It's good and cool that they publicly call out the private equity ghouls trying to run the company into the ground

I'm guessing up next is the all patreon model. Edit: You know what my bad Univision went private a while back. J33uk fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Aug 2, 2019 |

I mean publicly traded isn’t any better than privately traded. It theoretically should be but in practice nah

I was googling around to see if The Starters found a landing spot yet, and kept finding various subreddits with questions like like "Should [media blog] add The Starters?" and the resounding message seemed to be that people apparently didn't actually like them. I thought they were the least offensive/controversial NBA coverer out there.

I thought they were the least offensive/controversial NBA coverer out there. I think it's one of those deals where people who liked them really liked them and everyone else was sort of confused by the whole thing. I remember listening to TBJ podcast back when it was like Skeets talking to Tas in his kitchen so the fact that it became what it was, even for a relatively short time, is still kind of insane.

Yeah I mean I almost never watched the show unless I was at work and could throw it on, since I don't have NBA TV at home. However the Drop Podcasts which were this year every Tuesday and Friday were/are always must listens. I think they're really chill guys who don't overreact and have a great and genuinely funny rapport. The thing I don't really understand from a Turner perspective is the rumors floated were a cost cutting measure, but they have these massive empty programming blocks on NBA TV that are basically filled with classic games and NBA gametime. And while its a handful of people salaried, I'm 100 percent positive the starters cost nothing to make.

the fact that deadspin's writers routinely write poo poo like that (their interview with Univision after they bought them, eg.) is one of the reasons I trust them 100x more than basically any other publication

Tom Verducci is calling the astros a small market 'upstart' team. Y'know, the team in that tiny city of Houston.

Smallest markets in the four major pro sports (metro areas, rough pop estimates): 1. Green Bay*, 318k 2. Winnipeg, 778k 3. Buffalo, 1.1m 4. SLC: 1.1m 5. New Orleans: 1.2m ... n-4: Houston, 6.7m n-3: Dallas/Fort Worth, 7.2m n-2: Chicago, 9.5m n-1: LA, 13.3m n: NYC, 20.1m So yeah, Houston wants to play the underdog card by virtue of being a  small market . People sadly eat it up.*Green Bay functionally is the whole state of Wisconsin (at the very least unofficially includes Milwaukee), but I digress. If you include Milwaukee... it now ranks above Nashville but below Indy, and still below 2m total.

Henchman of Santa posted:Green Bay also includes the UP That'd put the total, if you included the entirety of the UP, Green Bay, and Milwaukee, over 2m  What I'm saying is "markets are fluid" but more supporting the argument that Houston is NOT a small market.

Market can mean more than "# of people living around the team" though. Twin cities are the 14th largest market among NBA teams, but the Timberwolves are not an above-average NBA market. Atlanta is one of the biggest metro areas in the country but it's a city of transplants so the pro-sports market is much smaller. I'm still not sure I'd call the Astros a small-market team but I wouldn't say they are a bigger market than, like, the Red Sox or something just because the city has a larger population.

I think it's the Niners red. If the map was made from ticket sale info, I guess it makes a certain amount of sense that the geographically closest cities would "win" Alaska and Hawaii.
