In fairness the jump in viewership can be traced directly to games involving CC last season. Her games were nearly responsible for the entire percentage jump. An ACL injury would be devastating for the league.
The biggest growth potential for sustained success is to start chasing the female viewer instead of basketball fans. Prior to last season, their biggest fan demographic was old dudes (probably dads who grew up watching their daughters play or it’s their fetish).
The pressure will be on to prove a top 5 contract AAV is warranted.
That kind of money should demand 2019 Bregman numbers not 2024.
If he opts out and signs a 5/150 after a good season he still comes out ahead.
Yes, the race to the bottom is more compelling than the race for the title. Only 7 times has the title come down to the last match of the season, and the top 2 teams have never faced each other in a final match.
Paid $4k for my 2015 Sony 75 FALD display and still works flawlessly. Near OLED black levels. I have browsed some upgrades but just not warranted at this time.
i had previous failures with cheaper sets, and Sony’s mid to high tier of sets has come down in price significantly. Worth it IMO. Mattress/Couch/TV get the most non appliance usage in the home
He will need a 3 year 36 million dollar deal to match the Astros offer if he doesn’t opt out. Hard to imagine he couldn’t get that unless he turns into Jose Abreu
