Playbooks and Portfolios: Sports Media, Alternate Markets, and Protect College Sports

Speaking of which, I mean, quarterbacks who are making plays after their career, we're here to talk about the QB second contract, 18 million, 37 and a half million.

So Aikman five years, $90 million signed back in 2022.

It actually expires here in 2026.

I can't wait to see if he does get an extension and what that would look like.

But that's with ESPN.

Joe Buck, six years, 108 million.

Brady, 10 years, 375 million.

Holy cow.

I mean, McAfee reportedly makes 60 million a year.

Sports broadcasting, sports media is becoming a very easy entryway for athletes after sports are done.

And it's a mega platform for a lot of guys to jump into broadcasting.

Liam, first and foremost, do you see broadcasting in your future? Is that something that you would enjoy, you think?

I don't know.

We'll reevaluate once this podcast blows up and then maybe that'll give me more confidence to go into broadcasting.

We're working on it.

We're giving it a go.

We're talking business.

We're talking sports on the pod, getting this thing going.

Now, calling games is tough.

That's a talent that you have to grow and it definitely is definitely not something you can just say hey i played so i feel like i can do this those guys are good at what they do kirk herb street is so elite at what he does shout out to kirk but that guy is really good and it's a gift and it's a talent and that's why they're getting paid the big bucks i mean this is crazy i don't to be honest when did announcers start getting paid like this i feel like it was really just recently like when some of these big names started to come into the fold they've always gotten paid solid but this is like starting quarterback money

Well, I think it's now you're seeing these streaming platforms take over.

I mean, Amazon is the ones that paid Kirk and that crew, and they got some serious, serious money.

I know that for a fact.

And then you have Paramount coming in.

You have ESPN, obviously, making big headway.
