Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the media possibilities being pondered by the Golden State Warriors. The team's president, Rick Welts, said the franchise that's opening a new arena in San Francisco is turning its attention toward content. Welts wonders what the team can create and distribute, and on what medium, if it can't show actual games. The ideas go beyond the Warriors as the new arena, the Chase Center, makes the franchise a live event production company. Also discussed is the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network dispute between the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles, who according to an arbitration panel must pay the former tens of millions more in broadcast rights fees. Also talked about is the XFL's television deals with Fox Sports and ESPN.
