Scott Soshnick and Eben Novy-Williams discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the latest controversy involving the New England Patriots. A film crew for the team was accused of illegally filming the Cincinnati Bengals sideline last weekend. Though the team has acknowledged its mistakes and denied anything nefarious, it's not the first controversy involving the Patriots and filming opponents. Also discussed is Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai's latest sports investment, a $10 million stake in European esports franchise G2 Esports, which values the team at around $100 million. Also talked about is the New York Yankees landing pitching free agent Gerrit Cole on a nine-year $324 million contract. It's the largest contract ever given an MLB pitcher, both in total dollars and per-year.
