Nick is back, and candid as ever. This was a wide ranging conversation, as it always is, covering sports, media and political subjects. I wonder which aspects might get aggregated…Topics include but aren’t limited to:* Nick says our guy Freddie deBoer is mad at him. * I just bow down to the Kansas City Chiefs now. It’s easier. * Has the analytics movement devalued winning?* How does Nick feel about having a different politics than a lot of Kansas City Chiefs fans? * Would Nick have traded another Chiefs Super Bowl for his Bears pick working out? * How does Nick feel about having a different politics than Chiefs players? * Is politics any kind of proxy for how good a person is? * The NBA is flush with TV money, but is it struggling as a product? Do they need Nick’s reforms? * The MLB has some juice right now. Can baseball be made into a national sports talk show topic? * Can you hate your co-host and do a great sports show in the modern age? And much more…House of Strauss is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode.
