Our first ever repeat guest is none other than sports attorney and podcast host Dan Lust (@sportslawlust) who joined us to discuss Deshaun Watson and litigating litigating high profile cases in the press.
We recorded on Monday morning and tackled all of the major angles of the ongoing sexual assault allegations brought against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. Although there were inevitably going to be updates between Monday and Wednesday, we wanted to address the tactics deployed by plaintiff's attorney Tony Buzbee, and why the victims in this case might be harmed by his decision to play the case out in the press and social media.
Dan also takes us back through the Zion Williamson legal proceedings from 2020, including a bizarre discovery period that was highly publicized by agent Gina Ford's legal team, and how that situation compares and contrasts with how Buzbee is approaching his cases against Watson.
Dan Lust is a Sports Attorney at Geragos and Co-Host of the Conduct Detrimental Podcast, and who can be heard regularly across ESPN, SiriusXM, CBS & FOX Sports.

We had the privilege of talking with a leader in her community named Tawanya Herbert. After playing four years of college basketball at Iowa State in the 1990s, Tawanya spent the past couple decades advocating for the needs of others within the healthcare and wellness space, eventually leading her to volunteer in progressive politics in her home state of South Carolina.

We were grateful to be in conversation with Jaime M. Miettinen — or you may recognize better by her social media alias "SportsLawBlonde" — as we discuss a large, bleak, and systemic issue: the Youth Sports Industrial Complex. Many economists believe this complex web of private interests is a marketplace already worth about $20 billion and growing in the wake of a pandemic that has been catastrophic to the public infrastructure.

Despite being knee deep in preparations for the 2021 Tulane Pro Basketball Negotiation Competition, we were thrilled to be joined by Basketball Hall of Famer forward Rick Barry. Our wide-ranging and lively discussion includes analysis of the greatest players of all-time, how the game is different than it used to be, and why players have so much more leverage in negotiations today than in the 1960s and 70s.

Seeing as we were joined by prolific sports and political journalist Patrick Hruby, we decided to dive into several significant topics. After spending about the first half hour forecasting what 2021 might look like for NCAA athletics — including what a conservative 6-3 edge Supreme Court implies could happen in the "amateurism" cases — we move to discussing Hruby's research on negative outcomes for black coaches in the NFL.
We recorded this conversation weeks before the EA Sports relaunch announcement in early February. Interestingly, however, we steer the conversation toward the Ed O'Bannon case and the video game company's decision to settle with the players for $40 million almost a decade ago. Look for that part of the conversation around 33:00.

In this week's conversation, we talk to entertainment lawyer, music industry professor, and entrepreneur Karl Fowlkes, Esq.

Always growing, Karl is slated to take the NBA agent exam in 2021.

We are thrilled to publish our recent conversation with sport historian, professor, former collegiate swimmer, and "End of Sport" podcast host Dr. Johanna Mellis. This is a wide-ranging conversation spanning topics such as the Cold War, the infamous "Blood in the Water" match during the 1956 Olympics, and both athlete defections from Soviet Hungary as well as examples of cooperation between the socialist state and its athletes in order to preserve ideal conditions for national sports programs.
