Well, that's the hope. I don't know how happy the NBA is. I do think that there were other factors as well to this deal, which is the discovery process had just started and if this suit had gone on, there was the potential for a lot of confidential material and details about the negotiations to be made public. And I think the NBA didn't want that.

Agents look for any opportunity to open up a deal to renegotiate. So, yeah, there may be some more negotiations and more money to be figured out here and there. But most people feel pretty confident this will get done. I have to think that ESPN wouldn't have gone into this if they weren't confident that all the talent will –

Media companies are often tangled up in all sorts of business disputes and often said disputes are resolved by deals like this. I mean, this is obviously unique because it's a big popular show, but we've seen settlements of other legal battles where an asset might be traded to make a suit go away.

Yeah. This show has a unique place in the sports landscape and the media landscape. And that is what's kind of created this situation. It's not necessarily means that every pregame show, postgame show is of that same value.

For all the talk and obsession that we in the industry and people who cover it have with deals and who's selling what network to who and who's getting into streaming and what's that going to mean, it ultimately still comes down to having personalities that people want to watch.
