America was born here. Fitting it's having its best summer here too. FIFA World Cup. MLB All-Star Game. Donny Fightin's. 76ers buzz. Go Birds. Flyers hungry. Ben Franklin didn't rebuild โ he reloaded. Broad Street is BOOKED. ๐บ๐ธ๐๏ธโพโฝ๐๐๐ฆ
On today's "Game Over," Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul walked Max Kellerman through a whiteboard mapping out LeBron James' potential landing spots.

Feynman said it best:
"You must not fool yourself โ and you are the easiest person to fool."
Most of us apply that outward. To our work. Our industry. Our competitors.
@sahilbloom flips it inward. That's where it lands hardest. Good read. ๐ง โคต๏ธ

The things closest to you are the easiest to misunderstand. Your motivations. Your goals. Your "why."
@sahilbloom calls it the Zipper Test. And it hit me hard.
Do you actually understand how the zipper works? Or are you just fooling yourself into thinking you do?
The @ussoccer Google Doodle you saw today? It starts as a sketch. Goes through research, concepting, iteration. Then lives on world's most visited page for 24โ48 hours.

What a meaningful sports partnership looks like in 2026. Google doesn't just sponsor @ussoccer. It integrates #USSoccer brand into most searched real estate on the internet, on match day, at scale. Smart activation. Bigger statement. Let's go @USMNT! โฝ๏ธ๐บ๐ธ

Play: super-serve your super fans where you set terms.
YouTubeโs 500M subs = top of funnel. App is where revenue stacks.
Every creator, league + media brand should already be building its O&O DTC. (@sarafischer@christiiineee@axios) #AxiosMediaTrends

MrBeast going DTC is blueprint every IP owner should be watching.
O&O platform = first-party data, fan relationships algorithms canโt touch, revenue you control.
Social stays. As funnel. Not biz.
Most rights holders are sleeping on this: when algorithm changes, you donโt lose your audience.
