We wrap the NFC divisions with NFC West Trinity (Episode 5)—breaking down every team's fantasy environment heading into free agency using the Trinity Tracker on ddfantasyfootball.com. We start in Arizona with the big questions (QB play, new OC, and the Marvin Harrison Jr. vs Michael Wilson market gap), then hit the Rams' concentrated offense and why their tight end room is still a trap. We finish with Seattle's post-title outlook (JSN at the top, what to do with the WR2 chatter) and San Francisco's wide-open pass-catcher room where Ricky Pearsall sits in a prime environment if he can stay on the field.

Everyone keeps comparing the AI boom to the dot-com era — so we decided to go down the rabbit hole and see what really happened.In this episode, Jess and I take you back to the 1990s — when optimism was sky-high, money was cheap, and anything with “.com” in its name could send Wall Street into a frenzy. We unpack the perfect economic storm that built the bubble, the wild timeline of events that burst it, and the investor psychology that made even the smartest people believe this time was different.Because before you can understand today's market manias… you've got to understand the first one.Key Takeaways:The 1990s were the perfect setup for a bubble: Low inflation, low interest rates, and a booming economy gave investors confidence — and cheap money — to chase risk. The Internet added excitement, fueling the belief that a “new economy” had begun.Technology changed everything — and everyone wanted in: The commercialization of the Web and the rise of companies like Netscape, Amazon, and Yahoo! made it feel like endless growth was guaranteed. IPOs exploded, valuations skyrocketed, and profits stopped mattering.Investor psychology took over the market: FOMO and hype replaced fundamentals. The phrase “irrational exuberance” wasn't just clever — it described the collective mindset that pushed prices higher simply because they were already rising.The media amplified the mania: Financial news networks turned investing into entertainment. Analysts became influencers before social media existed, and market updates sounded more like sports commentary than financial analysis.The bubble wasn't just about tech — it was about people: It was a story of optimism, greed, and belief. Investors convinced themselves “this time is different,” proving that markets run on emotion just as much as data.______________________________________________________________Ask Us a Question, Leave a Review, Follow, Subscribe:

We're headed into the sewers looking for love as we begin our new miniseries "This Whole Thing Smacks of Gender," in which we look at the romance of Hollywood's finest pronoun-based films - and we're kicking off with Andy Muschietti's blockbuster 2017 adaptation of (half of) Stephen King's IT!

NFL franchise tag season is heating up — and we're breaking down the biggest tag debates, value swings, and what it all means for the 2026 offseason. From Kyle Pitts and George Pickens to Breece Hall, we talk through the leverage, team fits, and what the next move should be. We also hit quick hitters like Tyreek Hill rumors, a few undervalued veteran angles teams should consider, then close with a Daniel Jeremiah Mock Draft 1.0 (Round 1 only) reaction — including early QB/skill-position talk and the picks that sparked the most debate.

OverviewThe promise of digital advertising was precision: right message, right person, right time. No waste. But here's the uncomfortable truth, while we've been obsessing over hyper-targeting, consumer behaviour has already shifted without us. 90% of Canadians now consume CTV. Less than 50% still have cable. And 60% of their time is spent on the open web, not walled gardens.The question isn't whether CTV matters. It's whether we're measuring it correctly, or optimizing ourselves into invisibility.About Vince is the Head of DSP Sales at Yahoo Canada, where he works closely with the country's top agencies and brands to achieve their marketing goals through Yahoo's advanced programmatic advertising platform. A 25+ year advertising veteran, Vince has deep expertise in programmatic, CTV, and data-driven media. He previously launched AdTheorent in the Canadian market and is an active voice in the Canadian digital advertising community through IAB Canada.LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/vincesimoneTimestamps00:00 - Intro - The unification challenge for marketers01:25 - Guest intro - Vince Simone, Yahoo02:32 - What's different about this moment in CTV04:05 - The evolution of CTV data - from freebie to foundational06:04 - TV is now just "video" - the pipe goes everywhere08:01 - Programmatic as the unifier - Samba partnership10:01 - The cost waterfall problem - fraud, duplication, inefficiency12:17 - What people misunderstand about DSPs (it's decisioning, not bidding)13:37 - Buzzword that needs to die: "Hyper-target"15:22 - The promise of digital vs. the reality of reach17:05 - Reverse engineering the customer journey18:52 - Is CTV actually about scale, not precision?20:21 - The persona trap - seeing people as fractions of themselves24:23 - Suppression lists vs. over-engineered targeting29:07 - Consistency as the multiplier across linear, CTV, digital31:18 - Dynamic creative optimization vs. many cuts34:00 - The 60/40 split - CTV in no man's land37:15 - The one metric to stop obsessing about: Last click39:07 - How the best marketers layer MMMs, lift studies, and last click42:10 - The "remove the logo" test for distinctiveness44:22 - Over-optimizing before campaigns settle46:00 - Dashboard updates vs. business data timing46:56 - What excites Vince: AI agents, Netflix inventory, unified systems49:20 - Where to find VinceShow LinksSleeping Barber Podcast: 8 Fundamentals of Effective Marketing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlJVEd9YXag&list=PL8Dcu1vikGN38ABGV4iuRQV1GmaAMvUSQ&index=1Yahoo DSP: https://www.yahooinc.com/our-solutionsIAB Data Label: https://iabtechlab.com/press-releases/iab-tech-lab-finalizes-data-transparency-standard-compliance-program-to-advance-data-collection-best-practicesANA Programmatic Transparency Benchmark https://www.ana.net/content/show/id/pr-2025-08-programmatictrans

Everything comes back in fashion. Why not the portal? Yahoo is a true legacy brand of the internet. An OG portal that failed to stem the rise of Google, missed on buying Facebook and for the last four-plus years has been a ward of private equity under the ownership of Apollo. It's also found the market turning in its favor in many ways.Kat Downs Mulder, svp and general manager of Yahoo News and home, joined me on The Rebooting Show to discuss the portal's comeback.

Are we flirting with upside… or fading the hype?

The king of the pushback -- it's a great title to have.In today's podcast, I talk with filmmaker Adam Neuhaus, who helped put together possibly the best brand in documentary, 30 for 30, and then bet on himself, founding Neuhaus Ideas and then The Nonfiction Hotlist. The latter project has continued to grow. March 6th, 2026 is the deadline for the Yahoo x The Nonfiction Hotlist partnership, which helps give a home to short docs.He is also involved in numerous nonprofits that help people get started in filmmaking, a sorely-needed boost when people need it to the most. That's the through-line of his career -- helping others. And much to his credit, pushing back on podcast hosts. That's my favorite type of guest.In this episode, Adam and I discuss:why extending a ladder -- or an elevator -- to people starting their careers is important to him;how he practically makes it work running his own company as well as companies like Nonfiction Hotlist;his start in filmmaking and journey from William Morris to creating puzzles;30 for 30's brand and what makes a great sports documentary;the issue of access in documentaries, especially sports;founding an "ideas" company versus running a production company;the amazing story of founding The Nonfiction Hotlist from a post on LinkedIn;why people were more amenable to accepting feedback as part of the application process of The Nonfiction Hotlist;sports films as part of the Hotlist and the importance of expanding your aperture about what a sports doc is;how film festivals actually work; Adam pushes back on the notion that a lot of it is determined by friends and pitching the programmers;why the Yahoo x The Nonfiction Hotlist partnership is such an important platform for short docs;what's next for him and The Nonfiction Hotlist.Adam's Indie Film Highlight: The 2025 Nonfiction Hotlist Memorable Quotes:"If you're feeling bad for yourself, give to somebody else, be of service to somebody else.""I decided to leave a...corporate job that I worked at ESPN for many years to give this a shot.""You need to find something that works between projects.""How do we find more durable systems for ourselves so that we stay accountable to ourselves, to the work we're doing? The only thing that I've ever seen really work in that way is consistency.""We're building a puzzle community. We're trying to build a large community, and then we don't need corporate dollars. We then could be able to sustain ourselves as an independent company.""I'm certainly entrepreneurial-minded. But it's certainly not easy.""A great sports documentary goes beyond who won and lost the game.""The projects that I'm less interested in are just the pure follow docs.""I call it an ideas company because primarily I am not necessarily looking to run production services for my company.""The challenge of a development company versus a production company is that development only gets paid when the project really comes to fruition.""When did we all start believing that everything has to take forever in this business? It's actually not true.""Fish your barrel before you start looking for generalized storytelling fans."Links:Follow The Nonfiction Hotlist On InstagramNeuhaus Ideas Yahoo x The Nonfiction HotlistThe Nonfiction HotlistSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

It has been an absolutely Awful Week for everyone who has been paying attention to the latest release of the Epstein files, both on this continent and around the world. We're taking a look at what the documents reveal about Europe's rich and powerful and whether any overdue reckonings might come out of the horrific revelations. On the brighter side: we also discuss a sitting president who does NOT want to be handed the Nobel Peace Prize. A win for us all!   Our guest this week is journalist Salsabil Fayed, co-author of the recent Follow the Money investigation “U.S. donors bankroll Europe's policy ideas through think tanks”. (Gulp.) What does it mean that some of the biggest American tech companies are financing some of the work of some of the most influential think tanks on this side of the Atlantic? Salsabil spells it all out.   This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are Fairphone and not looking at your phone in the morning. So…go out and touch grass.

Scott, Shane, and Ty are all taking the cold plunge to answer your trade and strategy questions? Any players you're defrosting after a month of hibernation?

Markets had a little “AI anxiety attack” this week and Wall Street responded the only way it knows how: smash the sell button and ask questions later. We break down the $285B Anthropic-fueled rout, why the “automation boom” is starting to look like an entry-level job extinction event, and how Big Tech's data-center dreams are already colliding with tighter financing and very real layoff math (looking at you, Oracle). Then we zoom out to the part nobody wants to talk about at cocktail parties: job cuts flashing red, wages getting blamed for everything, and a housing market that's still wildly unaffordable because the underlying problem never left — it just changed outfits. Add a little bitcoin weakness for spice, and you've got Episode 321: the reality check Wall Street didn't order, but absolutely needs.

How do you build a championship-caliber offense in your 2026 fantasy baseball draft? Joe Bond, A.J. Applegarth, and Corey Pieper break down the hitter draft strategy you need to dominate, covering core philosophy, positional scarcity, category targets, and roster construction mistakes to avoid. In this comprehensive strategy episode, we tackle the biggest questions drafters face: Is shortstop really that deep? Which hitting categories are hardest to recover? Should you lock in elite SS/OF early or wait for value? How do you balance batting average risk with power and speed? We analyze how MLB trends should shift your approach, which positions require early investment, and the roster-building landmines that derail drafts in rounds 1-10. Whether you play on Yahoo, ESPN, NFBC, or Fantrax in roto or H2H formats, this is your guide to constructing a balanced, lethal hitting lineup for 2026. Key Topics: Core hitting philosophy for 12-team leagues, hardest categories to recover, protecting yourself in SB/HR/R/RBI, positional scarcity strategy, when to address each position, common roster construction mistakes, balancing upside with stability Get the Edge: Visit FantasySixPack.net for complete rankings, custom cheat sheets, and Discord access.

Collate is building a semantic intelligence platform that unifies fragmented metadata tooling across the modern data stack. With 12,000+ community members, 3,000+ open source deployments, and 400+ code contributors, the company has proven that open source can be a systematic GTM engine, not just a distribution tactic. In this episode of BUILDERS, I sat down with Suresh Srinivas, Co-Founder & CEO of Collate, to explore his journey from the Hadoop core team at Yahoo, through founding Hortonworks, to architecting data systems processing 4 trillion events daily at Uber—and why that experience led him to rebuild metadata infrastructure from scratch. Topics Discussed: Why platform builders at Yahoo and Hortonworks struggled to drive business value despite powerful technology The metadata fragmentation problem: how siloed tools lack unified vocabularies and end-to-end context Collate's contrarian decision to build Open Metadata from zero rather than spinning out Uber's internal tooling Engineering an open core GTM model that generates nearly 100% inbound sales from technical practitioners Scaling community contribution: moving from feedback loops to 400+ code contributors Hiring a CMO to translate technical value into business-leader messaging without losing practitioner trust The convergence thesis: structured data, knowledge graphs, and semantic layers as the foundation for reliable AI GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Architect your open source for GTM leverage, not just distribution: Suresh built Open Metadata as a unified platform consolidating data discovery, observability, and governance—previously fragmented across multiple tools. This architectural decision created natural upgrade paths to Collate's managed offering. The lesson: open source architecture should solve a complete job-to-be-done that reveals commercial value through usage, not just demonstrate technical capability. 100+ daily practitioner conversations beats any user research: Collate maintains ongoing dialogue with their community across Snowflake, Databricks, and other integrations. Suresh called this "a product manager's dream"—immediate feedback on what breaks, what's missing, and what workflow improvements matter. For infrastructure startups, this beat rate of validated learning is nearly impossible to replicate through traditional customer development. High-velocity releases build credibility faster than pedigree: Starting from scratch without Yahoo or Uber's brand meant proving commitment through shipping cadence. Collate's strategy: demonstrate you'll be around and responsive before asking for production deployments. This matters more in open source than closed-source where sales cycles force commitment conversations earlier. Separate technical-buyer and business-buyer GTM motions explicitly: Collate's founding team spoke fluently to data engineers and architects who lived the metadata problem daily. Their CMO hire (after establishing product-market fit) brought expertise in articulating business impact—ROI on data initiatives, compliance risk reduction, AI readiness—without the founders faking business-speak. The timing matters: hire for the motion you're entering, not the one you're in. Play the long game with builder-culture companies: At Uber, internal tools were 2-3 years ahead of vendor solutions but became technical debt as teams moved to new problems. Suresh's advice: "Keep in touch with these larger companies. Your technology will improve and you will have better conversation with larger technical companies." The wedge is timing—catch them when maintenance burden outweighs building pride, typically 24-36 months post-launch. Design for all company scales from day one: Unlike Uber's internal metadata platform built for massive scale with corresponding complexity, Open Metadata works for small teams through enterprises. This wasn't just good design—it was GTM expansion strategy. Building only for scale locks you into enterprise-only sales. Building only for simplicity caps your ACV. The middle path requires architectural discipline upfront. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Fernando Mendoza is the consensus No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and this prospect profile breaks down why NFL teams will bet on him as a franchise-reset quarterback: high-end processing and timing in structure, ruthless efficiency in scoring areas, ball security, enough athleticism to convert when the play breaks, and the résumé to match it. We run through the tape-driven traits, the production profile, the “why it translates” discussion, and the most important part — what Mendoza becomes at the next level and why the Raiders make sense as the landing spot.

Our Chief Cross-Asset Strategist Serena Tang and senior leaders from Investment Management Andrew Slimmon and Jitania Kandhari unpack new investment trends from supportive monetary and fiscal policy and shifting market leadership. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Serena Tang: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Serena Tang, Morgan Stanley's Chief Cross Asset Strategist. Today we're revisiting the 2026 global equity outlook with two senior leaders from Morgan Stanley Investment Management. Andrew Slimmon: I am Andrew Slimmon, Head of Applied Equity Team within Morgan Stanley Investment Management. Jitania Kandhari: And I'm Jitania Kandhari, Deputy CIO of the Solutions and Multi-Asset Group, Portfolio Manager for Passport Strategies and Head of Macro and Thematic Research for Emerging Market Equities within Morgan Stanley Investment Management.It's Tuesday, February 3rd at 10 am in New York. So as investors are entering in 2026, after several years of very strong equity returns with policy support reaccelerating. As regular listeners have probably heard, Mike Wilson, who of course is CIO and Chief Equity Strategist for Morgan Stanley – his view is that we ended a three-year rolling earnings recession in last April and entered a rolling recovery and a new bull market. Now, Andrew, in the spirit of debate, I know you have a different take on valuations and where we are at in the cycle. I'd love to hear how you're framing this for investment management clients. Andrew Slimmon: Yeah, I mean, I guess I focus a little bit more on the behavioral cycle. And I think that from a behavioral cycle we're following a very consistent pattern, which is we had a bad bear market in 2022 that bottomed down 25 percent. And that provided a wonderful opportunity to invest. But early in a behavioral cycle, investors are very pessimistic. And that was really the story of [20]23 and really 2024, which were; investors, you know, were negative on equities. The ratios were all very negative and investors sold out of equities. And that's consistent with a early cycle. And then as you move into the third-fourth year, investors tend to get more optimistic about returns. Doesn't necessarily mean the market goes down. But what it does mean is the market tends to get more volatile and returns start to compress, and ultimately, bull markets die on euphoria. And so, I think it's late cycle, but it's not end of cycle. And that's my theme; is late cycle but not end of cycle.Serena Tang: And I think on that point, one very unusual feature of this environment is that you have both monetary and fiscal policy being supportive at the same time, which, of course, rarely happens outside of recession. So how do you see those dual policy forces shaping market behavior and which parts of the market tend to benefit? Andrew Slimmon: Well, that's exactly right. Look, the last time I checked, page one of the investment handbook says, ‘Don't fight the Fed.' And so, you have monetary policy easing. And what we; remember what happened in 2021? The Fed raised rates and monetary policy was tightening. Equities do well when the Fed is easing, and that's one of the reasons why I think it's not end of cycle. And then you layer in fiscal policy with tax relief coming, it is a reason to be relatively optimistic on equities in 2026. But it doesn't mean there can't be bumps along the way – and I think a higher level of optimism as we're seeing today is a result of that. But I think you stick with those more procyclical areas: Finance, Industrials, Technology, and then you move down the cap curve a little bit. I think those are the winning trades. They really started to come to the fore in the second half of last year, and I think that will continue into 2026. Serena Tang: Right. And we've definitely seen some bumps recently, but I think on your point around yields. So, Jitania, I think that policy backdrop really ties directly to your idea of the age of capped real rates. In very simple terms, can you explain what that means and what's behind that view? Jitania Kandhari: Sure. When I say age of real rates being capped, I mean like the structural template within which I'm operating, and real rates here are defined by the 10-year on the Treasury yield adjusted for CPI.Firstly, I'd say there was too much linear thinking in markets post Liberation Day. That tariffs equals inflation equals higher rates. Now, tariff impacts, as we have seen, can be offset in several ways, and economic relationships are rarely linear.So, inflation may not go up to the extent market is expecting. So that supports the case for capped rates. And the real constraint is the debt arithmetic, right? So, if you look at the history of public debt in the U.S., whenever there was a surge in public debt during the Civil War, two World Wars, Global Financial Crisis, even during COVID. In all these periods, when debt spiked, real rates have remained negative.So, there can be short term swings in rates, but I believe that markets not necessarily central banks will even enforce that cap. Serena Tang: You've described this moment, as the great broadening of 2026. What's driving this and what do you think is happening now after years of very narrow concentration? Jitania Kandhari: Yes. I think like if last decade was about concentration, now it's going to be about breadth. And if you look at where the concentration was, it was in the [Mag] 7, in the AI trade. We are beginning to see some cracks in the consensus where adoption is happening, but monetization is lagging. But clearly the next phase of value creation could happen from just the model building to the application layer, as you guys have also talked about – from enablers to adopters.The other thing we are seeing is two AI ecosystems evolve globally. The high cost cutting edge U.S. innovation engine and the lower cost efficiency driven Chinese model, each of them have their own supply chain beneficiaries. And as AI is moving into physical world, you're going to see more opportunities. And then secondly, I think there are limitations on this tariff policies globally; and tariff fears to me remain more of an illusion than a reality because U.S. needs to import a lot of intermediate goods And then lastly, I see domestic cycles inflecting upwards in many other pockets of the world. And you add all this up; the message is clear that leadership is broadening and portfolio should broaden too. Serena Tang: And I want to sort of stay on this topic of broadening. So, Andrew, I think, you've also highlighted, you know, this market broadening, especially beyond the large cap leaders, even as AI investment continues, I think, as you touched on earlier. So why does that matter for equity leadership in 2026? And can you talk about the impact of this broadening on valuations in general? Andrew Slimmon: Sure. So I think, you know, I've been around a long time and I remember when the internet first rolled out, the Mosaic browser was introduced in 1993. And the first thing the stock market tried to do is appoint winners – of who was going to win the internet, you know, search race. And it was Ask Jeeves and it was Yahoo and it was Netscape. Well, none of those were the winners. We just don't know who's ultimately going to be the tech winner. I think it's much safer to know that just like the internet, AI is a technology productivity enhancing tool, and companies are going to embrace AI just like they embraced the internet. And the reason the stock market doubled between 1997 and the dotcom peak was that productivity margins went up for a lot of companies in a lot of industries as they embraced the internet. So, to me, a broadening out and looking at lower valuations, it is in many ways safer than saying this is the technology winner, and this is technology loser. I think it's all many different industries are going to embrace and benefit from what's going on with AI. Serena Tang: You don't want to know where I was in 1993. And I don't recognize most of those names. Andrew Slimmon: Sorry. I was 14! Serena Tang: [Laughs] Ok. Investors often hear two competing messages now. Ignore the macro and buy great companies or let the big picture drive everything. How do you balance top-down signals with bottom-up fundamentals in your investment process? Andrew Slimmon: Yeah, I think you have to employ both, and I hear that all the time; especially I hear, you know, my competitors, ‘Oh, I just focus on my stock picks, my bottom up.' But, you know, look statistically, two-thirds of a manager's relative performance comes from macro. You know, how did growth do? How did value do? All those types of things that have nothing to do with what stock picks... And likewise, much of a return of an individual stock has to do with things beyond just what's happening fundamentally. But some of it comes from what's happening at the company level. So, I think to be a great investor, you have to be aware of the macro. The Fed cutting rates this year is a very powerful tool, and if you don't understand the amplifications of that as per what types of stocks work, because you're so focused on the micro, I think that's a mistake. Likewise, you have to know what's going on in your company [be]cause one third of term does come from actual stock selection. So, I'm a big believer in marrying a top down and a bottom up and try to capture the two thirds and the one third.Serena Tang: Since that 2022 bear market low that you talked about earlier. I mean, your framework really favored growth and value over defensives. But I think more recently you've increased your non-U.S. exposure. What changed in your top-down signals and bottom-up data to make global opportunities more compelling now? Is it the narrative of the end of U.S. exceptionalism or something else? Andrew Slimmon: No, I really think it's actually something else, which is we have picked up signals from other parts of the world, Europe and Japan. That are different signals than we saw really for the last decade, which is namely that pro-cyclical stocks started to work. Value stocks started to work in the first half of 2025. And you look at the history of when that happens, usually value doesn't work for a year and peter out. So that's been a huge change where I would say, a safer orientation has shown the relative leadership, and we have to be – recognize that. So, in our global strategies, we've been heavily weighted towards, the U.S. orientation because we didn't see really a cyclical bias outside. And now that's changing and that has caused us to increase the allocation to non-U.S. exposure. It's a longwinded way of saying, look, I think what the story of last year was the U.S. did just fine. But there were parts of the world that did better and I think that will continue in 2026. Serena Tang: Andrew, Jitania thank you so much for taking the time to talk.
