on track to surpass 25 billion, which was their goal by 2027, they're going to easily beat this number.

The wild thing is Roger Goodell made that estimate in 2010.

Wow.

Revenue was only $8 billion then.

I think the takeaway is the league is extremely good at predicting what this revenue is going to look like.

And because of the structure that we've talked about all episode with the way that the salary cap and the TV deals interplay and the length of the TV deals, it's just extremely knowable what the future of the league looks like.

Yeah, they're good at their job.

Okay, so listeners, this is a great moment to talk about one of our favorite companies here at Acquired, Sentry.

So pretty much any software problem that you encounter, and then, of course, fix them before users get mad.

And as their homepage puts it, it's considered not bad by millions of software developers.

Crashes can be a massive problem in AI.

If you're running a big compute job, like training a model, and one node fails, it can affect hundreds or thousands of servers.
