Episode 585 of the Sports Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch features Neil Best, who worked for Newsday for many decades covering sports media, the NFL and  other topics. He retired from journalism in December. In this podcast, Best discusses what covering sports media was like for him over the last two decades; how he approached the job as a writer whose market was the No. 1 media market in the U.S.; the endless power of the NFL; why sports-talk radio was such an important topic for him; his time covering the Giants for time; working for the Anchorage (Alaska) Times; whether the streamers will ultimately get all the NFL content; why Newsday was one of the only places that staffed a full-time sports media columnist at a major newspaper; the future of this subject matter as far as a beat, and more.

The American media landscape is no longer about excellence, it's about ideological capture. In this episode, Ben Domenech dissects the radical transformation of our institutions, from the shuttering of The Washington Post sports desk to the decline of late-night comedy into humorless activism. Ben is joined by Fox News Congressional Correspondent Bill Melugin to pull back the curtain on the internal strife within the Department of Homeland Security and the fallout from the Alex Pretti shooting. Then, Winston Marshall joins the program to discuss the "soft imperialism" of the CCP and why Greenland has become the strategic frontline in the face of Chinese global ambitions.

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/   In today's episode, we're speaking to Suryansh Tibarewala, the co-founder of Essentially Sports.   EssentiallySports began in 2014 as a bootstrapped passion project started by Suryansh and his co-founders while they were college students in India. It started as a simple WordPress site focused on tennis and Formula One. The site ran for four to five years with virtually no revenue, relying largely on volunteer contributors.    But then in 2018, the site's founders decided to quit their day jobs and go all in. They expanded the sports coverage, found reliable advertising partners, and eventually grew EssentiallySports into one of the largest sports sites ranked by Comscore – all without raising outside capital.   In a recent interview, Suryansh walked through the site's early days, its expansion into US sports, and its B2B live events strategy.

Jason says info wars have permeated sports media and white athletes are taking shrapnel. Josh Allen is the latest example of the scrutiny and bombardment Caitlin Clark has experienced. LeBron James took “supposed” friendly fire from within the Los Angeles Lakers' organization in an ESPN article. However, he has been on the offensive for a time with the Rich Paul podcast. Steve Kim and Jay Skapinac join Jason discussing sports media info wars. Jay Glazer says that Mike Tomlin is done coaching and that Brian Flores has limited opportunities because of his lawsuit against the NFL. Adam Thielen shares that Tomlin told the team prior to announcing his resignation that he wasn't worthy of being the Steelers' head coach, and Ryan Fitzpatrick says the Houston Texans could be forced to trade C.J. Stroud. What is Stroud's market value? Jason, Steve, and Jay cover the spectrum today.

Veteran sports journalist and author Harvey Araton joins me on the show for a deep conversation on how sports media has changed, what true "access" used to look like in the print era, and why great storytelling still matters in today's sports culture. Harvey shares behind-the-scenes stories from a career covering elite athletics (including the NBA), plus his experience co-producing ESPN's 30 for 30: When the Garden Was Eden, a project tied to the legendary 1970s New York Knicks era.
