Summary
Colin’s joined by Ethan Strauss, sportswriter and host of the “House of Strauss” podcast!
They start by talking about the revival of the Golden State Warriors brand to now being considered one of the top 5 most valuable franchises, debate how much of that valuation can be attributed to Steph Curry and agree he’s the most transformational athlete in American sports history (3:00).
They discuss Caitlin Clark being the “Steph Curry” of women’s sports and why the WNBA has missed opportunities to capitalize on her popularity (12:00).
They put on their business executive hats and pick their top sports events/leagues etc that they would choose to buy the broadcasting rights to or make changes to and Ethan identifies college hoops as a huge opportunity (25:45).
They pivot to ESPN dumping the broadcasting rights to Major League Baseball and question the move happening at a time when baseball has experienced a resurgence with star players on the biggest teams in the biggest markets (31:30). They also recount some of ESPN’s biggest whiffs in the past including passing on signing a rights deal with the UFC, and discuss the importance of avoiding confirmation bias in business, life and politics (39:00).
They dive into the story that Jeff Bezos is mandating changes to the opinion section at The Washington Post, debate whether that mandate was out of line and talk about why traditional media is severely lacking in self-awareness (1:01:15).
Finally, they discuss the rapid changes to government being made by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk and whether the media’s hair on fire response is overblown (1:10:00).
