I’ll be fascinated to see who they get as hosts. Whitlock just started licking his chops since he'll find a way to get content out of this either way.

let us now salute the student broadcasters at Mississippi Valley State for going nuts at the team's win over Prairie View A&M last night to improve to 1-27. https://twitter.com/mid_madness/status/1762337442705686923

Bally Sports/DSG is not going away tl,dr: -Sinclair will no longer have any ownership of Bally Sports -Bally Sports would not be available via Prime Video, but possibly via an Amazon Channel -Carriage disputes should be resolved quickly -Teams will not be paid as much as previously, though

Edward Mass posted:Bally Sports/DSG is not going away There you have it; teams that aren't the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, etc. are gonna now explicitly reference this when they cut spending (afaik they've been coy about talking about the declining RSN business as it relates to payroll so far)

A lot of teams didn’t spend this winter, and if you take out the absurd amount the Dodgers spent then spending overall is not impressive There are still three major FA’s on the market, and one of them is the reigning Cy Young winner

The teams haven't said they're not spending because of RSN stuff, but now they're going to explicitly talk about it when pressed (which isn't really a valid excuse since the teams still make money, just a little less now)

Hi there from the AL Central where everyone’s terrified of spending money anyway, except for one who does it but sucks rear end at doing it Chicago. If nothing else, hearing the RSN excuse will at least be a new and fresh one.

They also never ever pay for pitching, which is half of the goddamn roster.

The older i get the more 70 doesn't seem old. However, having had some friends die tragically young I also think as much as dying at any point is terrible, if you make it to your 70's it was still a solid run. But watch, if i make it to 70 I'll be like "LET ME LIVE ANOTHER 25 PLEASE!!"
