I really want to know what sneakers Bomani Jones is trying to buy off a co-worker, but I think I have a correct guess.

Henchman of Santa posted:I thought DAZN was exclusively for combat sports? It launched in Europe with soccer, it was introduced a year later to Japan after gobbling up all the domestic soccer rights as well. I think boxing/MMA was their foot in for the US and I’d expect them to keep going once rights deals are up in the US. They already have NFL and college football in certain markets (I watched the Super Bowl on DAZN in Japan the last two years).

Jackie D posted:He used to own the main sports radio channel in town, but iirc he sold that off a couple years ago, and 980 has been eclipsed in this market anyway. Yeah I checked up and saw that afterwards. I’m not sure off the top of my head about NFL teams but I do know there are regional sports networks owned by the teams — but usually the baseball/basketball/hockey side, which makes sense, as they have so much more content to broadcast. I know the Mariners own their network, and the Kroenke group owns one in Colorado that carries the Nuggets and Avs. That sort of business model doesn’t work as much for NFL because there’s just 16 or so games to sell, and the live broadcasts are already on a main network.

The ESPN NFL Primetime highlights music is one of the better NFL-related tunes, and this is its best usage: https://mobile.twitter.com/briancgrubb/status/795708419965669376 Otherwise, I will jump in and say I still use “Roundball Rock” as my ringtone to this day, but will also ride for the music Fuji TV uses for Formula 1 coverage in Japan: https://youtu.be/08KVCJ-4-DY

I mean, does it track for a guy who has teams of writers but routinely changes the weekly shows the day-of, or even during the show? the best thing for WWE is if this fails and Vince eats poo poo hard and is forced to change, because otherwise they're bouncing on mediocrity to huge profits.

I’ve been standing by the spicy take of “I don’t care about the NFL offseason while basketball, baseball, hockey, and plenty of other things have ACTUAL games” for a good long time and it goes double now that I don’t care much for the NFL regular season itself.

Feels Villeneuve posted:cricket is also basically a year-round sport, with the northern hemisphere teams or southern hemisphere teams hosting matches and T20 tournaments depending on which side of the earth has summer or not, though they don't play nearly as many matches in total as club football (or baseball teams) Motor sports is effectively year-round, there’s not much around Christmas but basically only having December off from major events/series. Formula E, WEC going to the soccer season and the Asian Le Mans Series going from Nov-Feb overlapping with everything else going March-November means there’s enough in the northern winter.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:There's not much point watching Formula 1 this year. If you want open-wheel racing where legitimately 10 different guys could win any given weekend, IndyCar is right over there. If you want to watch Ferrari fanboys crying over their Italian team behaving Italian, then sure, watch F1. If you want the promise of F1 (the top manufacturers creating something and having a shot to win in wheel-to-whee action) then skip four wheels and watch MotoGP instead, this season has been quite good so far.

psyer posted:I believe DAZN has the J-League in the US, but they usually only show Vissel Kobe because Iniesta plays there. DAZN has the entire J-League rights for all matches from J1 to J3 in Japan, but yeah peak bird-brain was pushing Vissel Kobe vs. Sagan Tosu really hard because Spain. It sucks, because neither team has big national fanbases in Japan (Kobe is owned by Rakuten hence getting the former Barca player the year after their sponsorship started) so it's honestly worse than any force-feeding you can think of with American teams. (I still laugh so much about "Fernando Torres, striker for Sagan Tosu" because I have been to Saga Prefecture, friends, and even to a Sagan Tosu game or two, and it is not what people imagine when they talk about retiring in football to a year or two in Japan)

MourningView posted:Football wise it's been the weakest of the major conferences most of the time recently, and they're falling way behind in TV revenue which could percipitate that. It's also the one where the home markets tend to care the least about football so they generally have weaker ratings. I’m not sure I’d say “care the least,” but probably more fair-weather/casual in terms of intensity. Seattle and Portland both rode hard for UW and UO respectively in recent years, but that’s two cities and states that are smaller and not huge TV markets alone. Los Angeles had a pro football team during the Carrol years and were up for USC, but unlike [insert major school from eastern half of the US] there’s plenty to do other than be miserable at a mediocre team. USC and tOSU both would fill their stadiums if both teams have one loss, but only one would still be 90% full if both teams were 7-5. The PAC-12 Network deal also kinda sucks and isn’t as available as it should be, and the games are on stupid late for the eastern half of the country. So yeah, unless you have a PAC-12 team marauding to an undefeated record by week 10 or 11, the west coast is out of the conversation.

Dude is going to have a heart attack from working 300 days a year, whether on TV or out and about at events or games/matches/etc. It sounds like Stephen A is just 100% that guy all the time, for better or for worse.

iospace posted:Dan is one of three people who could get away with that who are currently at ESPN. Stephen A. and Bomani are the other two. I'm sure Bob Ley could get away with it but he's retired Bomani could make that statement but It would be a bit more measured. From listening to The Right Time and The Evening Jones forever, he’s gotten very careful about these topics in public. He’s also on the upward curve so doesn’t want to gently caress his money up, whereas I’m guessing if LeBatard got fired he’d bring the Shipping Container to do that as a local show/podcast and be fine, and get somebody else to pay for it.

tOSU has also had a real good year, and that pre-game show was leading into The Game which had some stakes on the line. Still going to assume Gameday needs changes and refreshing, based on the one weekend I was in the States this season.

I find it weird that they’re saying an average 330,000 viewers isn’t enough, but 360,000 or 400,000 is making the grade. Weird place to put the marker. The original one hour High Noon was good, and Bomani’s podcast is excellent.
