Richard Condon... is a piece of work. So glad Matt Moscona got away from him before taking too much permanent damage from being around him.

I don't really have a strong opinion on Charles Hannagriff.

Lines like that is literally the only semi-redeeming thing about Condon. He has a million of them. He's a DWI and racist piece of poo poo, though.

Looks like FOX is planning to partner with FuboTV to have them stream the less important UEFA Nations League/qualifiying matches.

Do you mean AT&T SportsNet Southwest? Because I haven't been able to watch the Astros since there WAS a Fox Sports Houston.

I do mean that, I think? I stopped keeping up with the name changes a while ago, obviously, but I know we also get a Dallas affilliate.

Reminds me of when the Cardinals left KMOX for a couple years in the mid-2000s. The team decided they wanted to outright own their radio outlet (KMOX is a CBS O&O, and always has been) and bought KTRS 550, who had already made moves poaching KMOX’s morning team.

Problem is that KTRS struggles to get full coverage of the metro area, whereas the “50,000 red-hot watts” of KMOX’s clear channel feed were a big part of the Cardinals getting the following they have, for better or worse (as that loving Twitter account regularly shows). The experiment lasted a few years, and then the Redbirds were back on 1120 AM, though they still own 550 through a holding company.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Also reminds me of the Cubs leaving WGN after who knows how many years. They moved to the score, so it didn’t really impact their reach I don’t think, still seemed weird for a while.

Are there any good sports history podcasts or YouTube series? Beyond Jon Bois.

I'm looking for something to play in the background while I work on other things. I've seen a lot of Bois and am hoping there's someting a little less quirky out there.

NBCSN still shows Premier League, Peacock is only for the secondary games (Burnley-Watford 10am, etc) most of the time.

poo poo, the place I get my oil changed has it on, inexplicably, 100 percent of the time.

I'll drive past in the middle of the night and the lights are all shut off, but that TV glows to no one, showing whatever it is that is on the Golf Channel at 12:30 in the morning.

Also worth noting that golf gets good ad rates from companies that cater to upper-class Boomers. Watch any PGA event and note how many of the commercials are for poo poo like luxury cars and watches and investment firms, stuff they don't bother selling to the 18-49 demo because they know the 50+ is where the money's at. So NBCUniversal is probably getting a solid ROI with the Golf Channel, all things considered.
