- The Stanley Cup woke up at Elbo Room, took quick rinse in the Atlantic Ocean, went for a stroll on Las Olas, and is now feasting at Greek Islands Taverna. Next it will buy property in Fort Lauderdale and wonder why it ever lived in the north.
00:00 - BREAKING: Florida @GovRonDeSantis is signing the college athlete name, image & likeness bill. Effective July 1, 2021, college athletes in Florida can sign paid endorsement deals. FL jumps CA as 1st state to give athletes these rights. Honored to have been part of this effort.
- Breaking on @SportsAgentBlog: Nerlens Noel has sued NBA agent Rich Paul, claiming Paul is responsible for $58 million in lost earnings. sportsagentblog.com/2021/08/24/ner…
- Sources: Employees of Nike's EYBL grassroots division, along with documents, have been subpoenaed by FBI in furtherance of investigation
- 1. Hong Kong is going through much more than a “difficult week.” 2. A tweet can empower others as well, which #LeBronJames should know by now. 3. What happened was exposing China’s power over U.S. biz interests. 4. “Could have waited” is weak. Not how leaders speak.
- BREAKING: March Madness will take on a new meaning for us in 2022 😁😭
- Masai Ujiri has now filed a motion in federal court to countersue the sheriff's deputy who "perpetrated a fraud" by falsely claiming he was injuried during 11 second encounter. Countersuit claims excessive force, assault, battery & intentional infliction of emotional distress.
- Just heard 5-star linebacker Harold Perkins de-committed from Texas A&M.
- Traditional broadcast is dead. Traditional sponsorship is dead. You can hate on the Arizona Bowl's deal with @barstoolsports to stream the game exclusively but, as @EKANardini stated, this is a watershed moment for rethinking where and how games are broadcast.
- I’m in for the @MiamiDolphins going Miami Vice a la @MiamiHEAT, as mocked up by @UltimateEffects. I’d immediately purchase a jersey.
- Athletic departments earn payouts for bowl games, coaches can negotiate bonuses for bowl game wins, broadcasters receive ad revenue, sponsors open their wallets. But the NCAA says athletes can’t be paid to participate. There’s your fix. People want to say it shouldn’t be aboutKirby Smart: “People need to look what happened tonight and they need to fix this.” Strong words on the opt outs…
