Show Notes
Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the effect New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson's knee injury has on the NBA's television schedule. Williamson, the most heralded rookie since LeBron James, recently had knee surgery and is scheduled to miss up to eight weeks. The Pelicans are slated to make 30 national TV appearances this season, including last night's opener against the defending champion Toronto Raptors. Also talked about are the changing roles of Nike CEO Mark Parker and his Under Armour counterpart, Kevin Plank, both of whom are giving up their positions for different titles. And San Francisco 49ers President Al Guido joins the show to discuss the NFL team's policy of including most food and non-alcoholic beverages in the price of season tickets.
