A lot of smoke around the Ringer and Substack -- why are Ringer writers launching Substacks vs... writing for the Ringer?
Substack CEO finally commented Weds: “We didn’t pay them anything and there’s no special deal.” @EllynBriggs@BenAxelrod@FOS

Had the chance to talk with two respected voices in the NFL Draft space: @dpbrugler & @Jordan_Reid on a few topics, including two QBs under the microscope for very different reasons.
On Brendan Sorsby: https://t.co/hygT2an5fc
On Arch Manning: https://t.co/1yFLlgjjA8

Brewers owner Mark Attanasio told FOS he backs MLB's labor proposals "in their entirety," including a salary cap and floor, as Milwaukee is in the World Series with a $154.7M payroll ranked 19th.
“This has been our goal for 22 years [since acquiring the club], to compete."
News: @Joel_Dahmen has added Jet Out, a Scottsdale-based private aviation company, to his sponsor portfolio.
I caught up with Dahmen to talk about the deal plus:
- 2028 PGA Tour changes
- Mic'd up players
- Full Swing memories
Full convo @FOS ⬇️

On tonight’s show:
Dak Prescott shares his take on the athlete who gets business right, and why he wants to invest in women’s sports.
And Ernie Johnson on the coolest person he's ever gotten to work with.

Scrutiny is mounting on the Cowboys and coach Brian Schottenheimer after a 2-4 start to the NFL season.
“That’s the territory,” QB Dak Prescott told FOS. “You can’t ask for the rain and be mad about the mud.”

"People see the car, but they don't see the face as much... [Personalities] is where people get attached."
NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin tells FOS what the American mororsports organization can learn from F1, and how it all starts with getting to know the drivers and teams better.
JJ Watt is officially Tony Romo’s full-time replacement at CBS.
Watt is now set to call CBS's next Super Bowl in 2028 alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson.
Year two of the renewed NBA-NBC partnership is off to a record start.
Opening-night games averaged 6.4 million viewers, the most-watched tip-off night ever.

Arguably the biggest talent in the World Series isn't a $100 million superstar.
It's Jacob Misiorowski, a baby faced fireballer with a Pokémon obsession and a near-league-minimum salary of just $788,300.

Substack's CEO says there is no deal with The Ringer, which four of their personalities have launched newsletters hosted on the platform recently, fueling speculation about a formal partnership.
“We didn’t pay them anything and there’s no special deal."
"Who would have ever thought in their wildest dreams that a fitness instructor would be able to provide for their family... Peloton did that."
Peloton fitness instructor and sports personality Ally Love tells FOS how pivotal instructors have been for the company's growth.
JJ Watt promotion is another example of David Ellison leaving CBS Sports alone as news and entertainment undergo big changes. Watt is David Berson’s guy. Berson also taking control of TNT Sports.
Will be interesting to see if Peter Rice has similar hands off for Netflix sports.
The NFL is considering making its instant replay review process available to viewers on game broadcasts and might do it as soon as this season. In @FOS. https://t.co/rAawtYWeAe
Asked @PabloTorre his reaction to *that* ESPN story from before the Clippers punishments came down:
"They didn’t ask for a comment, but once the story came out, I was informed that if you give us a comment, we will include it... it was disappointing that the comment I gave... was not included. The thing that was disappointing about that chapter was just that I’d worked with all those people. I had respect for all of those people. And there’s an opportunity to reach out to me, not that I’m owed it, but perhaps that would have saved a lot of people some headaches... I can only bring a horse to water on that." @FOS
Brendan Sorsby’s presence will loom over Saturday's Texas Tech–Cincinnati matchup, despite no longer playing for either of his former teams.
The Bearcats are suing Sorsby for $1M after he transferred for a $5M NIL deal; he is now ruled permanently ineligible for gambling.
Max Verstappen and Red Bull know the F1 title is out of reach this season.
But the four-time drivers’ champion has recently returned to form, signaling a possible resurgence next year.
