Advertisers will pay. Problem is espn is way too invested in cable fees. With too many people ditching cable, that is a huge chunk of money that can not be made up elsewhere.

Other networks will pay. You think Fox or NBC wouldn’t pay billions for NBA or Monday Night Football rights?

the bubble is close to popping. the NFL is set to re-negotiate soon. I think NBC, CBS and Fox will pony up the cash to keep their rights, but I’d guess MNF finds a new home (unless ESPN can secure better picks so they’re not stuck with a 3rd-rate product again).

But Donald Trump is still alive

Robert Kraft isn’t dead yet.

Okay, I’ll try for you. What is the point of this post? This is about a subtopic, not the issue of Hernandez.

Great, the Dodgers did that thing where they trade Pedro Martinez away again.

The A’s appear to have pitching (Kendall Graveman was outstanding in his last start). Now if they can just hit and field...

If Tony Romo’s can be a Maverick for a day, why not Jared Goff for the Lakers? He’s got even less of a future QB career than Romo.
