NFL Week 2 is here—and after an offensive explosion in Week 1, Jo Madden says bettors need to be careful before chasing those inflated totals.

On this episode of Madden On The Line, Jo Madden, Vice President of Sports Gaming Media at CrossCheck Media Inc., breaks down the Week 2 board, beginning with a blockbuster Thursday Night Football matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions. The teams combined for 90 points the last time they met, and Jo examines whether another shootout is coming—or whether the betting market has already pushed the total too far.

After NFL teams combined for a staggering 791 points in Week 1, Jo's warning is simple: don't confuse explosive offense with betting value. She explains why rapidly moving totals can leave bettors paying a premium for last week's results.

Then it's time to attack the board. Jo breaks down Josh Allen, Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, Dalton Kincaid and the Bills-Lions prop market, before moving across the Week 2 slate with her angles on the Eagles-Titans, Steelers-Patriots, Vikings-Bears, Panthers-Falcons, Packers-Jets, Ravens-Saints, Bengals-Texans and more.

🔥 The lines have moved. The public is chasing points. Jo Madden is looking for the value.

The Federal Reserve has raised rates, inflation remains stubborn, oil is volatile and questions about the massive AI investment boom are getting louder. So where does that leave investors heading into the final quarter of 2026?

On this episode of The Money Path, host Todd M. Schoenberger sits down with Barbara Doran, CEO and CIO of BD8 Capital Partners, to break down the changing investment landscape.

Doran explains why she believes another Fed rate hike could arrive before year-end, while arguing that strong employment, consumer spending and wealth creation continue to make a U.S. recession appear distant. She also discusses why earnings could become the critical driver for stocks in Q4 as market valuations have come down.

The conversation turns to one of Wall Street's biggest debates: Is the AI spending boom sustainable? Doran says demand remains real, hyperscalers are still planning enormous capital expenditures, and supply constraints across memory and other critical components could persist for years.

Todd and Barbara also examine $100+ oil and energy stocks, why she views much of the sector as a cyclical trade, and where she sees opportunities beyond technology—including healthcare, consumer discretionary and financials.

Higher rates. AI billions. Oil volatility. Strong earnings. The Q4 investment playbook is changing.

Professional sports franchises are commanding Wall Street-sized valuations—but with billions of dollars at stake, ownership and governance are becoming just as important as what happens on the court.

On this episode of ⁠Franchise Value⁠, ⁠Shana Orczyk Sissel⁠, CEO & Founder of Chicago-based Banríon Capital Management and author of ⁠Tough Minded⁠, joins co-host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ for a deep dive into the rapidly changing business of professional sports.

At the center of the conversation is the Lakers transaction and its $12.5 billion valuation. Shana examines the potential implications of the Buss family's 17.8% tag-along rights, Jeanie Buss's position as governor and why an agreed transaction isn't necessarily the same thing as a completed transaction.

Then it's across Los Angeles to the Clippers, where Shana examines the NBA's penalties, Steve Ballmer's shift from defiance to accepting responsibility, the significance of losing first-round draft picks and what previous league disciplinary cases could tell us about what happens next.

The conversation expands into a much bigger issue: How involved should billionaire owners actually be in running their franchises? Shana explains why owners can influence culture and franchise value while still needing to surround themselves with experts—and why professional leagues are increasingly scrutinizing ownership structures, conflicts of interest and governance.

Plus, could Seattle and Las Vegas be next for the NBA? Shana breaks down how leagues evaluate expansion, why media markets matter and whether adding franchises threatens—or potentially enhances—the scarcity value behind today's enormous sports valuations.

And Shana previews her forthcoming book, Tough Minded, which combines personal stories with lessons in investing, behavioral finance, resilience and discovering the individual strengths that shape better decision-making.

The money in sports has never been bigger. Now the rules governing that money are being tested.

How much does corporate America really know about you—and what happens when artificial intelligence enters the equation?

On this episode of ⁠The Money Path⁠, host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ sits down with Alex Proctor, Chief Trust & Privacy Officer at ⁠Captain Compliance⁠, for a revealing conversation about the massive amounts of personal information consumers generate every day.

Proctor explains how cookies, cross-site tracking, targeted advertising and sophisticated digital profiles can follow consumers across the internet—even when traditional tracking methods are restricted. He also breaks down what you're really agreeing to when you click “Accept All Cookies” and offers practical ways consumers can reduce unwanted tracking.

Then the conversation turns to AI. What happens when an employee puts confidential customer information into an unauthorized AI platform? Proctor explains why that could potentially constitute a data breach, how autonomous AI agents introduce new opportunities for information to be improperly shared, and why businesses need guardrails before deploying these technologies.

Todd and Alex also examine the important distinction between privacy and cybersecurity, the growing regulatory and litigation risks confronting businesses, and why even companies with excellent cybersecurity can still have dangerous privacy vulnerabilities.

As AI becomes embedded throughout corporate America, one question is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore:

Do companies really know where their data is going?

Could one of college football’s biggest brands actually be kicked out of the SEC—and what would that mean financially for LSU and the most powerful conference in college sports?

On this episode of ⁠Franchise Value⁠, Shana Orczyk Sissel, CEO and Founder of Chicago-based Banríon Capital Management and author of the forthcoming ⁠Tough Minded⁠, joins co-host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ to follow the money behind some of the biggest stories reshaping the business of sports.

At the center of the conversation is the escalating confrontation between LSU and the SEC. Conference leaders are scheduled to meet Thursday to consider whether to expel LSU following the dispute over players who previously signed NFL contracts returning to college football. LSU ultimately filled its 105-player roster without the two former NFL signees at the center of the controversy, but SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey has indicated the broader membership dispute remains unresolved. Expulsion would require a two-thirds vote of SEC leaders.

Todd and Shana debate the question Wall Street would ask: What is LSU's SEC membership actually worth? Shana argues that the SEC's enormous media-rights ecosystem makes leaving the conference an extraordinary financial risk. Todd challenges that thesis by asking whether the LSU brand could eventually monetize itself independently through its own media operation. Their disagreement becomes a larger discussion about whether the most powerful college athletic brands are becoming media companies in their own right.

Then it's on to the Los Angeles Clippers, where the NBA imposed a $30 million fine, stripped the franchise of five consecutive first-round picks from 2029 through 2033 and suspended owner Steve Ballmer for a year following an investigation into salary-cap circumvention involving Kawhi Leonard. The Clippers reject the league's findings and plan to challenge the sanctions through arbitration.

Shana and Todd examine a fascinating valuation question: What's more damaging to a multibillion-dollar franchise—the $30 million fine or losing five years of first-round draft capital?

The conversation also turns to Roger Goodell, whose new four-season extension keeps him as NFL commissioner through the 2030 season and ends March 31, 2031—the same month the league's current collective bargaining agreement expires. That timing puts Goodell in position for another potentially transformative period involving labor negotiations, the possibility of an 18-game regular season and future media-rights negotiations.

Finally, Franchise Value examines the economics behind NHL expansion and why adding a new franchise can create a fundamentally different financial outcome for existing owners than simply relocating a team.

From conference membership and media rights to draft picks, franchise valuations and expansion fees, this episode asks the question at the heart of ⁠Franchise Value⁠:

What are sports' most valuable assets really worth—and what happens when the rules governing those assets suddenly change?

The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates again. Now Wall Street wants to know how far Chairman Kevin Warsh is prepared to go.

In this special report from Biz Talk Today TV’s Street Brief, host Todd M. Schoenberger breaks down the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 3.75%–4.00%—the central bank’s first rate hike since 2023.

The unanimous decision comes as the Fed confronts a difficult combination: persistent inflation and an American economy that continues to demonstrate surprising strength.

Todd examines the Fed’s new projections, including a higher 3.7% inflation forecast, expectations that inflation may not return to the central bank’s 2% target until 2029, and indications from policymakers that another rate increase could still be coming before year-end.

But the economic data creates an intriguing contradiction.

August retail sales surged 1.2%, while the Fed raised its economic-growth forecast to 2.3% and projected unemployment of 4.1%. Consumers continue spending and economic growth remains resilient—even as the Fed applies additional monetary restraint.

So what happens next?

Todd explains why the 25-basis-point hike may not be the biggest story for investors. Wall Street’s attention now turns to Chairman Warsh and whether today’s move represents a one-time adjustment—or the beginning of a broader tightening cycle.

The Fed just raised rates. The next question could determine where markets go from here.
