PODCAST: Jake Bates comes up big // Lions make it work // Could MLB Blackouts end?

Show notes

Fletcher Sharpe is in the studio to talk all things sportsball!

Jet and Fletcher get into the rise of Jake Bates who came through clutch - a player who 18 months ago thought maybe his football career was over. We talk about the excellent win that showed the team can get it done, but that the Lions still need to go out and get at least a rest-of-the-season replacement for Aidan Hutchinson.

Then, Bally Sports is now named FanDuel Sports Network. But is the clock ticking on regional sports networks as a concept? The MLB Commissioner wants to end blackouts, something we know fans would love.
