Not really. No breakup of LN/TM, so biz as usual for the most part. Bottom line, ticket prices will continue to escalate.

Tyler Linderbaum's deal with Raiders is in fact a monster. $20M signing bonus, $10M 2026 salary, $30M 2027 salary all fully guaranteed. His 2028 salary of $21M is injury guaranteed and converts to full guarantee 3rd day of 2027 league year. So $60M fully guaranteed at signing and likely makes all $81M. (Unless they want to cut him after one year and $60M)

We probably shouldn't be surprised, but it's still crazy to think that it has been 3 years since the Bears officially closed on the Arlington Park property and ... they still haven't broken ground yet.

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has been sued by 11 former Aspiration investors for using the company to pay Kawhi Leonard.
The lawsuit, obtained by FOS, was filed in July and initially did not name Ballmer, but he was added Monday night in light of Pablo Torre's reporting.
