The episode discusses a judge throwing out a $4.7 billion verdict against the NFL in an antitrust lawsuit over the league's distribution of out-of-market Sunday games. Jennifer Rie, a senior litigation analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, explains that the judge excluded testimony from two expert witnesses and found that the jury improperly calculated damages. She suggests that a new trial on damages is likely if the plaintiffs appeal.

The episode also covers the Kids Online Safety Act, which was recently passed by the Senate. Professor Eric Goldman from Santa Clara University Law School raises concerns about the bill, arguing that it would violate the First Amendment, harm children's ability to access information online, and create incentives for companies to exclude children from their platforms.

Goldman criticizes the bill for its inability to determine when a user is a child, its attempt to regulate how online content is published, and its assumption that the internet is always harmful to children. He believes the bill is fundamentally flawed and that the courts will likely intervene if it becomes law.
