Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 1, 2026 is: amortize • AM-er-tyze • verb To amortize something, such as a mortgage, is to pay for it by making regular payments over a long period of time. // If you apply extra payments directly to your loan balance as a principal reduction, your loan can be amortized sooner. See the entry > Examples: “As part of some of the league's commercial deals—where companies pay the league for rights of some sort—the NFL has received equity or warrants. … The warrants are priced at fair market value on the date of vesting and amortized over 10 years.” — Jacob Feldman and Eben Novy-Williams, Sportico, 5 Aug. 2025 Did you know? When you amortize a loan, you figuratively “kill it off” by paying it down in installments, an idea reflected in the etymology of amortize. The word comes ultimately from a Latin word meaning “to kill” that was formed in part from the Latin noun mors, meaning “death”; it is related both to murder and a word naming a kind of loan that is usually amortized: mortgage. The original use of amortize dates to the 14th century, when amortizing was about transferring ownership of a property to a corporation, and especially to an ecclesiastical corporation—that is, a corporation consisting wholly of clergy. Such land was said to be in mortmain, which under the feudal system meant that the property was permanently exempt from a lord's usual payment collections. Mortmain is of course another mors word. Its second syllable comes from Latin manus, meaning “hand,” the implication being that the property was held in the dead hand of a corporation—a hand incapable of paying out.

We also explore the booming growth of WNBA valuations, the explosion of investment in women's sports, and why new leagues like Unrivaled, Athletes Unlimited, and the Big3 are gaining traction in ways other sports cannot. Kurt discusses: Why every NBA team will get a $40 million revenue bump Why reducing the number of NBA games is impossible How the Warriors became the most valuable franchise in sports The long-term impact of legalized sports betting and integrity concerns Why basketball is uniquely suited for alternative leagues How NIL is reshaping college sports and empowering young athletes What Juju Watkins investing in a pro team means for the future This episode is filled with insights about the economics of sports, team valuations, league strategy, and the media landscape that drives everything behind the scenes.

Since 1996, the value of the Dallas Cowboys has outgained the S&P 500 by more than double, increasing 47 times over to a world-record $12.8 billion. That's according to Sportico's latest analysis. Simultaneously, the team has failed to reach the NFC championship game over that same time frame — the longest such drought in the National Football League. In other news, a Dallas firm plans to give a historic downtown hotel new life in a first-of-its-kind project. Sycamore Development plans to renovate the 29-story Magnolia Building placing hotel rooms and for-rent, mixed-income apartments within the Dallas landmark; when Jane Gow was 13 years old, she fled with her family to the United States during the fall of Saigon. That collapse marked the end of the Vietnam War. Fifty years later, the former refugee is using her nonprofit shop, BeKinder Coffee, to help refugees and asylum-seekers build new lives in Dallas; and across Texas, doctors and patients say anxiety, confusion and legal concerns have transformed a routine adherence to standard of care into something new — a standard of fear. An anonymous emergency doctor based in Dallas said the state's abortion ban has created a world of distrust in doctor's offices. Patients don't know if they can trust their physicians. Physicians don't know if they can trust their patients. In “Standard of Fear,” we share doctors' firsthand accounts of the impact Texas' abortion bans have had on their practice.
