Biggest stories in sports this week:
Super Bowl LIX is set : Mahomes v. Hurts and co. Potential for the greatest Super Bowl ratings ever? Two huge fan bases with lots of fans!
Cooper Flagg continues trending as NBA number 1 pick for 2025: Flagg continues putting up number 1 overall worthy numbers, with the highlights to accompany. Which team will benefit next season in ticket sales by drafting him? Utah Jazz? Charlotte Hornets? Whichever team it is, those sales reps will have their fingers crossed and phones ready!
Houston Rockets, legit threat in the West?: The Rockets in their last three have beat the East leading Cavs twice and took down the defending champs Celtics on the road. Should the NBA take their marketing budget and put it into the younger teams like the Rockets? Time to shed the time and money used putting Lebron-Steph-KD on all the graphics and primetime games?
LA Dodgers, HOW MUCH can you defer?!: The Los Angeles Dodgers continue getting the top talent available by signing massive contracts and then saying they will pay it all later. Kind of like when you want an expensive pair of shoes and click pay in 4. Just me? Anyways - people are getting tired of it. Time for MLB Salary Cap talks??
