Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Broomgate Introduces: The Big Bet
Q: Do you remember what that final figure was when you added up the direct and indirect projections?
Stephen Master recalls projections approaching $5 billion annually for the NFL, though the reporter later checked the original estimate and found it was closer to $2.3 billion.
Broomgate Introduces: The Big Bet
Q: Was it in the back of your heads that ultimately this would be a great sports betting business and maybe DFS could be a stepping stone?
Nigel Eccles says the possibility was there. From the UK, he saw the United States as a sports-loving country where gambling was popular but sports betting remained illegal, an unusual opportunity as other countries moved toward regulation.
E5: Sweeping Summit
Q: What does the spirit of curling mean to you?
The spirit of curling is good sportsmanship, win or lose. We’re all fierce competitors on the ice, but as soon as we’re off there, we’re all great friends.
