[McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins]

❗️Despite the shuffling of shares, Steve Tisch’s involvement with the team — even if the league’s finance committee approves the transfer — is “status quo," a team spokesperson told @TheAthletic. -- @nathanfenno @KatieJStrang @AndrejevAlex

[The Athletic @TheAthletic]

The New York Giants have requested approval from the NFL’s finance committee for ownership transactions involving the Tisch family, according to a memo obtained by The Athletic.

However, the ownership transfer may not signal a substantive change in the team's operation.

"We were talking very fondly about you," Tisch wrote Epstein.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthletic: Emails between Jeffrey Epstein and New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch stand out for how singularly they focused on Epstein’s ability to connect Tisch with young women. There was scant talk about philanthropy or business opportunities. https://t.co/cYZlBderne

Eric “Spook” Earnest is one of the few people named in both federal gambling indictments which have rocked the NBA — and an alleged “longtime” friend of Chauncey Billups. How did the two men from widely different worlds link up? https://t.co/55JADorx6m
