a little optimism, positive attitude, and getting buy-in from your co-workers/teammates goes a long way to building successful outcomes. Not just in sports

...We look better than others

(Not the gif i was looking for exactly, but generally close)

With seasoned TV announcer Tom Brady joining the Fox football broadcast team, some expected changes were to be made Brady will be the #1 team with Kevin Burkhardt, at least until Fox figures out that maybe they shouldn't have thrown together a stupid contract and wiggles out of it Olsen will be paired with Joe Davis for the #2 team, making those games worth watching Adam Amin and Mark Sanchez are the No. 3 team Kenny Albert and Jon Vilma No. 4 Kevin Kugler and Daryl Johnston No. 5 Guessing that most of the Panthers games will likely be assigned to Chris Myers and Mark Schlereth No. 6 this season.

Not everyone can read every post

It's "the show the Pros watch" New season starts Aug 30th with Bill Belichick joining Ryan Clark, Chad Johnson, and Chris Long Kinda surprised he didn't hold out for the big network studio show bucks https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/bill-belichick-inside-the-nfl-the-cw-1236067346/

some may live too far away for a strong enough OTA signal, making cable/Peacock their best legal choice for NBC programming

Or differentiates individual owners vs owner groups

that's why I threw "individual" into the subject line. The owner group for the Commanders and the Broncos combined have more money than Tepp.

Jeff Bezos is looking to sell $5b of Amazon shares -- speculation is that he'll use that money to buy the Seattle Seahawks There is a chance that might fall through even if the owners approve the deal, as Bezos is still on the board at Amazon, and Amazon has NFL broadcast rights. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jeff-bezos-sell-5-billion-185303024.html

Today is National Bikini Day. Celebrate appropriately

Rumor is that with the current decision, each individual team will need to pony up $440m for their individual part. If so, it'll be easier for some teams to do than others I say that the NFL should look at the data and prorate each team's portion. "Your games were only watched by 6% of the Sunday Ticket fans? You get to pay less than this other team that was watched by 30% of Sunday Ticket fans" https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/in-sunday-ticket-case-some-owners-might-have-a-hard-time-coming-up-with-440-million

Supposedly, subscribers could get $340 for each season they purchased Sunday Ticket (assuming the ruling doesn’t get overturned or reduced through an appeal)

So for those of us who would love a Panthers-only Sunday Ticket offer... this was the first thing on the list that needed to happen

The plaintiffs insist NFL teams pooling their broadcasts through the Sunday Ticket, which is available through YouTube TV for $349/year (or less with discounts), violated antitrust law. The ruling could compel major changes to the league’s broadcasting arrangements, which last year accounted for 93 of the year’s 100 most-watched TV broadcasts in the U.S The NFL plans to appeal the ruling, which found the league liable for $4.7 billion to the residential class of plaintiffs and $96 million to the commercial class. The NFL also warned that if teams were compelled to compete in the licensing of out-of-town broadcasts, it would diminish the number of televised games available to fans. While the Sunday Ticket carries a cost, it ensures that fans can watch any game on TV regardless of their location in the U.S. If out-of-town fans were instead reliant on their favorite team finding a broadcast partner, some could lose TV access to certain games. In addition to appealing, the NFL will need to consider new broadcasting arrangements that feature teams competing in the sale of broadcasts. The league has maintained that consumers will be worse off without the Sunday Ticket but has economic incentives to ensure the NFL continues its broadcasting dominance—even if that means exploring new ways of teams televising games to out-of-town fans. https://www.sportico.com/law/analysis/2024/nfl-sunday-ticket-trial-decision-1234785934/

The Braves got a new ballpark with the 96 Olympics, moved out in 2017 to a different new ballpark. A solid 20-year run there

Met him twice, for a grand total of maybe 15s of interaction time, if that He was kinda not pleasant. Not mean, but not great either. Mrs Tepper, on the other hand, was super nice.
