Ryan, our nation’s preeminent sports media critic, is here to discuss reports that NBC wishes to offer the NBA a tremendous amount of money. What does this mean, other than that Adam Silver is our lord and savior?
Topics…
* Can Warner Bros. Discovery (TNT) possibly come up with a competing offer?
* What’s with WBD CEO David Zaslav sitting at Knicks-Sixers with Goldman Sachs tycoon Lloyd Blankfein?
* Do Barkley and the other TNT guys join NBC in this scenario?
* Irony of WBD needing the NBA most, but being most likely to be forced out
* Oddness of young Thunder players doing that “What a pro wants” ad
* Which TNT halftime guy is least essential?
* NBA playoff ratings are all over the map. New Nielsen system or something else?
* That traditional space at end of pod where we talk Israel/Gaza campus protests
* Are these protests being received by the public in a totally different way had Elon not bought Twitter?
