"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."

"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.

"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."
