Robert IGer

 

In a deal that was just announced, The Walt Disney Company has puchased the rights to a huge chunk of 21st Century Fox. The deal is worth $52.4 billion in stock, plus $13.7 billion more in net debt that Disney will be taking on.

Now this isn’t something that should be seen as something small, because Disney will be taking over FX Networks, Nat Geo, YES Network (NYC), Prime Ticket, FS-West, as well as Fox’s stake in Hulu & Sky Plc, just to name a couple.

Fox will keep the rights to FS1, FS2, Fox News Channel, The Big Ten Network and Fox Business, but those will all be part of a newly listed company once the deal is finalized.

Disney made this move because there is a large amount of people cancelling their cable subscriptions and it was hurting their biggest TV draw, ESPN. This purchase will bolster their range, and also put them in an arms race of sort with streaming giant Netflix, because they will now own a good piece of it’s biggest rival, Hulu. The next 12-18 months are going to be very interesting.

Roger Goodell and the NFL has agreed on a contract extension. The deal is for 5 years $200M. Goodell, who is now in his 11th season as the commisioner and will be able to live out his years a very wealthy man. I’d accept $40M a year to be the fall-guy for a bunch of rich people (Jordan shrug). Ok, I would accept it but I wouldn’t feel good about it lol!

The Giants announced today that for the first time since his rookie season, Eli Manning will not be the starting quarterback for the G-Men. It’s been a disappointing season all around for the NFC East and this is no exception. Geno Smith will get the start after Eli Manning reportedly declined to start…I’m sure there will be more to come out about this situation in the hours/days to come.

World Series champion Jose Altuve added a new piece of hardware to his 2017 collection. Altuve is this year’s AL MVP after his Houston Astros finished the season as the champs. Altuve is only the 2nd Astros player to win MVP, the other being Jeff Bagwell. Now, on the flip side of things, Giancarlo Stanton (Marlins) won the NL MVP by just 2 votes over Joey Votto (Reds). Stanton finished the season with 59 home runs, 132 hits with a batting average of  .281. Stanton is only the 7th MVP whose team had a losing record.

Dallas Cowboys 2nd year running back has been suspended by the NFL since August 11, but with all of the legal proceedings that accompanied the initial ruling, the Ohio State product has not missed a game. That will all change this coming Sunday, as the the 2nd circuit court of appeals did not grant Elliott’s appeal for an injunction and he will absolutely be missing this game. And the beat goes on…

Andrew (un)Luck

The Indianapolis Colts (2-4) have shut down all throwing sessions for former No. 1 overall pick, Andrew Luck recently experienced some shoulder soreness, due to inflammation, and the Colts decided to shut him down. Luck hasn’t been officially put on IR, but for all intents and purposes, I believe that is where he will find himself sooner than later. Luck has been dealing with this same shoulder issue since Week 3 of the 2015 season. With Indy being a team going nowhere fast, it would be in the best interest of the franchise to just let Luck sit the rest of this season. I don’t believe they’re a playoff team with 12 on the field and it’s just not worth the risk. I’d would even go as far to say that if by some CRAZY reason, the Colts actually do make it to the playoffs without 12, consider him trade-bait in the off season, I’m just saying, I would not be surprised if it were to start being rumblings about an Andrew Luck trade in Summer 2018.

The Chicago Bulls and 3 time NBA Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist, Dwayne Wade have agreed to buyout on the final year of his contract. Wade was owed $23.8M for this coming season and will reportedly give back around $8M. It is widely expected that Wade will join his old running mate and C/O 2003 draft classmate, Lebron James in Cleveland. I for one think it is a foregone conclusion that Wade ends up in Cleveland but if not the Cavs, I could see him in San Antonio or going back to Miami. Stay tuned!

LeVeon Bell Ends Holdout

Steelers star running back Le’Veon Bell has ended his holdout and reported to Steelers headquarters but it has not been announced that he has signed his tender for the upcoming season, but one could only assume that Bell isn’t there just to be around his teammates and that he is there to sign his tender and get back to work. Look, when healthy or eligible Le’Veon Bell is probably the best running back in football, but the key words are healthy & eligible. Bell’s name recently was hot in the streets and it wasn’t because of his newest rap that he put out, which was trash by the way, but because he allegedly got his fiance & his side piece pregnant all around the same time, SMFH! That’s probably why he wants to be paid like a WR instead of a RB, because we know that receiver money is just lil longer than that RB money.

A Leg to Stand On: Ezekiel Elliot Situation

Last week it was announced that the NFL would be issuing a 6 game suspension to Ezekiel Elliott for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.  Now, this stems from an investigation that started last summer after Elliott’s then girlfriend, pressed charges against Elliott for domestic abuse but the judge ruled that there was not enough evidence to move forward with the charges. So, there’s a woman (of European descent) that is involved with this star athlete and she is photographed with noticeable bodily injuries that she said were caused by  Elliott, who is a 1st round draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys. So, during the investigation there were statements provided by the “victim’s” friends, that went against the claims of Miss Thompson. In fact, there are messages that Elliott himself has kept and provided the league with, in which Thompson lays claim that she will “Ruin his career.”

Look, I am the last person that will defend a man for violating a woman in any form or fashion, but if that isn’t enough to expunge Elliott from punishment, then what is it that the NFL found during their investigation? I know that the law can only do so much and the NFL has money longer than Shaq’s feet, which means that they spare no expense. The decision to suspend Zeke can’t solely be that they are unhappy with his actions, so he gets suspended, no there has to be a smoking gun for a suspension like this to be the final decision. And if I am Zeke, and I am sure of my innocence, then I am fighting this thing until I can’t fight it any more! Unfortunately for Miss Thompson and Zeke, they both will have to live the rest of their lives with this issue hanging over their heads, no matter who is right or wrong. That’s just the way it is until there is some sort of undeniable evidence to say otherwise.
