DP & McGhee welcome award-winning filmmaker, Josh Altman to discuss his new docuseries, Earnhart, on the day the first 2 episodes drop on Amazon Prime Video. Josh talks about Dale Earnhart’s legacy, the participation of Dale’s family in the project, and how he approaches his projects. The Sportsbiz Chat gives a very strong endorsement of the project.

Before the interview, DP & McGhee talk about how MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred’s decision to lift the lifetime ban on Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson will impact their road to the Baseball Hall of Fame. We’d love to know if you think they deserve enshrinement.

The hosts also talk WNBA tip-off, NBA playoff viewership and Tim and David dust off their old corporate finance textbooks to talk about the high valuations for the majority of MLS clubs.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure, and you’re anything like us, you love seeing the name Terry Lefton show up on your caller ID. Any conversation with Terry is a delight. And we had Terry back on this week’s episode as the first-ever repeat guest on Wait…What?

Before welcoming Terry, DP & McGhee talked NBA playoff viewership (among other league items), F1 financial performance, Media Upfronts, MJ joining the NBA broadcasts next year with NBC, and their new favorite topic (at least for now), Shadeur Sanders.

They also joked about the new name for ESPN’s upcoming DTC product which is, quite frankly, brilliant in its simplicity.

And, what has become a new segment, Tim had to issue a correction for misidentifying Breanna Stewart’s spouse.

DP & McGhee are joined by longtime CEO of U.S. Squash, Kevin Klipstein, who discusses what the inclusion of squash in the 2028 Summer Games means for the sport, and plenty more.

Before that, the hosts talk about the Kentucky Derby, NBA playoff ratings, and the end of an era with the retirement of Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. Three unique sponsorships are highlighted in a Spotlight on Sponsorship segment

And in a show first, a listener calls out a mistake by Tim on the last episode. One he is more than willing to admit.

The NFL may be the 800-pound gorilla of the US-sports world, but DP & McGhee start the conversation today talking about the NHL and NBA playoffs.

But don’t despair, they talk about the recently completed NFL draft. In most years, all the talk would be about the first quarterback in the draft, in this case, Miami’s Cam Ward. However, this isn’t most years. Shadeur Sanders went in the 5th round, but he was the #1 topic of discussion among all the pundits (and David and Tim, too). Speaking of pundits, Mel Kiper went all in, some would say he went way too far, on Sanders, going on extended riffs on the absurdity of his dropping so far in the draft.

And the hosts also celebrate the career of the inimitable Lee Corso, who announced his retirement from ESPN after 38 years covering college football.

If that wasn’t enough Jeff Gooding, VP of Marketing at Ace Hardware, joined the show to talk about Ace’s recently announced partnership with Major League Baseball and how their HQ supports their 5,000 locally owned and operated stores across the US.

Jeff also provides some of the best advice we’ve heard for breaking into the sports industry.

Imagine 115,000 student athletes all in one place. That place is Opendorse, the platform that matches brands to student athletes for use in advertising, endorsement, and influencer campaigns.

TJ Ciro, SVP of Partnerships at Opendorse joins DP & McGhee to talk about the current state of affairs in the collegiate athlete marketing space.

Before that conversation, David and Tim talk numbers like the ratings for the Masters, the rebound in NBA viewership, and the NFL’s continued revenue growth. College football, MLB sponsorships and the WNBA are also on the docket.

It’s early April, so what else would DP & McGhee be talking about besides Final Four hoops and Masters Week.

The co-hosts go deep into both the Men’s and Women’s tournaments before David admits he’s not a fan of a beloved Final Four tradition. And even though all eyes are on Augusta, David and Tim talk about the ongoing rift in golf and offer their thoughts and suggestions.

Later on Jason Langwell, Chief Revenue Officer of TMRW Sports joins the show to share his take on the successful first year of the TGL. Jason brings a wealth of golf business experience to his role and shares some wonderful insights on the sport.

Fore!

On this week’s episode, David and Tim talk to legendary sports marketer, Rick Jones about his nearly 50-year career in sports. Rick shares the story about how the deal for Werner Ladder came together for them to become the official ladder of March Madness as well as stories about historic Final Fours and his thoughts on this year’s Big Dance.

DP & McGhee don’t hold back on their thoughts about Pat McAfee’s recent amplification of a false rumor. And as you can tell from the episode’s title, they talk about the current imbroglio hitting (pun intended) Major League Baseball.

After having some amazing guests over the past several episodes, DP & McGhee go it alone in this week’s episode. And there was no shortage of topics to cover. The co-hosts start off with a discussion of the recent record-breaking sale of the Boston Celtics and the potential impact it will have on future sales of existing teams and expansion fees.

They then go around the horn on Jimmy Pitaro’s decision to take himself out of contention for the Disney CEO role, the USL’s decision to go to a system of promotion and relegation, March Madness and the historic selection of the new head of the IOC.

There’s something for everyone in this episode. Enjoy.
