  • Meadowlark Media CEO John Skipper and Nothing Personal's David Samson are back with another episode! Let’s start things off with LIV/PGA merger. Everyone’s talking about it. Everyone’s interested. But what is happening behind the scenes? (10:15) This brings us to foreign investments in bigger sports. The NBA has seemed okay with the idea of sovereign fund money. Should this be something that should be welcomed? (22:40) Messi is coming to America. What does this mean for MLS? What does this mean for Apple? (35:20) Is the XFL going to work? Will spring football ever work? Are you willing to tell The Rock it can't work?

    MLS wants a foothold in the US to make soccer as or more popular at least than Baseball. That would be a huge W. My kids already are more interested in soccer than I ever was as tweens. They both know who Messi is while trying to learn more about legacy NBA. So this will work, Apple has nothing but positive to gain.

      The PGA was already starting to be looked at regarding antitrust concerns. So seeing the one viable competitor combining with them just further entrenches the PGA as a monopoly in the sport. And it certainly doesn’t improve things that the investment comes from Saudi. I’d be surprised if the transaction goes through honestly. So many roadblocks it’ll have to clear.

    Don't know when this was recorded, but David u r wrong about Messi. Mike was the guy that told us first & knows & told us what actually happened. It was an Inter Miami deal! Messi did not go to Saudi Arabia despite a $1.3 billion a year offer because his wife told him she is not going to raise her 3 young children there. That simple. He has a home in S. Fl. They want to raise their children here (I live in Broward Co.). David you sang this same song on Dan's show & Mike set u straight. Confusing.

    If you guys are going to talk soccer, please have a clue regarding transfer fees which is obvious you are not familiar and are debating if signing Messi on a free transfer is better than bringing 25 EPL players 24-27 yrs old. A good player, not great, like Alexis Macallister from an upcoming team like Brighton just went for $80M, multiply that by 25 players to increase the league level and who will pay for that? Not even counting wages for those 25 players. Frankly, have a soccer knowledgeable person for this conversation, and please let it not be the fake Brit who is a great cheerleader but has no clue about business in soccer.
