"Buck has reportedly agreed to a six-year extension worth roughly $108 million."

"This is the biggest season yet for ESPN, and Apple Music is perfect to help carry that energy from Monday Night Football all the way through to the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show.”

"With a potential $60 million-$65 million annual extension reportedly waiting in the wings, ESPN is clearly wanting to make a significant investment in his future. Whether you love McAfee, tolerate him or cannot stand him, there is little denying his ability to generate attention."

"This is a monumental year for ESPN with the network broadcasting their first Super Bowl."

That’s not fair to teams, and in an era where the integrity of sports is constantly questioned, it’s certainly not fair to fans."
