The mask in the car always got me. That is some serious fear. So much so, I don't know how they function. But then there are a lot of frightened people out there. If it wasn't going to be Covid, it was going to be something else. I just keep reminding myself that everyone is dealing with something. I got together with a childhood friend I do not see very often. He told me his wife still would not leave the house until they have a cure for long Covid. I thought it really isn't about Covid, is it?

When it contains a statement.

Is that not the case?

Isn't political valence a great term?

I read this today in my go to finance newsletter and thought of your comment: The syllogism is: Every bad thing that a public company does is securities fraud: The company did the bad thing, it didn’t tell shareholders about it in advance, the shareholders bought the stock not knowing about the bad thing, and when they learned of it they felt defrauded. In the US, politics are both polarized and totalizing: Everything that everyone does has some political valence, and some people will think it is bad while others will think it is good. Therefore everything that a public company does strikes someone as bad, and is therefore securities fraud. I don’t make the rules! I mean, I guess I did kind of make up the rule “everything is securities fraud,” but only as a description of what I have observed in reality.

Maybe....Maybe you can argue that on balance Trump was bad for Fox given that they ultimately paid $787 million to Dominion Voting, and probably have set aside assets to cover other liabilities tied to election lies, which are a direct result of aligning themselves with Trump. But given the absolute content gold he has been, and continues to be, I think you would be hard pressed to say he has been a disappointment to the networks writ large.

Well played, sir.

Dumb is your brand. It looks good on you.

What a dumb response

Correct. Big Eight turned into Big 12 when Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Baylor left the SWC to join the Big Eight. Remember the Southwest Conference? Also came apart over TV deals. The Athletic has a good article on this.

It looks like Barstool was causing Penn some regulatory hassles. For example, one of my favorite personalities is Barstool Big Cat. He comes on the local ESPN radio station regularly and is highly entertaining. Apparently, he is one of the main Barstool sports betting experts and his tongue-in-cheek named "Can't Lose Parlay" got them investigated by regulators in Massachusetts. But, I think PENN was mostly happy to be rid of Portnoy and all his controversy. Interestingly, it is PENN that is paying ESPN in this new partnership.

I feel inadequate.

Fox already tried with Fox Bet. They have just announced a few days ago that they are shutting it down.

Another way to think about it is these are the rules everyone else must abide by, so why not him?

Interesting question. Will ESPN push to have gambling lines on every event they have broadcast rights for? I think yes.

And your view on John Stamos is.....?

Was it a government definition? Or some other source? You specifically referenced shock at the government's definition.

You asked for the government's definition. I doubt there is a definition of extremism that does not include violence. It is the violence that makes it extreme, which I believe is part of the definition in that document.
