Takeouts: oil prices, NFL and antitrust, listeners on decades

The World

Business Takeout: Louise Story, finance reporter for The New York Times, looks at a sudden rise in the price of oil.

NFL Takeout: Sports writer Dave Zirin talks about the upcoming Supreme Court date for the NFL as they argue that they are a single corporate entity. The ruling could have wide ramifications for all four major U.S. sports leagues and anti-trust law.

Listener Responses: We get a dose of decade-pedantry (all of it correct, however) from you, our listeners.
