"The NFL currently has television contracts with ESPN/ABC, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, Prime Video and Netflix to air its games."

"At some point, networks must stop acting like victims of disruption and start behaving like competitors within it."

"Netflix is not a small distribution. In fact, you can make an argument it’s bigger than some of the networks."

"You can’t empower insiders, reward scoops, and fuel the social media fire, then act surprised when it burns a little too hot."

"If the standard for an “anticompetitive” league is one that still delivers the overwhelming majority of its product for free, in local markets, on over-the-air television—then what exactly are we measuring? And more importantly, who are we protecting?"

"Federal officials are examining whether the league has used business practices that could limit competition and negatively impact consumers."

"If the league won’t act, then networks should. Stop paying top voices if they are going to leverage the access you provide for personal gain and influence within the league. 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."

"The end of 23 years of growing this network on behalf of the NFL. It kind of feels weird that I'm not going to be employed by the shield."

"At some point, ESPN must decide whether its vision for NFL Network remains the same, becomes bigger, or evolves into something entirely different."

"The current agreement averages about $2.1 billion per year for the Sunday afternoon slate of games, meaning a revised deal could push CBS’s annual commitment past $3 billion."
