We are nearing the 10-year anniversary of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver writing a New York Times op-ed advocating for legal sports betting in the United States. Plus, the latest nuggets from campaign finance reports in the Missouri sports betting ballot battle (13:12) and why a new deal between Hard Rock Bet and Kambi bucks a recent industry trend (17:44).

"Legalize and Regulate Sports Betting," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver wrote in The New York Times in 2014. "NFL Betting Promos & Bonuses | Top NFL Betting Sites & Offers for Week 9 NFL Odds & More," USA Today offered readers in 2023. "Bookmakers break down NBA, NHL playoffs, big bets," reads a June 2024 Fox Sports headline. It's not an exaggeration to state that, since its legalization in 2018, sports betting and other forms of sports gambling have all but taken over American sports media. Increasingly, over the last six years, leading sources on sports news, including ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS, and NBC, have signed multi-million and billion-dollar agreements with major players in the sports betting industry, and launched suites of gambling-themed verticals, podcasts, and series designed to urge viewers and listeners to keep placing their bets, no matter the social costs. These media platforms claim to reason that, amid a shifting media landscape where cable channels struggle to adapt to the streaming era and legacy newspapers hemorrhage advertising revenue, partnerships with sports gambling companies help keep them afloat. But what does it mean when sports media are beholden to betting companies? Given the predatory nature of the industry, and the clear conflict of interest of sports media also being gambling pushers, what are the social and political costs to shifting sports from an admittedly already very flawed entertainment business, to a widespread peddler of increasingly unsustainable and gimmicky gambling opportunities? On this episode, we examine how sports media in the U.S. have increasingly embedded themselves in the exploding online sports betting industry. We look at the corrosive effect this has on sports coverage, the glaring conflict of interest this generates, and the moral hazards of a media climate (and state and local governments) that welcomes with open arms a regressive tax pushed by a notoriously rapacious and exploitative industry. Our guest is, friend of the show, The Nation's Dave Zirin.

DJ & PK talked about the NBA's collective bargaining agreement's apron system that commissioner Adam Silver is saying have given the league the parity they crave.

They also talk about his role as Dollar Bill in SHOWTIME'S hit series, BILLIONS, the obscure dialogue, saying goodbye after seven seasons, fan's love/hate for Pastor Tim in THE AMERICAN'S, and how his father's role as a U.S. Congressman impacted his life and career. Plus, two new shows coming Broadway – TAMMY FAYE: THE MUSICAL and STUDIO 54: THE MUSICAL, and Mase & Sue's review of Jeff Nichol's American crime drama, THE BIKERIDERS.

On today's episode I discuss the elephant in the room with the WNBA. I start by letting you listen to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver talk about Caitlan Clark who has received a lot of media attention. I think it is such a shame that in 2024 we are still talking about someone's race and sexuality. Who Cares? I also think the biggest issue on this topic is primarily the media. I read a column from Phil Mushnick of the NY post who is one of the few who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. I will not be watching the WNBA. The last few weeks has turned me off to their product. I will stick to watching women's basketball on the collegiate level! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Join Ethan as he breaks down the Denver Nuggets win over the Minnesota Timberwolves 112-97. The Nuggets are now up 3-2 in the series as they look to close out the series on Thursday in Minnesota. Nikola Jokic was the best player on the floor tonight for the 3rd straight game. Jokic had 40 points, 13 assists, and 7 rebounds to go along with 0 turnovers. He becomes the second player in NBA history to record 40 points and 10 plus assists to go along with 0 turnovers. Nikola continues to set records in the NBA on the night he was given his 3rd MVP trophy from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. When Jamal Murray did not have his shot going early in the game Jokic led the way. When Aaron Gordon got in foul trouble early in the 1st quarter it did not matter because Nikola Jokic led the way. That was the common theme tonight when the Nuggets needed anything Nikola Jokic was there as the calming factor. The Nuggets won tonight with their defense as well. The defense they played against Anthony Edwards was the best defense they have played against him all series. Stay tuned for the next episode which will come out Thursday following game 6. Hopefully Denver can win game 6 on the road to move onto the conference finals.

The Toronto Raptors' Jontay Porter has been permanently expelled from the NBA after a thorough investigation uncovered his involvement in passing inside information to sports gamblers, including betting against his own team. This stringent action came into effect after the NBA was alerted by licensed betting entities and a legal betting tracking organization of suspicious betting activities linked to Porter's performance in a game on the 20th of March, specifically against the Sacramento Kings. Upon careful scrutiny, the league found that Porter had relayed information regarding his health condition to a gambler prior to the aforementioned game. Extraordinarily, an individual known to be actively engaged in NBA betting made a daring $80,000 wager through an online sports book that Porter would fail to reach the general expectations set for him. Had the gamble paid off, it would have resulted in an astonishing win of $1.1 million. Surprisingly, Porter exited that game after a short three minutes, mentioning that he was not feeling well. His on-court statistics did not match the pre-set totals made in the extensive bet. Following this occurrence, the significant $80,000 wager was temporarily suspended and not redeemed, prompting the NBA to swiftly launch an in-depth investigation. The NBA maintains unbending rules when it comes to players participating in sports betting. In this case, Porter was discovered to have considerably infringed the universally accepted Collective Bargaining Agreement. It explicitly states that any player who bets money, directly or indirectly, on any NBA or NBA G league game shall be brought in for questioning, and the commissioner's decision is indisputable and binding. NBA's Commissioner, Adam Silver, bluntly reiterated that Porter's actions being egregiously obvious justified the ban. He was adamant that nothing tops preserving the honor and credibility of NBA competitions for the fans, teams, and every individual connected with the sport. Hence, Porter's gross transgressions of the gaming rules had to be met with the harshest possible penalty. Under Silver's stewardship, Porter marks the second personality to face a lifelong ban from the NBA, with the first being Los Angeles Clippers' owner Donald Sterling in 2014. This historical event evoked an air of surprise, particularly within the upper echelons of the Raptors' organization. Raptors President, Masai Ujiri, displayed shock and sadness over this unfortunate turn of events. He stated, 'Neither was this the anticipated future for the young player, nor a desired situation for our team, and definitely not an outcome that the league would prefer.' Ujiri added that the news was completely unexpected, catching most off guard. Later the Raptors put forth a statement asserting their full support for the decisive action taken to exclude Jontay Porter from the NBA. They appreciated the prompt resolution to the pressing investigation and pledged to cooperate with all forthcoming inquiries. In addition, the investigation brought to light that Porter had wagered on 13 different games, utilizing someone else's betting account with values that varied from a modest $15 to a staggering $22,000. Interestingly, none of these bets were on games in which Porter was a participant. Yet it was revealed that three of these wagers were multi-game parlays, and one of them wagered on his team's loss. Such findings raise critical issues regarding the existing regulatory network currently in play, particularly when it comes to bet types offered on games and player's activity. The NBA Commissioner Adam Silver identified the situation as an opportunity to consider the efficiency of the current regulatory framework. While he acknowledged the transparency brought about by legalized sports betting, Silver expressed concerns regarding suspicious betting patterns, re-emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring. Assuring league fans, Silver stated, 'Working alongside all relevant players within the industry, the NBA's commitment remains steadfast to ensure it does everything needed to protect its league and the integrity of the sport.' The Porter case serves as a stark reminder for everyone involved in the sport and beyond. It highlights the challenges of maintaining integrity within competitive sport when faced with the growing prevalence of sports betting and the lure of quick fortunes. As one of the major sports organizations, the NBA's swift and stern response sets a strong precedent for others to maintain vigilance and discipline in upholding the spirit of fair and honest play.
