    Sometimes I feel that they’re too smart to be as gullible as they around Bari Weiss. I can’t think of anything she’s done that they’d give her the benefit of the doubt headed into CBS. Also did they see the Erika Kirk interview? She was tossed softball after softball. Can’t believe they said she was “grilled.”

  • Notre Dame discussion

    Love the powers that be but I fear Hamby needs a bigger social circle. He says he doesn’t know anyone who doesn’t think Alabama would “gut” ND head to head. But before the final rankings, oddsmakers had ND favored over Bama (and Oklahoma and Miami too) on a neutral field. Also, ND had better odds than Bama to win the whole thing. Unfortunately, the committee left the hottest team in the country (except perhaps Indiana) out of the playoff. It’s a shame.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can ParaBros Keep the NFL?
Q: How do streaming platforms like YouTube and Netflix factor into the NFL rights landscape going forward?
Streaming platforms bring stronger advertising capabilities and alternative ways to reach fans, suggesting they will seek larger packages beyond current holdings. The trend is toward more content being made available to streamers, with potential for bigger, multi-platform deals that leverage advanced advertising tech and global reach.
Can ParaBros Keep the NFL?
Q: Why is there a push to possibly reopen NFL contracts early, and what dynamics affect that decision?
Reopening contracts early could raise costs but offer longer visibility and strategic flexibility for networks and the league. The decision hinges on maintaining the right balance between getting more value from the rights and preserving healthy partnerships, with the risk that overpaying could hinder other strategic investments in sports or programming.
Can ParaBros Keep the NFL?
Q: What makes the NFL rights so valuable, especially compared to NBA rights, and how do networks think about the cost per viewer hour?
The NFL content drives engagement and revenue through both advertising and subscriptions, but its cost per viewer hour remains lower than the NBA's despite massive absolute rights costs. Networks must balance long-term growth with sustainable payments, recognizing that the NFL's ecosystem—with multiple partners and expanding distribution—creates broad consumer engagement that supports subscriptions and ad sales, even if bidding remains intense.
Trump’s A.I. Army
Q: So what is OpenAI actually doing now with the Pentagon?
OpenAI signed a contract with the DoD but later faced scrutiny and public backlash over the terms, signaling a cautious path where both military needs and public accountability are being negotiated, with ongoing debates about what is permissible in surveillance and autonomous warfare.
Don’t Mess With Texas: Primary Edition!
Q: How is Jasmine Crockett influencing Hispanic turnout and the urban-rural split in Texas politics?
Crockett is gaining strong support among Black voters and urban majorities while Talarico targets white suburban voters and mainline Protestants in rural areas, potentially splitting turnout and reshaping coalition dynamics.
