Major League Baseball and Bally Sports’ parent company Diamond Sports Group (Dsg) headed back to court this week for a scheduled emergency hearing. MLB will try to make its case that it deserves to reclaim the broadcasting rights to all 13 teams that Diamond currently holds, while Diamond will try to convince the judge those contracts are worth less now than they were when signed, and that it should only have to pay reduced broadcasting fees to the individual teams.
The hearing began on Wednesday and will conclude Thursday when Judge Christopher Lopez hands down his ruling. According to Front Office Sports, the biggest shock came when MLB commissioner Rob Manfred took the stand and claimed that before Dsg headed to court to secure bankruptcy protections, he got a visit from David Smith, executive chairman of Dsg parent company Sinclair Broadcasting Group. Smith wanted the streaming rights to all teams Dsg held the broadcasting rights to,...

Chris Rock has joked that arresting former US President Donald Trump would strengthen his social status.
While on stage at a Sunday (19 March) event honouring Adam Sandler with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humour, Rock took a moment to crack a few gags about the ongoing political drama in the US.
“Are you really going to arrest Trump?” the comedian asked – per multiple US media reports – before joking that doing so is “like arresting Tupac. He’s just going to sell more records.”
Rock then suggested that indicting and apprehending the former president “is only going to make him more popular”, according to The Guardian’s David Smith.
Trump is currently facing several legal investigations into his conduct before and during his presidency, including his alleged use of campaign finances to pay for an adult film star’s silence, with whom he allegedly had an affair. Trump has denied...

Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens, Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga and James Bond’s No Time to Die are just a handful of the productions that have been filmed in Scotland, and a new report confirms that TV and film is blossoming north of the border.
Screen Scotland’s report reveals that the industries contributed more than £568m (697m) to the country’s economy in 2019, a figure it hopes to double by the end of the decade.
Amazon Prime has made two series of Good Omens and the forthcoming Anansi Boys, also based on a book by Neil Gaiman. Douglas Mackinnon, showrunner on both titles, told the BBC:
“There were lots of discussions, and of course it all came down to money and practicalities but the bottom line was we could make it in Scotland, and at the top level.”
