In the 45-minute sports media podcast, Andrew Marchand and John Ourand project where the NFL TV rights will end up, for how much and how long the deals will be. This is after spending Super Bowl week talking to scores of executives.

They delve into the potential pivotal pressure-point package, Netflix and YouTube’s real interest … and will Amazon Prime Video pick up a Super Bowl and/or a Conference Championship. And what impact will all this have on leagues like MLB, the NHL and others.
