How bad is the trend of pro players coming back to college basketball? Francis Carlota joins me this week on the podcast to discuss the ever changing landscape of college hoops in the current era.

As gambling and prediction markets become more and more ubiquitous, is there a devolving of how we watch and why we watch games?

Substack has become a haven for sportswriters of sorts. A place where they can redefine their audiences. But there is a caveat. @adamtaylornba.bsky.social discusses the bottleneck of Substack and why growth on that platform can be difficult in today's landscape.

The issue of tanking has come up again, but is the outrage a function of timing in the sports calendar more than anything? Went long on NBA ranking in this week's episode of Deep Cover with Tone from the BME Pod.

Has the dominance of Fanatic created a bit of a fast fashion model in sports apparel? Lauren Teague of FanWagn joined me to discuss the way the market leader in apparel has shifted the calculus of the industry with their various aquisitons of other memorabilia and apparel entities.

Successful teams are often accused of having the refs on their side, where they become scapegoats of sorts. Brittany Stewart joined me to talk about why that is and some of the nuances that come with calling a game.

When we bet on everything, everything comes into focus in the lens of that ideal. Are we ready for the slippery slope that comes with that?

As sports journalism has been weakened, it's been replaced by influencer content. But has that shift led to more manicured positioning and less interesting stories?

Has NIL shifted the calculus for a lot of potential draft picks deciding on when to enter the draft? Francis Carlota joins me on the podcast this week to discuss.

We all love our fan gear, but how does sustainability fit into that picture? I talked with Lauren Teague, founder of FanWagn, to discuss how her company approaches making sustainability a core goal in an industry filled with fast fashion and textile waste.
