## Resource

The NFL is officially in its WR era, and wide receivers are getting paid like never before - we break down the biggest deals and what it means for the future of contracts. Over in MLB, it’s “Moneyball” season - but the Los Angeles Dodgers might be taking that to a whole new level. Are they building a dynasty… or just buying one? And in the NBA, the 65-game rule is changing everything. With stars like Cade Cunningham impacted, we dive into how missing games could cost players millions and reshape how contracts are viewed. Plus, we wrap with a look at who’s really running the East and West as the playoff race heats up. Use promo code TAKES on Underdog for $50 in bonus entries. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
