It's Just Business Ep 116 - From Salt Lake City to Tijuana - a podcast by The Hog Sty

Get ready for a steady diet of sports gambling stories over the coming months. For this show we start off discussing the messy investments of Adam Schefter, Robert Craft in a betting app. Is this an ethical quandary for Adam? ESPN? The NFL? We argue that it is and marvel at how fast the NFL has gone from shunning gambling to being all in. Next we check in on the ongoing lawsuit about how the Rams left St. Louis to return to L.A. The case is far from over but a judge just ruled that the Kronke family has to open their books as part of the case? Will we finally get a look into an NFL franchise's financial records? What could we learn? Would you want to peek under the emperor's robes? We finish looking at the road to probable labor unrest in Major League Baseball. It seems insane to think another strike/lockout is possible, but it very much is. If you love baseball you better hope the tea leaves are wrong.

A reading list to help you prep the show.
