Just when we think Roberts is at the top of his game, he manages to scale new heights in his tireless quest to grow the media behemoth that is Comcast. It’s the reason so many cable insiders consider him the best dealmaker in the business—and the reason we have stolen him from his usual lofty perch in the “Above It All” section and pulled him back into the Cablefax 100 trenches.

Lawmakers will determine whether the deal will go through, but we’re certainly not betting against him.
