How did ESPN end up with a Cowboys playoff game? That’s one of many NFL playoff-related topics discussed by Andrew Marchand and John Ourand this week. Other topics include how CBS and Fox handled the final regular-season NFL Sunday, Greg Gumbel’s Week 18 performance, DirecTV’s negotiations for NFL Sunday Ticket’s commercial rights and a look back at 2022’s 100 most-viewed shows on television – a list that is dominated by NFL games.
Ourand is in Los Angeles and gives a report from the site of the CFP championship game. College football topics include Pat McAfee’s alternate telecast around the championship game, an update on media rights to the planned CFP expansion and a preview of NBC’s planned “Blackbird” booth for the Big Ten that will feature Noah Eagle and Todd Blackledge.
