ESPN/ABC broadcast Formula One over the NBA Playoffs on Sunday afternoon...which was a perplexing decision. Instead of broadcasting Game 7 between the Warriors and Rockets...ESPN broadcast the Miami Grand Prix. The decision to broadcast Formula One over the NBA...cost ESPN millions of potential viewers. We reveal and react to NBA ratings...and ESPN ratings for Formula One. We discuss ESPN launching their new streaming service this fall...and the potential impact it could have on the network. We also discuss the impact ESPN going DTC could have on cable...and how it's becoming prohibitively expensive to be a sports fan.

On this episode of Majority Rules, the gang starts off with everyone's favorite topic, Mizzou Baseball, which leads to a lengthy discussion between the group about whether Bieser should have gotten fired and how short KJ's leash is given the woeful season. Matthew and Sammy also have thoughts about the new turf announcement, Sam Horn's debut, and predictions on if they will win an SEC game this season. Rory is back and joins the group in real-time to talk all things Mizzou Tennis & Golf. Bianca Turati has done a really nice job with the tennis team this season, and the golf teams continue to shine under coaches Millican (men's) and Westrup Gaeta (women's). Since Karen has been focusing on gym, both Matthew and Dylan handle the softball updates, as they recap the pretty good (?) A&M series, which included yet another W over another no. 1 team. They discuss playing through injuries, postseason expectations (or not), and Madison Walker raking. Abigail then joins via video update with a quick recap of all you've missed in Mizzou Track & Field. There also were a lot of updates for out of season sports, as WBB continues to make news. Players with no eligibility are entering in the portal (insert Succession "You are not serious people" gif here), Harper lost the only incoming freshman recruit, but really, there's a lot of be excited for. The group chats briefly about who she's brought in, and how this is a sneaky good class that just needs a couple more pieces. Matthew shares volleyball and wrestling updates while Karen's wifi goes off the rails, before returning with all awesome news out of Gymnastics. There's so much to talk about from this incredible season, and it's all exciting (and somewhat infuriating regarding ESPN/ABC disappearing the team & some suspect scores) as they have left a mark on Mizzou history. Rory wraps up with a swim transfer update, and the team talks about Larissa Anderson's breaking social media post on the way out. Never a dull moment with this group and Majority Rules.

It's a HUGE culminating week for the NCAA Men's and Women's Tournaments, as the respective Final Fours will take place in San Antonio, TX and Tampa, FL this weekend.

Rives returns with takes on this past weekend's coverage and of course, some updates on the ratings. First what about the "Cooper Flagg Effect" for Duke helping the CBS/Turner audience numbers? And, just how big will the Saturday night semi in San Antonio with Houston be? T.J. has some thoughts.He also discusses the women's ratings and the expected dramatic dropoff from the humungous audience last year for Iowa's Caitlin Clark and her games. It's still a solid product on TV for ESPN/ABC, but there's now confrmation for good that Clark meant 4 and 5 times more audience for her games last year. There's more analysis on this.Then, T.J. talks the start of the MLB season and the coverage on ESPN, the tributes to the late Milwaukee Brewers great broadcaster Bob Uecker and the disastrous first A's game in Sacramento that saw technical problems plague the night for their first game in their temporary home against the Cubs.Next, a fascinating discussion on the announcers in this year's tourneys and leading to the all-time broadcasters to work a men's Final Four and a look ahead to whom are calling the Final Fours this weekend at the two sites. We do this with Phil de Montmolin, who's a great historian of it all and use to co-host the Announcer Schedules Pod with Mike Gill on this feed. T.J. and Phil reminisce on some great Final Four broadcasting nostalgia of their own, too.Catch it all on the "LWOS Media Podcast" and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify, etc.!

NBC Sports made its first foray into doing a National Football League (NFL) alternate broadcast on December 21 when it put the matchup between the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs into the realm of the Madden video game universe. It is the first time NBC has done an alternate broadcast of an NFL game. CBS has done at least one game on Nickelodeon since the 2020 season, while ESPN/ABC have the ManningCast as well as animated presentations featuring The Simpsons and Toy Story. “It's ironic that you want to make the video game as much as actual live play as possible and now you are doing the opposite of trying to make the real game look like the video game,” said Josh Helmrich, the NFL's senior director of media and Next Gen Stats. The altcast on Peacock blended video game elements—such as Madden 25 graphics, route trees, player cards, button icons on eligible receivers and player ratings—with live action. GeniusIQ provided real-time data via the league's Next Gen Stats. There were also times when animations from the video game—such as touchdown celebrations—were used instead of live action. NBC has used the “Sunday Night Football” games as test broadcasts to make sure all the technology was working, as well as build cohesion in the studio in Stamford, Connecticut, with the announcers doing the game. Paul Burmeister handled the play-by-play with Madden NFL expert Kurt Benkert and six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Ochocinco providing commentary.  Burmeister noted earlier in December that there would be more hardcore football schematic chess match talk on the altcast compared to what might happen on a traditional football broadcast. “I'm really excited to toe that line and weave this in to show how much parallel the game has to the real game itself,” Benkert said. “I think will resonate really well with the younger audience and with people that are used to seeing it in the video game that way.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

(22:50-32:06) – With the New York Jets firing their GM, it allows Jake to share something that he took away from watching the Jets on Sunday. He had the realization that they are in the same situation that the Colts were in a few years ago when they signed Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, and Matt Ryan. (32:06-41:43) – The first hour of the program concludes with Jake Query asking for help from listeners to find a Pacers hat that he has always wanted and the three guys sharing their thoughts on the Pacers loss last night to the Raptors.

They discuss the road struggles for Tyrese Haliburton compared to his home success, agrees with Jimmy that the Pacers can't rest guys periodically right now because of how shorthanded they are currently, and believes that Bennedict Mathurin is earning the trust from the coaching staff to remain a starter when Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard return. (1:04:38-1:15:58) – Yesterday ESPN announced that they will be continuing Inside The NBA next season. Jimmy highlights the information that we know right now about the move over to ESPN/ABC.

Holder acknowledges that Richardson looked more relaxed in the win, thought that Shane Steichen did a great job at involving AR's legs right at the start of the game to get him involved in the game, and admits that Shane Steichen grew up a little bit during Richardson's two-week absence. (1:50:35-2:00:22) – After discussing animals at the end of last segment, Jake continues asking questions about animals. Eventually, Jake and Jimmy shift back to the Indiana Pacers by highlighting their road struggles again. Eddie points out the upcoming homestretch that could turn their season around.

HA! I'm taking this ten notches above as I uncover ALL that's happening, and then some, as the latest podcast is here! On deck: (6:44) NFL Week 11 was intriguing with lots of questions to answer. Are the Bills the AFC's best? What about the Steelers after their win vs. Baltimore? Can the Chargers build steam as they're on a winning streak? How about the Lions? Are they the best team overall? Can the Eagles overtake them in the NFC? Will the 49ers not make the playoffs this year? And what I would do if I was the owner of the NY Jets? I will answer all of those questions and much more as it was a wild Sunday throughout the sport. (37:11) BYU suffered a huge loss at home to Kansas and possibly have them on the outside looking in as far as the college football playoff. Oregon survived a scare at Wisconsin to keep their #1 ranking. Georgia responds with a big home win vs. Tennessee and propels them back into the playoff picture. I'll have all of the latest as we're a couple of weeks away from the conclusion of the regular season. (44:32) Will anyone slow down or stop the Cleveland Cavaliers? It's quite possible that we could see that happen tomorrow night in Boston as they are currently 15-0. I'll get into the milestones of Chris Paul (12K career assists) and James Harden (second all time of three point shots made) and why I wasn't in favor for what Harden said after his achievement? TNT's Inside the NBA will go to ESPN/ABC after this year. Was that a shock? I'll see what else is happening throughout the Association as they're just about a month into the regular season. (52:08) All is relatively quiet on the ice as the Winnipeg Jets have cooled off losing two in a row in Florida over the weekend. Alexander Ovechkin nets a hat trick vs. Vegas last night to get to less than 30 goals (29 to be exact) to surpassing Wayne Gretzky all time for goals scored in a career. Then you have Connor McDavid who became the fourth fastest player to reach 1,000 points in a career as he did so a few nights back. (56:57) I'll spend a brief moment talking about MLB handing out their awards this week and Tampa Bay confirming where the Rays are playing their homes games next year. (1:00:11) Do I have to recap the boredom and absolutely flop of the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight on Friday night? Will Paul pivot to fight against boxers in the professional ranks? What about the undercard match between Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano? (1:05:05) Jon Jones continues to add to his UFC legend defeating Stipe Miocic in the octagon on Saturday night. Who's up next for him to battle? You may be surprised to hear who he has his sights set on.
