Welcome to the another edition of Ad Age Sports Media Brief, a weekly roundup of news from every zone of the sports media spray chart, including the latest on broadcast/cable/streaming, sponsorships, endorsements, gambling and tech. The Undoing Project One day soon, when we’re living in some sort of post-apocalyptic “Fraggle Rock,” only with wayyy more cannibalism and the puppets all have knives, we’ll tell our horribly mutated offspring about the time an NBA exec managed to bring on End Times. As the sightless Doozers toss another flayed sacrifice into the maw of Marjory the Trash Heap, we’ll try to explain how Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey inadvertently wiped out 87.9 percent of the human race—a number that coincides with James Harden’s 2018-19 free throw percentage, strangely enough—by posting seven words on an Internet forum where people used to go to argue about a crime-clown movie. Of course, given the state of their ears (melty) and brains (mostly just stems, really) there will be no way to make the children comprehend the enormity of what went down in October MMXIX. Their apertures will make slurping noises for a bit, almost as if some sort of profane dialogue were in the offing. Synapses misfiring, we’ll make a nervous joke. “Google it!” we’ll say in our blighted world’s all-but-incomprehensible sign language, a series of insulting gestures made with fingerless hands. Later that night, Boober will claim a few more trophies to add to his Nose Necklace. Life... Continue reading at 'Advertising Age'
