Just the worst, and screw MLB if they are dumb enough to work with them.

Did anyone watch the alternative broadcast to the MNF game with the Manning brothers.  First time they did it and it seemed a little rough.  Peyton was good, but I just can't stand Eli.

I watched it the second time. It was really cool having Ray Lewis, Travis Kelce, Russ Wilson, Charles Barkley, join them for just casual conversation. I like the format a lot. It’s like watching the game with some friends. A little Xs and Os, but not enough to deter some people.

Looked to me like they were openly rooting for the Raiders.

I liked it. I’ll probably put that version on for MNF games I don’t care about, on for background noise. But for Ravens games I’ll want to not be distracted by it. Like it though.

The New York Times Co. plans to purchase The Athletic for $550M.

I subscribe to neither, but if they do a bundled subscription I think I'd definitely consider it.

ESPN has hired Pete Thamel from Yahoo! Sports. He’s the college football version of Adam Schefter, breaks a lot of stories and will probably be featured on GameDay a lot next season.

10/$375 for Brady as Fox's lead football analyst once he retires.  Seems like a lot for someone without much of an apparent personality.

The money they give NFL announcers is crazy...  the public is going to watch regardless.

Jason Benetti is reportedly going to Fox, sliding into Joe Davis' role as the #2 college football PBP. Good move for them, logical move for Benetti. ESPN is so deep on their college football announcers that he had nowhere to go.

 

This will probably also bump Joe Davis over to the NFL, and I'm guessing he'll slot in as the #2 PBP (alongside whomever) behind Burkhardt/Olsen.
