• The Sporting Class: Cooperstown Prom Kings, WNBA Protests & What Owners Want

  Our semi-regular roundtable on sports business reconvenes for expertise from the boardroom: David Samson takes Pablo behind the scenes of Ichiro's viral joke about him at the Baseball Hall of Fame, then John Skipper translates the math from the ESPN negotiating table to the Unrivaled cap table the looming strike over WNBA salaries — and team valuations at large. Plus: foreskin, poppycock, psychedelic pastel paisley, pandering to the people, talking with your eyes... and a haberdashery version of pre-determinism. • Subscribe to Nothing Personal with David Samson https://www.youtube.com/@NPDS • From Pablo's Substack: We're One of the 100 Best Podcasts of All Time (Allegedly) https://www.pablo.show/p/were-one-of-the-100-best-podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

• We Helped Scatter the Ashes of a Die-Hard Fan (PTFO Vault)

  We are living in the era of Peak Cremation, and fans have turned to our true American cathedral as a final resting place: the sports arena. PTFO death correspondent David Fleming reports on a cottage industry for die-hards in the afterlife — from team-branded urns and exploding golf balls to franchises that want the on-field ceremonies gone (and forgotten). And then, of course, we help a woman named Edna spread her husband's ashes... while riding a convertible, on a racetrack, flooring it into eternity.

David Mandel laments his big-screen adaptation that never was... even though the ultimate passion project could have starred Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

• Vox's Unexplainable Presents: Jumping the Gun

  Sprinter TyNia Gaither was disqualified for a false start... after the gun went off... for running faster than humanly possible. Was that even true? Do sporting officials really understand how the body works? Or do we simply not understand how to define — and record — a race?
