Messi retires at the end of the very first season under this new format.

No but he wants to act like I’m high and mighty from my press box seat. I’m getting season tix for the Fire so my kids can enjoy it (in 2028 and fwd at new stadium). Was unfair

for sure it does. stay tuned. I have a column coming tomorrow and a book coming out June 9 I've spent the last two years reporting and writing that dives into these issues.

I've spent the last two years writing a book about this. Comes out June 9. I feel confident that this is a path toward a chance at success. Status quo is definitely NOT.

it's significantly better. American football is king in U.S. sports media.
