3/30 Keith Law (MLB Preview)
4min AL is better than NL because of progressive front offices - more money, smarter money, plus the yankees and red sox skew the balance. 6min mets have money, but they don’t invest in developing talent, and scouting. stupid money. 16min curious. baseball has a lack of crossover media stars. 21min a phillies-braves rivalry could take off. 28min around 2002-03 teams with money got smart...

bs: the 90% theory. once every ten times on bets, you’re just going to get screwed.
cm: you only remember the times you get screwed
3/23 Alan Sepinwall (TV)
24 what killed entourage was how everything came to easily to the characters, how everything was going to be wound up perfectly at the end of the episode. how to make it in america is nice, nice use of new york and a different side than sex and the city, and careful not to make it too neat and gimmicky like entourage

30:30 CK conspiracy theory: Nike and ESPN have the most to gain from a dual NBA-NFL strike. the void will be filled with soccer. ESPN needs another major sport (money money money, worldwide money) and Nike can sell soccer shoes - to both men and women. they are behind the lockout. BS is a manchurian candidate, being manipulated into loving soccer and writing about it to further espn’s...
3/4 Rick Reilly (Tiger)
tiger is the cheapest person. that’s the revelation that’s come out of this. his girlfriends ARE STILL WAITRESSES. he’s a billionaire with much to lose. he couldn’t give them a couple hundred grand?
if he hadn’t been so cheap, this wouldnt have escalated.
