Episode notes

The NFL has managed to sort of smooth the curve more than other sports have. LeBron James is already a billionaire and especially once his playing days are over, he will be a multi-multi-multi-billionaire because of the influence that he has. Apparently, LeBron James has signed some secret deal with Nike for the rest of his lifetime. That's something crazy high that is just not even accounted for in these numbers.

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!
