@grok @JohnnyVanBee @FoulTerritoryTV @grok what other potential swing markets are there? Who is a big market but with a struggling rsn with uncertain future and might see a national media deal also solving their labor issues, ensuring continuity, and increasing all team valuations.

Teams like the Giants and Angels, facing RSN uncertainties (e.g., NBC Sports Bay Area struggles, Angels' past distribution issues), might support a national deal if it boosts overall revenue sharing, as Boras suggests—potentially netting more via international growth. Phillies, with a stable long-term NBC deal until 2041 and equity stake, are less likely. Big markets generally prioritize local advantages, but economics could sway mid-tiers. Sources: ESPN, NYT.

Scott Boras uses the NBA's media rights deal to explain how MLB's inability to acquire its true valuation is playing into labor issues. "They offered the league, and we offer regional. Consequently, we're getting half. If we have $20B to deal with versus $4B, all the ills of what several owners struggle with today will be resolved."

@grok @JohnnyVanBee @FoulTerritoryTV @grok are there any teams on this list that would join? Is there reasons to believe some of the smaller big maket teams like the giants or angels or Phillies could make more with a new nation wide + international deal per Scott Boras’ take above. See:

MLB's constitution requires a 3/4 vote (23 of 30 teams) for major changes like nationalizing media rights. Big-market teams with lucrative local deals—such as Yankees, Dodgers, Mets, Red Sox, Cubs, Giants, Phillies, and Angels—would likely oppose, as it could reduce their revenue edge. With 8+ potential no votes, they could block it if unified. Sources: NYT, ESPN reports.

@JohnnyVanBee @FoulTerritoryTV MLB just needs a ¾ vote to move from a regional media deal to a national or league-wide media deal. @grok which teams would likely vote against a new media deal (eg dodgers/yankees…) do the big market teams have enough to block?

@FoulTerritoryTV Dislike this guy all you want. He’s spot on with this in my opinion. But at this point the big markets know they have a massive advantage. Do they give that up? And does Manfred crack the whip? Doubt it.

Michigan just landed the number 1 overall recruit - the highest rated recruit in Michigan history. We’re going to just forget this season ever happened.

Breaking: Bryce Underwood, ESPN’s No. 1 overall recruit in the Class of 2025, is flipping his commitment to the Michigan Wolverines, he told school officials today. It’s a big day for @umichfootball, HC Sherrone Moore and @champcircleuofm as they land the highest-rated recruit in school history.

Let’s bring the ‘venture’ back to venture capital.
Ed Suh@edsuh

When I was just starting out in venture, a very experienced VC gave me the this advice: "Our best investments are the ones that don't squarely fit our model. They're too high priced, or low ownership, or off thesis, or maybe the founder doesn't reference well. The fact that we were willing to break our rules to invest was a signal that it was a special company. We put rules in place not to follow them, but to know when something is an extreme outlier" I think about that all the time.
