Ballmer's Secret I.O.U., Aspiration's "Web of Lies" and the Zenith of Fraud: Kawhi-Gate, Part XI

As Adam Silver calls for the NBA's Kawhi Leonard probe to wrap up and Aspiration's co-founder gets 14 years behind bars, Pablo investigates how Steve Ballmer covered his tracks on a side deal of his own — and with the SEC on the case. Former DOJ prosecutor Lou Manzo returns to make sense of the relationship between a billionaire and a fraudster, while David Samson is finally convinced that the richest owner in sports has lost credibility.

City cruise past Arsenal at Wembley as Forest win big at Spurs

Jimbo has Tim Spiers, Jay Harris and Luis Miguel Echegaray for company as the first silverware of the season in England is handed out. It’s Manchester City who claim the Carabao Cup thanks to a brace from Nico O’Reilly. What happened to league leaders Arsenal? And did Mikel Arteta make a mistake by starting Kepa? It was a cup final atmosphere elsewhere in North London but it was Forest who took home a massive 3 points at Spurs in the battle to survive. Are Tottenham doomed? The only positive for Spurs is that West Ham also lost and stay below them in the relegation zone. Villa the big winners in the Champions League race this weekend. That’s because Liverpool lost at Brighton and Chelsea were taken apart by Everton. Are the Blues set to miss out on Champions League football? What will that mean for Liam Rosenior? And could it be David Moyes managing in Europe’s premier club competition next season? Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Man City beat Arsenal in League Cup final (02.30) • PART 2a: Spurs 0-3 Nottingham Forest (20.00) • PART 2b: Aston Villa 2-0 West Ham (32.00) • PART 3a: Newcastle 1-2 Sunderland (38.00) • PART 3b: Everton 3-0 Chelsea (46.00) • PART 3c: Brighton 2-1 Liverpool (54.00) • PART 3d: Bournemouth 2-2 Man United (59.00) • PART 3e: Fulham 3-1 Burnley (61.00) • PART 3f: Leeds 0-0 Sunderland (64.00) Hosted on Acast.

It's the End of LIV Golf as We Knew It (and Trump Feels Fine)

The president may have ended his favorite sport's civil war — by waging a war of his own. But what did we really learn from Saudi Arabia's multibillion-dollar golf experiment? Journalist Alan Shipnuck explains what insiders are texting about but won't say out loud: that golfers are the most overpaid athletes on Earth, that peacetime is suddenly more complicated for the PGA Tour... and that sportswashing is insidious because it works. • Read "LIV and Let Die" by Alan Shipnuck • Previously on PTFO: Phil Mickelson, the Pipeline and Trump's (Alleged) 14-Inch Pipe Hosted on Acast.

Would coaching college make Bill Belichick miserable? + Did the Falcons make a bad bet on Cousins?

Could the coach with the most Super Bowl wins in NFL history be happy working at the college level for the first time? Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel ask legendary coach Bruce Arians, who worked in the pros and in major college programs, what taking a job at a place like UNC would be like for Bill Belichick. They also get insight from Arians on what this year’s class of rookie quarterbacks is bringing to the Bears, Commanders, Patriots and Broncos, on what he sees in Jameis Winston’s recent play and on how the Buccaneers stack up at this point in the season. Plus, Dianna and Chase reflect with each other about which teams made the best and worst bets this year and whether the Falcons bet on Kirk Cousins was a bad one. Finally, they close the show dishing out Uncrustables for the best things they saw in Week 14.

Why did Mike Tomlin go “Lone Ranger” and start Russell Wilson?

As reported by Dianna Russini over the weekend, the Dolphins are moving to get Tua Tagovailoa back on the field as early as next Sunday. Dianna and Chase Daniel explore what risks he and the team are taking by returning to action so quickly after he suffered the third diagnosed concussion of his career in September. They also discuss what went into Mike Tomlin’s decision to start Russell Wilson at quarterback this weekend and how it paid off, what’s next for the Jets after their second primetime loss in a week, and who should be sellers at the trade deadline. Plus, they check in with The Athletic’s Vikings beat reporter, Alec Lewis, about what’s been going on behind the scenes with a team that’s been one of the surprise stories of the 2024 season. And they end the show with a new segment about who in the league has a right to be petty as we kick off the week.
