Episode notes

Nick is back, and candid as ever. This was a wide ranging conversation, as it always is, covering sports, media and political subjects. I wonder which aspects might get aggregated…

Topics include but aren’t limited to:

* Nick says our guy Freddie deBoer is mad at him.

* I just bow down to the Kansas City Chiefs now. It’s easier.

* Has the analytics movement devalued winning?

* How does Nick feel about having a different politics than a lot of Kansas City Chiefs fans?

* Would Nick have traded another Chiefs Super Bowl for his Bears pick working out?

* How does Nick feel about having a different politics than Chiefs players?

* Is politics any kind of proxy for how good a person is?

* The NBA is flush with TV money, but is it struggling as a product? Do they need Nick’s reforms?

* The MLB has some juice right now. Can baseball be made into a national sports talk show topic?

* Can you hate your co-host and do a great sports show in the modern age?

And much more…
