    Venu Sports faces a temporary injunction that is expected to prevent it from launching before the NFL season. However, the long-term picture may be more dire for the media company co-owned by Fox, Disney, and Warner Bros. Discovery. Front Office Sports contributor Daniel Kaplan explains the implications of the news.

    With the NFL season on the horizon, the fantasy football world has kicked into high gear. Andy Holloway, co-host of the Fantasy Footballers podcast joins the show to describe how the fantasy industry has evolved along with the growth of the NFL.

    Plus, a pop star’s sports agency faces a legal challenge, an Olympian is riding a big performance in Paris into the NBA, and an NFL team is releasing a player without knowing exactly why.
