Are they actually owning the restaurant, or just getting paid to use their name? The latter is pretty much the only smart option. Although Ditka has a few restaurants in the Chicagoland area that seem to do well. Normal steakhouse, general American food kind of places.
In Kornheiser's case, they actually bought the bar/restaurant and they've changed the name from Chad's (formerly Chadwick's) to Chatter.

I was mad when he went to NBC because I felt the Tirico/Brown combination was the greatest NBA broadcast duo, and he's basically gone completely from all tennis coverage now too.
Umm Tirico was trash garbage on tennis coverage and I say that as someone who watches like 100 hours of ESPN's coverage of each slam.

Tirico is also Bob Costas' successor -- he's already taking over the Olympic desk starting with next year's winter games. NBC clearly has big plans for him.

I'm sure he won't complain about slumming it on TNF for a year or two if he gets to be the face of the network in the near future.
I wonder if Tirico thinks, like many, that the NFL has peaked.

"Because the companies are structured similarly with significant overlap, a merger could result in millions in cost-saving cuts that could enhance the bottom line. Learfield and IMG College each employ close to 1,000 people."

Welp, looking like 500 people are gonna need to find a new job.

Sports journalism is the biggest scam. The Niners scored 2 fewer offensive points aka the same, but is anyone talking about how their offense is "legit"? :rolleyes:

YoutubeTV cancelled Tennis Channel and only gave users 3 hours notice. All recorded content was also removed. Rumors are Sinclair, which owns Tennis Channel and the Fox Sports networks, is going to launch their own streaming service next year.

Considering live news and sports are the main reason why people subscribe to streaming package, I feel like the TV landscape is just going to get worse.

Other than money, why would Rinaldi move to Fox? Does he think he's going to become their Jimmy Roberts or something?

Oh yeah the event format itself doesn't help but this also smacks so hard of NBC doing that thing they do in the Olympics where they'd rather tell sob stories than show the actual events and the athletes themselves.
I constantly rail against the human interest stories in their Olympics coverage but apparently a lot of the viewing audience actually like them??
