Matt is joined by John Ourand to discuss the multibillion-dollar NFL Sunday Ticket lawsuit
Matt is joined by Puck’s John Ourand to break down the multibillion-dollar NFL Sunday Ticket lawsuit after a jury in the U.S. District Court ordered the NFL to pay more than $4.7 billion in damages after the league violated antitrust laws in distributing out-of-market Sunday afternoon games on a premium subscription service, DIRECTV. John explains how this bill could actually balloon to nearly $15 billion under antitrust law, how this will affect Sunday Ticket’s new distributor, YouTube, and whether this could affect the greater sports media rights landscape (03:30). Matt finishes the show with an opening weekend box office prediction for Despicable Me 4 (24:26).
