"That’s not me calling out Bally’s or Diamond. That’s me saying as an overall group, we’ve got to put the media puzzle pieces together to be more recognizable and more accessible to fans because right now, we’re not doing that ... Ultimately, we want to build something over a period of time where we’re not worried about the cord being pulled out tomorrow or the next day" -- Cavaliers CEO Nic Barlage, on the team's deal with Bally only reaching 1/3rd of people in their home market (AKRON BEACON JOURNAL, 1/23).
"I think it’s rough. ... It just screws up your whole clock. If you have to turn around and play in the afternoon in any of the other days, it just completely messes up your sleep schedule" -- U.S. tennis player Taylor Fritz, on the continued early-morning finishes at the Australian Open (Melbourne AGE, 1/23).
