#77: SPORTS MEDIA UPDATE: Breaking Down NBC Winning 50 Exclusive NBA Games on Peacock Annually; Plus, Predicting Where 'Inside the NBA' Will Land, and Bill Reignites His McAfee Feud
Description
Welcome to Episode 77! The WSJ dropped a long article today revealing many more details of the upcoming NBA rights deal. For all intents and purposes and barring a hail mary by Warner Bros. Discovery, this is a done deal.
In this show I assess why the Peacock exclusives are such a big deal, what this means for the future of streaming on NBC, why the NBA loves NBC (not just about the money), possible future media M&A due to this NBA deal, and I predict where Inside the NBA will land.
I finish up the pod laughing about today's BS Pod episode including Bill reigniting his feud with Pat McAfee.
We review the history of Bill Simmons and JJ Redick, dating back to 2010, that's led to Bill severely doubting the 2024 Lakers and saying JJ was a lunatic for taking the job - and why he's likely infuriated at their hot start.
