Kay Adams was one of the first high profile acquisitions as FanDuel TV rebranded from TVG, and the Up and Adams host told WFAN’s afternoon show Carton & Roberts the move has been a good one for her.
While discussing a recent on-air conversation she had with Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf being carted off the field because he needed to defecate, Craig Carton asked if she would have been able to discuss that on Good Morning Football while with NFL Network or if it would have been “squashed”.
“It’s a good question,” Adams said. “Squashed is a good — you just sort of have the editorial sense of you know where to go with the NFL. I can definitely push my limits a little more. But I never would have been able to get D.K. Metcalf on the show at NFL Network. ‘Cause it has to go through certain channels, and you guys know how this goes.
“You have to go through this agent, or this team person, but when you have your own show — and FanDuel has been really great about giving me space and freedom, they’re a great partner in that way — I just messaged D.K. ‘D.K., you wanna hop on?’ Which I owe to the NFL because I have these great relationships, but you just sort of say ‘Hey, Sean Payton, here’s the Zoom link. Come on.’ And that’s how it works and that’s really fun.”
