Welcome to The Sporting Class! Meadowlark Media CEO John Skipper and Nothing Personal's David Samson are back with another episode with host of Pablo Torre Finds Out ... Pablo Torre! We are live from Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity! The boots on the ground from the biggest global advertising meet-up. All colleges are trying to find new ways to bring in money, but Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark has an idea on how his conference can. The Big 12 has decided to sell the name of the conference and is looking to bring in private equity. Florida State wanted private equity for just itself. The Big 12 wants private equity for the whole conference. Let’s also discuss naming rights, what they are, and how/if that money is well spent. What else are we thinking about? Charles Barkley retirement? Paramount Global failed merger? NFL Sunday Ticket lawsuit? Tune in to find out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The madness continues as we barrel ever closer to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. Zaslow has left and the dust is slowly settling on the feud between Mike Ryan and Greg Cote, but now Dan and Mike begin taking jabs at each other. It's a 12-round battle on the show today, only interrupted by Dan taking a detour to discuss the rumored details of Stephen A. Smith's contract offer from ESPN. Before we head into the battle of our lives tonight in Edmonton, Greg Cote makes sure to explain to the crew what journalism is. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today's cast: Dan, Greg Cote, Jonathan Zaslow, Chris, Jeremy, and Mike. The Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers face off in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final tonight, so it's time for our (fake) pregame show. This is genuinely one of the most contentious episodes in the history of the show as the rivalries between Dan and Mike, Greg and Zaslow, and Greg and Mike are inflamed to a point of potentially no return. Mike and Greg argue to where the man writing this description is genuinely hoping some of it was a bit because it was *actually* horrifying. There are words like "idiot," "pal," "nobody," "clown," and "giant infant" thrown around. It's intense. This needs to stop. Please. Please... Please. At least let it stop before Roy stops by to break down the game near the end of the hour. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Juju is here for another edition of SpliffNotes and he is fired up after the Boston Celtics won the title. Before he gets to his victory lap for predicting The Finals perfectly, he takes out the show for being cowards after the Florida Panthers went from 3-0 to 3-2 very quickly. In a way only he can, he encourages the show to be confident in the Ice Cats and also shares his thoughts on the McOverrated celebration. Then, it is time to get his flowers for his spot-on prediction of The Finals and he does not hold back. Let my boy cook! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Did you know the cockpit was a "masculine generalization" of a word? Do you know who Justin Timberlake is? Do you have memories of the great Willie Mays? Then, P.K.

David Samson is here so we take a quick break from losing our minds over the Florida Panthers. Samson discusses Roger Goodell's recent testimony, taking advantage of the consumer during playoff runs, the price of a 16 oz. beer, Charles Barkley's retirement, and private equity firms ruining everything we know and love. Plus, JuJu is here to deliver his Thursday Thunder and chat with Tony and Mike about Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out concert for Juneteenth and how it created unity through hatred of Drake.

The breakdown of Game 5 and this entire Stanley Cup Final continues as we finally get to the stories of what happened ON the ice (and try to reverse Greg Cote's jinx).

Today's cast: Dan, Chris, Jeremy, Mike, and Tony. Welp. The personal relationships around our show are falling apart. Dan is seemingly happy that the Panthers have lost two straight games despite claiming to care deeply about the team, but he also "loves the fear." Mike has threatened to leave the company over Dan propping up Greg's asinine "McOverrated" take. Chris Cote is pooping himself. And, all while our production team is playing a rolling scroll of tweets about Greg Cote behind him and the ESPN broadcast is mentioning him by name, Dan wants MORE????????????????????????
