rantnrave:// The NWSL's new TV deal is great news for sports fans. Not only does it provide a TV home, the deal also gives the league an equity-owning partner and longer-term stability. This deal should stabilize the league. The NWSL's solvency shouldn't be a women's sports issue. The U.S. WOMEN'S NATIONAL TEAM is one of the most successful sports properties and fans now have an opportunity to watch those players and to watch the NWSL on TV... FOX censored a SUPER BOWL because it showed a Hispanic mother and daughter inspecting a wall between the U.S. and MEXICO. Is that FOX trying to avoid controversy, or a conservative-leaning network trying to whitewash a commercial?... There's nothing more interesting in the NFL right now than a punter leaving football for BARSTOOL SPORTS. Haven't heard of him? Meet PAT MCAFEE, who turned down nearly $3 million from the COLTS next year to retire and open Barstool's INDIANAPOLIS office.. The PATRIOTS got off easy. The OILERS had to move to TENNESSEE... KOBE BUFFALOMEAT... That time VLADIMIR PUTIN stole ROBERT KRAFT's Super Bowl ring and the Patriots owner had to play it cool... The latest battleground in the ESPN-FOX SPORTS war will be fought in your commercials... Will LADY GAGA get political during her halftime show? While we all sit on the edge of our seats waiting, here is our new REDEFMusicSET: "Gaga for Halftime."
