He said he could go pro in soccer.

Remember when Amare was in the dunk contest and Nash was doing headers and backheels to him. That was cool

On CBS no, but Nash wasn’t doing the Tottenham game on Sky Sports or the BBC either.

I could absolutely see Harry Kane doing a Patriots game on Sky Sports.

It also indirectly led to STL having a Sinclair station that doesn’t air news, thus keeping us from hearing all their bullshit

There was so much pearl-clutching going on when that deal was made. All these crotchety old sportswriters worried the network that ran The Simpsons would dishonor the shield.

That oral history was really cool, but it slowly dawned on me as I read it that the NFL deal gave Fox enough cache to launch Fox News and then I got bummed out because a generation later the effects are now widespread

I just finished Bad Blood, the book about Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. The whole thing is filled with examples of the very rich being very stupid while the experts are ignored.
