It was another WFNY Joncast this week after a nice vacation for me last week. This time Jon and I came prepped with an agenda that we made sure to hit along the way. Here are some of the things we discussed.
- Art Modell missing the hall of fame and how it wasn’t all that jubilant
- How important are halls of fame anyway?
- Small hall guys vs. big hall guys
- The Ravens winning and how they’re just another division rival now
- The Cleveland Indians’ rotation and how it’s changed
- Brett Meyers and his youthful Ashton Kutchery
- Quentin Tarantino and the downside of taking lessons from his films
- Are the morals of Tarantino’s revenge fantasies immoral?
- Netflix’s new show House of Cards starring Kevin Spacey
- Selling a show based on a distribution model
- The benefits of watching a TV show “marathon” style
- What does the Netflix business model mean for cable TV and sports?

always nice listening to you two.
on jon’s ‘what makes an owner a HOFer’ let me offer some thoughts:
founder class: george halas, art rooney, tim mara, charles bidwell, curly lambeau, bert bell. true pioneers without whom either nfl doesn’t exists or has a drastically different form.
true contributors: wellington mara, ralph wilson, lamar hunt. guys who bankrolled elements of the league during uncertain times and so ensured its future.
innovators: al davis, dan rooney. guys who left a significant mark on the league resulting it its betterment.
on jon’s ‘why do we care,’ i too am not generally interested in halls of fame. nor do heisman or mvp convos interest me. but the modell thing was a cause of righteousness. much like craig,, my interest wasnt borne out of a modell loathing, but more from a ‘if we’re having a HOF, let’s at least try to get it right.’ and my reaction after modell’s not making was not any happiness but some satisfaction that the right call was made.
Jon, I feel that way about O Brother, Where Are Thou? I don’t know why, I can’t call it my favorite movie and yet I could watch it over and over and over again and legitimately enjoy it.
I really like the back and forth between you two. It’s good pod.
I can’t comment frequently because my work blocks disqus, But, I really like the podcast addition to the site… minus the baseball talk, #MLBfree
P.S. Next time Denny is on you should bring up the orange bear
