Your local sports team should be on local TV. My grandpa who has been a fan since the team’s inception doesn’t have DAZN, won’t get DAZN, and wouldn’t even know how to work it if he did. That’s before you even consider the added cost of it. It’s a total joke.

🚨 'PARAMOUNT EMBARRASSED BY GARCIA-BENN NUMBERS'
👀 Dan Rafael on Zuffa Boxing: "I don't think anybody expected them to do big numbers off the bat. But I do think people expected them — including Paramount executives themselves — that when they brought a fight like Ryan Garcia-Conor Benn to Paramount and they had paid Conor Benn astronomical money for his first fight of his agreement to be on an undercard that was on Netflix and then to come and have a big main event on Paramount with Ryan, they had expectation to get some big bang for their buck and it was very telling that they did not announce any numbers for that. ... They were embarrassed by the numbers I'm sure for that fight. And it's cost them a lot of money."

very lively and fun new episode of @ttsgpod with Thomas Frank. @Tyler_A_Harper and I talk to him about his new book THE CREATIVITY CON. A whole lot of talk about the construction of the "creative class," his time starting the Baffler Magazine, and Obama. goodbye.substack.com/p/the-c…

At halftime of #Warriors-Lakers last week, a fan paid for a man's beer, thinking he was Steve Kerr. He was not.
Meet Steve Gillis (yes, Steve), the Kerr doppleganger who went viral. He's been dealing w/this since '98.
He swears he doesn't play into it:

Best example of this genre since the episode of 24/7 when Roger Mayweather pointed to a wall full of champions' portraits and reminded us all the greatest champions came from the Middle West

There's a reason people talk about a job at Bloomberg as a pair of "golden handcuffs." Great pay, nice perks, and a lifetime devoted to seeing whether you or someone at Reuters can be first to file a single sentence on jobs or energy data three seconds after it has been released.
