In this week’s Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast sponsored by WSC Sports: 

In this week’s Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast: Pat McAfee appears to be on the cusp of leaving his $120 million FanDuel deal in favor of ESPN. Andrew Marchand and John Ourand discuss why McAfee would make this move and what benefits ESPN would get from this deal. Marchand and Ourand also preview the NFL’s schedule release, which is slated for Thursday, and offer a preview of ESPN’s second NFL booth that will be calling five games this fall.

 

This week’s pod also marks the return of the podcast’s “Brady Meter,” which gives the percentage chances that Tom Brady ever will appear in a Fox booth. Marchand talks about how last week’s “Brady Meter” debut made international news and led to the former quarterback commenting on it. Other topics on this week’s pod: ESPN’s decision to not take its NBA studio show to the Western Conference finals this year; the Pac-12’s seemingly endless media negotiations; and the likelihood that the WNBA will double its rights fee revenue.
