Wait, they got out of Barstool while retaining half of any sale price in the future? That's a pretty damn good deal for them.

Also Barstool isn't permitted to advertise any sportsbooks, which was a big chunk of their advertising revenue.

Things are going great for the return of King Portnoy:

 

If this thread has taught me anything it is that all of these people can get another job,  because everyone is just recycling everybody over and over. Sports TV is a lot like sports,  you get hired to get fired,  but if you're not a total jackass, somebody else will hire you soon enough.

There seems to be a bit of confusion about that. According to the deal, they have a no compete, which might just mean they are not allowed to start their own sportsbook, not that they can't have other sportsbooks advertise with them.

I would imagine that it makes up the majority of the advertising revenue.

The only reason I'll stick up for it is they have out of local network NHL games, so that (via Hulu) is how I watch the majority of my Panthers games. 

For me,  it's that I past for ESPN+ but as soon as I try to use it,  it asks me to sign up,  then I make sure I'm signed in and I always am,  then I go try to read the article and it asks me to sign up again. I don't watch as much MMA as I used to, so I don't use the app that often. If it wasn't last of a bundle,  I'd just cancel the shit at this point.

Strange. I've been subscribed for years and I've never had that happen a single time. Only time I've ever had to log back in is when I get a new device.

Sage Steele is leaving ESPN after 16 years.  

Reminder - she had been suing ESPN (and Disney) claiming they had violated her first amendment rights

They settled that lawsuit and Steele said she decided to leave so "I can exercise my first amendment rights more freely"

So I am assuming that means she will be joining Outkick soon

So Charter Spectrum, the second largest cable provider in the country, and Disney are in a carriage fee pissing contest that led to all Disney owned channels going dark just about the time Utah and Florida kicked off last night.

With no ESPN just in time for football season to start, I can't see this going well for the poor people who answer the phones for Spectrum.

It appears Mina embezzled all of Mort's money.  

She's signed a new 'long term' contract.  Terms are believed to be around $1.7m per year for Kimes.

Be sure to check in on the worst dude you know today, he's gonna be having a hard time with this.

Just a devastating week for guys that shoot front-facing camera videos in the driver's seat of their truck.
