Our man Glass is here to discuss an oddly contentious week in sports media. Prominent names are fighting, so we decided to give our takes on what the hell is happening. Topics include but aren’t limited to…
* Is Bill Simmons right that ESPN will fuck up Inside the NBA?
* Ryen Russillo draws ire of Mina Kimes over a harmless joke
* Towel snapping maleness of Inside
* Bill Simmons vs. Pablo Torre (A B.S. report with Pablo was released right after we recorded, so perhaps not history’s most contentious feud)
* LeBron James vs. Brian Windhorst
* How successful is LeBron’s Mind the Game podcast?
* Is there are a big audience for basketball strategy in a podcast?
* “NBA ratings don’t matter,” say people who seem to love when they’re up
* The “High Floor, Low Ceiling” theory of NBA viewership
* How big is the impact of small markets on viewership?
* Is Pride Month now Pride Day in sports?
* Why do sports teams tweet more about Pride than other corporations?
