The Sporting Class: The Trade That Kept Inside the NBA Alive

Welcome to The Sporting Class! Meadowlark Media CEO John Skipper and Nothing Personal's David Samson are back with another episode with host of Pablo Torre Finds Out ... Pablo Torre! We’ve been on a year-long climb up the mountain top of the NBA broadcast rights deal journey and we’ve reached the peak. Inside the NBA is not going anywhere… except it will now be on ESPN starting next year. How did we get here? Why did Disney make this deal with Warner Bros. Discovery? Is this the end of the drama? This brings us back to a little trade that John Skipper had done back in 2005 and it’s all about a cartoon rabbit! Negotiations, talent, agents, contracts: It's not fun, but a necessary part of the business. Stephen A. Smith is currently in talks for a new mega contract with ESPN. How is this getting worked out? The College Football Playoff is almost set and it’s come with drama. The four-team playoff was a mess and it’s out. The 12-team was supposed to be the best and of course it finds itself in more drama. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
