What goes into buying (and selling) a professional sports franchise? What are the ripple effects within a sport - and outside of it - when a team sells for billions of dollars? Donnovan brings on Bruce Schoenfeld, author of 'Game of Edges: The Analytics Revolution and the Future of Professional Sports', to discuss these questions - they take a look at the pending sale of the Washington Commanders, how that might affect team valuations across different sports, and also chat about the impact of analytics (for better or for worse) on front offices in every league in the world. Plus, Donnovan has a chat with David Thomson, Managing Director of NFL Canada, on the future of football in Canada, including the partnerships NFL Canada is cooking up for the coming season.
