The Long Winding Road Back For The NBA Finals' "Script F"

About this episode

The episode discusses the significance of sports branding, college sports legislation, and the changing landscape of sports media.

What's in a logo? A lot. Especially for a league and its brand. Good thing the NBA didn't try to make "Showdown '82" a permanent "thing." Nick Saban and others testify on Capitol Hill to "save" college sports. Which sports, tho? And would an NCAA football and basketball "super league" really be so bad? How come ESPN is selling off big chunks of its CFB inventory? Chicago Mayor, ALE theory fan. Sports teams are throwing away perfectly good stadiums after 20 years. Blame the Braves. A true "Happy Gilmore" situation at a USGA qualifier. MORE....
