I asked Joe Flacco if the NFL has a quarterback development problem and he launched an impassioned take on how personal calls have changed games and hurt the position and sport.

"We signed up to get hurt, you might not like that but it's what we kinda did." Watch:

Meet Michael Rubin

He turned $2,500 in Bar Mitzvah money into Fanatics, a $30 Billion sports powerhouse.

Born in 1972 to a Jewish family in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania, Rubin showed entrepreneurial drive early.
• At 12, he started a ski-tuning shop in his parents’ basement.

• At 14, using his $2,500 Bar Mitzvah money as seed capital (and a lease signed by his father), he opened Mike’s Ski and Sport in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.

By 16, he was $120,000 in debt. He settled with creditors using a $37,000 loan from his father—on the condition he attend college.

He briefly attended Villanova University but dropped out after a smart deal: borrowing $17,000 to buy $200,000 worth of overstock equipment at a discount, then reselling it for $75,000.

He sold his ski shops and launched KPR Sports (named after his parents’ initials), a closeout company for overstock athletic gear.

• By age 21 (1993), KPR hit $1 million in sales.
• By 1995, it reached $50 million.

In 1998, Rubin founded Global Sports Incorporated, which became GSI Commerce—a major e-commerce and logistics player.

In 2011, at age 38, he sold GSI to eBay for $2.4 billion!

eBay kept the fulfillment business; Rubin bought back the consumer brands at a bargain, including Fanatics (licensed sports merchandise), Rue La La, and ShopRunner.
He became CEO of Fanatics and focused on scaling it aggressively:

• Secured major partnerships with Nike, NFL, MLB, and over 900 leagues/teams.

• During COVID-19 (2020), repurposed an MLB uniform plant to produce hospital gowns and PPE.

• Raised big funding rounds: $350M (2020, valuation $6.2B), more in 2021, then $1.5B +
$700M (2022, valuation hit $31 billion).

• Expanded into trading cards (acquired Topps for $500M in 2022) and betting/gaming (launched 2023).

From a teenage ski shop to a global leader in sports merchandise, trading cards, and more, Michael Rubin’s journey is a classic American Jewish entrepreneurial success story built on hustle, smart deals, and Values.

Little 4 month investment hopefully gonna pay off #12s

Not guarding JSN is quite the strategy

[Jeffrey Benson @JeffreyBenson12]

Yeah, Sean you do. To make us spend 30 mins to unbag and count your money so you can then film a 30 second insta reel only for you to then hand us back the money to deposit it into your account and we have to recount, restrap, and re-bag it again all while you have long lines of people around you trying to cash is childish behavior.

🚨How the Pelicans Lost Two potential very valuable 2026 Draft Picks

The Pelicans once held two potentially valuable 2026 first-round picks — their own and Indiana’s (top-4 protected). Now they have any.

How it happened:

New Orleans acquired Indiana’s pick from Toronto in the Brandon Ingram trade after Indiana had sent it to Toronto in the Pascal Siakam deal.

In June 2025, during the Finals, the Pelicans traded that 2026 Pacers pick back to Indiana for the No. 23 pick in the 2025 draft. One week later, Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles.

Days later, during the 2025 NBA draff, New Orleans sent that No. 23 pick and their own 2026 first to Atlanta to move up to No. 13 for Derik Queen.

With both the Pelicans (0-5) and Pacers (0-5) starting the 2025-26 season winless, those traded 2026 picks could end up as lottery assets, turning New Orleans’ aggressive gamble into a costly mistake.

Luka is best with a rim running vertical threat big or a pick and pop to the 3 big.. Lakers get a man that does neither of those and i’m sure will celebrate like they accomplished something

[Brandon Anderson @wheatonbrando]

I don’t know who needs Deandre Ayton, but it sure isn’t the Lakers. Awful fit.

Scoop
Ex-Pistons player Malik Beasley's money problems ran so deep he pledged his current and future NBA contracts as collateral in one deal and stiffed his dentist

That dentist started seizing part of Beasley's NBA paychecks in February https://t.co/xE1h8MHPzR @detroitnews
