8/13/26 - Lakers’ Shocking $12.5B Sale, Cuban Drops Mavs Suit, Field of Dreams Tickets Soar

8/11/26 - FIFA’s Infantino Under Fire, ESPN’s New 20-Team CFP Play, Bills Fans on New $2.2B Stadium
Q: Did Infantino commit an own goal with this rollout to commercialize the World Cup outside investors?
Margaret Fleming explains that the handling of the plan and its leak created a perception of mismanagement, contributing to significant internal doubts about Infantino's leadership rather than a simple business misstep.
8/4/26 – Pochettino's New Deal, Dodgers Load Up, Browns Pick Turf
Q: Eric, let's start with the Dodgers because not just Skubal, but always everything that the Dodgers do right now. We're in an era where that kind of leads the conversation and they spend the biggest.
Eric explains that the Dodgers' acquisition of Tarik Skubal is a strategic move with limited immediate cost that signals a broader spend-and-compare dynamic in MLB, highlighting how big-market teams' spending patterns influence labor talks and competitive balance.
