Yeah I don't get shelling out that much money for a TV analyst.  Are that many more people going to watch because of Brady, Romo, Aikman, etc. to make these contracts worth it?

It seems exorbitant, and perhaps I'm wrong to trust that any of these people know what they're doing, but I would guess that the accountants over at FOX, CBS and ESPN have a pretty good idea what kind of revenue their NFL broadcasts will generate and how much more they can ask for an ad buy from a game with Brady, Romo and Aikman attached.
They may be projecting wrongly, but I don't think they're spending money for the sake of spending it. They have reason to believe these guys will boost revenues.

Absolutely baffling to me.  Ive seen nothing from Brady that tells me he's gonna be some lights out, A+++ analyst.  I would have said it was ridiculous for Manning in the same position, and he showed far more potential for it than Brady.  We saw how Brees struggled.

The other shocking side story was Jim Rome getting $30MM a year from CBS Sports.  I mean, I know his radio show/podcast is very successful, but that is a HUGE chunk of change for someone that a lot of knowledgeable sports fans don't realize is still relevant.

I don't get it either.  Will a large audience tune in to hear Brady's thoughts?  Is is value THAT much higher than someone you could get for far less money?

Baffling is the perfect word.

This is anecdotal and a sample of 1, but if I’m torn between 2 games, I’d maybe choose the one with Romo because of his style. Granted that would be a tiebreaker below which one impacts my fantasy matchup more.

I think people would watch Pol Pot call NFL games.  How many people legit don’t watch because of who the announcer is?  Every fanbase thinks announcers are biased against their team and still tune in

Are more people watching those games because of the announcers or because those announcers are usually doing the best games?

I think the networks will try to leverage the presence of these guys into increases in pricing for advertisers...they have to do something to make up for cratering ratings across their non-live-sports programming and this is as good a try as any.  As someone familiar with the buyer's side of the desk, I don't think it will work in the sense that ratings will be higher, but they may be able to leverage an incremental percentage point or two pricing increase vs year prior.  Analysts aren't gonna drive incremental viewership but they might make one network's inventory more attractive than anothers.

Just one man's position; I've never watched a sporting event because of the announcer. I have turned some off, rarely, because of the announcer.

Now, I have listened to some baseball on the radio because of the announcers.

As good a take as any.

Bravo to Brady (and/or his agent) for not “settling” for pathetic Aikman money.

Yea, makes sense.  One thing that was always surprising to me, at least initially, in my media agency days was what a terrible ROI the NFL was.  The side programming (recap shows, NFL draft, etc...) and digital properties had good value, but the actual games themselves were often just tables stakes to be seen as spending in the category.  And that 10-12 years ago before the live TV space changed dramatically.

Kind of amazing...

2022: Sunday night
2021: Sunday night
2020: Sunday night
2019: Sunday 1:00
2018: Sunday night
2017: Thursday night
2016: Thursday night
2015: Thursday night
2014: Sunday night
2013: Monday night
2012: Thursday night

So only once in the last 12 seasons have the Bears played the Packers @ Lambeau on a Sunday afternoon.

No, 12.  If they don’t, then I know they aren’t a serious franchise and are more concerned with fan service

The #Raiders are actually working out FA QB Colin Kaepernick today, source said. His first workout in years.

Sad to see the Raiders become so woke.  If they sign him I’m cancelling my NFL RedZone subscription.

I could be mistaken, but didn't Kaepernick in the past say he wasn't interested in being a backup?  If so, he's not supplanting Carr so not sure why the Raiders.  If he has changed his mind on this, then good for him and I hope he does well in the work/tryout

NFL takes $7.5 million from each team for St. Louis settlement

Rams owner Stan Kroenke doesn’t back away from his obligations. Unless he does.

Although Cowboys owner Jerry Jones proclaimed last year that Kroenke is a “man of principle” who “doesn’t back away” at a time when reporting suggested that Kroenke was trying to back away from his promise to indemnify his partners regarding the litigation filed following the relocation of the Rams, a significant portion of the $790 million settlement has been foisted upon the league’s teams.

Daniel Kaplan of TheAthletic.com reports that the league has “quietly” taken $7.5 million from each team in connection with the settlement. This amounts to $232.5 million.

It’s unclear whether they’ll get the money back. Per Kaplan, some team executives complained that the situation has created budgeting issues, since they don’t know whether and when the money will be returned.

Kroenke’s argument for solely bearing the costs of the litigation but not the settlement comes from the indemnity provision crafted by the league and adopted by the owners. At least one owner previously, and privately, has characterized the failure of the indemnity provision to include the amount of the settlement “malpractice” by the lawyers.

If that's true, he's delusional about his abilities. You can't sit for years and expect to come in as a starter, particularly when his last years weren't all that great as it was.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.
