How’ll Tom Brady do? Will Netflix games work? Six NFL media questions for 2024

New York Times  

We are within two weeks of the opening game of the NFL calendar — Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs hosting Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5. But in today’s NFL broadcasting landscape — and given the money Brady is being paid — there is no apprentice period. CBS will produce the two games this year, and that’s significant because Netflix is not in a position to produce NFL games on its own. Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason, both of whom played significant roles on CBS’ NFL coverage for decades, are no longer on “The NFL Today.” Matt Ryan has taken that spot. He’ll be a regular guest on McAfee’s show, have a permanent guest spot on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli,” play a role on the CW’s “Inside the NFL,” and will host “Coach with Bill Belichick” — a weekly football analysis show for Underdog Fantasy that will run on YouTube.
