Brendan Hunt (@BrendanHunting), Co-Creator and actor on the hit Apple TV + show TED LASSO, takes us inside the making of the cleverly scripted show. Jason Sudeikis (@JasonSudeikis) plays Ted Lasso (@TedLasso), a small-time college football coach from Kansas hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite having no experience coaching soccer. Hunt discusses his longtime friendship with Sudeikis, how they came up with the concept for the show, how they decided on Richmond (London) for the location to shoot the show, the process for writing the episodes and the work that is already underway for Season 2 of TED LASSO on Apple TV +. Also joining Sports Business Radio for a conversation this week is John Levy (@ScoreCommish), Founder & CEO, theScore, the company behind the first and only completely integrated media and sports betting offering in the United States. Levy discusses the growth of the company as well as the future of the sports betting industry. We also discuss the opening week of the NFL season in our Headlines segment.
