The Hog Sty

We recap a week that saw Leonsis, Qatar, Joe Gibbs, The Orioles and more factor in a busy off the field/court/ice action for all things D.C. Will we be talking Ted vs Josh for the next 20 years? We wrap with a check in with the Oakland to Vegas sports franchise express.

With Alex out on vacation for another week, Dave and Steve discuss Josh Harris' investment into Joe Gibbs Racing, the latest in Washington stadium rumors, Kareem Hunt-to-Washington rumors, what we feel is the key to Washington's success in 2023, and do a Position Group Breakdown on Washington's quarterback group.

With Alex out, Dave and Steve tackle the latest in Washington's ownership situation, issues involving Fed Ex Field and a new stadium for Washington, a hypothetical trade for Chase Young, and do this week's Position Group Breakdown on linebackers.

We look at the general move of Saudi Arabian money into international sports. First up is the surprise merger/buy out/agreement (who knows yet) between LIV Golf and the PGA. From there we look at implications for the NBA, NFL and other sports. MLS and the the Miami squad recently out maneuvered the Saudis in luring Messi to spend his golden years playing in the USA. It’s going to be a bidding war with many battlefronts!

I am not sure but we go completely off the rails on this episode.

The coaches are getting created with Sam Howell at practice, good news about Forbes so far. Congrats to Shannon Sharp.

Building on Steve’s recent columns detailing the bizarre saga of Brian Davis’ attempt to buy the Commanders we go deep into Yamashita’s Gold, administratrix, bank drafts, and Ferdinand Marcos. Back to the semi-sane world we introduce you to the Raiders new President Sandra Douglas Morgan. Morgan is career gambling industry professional and is now running an NFL team. Where and how will you watch Big 10 and PAC 12 games this Fall? Well that’s TBD….

Well. Mid show we stop ourselves when we realize that there’s a level of crazy to this Brian Davis story that no one is talking about, why? Because this looks like cult money. We also talk training camp, Josh Harris, and the trademark. It’s a packed show.

We preview the rosters RB room. The NFL schedule was released. Some interesting tidbits int he ESPN story about the Harris teams prospectus

Right from the jump we talk about the Harris/Snyder exclusive contract. What that means, where we might be going. Maybe start icing the champagne? A bevy of new NFL media deals have made the upcoming season a funhouse maze of new rules and commitments. Let's try to make sense of it together. We wrap with a look at Punter bad boy Pat McAfee and his fast exit from FanDuel and maybe ESPN.
