OK, if you share the specific Passan points (as I respect his reporting), I will try to answer or we can let it go.
Brian, here is an article with Passan’s points on the March agreement that I was referencing. I agree it would be nice to see the actual agreement. Interesting the neither side side leaked excepts of the agreement that might’ve bolstered their argument.

Not that it’s an important issue, but I recall we agreed that fake crowd noise is a bad idea for broadcasts. I’ve been watching some of the tennis events where they are doing that. It definitely has a phony feel to it.
