*YouTube's big bet on the NFL is losing a ton of money in year 1*

YouTube is paying roughly $2 billion annually for "NFL Sunday Ticket," and it could be losing more than half of it every year. Morgan Stanley's equity research team projected that Alphabet's (GOOGL) - Get Free Report Google is projected to lose $8.86 billion on "NFL Sunday Ticket" through the remainder of its deal which goes until 2029. The firm made some estimates to get to its data including 4% escalators for the 7-year, $14 billion-dollar contract and an estimated 1.5 million subscribers. Bloomberg reported earlier this month that YouTube TV had hit 1.3 million subscribers, which is already above the number of subscribers of Sunday Ticket under DirecTV. Based on Morgan Stanley's projections, the firm would need to double the subscriber count at its current price point in order to breakeven on its deal by next season.Related: YouTube shelled out a lot for the NFL and the early results are finally in But according to Columbia University sports management professor Joe Favorito, the numbers aren't necessarily concerning. "Projections are projections β€” sometimes those things can change," Favorito told TheStreet. Favorito said that numbers are difficult to trust because the streaming world is "uncharted waters" for everyone, and that YouTube TV has the opportunity to benefit in other ways beyond just the apples-to-apples comparison of its deal with the NFL. "If YouTube TV can use the power of the NFL as a marketing tool to grow everything that they're doing and additionally continue to bring in subscribers for Sunday Ticket ... I think you worry about today in the short term and then let the long term play out," Favorito said. He also used the analogy of the NBA's former commissioner, the late David Stern, who once said that the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue in New York City didn't function to profit but instead was a "front porch" that would open the door for more fans. "If you're YouTube TV, you're looking at this as 'How is that your front porch to bringing in new subscribers across the board as the very volatile and fluid world of streaming continues to progress? If this is a marketing tool that goes under a different line, that changes the way things are viewed," Favorito said.Related: Experts weigh in on the NBA’s next media deal and whether ESPN can fend off Amazon and Apple But Favorito pointed out that regardless of the projections, YouTube TV needs to prioritize its user experience if its wants to be successful.

*Why Elon Musk ardently approves of Bill Maher's latest New Rule*

Bill Maher, concluding the latest episode of his show "Real Time," offered up another New Rule: The network of regulators that exist within U.S. bureaucracy seems designed to make sure "nothing ever happens." "It's not that America isn't able to get anything done," Maher argued. "It's that we're not allowed to." Environmental-impact statements, for example, used to run a few dozen pages and took a couple of weeks to complete, according to the Regulatory Transparency Project. By 1998, the organization says, the average report took three years to put together. As of 2016, it was five years. Related: Elon Musk's SpaceX is making bold moves despite one red flag "Environmental reviews are not the only thing holding back new infrastructure in the United States, but one thing is certain: Hundreds of projects across the United States cannot be started until these ever-lengthening NEPA reviews are completed," the organization stated. Environmental considerations, Maher said, are important. But they and other regulatory hurdles have become so intensive that they are hurting political causes, rather than helping them. "Environmental-impact statements used to be a few pages long," Maher said. "Now they're thousands of pages, with thousands of bureaucrats filling out millions of paper forms that kill hundreds of forests to answer the question: Is this good for the environment?" "America," Maher said, is "becoming Gulliver, the giant that got tied down with a thousand tiny ropes." It's a position with which SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk agrees. Related: Elon Musk says SpaceX Starship is ready to launch; regulators don't agreeSpaceX's battle with the FAA "Every year that passes comes with more rules," Musk wrote in response to Maher's editorial. "And while all humans die, laws and regulations are immortal. So each passing year, we tie ourselves down with more and more strings, until, like Gulliver, we can no longer move." This comes several weeks into SpaceX's ongoing battle with the Federal Aviation Administration to gain approval to send Starship up on a second test flight. After the administration's September conclusion of its standard mishap investigation, the organization predicted that Starship would be ready to fly by mid-October, a soft deadline that has come and gone. Part of the ongoing regulatory examination involves a review of the rocket's water deluge system by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a process that regulators said in September could take up to 135 days to complete. Starship first launched in April, flying for several minutes before self-destructing, a brief mission that Elon Musk hailed as a success. PATRICK T. FALLON/Getty Images Musk said Sept. 7 that the rocket was "ready to launch." Starship has been stacked on the launchpad and ready to go ever since. An FAA spokesperson told TheStreet Oct. 25 that there were no updates to the ongoing review process. On Oct. 18, executives from several U.S. space companies, including SpaceX, testified before a congressional hearing to explain issues with the FAA, which was not invited to testify. β€œThe FAA has neither the resources nor the flexibility to implement its regulatory obligations,” SpaceX's Bill Gerstenmaier, vice president of build and flight reliability, said. The FAA said in a statement that it was working to increase its staff to meet the demand offered by the growing industry.

*ESPN locks up legendary broadcaster Mike Breen for two more years*

ESPN just locked in one of its big names for a couple more years. Hall of Fame NBA play-by-play commentator Mike Breen just received an additional two-year contract extension from ESPN, according to a report by the New York Post. The report said that the two years will be added onto his current deal, which already had two NBA seasons left on it. That should lock Breen into his deal with ESPN until the end of the 2027-28 NBA season.Related: Doris Burke recounts ESPN's surprise layoffs and how she received the top NBA analyst role Breen has been with ESPN as an NBA commentator since 2003. He's called 18 NBA Finals for ESPN and ABC, and last season's series-clinching Game 5 win by the Denver Nuggets over the Miami Heat was the 100th NBA Finals game Breen called. He also works as the play-by-play announcer for the New York Knicks on the MSG Network.Related: Former ESPN Star Posts Somber Goodbye Message After Sudden Firing But his extension comes despite a massive change in the team around him, which serves as ESPN's top broadcasting trio. Breen had called 15 seasons alongside both Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy, and the two were both let go as part of the mass layoffs of ESPN in the summer. Former NBA Coach of the Year Doc Rivers and Hall of Famer Doris Burke have since joined Breen in the booth to start the 2023-24 NBA season. River said in a media conference call on Oct. 20 that he considers Breen one of his "best friends for over 20 years."
