The NFL is the big dog and in this show we highlight two key data points. Data point One: Google via its YouTube brand paying $2 Billion Dollars a year for the Sunday Ticket in 2024 and Data point Two: How badly the NFL trounced the NBA on Christmas Day ratings, and that's with the NBA getting better numbers than the last few years. We discuss implications of the YouTube TV deal, trends in viewing and discuss how all other sports are just fighting for the NFL's table scraps. We close it out looking at what sports business stories will start to pop, or continue to simmer.

At the top of the show we post mortem the Congressional investigation of the NFL team that plays in Washington. A waste of tax payers money? The engine that forced the sale? Both? Next we look at the various settlements in the fall out from the failed Carolina Panthers practice facility in a South Carolina exurb of Charlotte. A boondoggle that went bust. We finish up with something that has never happened in the history of the show, we praise the NCAA. Listen to find out why.

Beat writer Rick Snider and his partner Matt Cones discuss the latest in Washington Commanders football, including last weekend's loss to the Giants.

The Commanders report was released, and there’s much rejoicing, but not really, and anyone who’s been following the saga closely didn’t get a whole lot of new information. The team is gearing up for prime time vs the Giants, again.
