Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 226 ratings
  • Content is borderline at best. It's supposed to be a sports podcast & this episode is talking about tequila. For the most part, even on the interesting topics, it is just boilerplate Q&A where nothing insightful is ever offered. Also, the content itself is basically an ad, + the ads are ads. So, a lot of ads.

UEFA Pursues Infantino Criminal Case, Unrivaled, the Laver Cup
Q: What makes Unrivaled's funding round significant for the sports startup scene?
The $100 million raise and resulting $650 million valuation underscore investor appetite for women's sports platforms that combine elite talent with scalable, touring formats and premium fan experiences.
UEFA Pursues Infantino Criminal Case, Unrivaled, the Laver Cup
Q: What could the UEFA vs FIFA dispute mean for Infantino's future?
The hosts frame the case as part of a broader power struggle in governing bodies, suggesting that the outcome could influence Infantino's stance and the direction of leadership within global soccer for the foreseeable future.
ESPN Digital's Chris Jason Sees Growth in ESPN Fantasy Football Space
Q: Tell us about ESPN Fantasy moving to ESPN Fantasy and what it means for users.
ESPN has been a long-time partner with the NFL, and the move is about preserving the beloved features while expanding access across ESPN apps and living room devices, making it easier for current players to keep their settings and for new players to join.
Novig's New York Mets Partnership & Growing Sports Prediction Markets
Q: Can you walk us through the difference between sportsbooks operating at the state level and prediction markets operating at the federal level, and why that matters for Novig?
The federal government oversees event contracts, which lets prediction markets operate nationally, while sportsbooks are generally state-regulated; this distinction enables a safer, regulated, and more scalable environment for sports trading, which is essential for consumer protection and growth.
BONUS: Fireside Chat with Washington Commanders President Mark Clouse
Q: So how quickly can DC host a Super Bowl, given the stadium timeline and community process?
He indicates there are clear milestones and aspirations to host a Super Bowl, with the drafting season and events serving as proving grounds; the timeline depends on political approvals, readiness, and delivering a world-class experience to attract a flagship event.
