Take a look at Rickie Lambert’s £3 million move from Liverpool to West Brom. The deal seemed logical, but the striker barely got minutes and ended up leaving after two quiet seasons. We dive into the numbers, the wage debate, and why a good contract on paper can still flop on the pitch.
Another hot topic is the college football national championship being shown on ESPN instead of ABC. The reason? A contract that gives ESPN exclusive rights, turning a free‑to‑air slot into a subscription‑based event. We explain how that deal works, why it benefits ESPN, and what it means for fans who prefer free channels.

Our analysis isn’t just a recap; it’s a quick guide to help you form your own opinion. We ask the right questions: Was the Lambert deal a mismatch of expectations? Does the ESPN‑only broadcast limit the championship’s reach? You’ll find clear answers without the academic fluff.
Beyond the big headlines, we spot the small but telling details. A forward’s improved tackling rate, a coach’s new formation tweak, or a broadcast’s updated commentary team can all shift the game’s outcome. We point those out so you can spot trends before they become headlines.

Rickie Lambert left Liverpool for West Brom in 2015 on a £3 million deal that looked sensible on paper. The England striker struggled for minutes, earned a hefty weekly wage and never sparked the goals fans hoped for. After a brief, quiet stint at the Hawthorns he drifted to Cardiff, scored few times and hung up his boots in 2017. The saga shows how even logical deals can go wrong.
The CFB National Championship is broadcasted on ESPN rather than ABC due to a contract agreement. ESPN secured exclusive broadcasting rights for the event, which means they have sole permission to air it. This deal is part of ESPN's strategy to attract more viewers and subscribers to their platform. While ABC is a free-to-air channel, ESPN is a paid subscription service, providing them with an additional revenue stream. So, the decision was more about business strategy than anything else.
