There is zero chance of this. If the NCAA cartel is broken up then blue chip recruits will just collect their booster money above the table, not go play for the Memphis Blue Lives Matter.

Congrats to shithead Boston sports radio station WEEI and Alex Reimer, who have now managed to piss off Tom Brady after saying his 5 year old daughter was "being an annoying little pissant” in his documentary.

Right, and the cartel is not going away short of government intervention. There's too much money at stake.

I love my nephews but yeah when they were around that age good loving lord could they be annoying if they got into a mood.

That being said, there's plenty of material to go after Tom Brady in a 'Tom vs. Time' Facebook thing without insulting his kids.

Someone who ran herself off ESPN by being a horrible person, then tried to be a conservative commentator, which also didn't catch on because she's a horrible person.

An additional ~$2.7 billion on top of the ~$5.5 billion or so Fox is already committed to, when viewership is down across the board, is a hell of a bet.

the studios and entertainment channels are going

it's in line with the belief fox is going to be heavily dependent on live events

also it's for 5 years when the previous thursday deals were for a year or two, that's big

The deal is that Disney is getting everything except for the Fox Network, the Fox lot, some tv stations, Fox News, fox business, and Fox Sports (but the RSN's are included).

I stopped paying attention to him when he went on that insane rant a few years ago about Barry Bonds' Hall of Fame candidacy, calling the drama around Bonds and PED use the worst scandal in the history of baseball.

I will say that during the first couple years of the second Bush term there was something genuinely kinda cathartic about Olbermann's particular brand of self righteous ranting but as tends to be the case with him it wore out it's welcome pretty quickly
