Listen now
Description
Professional sports are a business, in more ways than you might think. Player contracts, collective bargaining agreements, endorsements and stadium deals are some of the more visible business issues, but there are many other business transactions that surround professional sports all the time. While most of these "other" deals are relatively mundane, a few have become the stuff of legend. In Episode 14, Dave and Jeff take a look at three of these famous, or rather, infamous, business deals from the sports world.
