Episode notes

The NFL has just gotten too big. Each of the owners has too many of their own interests argue for their entire need of something or some one to unify them. So you kind of have to pick someone that nobody hates, but probably won't be very good by day eight or nine. That's sort of the position that everyone feels like they're in is. But fortunately for the NFL, they were very, very, very wrong about that.

The NFL — it’s almost synonymous with America today. And its history is a fascinating lens to explore the nation’s development over the last 100 years, from WWII to TV and suburbs to the Internet and social media. What began as a quasi-illicit league in small midwestern towns is now the single largest media property in the world today by revenue. And whether you watch football or not, this is one incredible business story. Acquired is ready for some football — let’s kick this Season off right!
