are fans really bored of...

April 29, 2021 19:21 - 17 minutes - 31.3 MB

In trying to make sense of all that has transpired last week in European soccer, I reached out to a trusted friend who understands the game really well.

Hideki Matsuyama is the first Japanese golfer to with the Masters, and his country could not be more excited about that. It's a very wealthy economy, it's a country with over half of all golf courses in Asia, and marketing sponsorships pay out very well.

April 08, 2021 17:16 - 48 minutes - 66.8 MB

The NCAA's case that reached the Supreme Court in March of 2021 was somewhat predictable, and in the eyes of our guest, no strategically beneficial.

March 25, 2021 22:07 - 24 minutes - 33.2 MB

The NFL has just closed some amazing broadcast deals and accomplished its goal to double its revenue over the next decade. But, they're also lowering the salary cap, which means the teams' margins just went up. Significantly! This provides maximum flexibility for the ownership and less flexibility for players, but it will certainly be a sticking point at the next collective bargaining discussion. Patrick Mahomes & Rob Gronkowski have now successfully sold NFTs! Yes, the non-fungib...

March 15, 2021 10:00 - 36 minutes - 49.6 MB

Even with all the complaining some All-Stars did, the big NBA weekend was, buy most accounts, pretty successful. Most importantly, the stars had a really good time, and everyone could tell.

Our take is that college will not be a natural stepping stone for everyone, and we're already seeing some...
