    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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Media Monday: The NFL Bidding War
Q: How does the NBA deal with regular season games losing star players due to injuries or preservation strategies?
Adam Silver likely needs to address this balance as regular season games are losing engagement, impacting viewership and revenue.
Media Monday: The NFL Bidding War
Q: If a company, either a legacy media player or a new streamer, doesn't get the NFL rights, what might happen?
If NBC or probably more likely Fox or CBS are unable to hold on to these rights, I don't think it means it's over, but they will be very weakened.
Media Monday: The NFL Bidding War
Q: What are your feelings around the NFL media rights negotiations?
I think they'll be opening this up as soon as the fall, and the negotiation may see a lot of rights granted to new streaming companies.
Marco Rubio’s Munich Moment
Q: Why were Europeans so desperate to be reassured?
They were seeking reassurance due to previous trauma related to American foreign policy, specifically the Greenland crisis and Trump's threats to NATO.
Victoria’s Secret Truths
Q: What did it answer for you?
It clarified the nature of Epstein and Wexner's relationship, particularly around the power of attorney.
