Show notes
Roger Goodell is making Nielsen and ESPN offers they cannot refuse. Pat McAfee is the real winner. Super Bowl ratings slipped, and now the NFL is threatening the people who count the people watching. Front Office Sports reports the NFL is unhappy with Nielsen’s new 2026-27 formula — especially co-viewing — and Paul Ballew says the early results look really negative. Jason turns these maneuverings into a "Godfather" part one analogy that you must hear and see.
