Congratulations to Pat McAfee and The Pat McAfee Show. The partnership with FanDuel is $30 Million Dollars a year. Creative people who gamble on themselves and win are fun to cheer for. The 4-Year Contract made news Thursday and it had a lot of my friends saying, “I see why you guys did what you did now.” We heard the same thing when we first left because Clay Travis had sold OutKick for $11 Million Dollars, “Oh, you guys want to do what Clay did.” I can’t speak for everyone, but if there is ever a $30M deal on the table, we’ll listen. 😅 The main reason we started DBL Down Media/The Next Round was freedom. Creative Freedom. Freedom of Movement. We looked at McAfee, Le Batard, Barstool, OutKick and saw beacons of light. We saw the fun we could have at work. We saw how we could come up with different ways to interact with you. For us, that was worth the gamble and priceless…but if anyone has $30M, Jim@NextRoundLive.com
