    NFL owners prepare for a vote next month that could result in ESPN and the Walt Disney Co. acquiring NFL media properties, including RedZone and NFL Network. FOS newsletter writer Eric Fisher joins Baker Machado and Dan Roberts to explain the story behind this potential acquisition and how it could create new opportunities and issues alike.

    Plus, the controversial Polymarket—which allows users to bet on real-world events—is set to become legal in the United States. FOS reporter Ryan Glasspiegel explains the prediction markets’ brewing arms race and where large sportsbook operators like FanDuel and DraftKings could factor in.

    Also, Qatar’s bid to become the first Middle Eastern nation to host the Olympics, ACC commissioner Jim Phillips speaks, and ESPN will host 30 new sports, including soap Hockey and T-Rex racing.
