Episode first aired Friday afternoon and repeats multiple times.
Bettman on as season kicks off.... Yes, the league misses Crosby, but this is a team sport and they want him back healthy.
No, the league does not plan on "poach" NBA fans if the season is (partially, fully) cancelled. They'll be welcome to follow sport.
While the dollars of the new (Comcast) Versus/NBC Sports-NBC deal are nice, it's the distribution (e.g., all playoff games shown nationally) that really sealed the deal.
Briefly mentioned Phoenix ownership situation (no updates).
In other segments, the show discussed the NBA lockout. League now seems to be offering 50% of BRI (basketball related income), not gross (like NFL). They had a big name agent on to talk about the negotiations, possible future. Sounds like the league is "taking" more $$ without giving something in return to the players.
