    The NFL's Encyclo-Media (feat. Andrew Marchand)

    The New York Post's sports media columnist - and G&G recurring guest - Andrew Marchand joins Aidan Hatton. The NFL just agreed to its latest rights deal with five total media conglomerates: NBC, CBS, FOX, ESPN/ABC, and Amazon, the newest player in the streaming sports game. The $1 billion annual price tag that comes with those games carries with it a lot of pressure, both from the league and its viewers. Creating a good product comes down to the quality and entertainment value of the network’s announcers. With so much TV turnover in the NFL in 2022, how do the broadcast changes affect the league Americans love the most?
