Rick posted:The bubble is the only one of those things I think is good and they undermined it the next season by forcing games to take place where people had definitely been exposed to COVID and then further in the year when he leaned on cities to return fans to the building during the still currently ongoing pandemic. I think opening the door for direct Saudi investment, and not only ignoring the capture of their media partners by sports gambling but actually promoting it are terrible developments. All of your negatives are things that happened across US and worldwide sports, going out of your way to pin stuff that is universally happening on 1 commissioner doesn't seem particularly fruitful.

You can't pin gambling on Silver, that's a ridiculous take.

That Kissinger thing is rich guy brain poisoning, Kissinger's whole thing was making the world "safe" for capitalism. In the rich guy circles that Silver runs in that is an unequivocally good thing so of course he would talk about this great diplomat who just passed away instead of ya know a genocidal lunatic.

Is this just the media mad that they don't get to report on a bunch of rumors? People are actually mad the guy wants to negotiate in private instead of out in the open?

I kinda get it from the writers perspective. The other leagues have Free Agent Frenzy, the Deal Zone, and whatever else that drives interest. This is the Winter Meetings, there should be plenty of stuff for reporters to report on, but nothing is happening. It's not really Ohtani's fault the rest of baseball decided to collectively sit on their thumbs until Ohtani signs, but him slow-playing everything is kinda the crux of the dead period In other league, FA drives clicks and excitement, especially with the top of the line guys available. In MLB right now, its the opposite which absolutely does not help with MLB's perceived interest issues

FlamingLiberal posted:I tend to side with the media here. Ohtani is a public figure, whether he likes it or not, and I can’t think of any other MLB player ever having a free agency like this The last time it happened with someone of his stature was in the NBA when LeBron left the Cavs the first time, so he probably looked at that whole mess and decided to do the opposite.

Teams can use journalists to suss out others' offers and make sure they aren't going too high as well, so its in Ohtani's best interest to keep the negotiating in private.

Amazon looking to get into the RSN game https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/amazon-talks-invest-diamond-sports-wsj-2023-12-18/quote:Dec 18 (Reuters) - Amazon is in talks to invest in regional-sports programmer Diamond Sports, a move that would advance the e-commerce giant's aggressive push into sports content, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

If Amazon bought up all the RSN's, but effectively made all the content available nationwide, I'd bet they'd make money on it. Lots of people would sign up for MLBTV light with no blackout rules. They wouldn't have every market, but they'd have a lot of them. Depends on how they handle the whole thing really.

They could jack up Prime another  or so to cover this and a majority of people wouldn't blink at the raise.Take the money they won't be paying Not Top Gear anymore and spend it on the RSNs.

F1’s is/was a 15 second loop of various race track noises (pit stops, car go vroom, another car go vrooom) but played with a serene vibe. kinda nice background music, wonder if I can find it.

Sounds like one that one of the NHL services uses too, black and white close ups of things like the ring being prepped and just some background white noise. It’s far, far preferable to the obnoxious self advertising loops.

Sounds like the MLB "zen" segments they started doing last season. Just soothing, slow motion baseball ambiance. It's nice.
