Show Notes
Elle Duncan has heard your criticism of Netflix’s MLB Opening Day Coverage. And as the streamer’s first sports anchor, she has something to say about it.
In this episode of The Deal, Elle explains to Alex and Jason that there is a difference between constructive criticism and saying something is “too Netflix” and there’s a balance between "eventizing" sports and covering them. She also shares why she left ESPN after a decade and what it’s like to be on a desk with the notoriously anti-media Barry Bonds. Then, Elle talks about her other new role hosting USA Network’s 2026 WNBA coverage and why the growth of women’s sports depends on investing in coverage and giving ourselves permission to admit that some players are just better than others
