Fantasy guru Matthew Berry joins the pod this week just a week after news broke that he raised $2 million for his Fantasy Life with an all-star roster of investors including everyone from Casey Wasserman and Tony Khan to Josh Allen and Joe Burrow.
Berry discusses his move from ESPN to NBC and how he rode the rise of fantasy sports to create a career. A student of the sports media business, Berry opined on his thoughts of where the business is headed and how today’s sports media stars can amass audiences.
Hosts Andrew Marchand and John Ourand discuss the biggest sports media news of the day: ESPN’s decision to part ways with Lee Fitting, the executive behind the massive success of College GameDay.
Fitting oversaw the production behind all college and pro football at the network.
Marchand and Ourand discuss daytime studio changes at ESPN and Fox shows “First Take” and “Undisputed.”
The two hosts also highlight reader feedback from their regular disagreement over Amazon’s and Apple’s interest in sports media.
