Two guests join Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, all centered around the Super Bowl this week in Miami. First, Sportscorp Ltd. co-founder Marc Ganis discusses the commercialization of the Super Bowl, looming labor negotiations and the prospect of more NFL games, including a Super Bowl, overseas. Later in the show, Hans Schroeder, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of NFL Media, talks about the league's position as it begins to negotiate billions in new TV deals. Current partners NBC, Fox, CBS and ESPN are all expected to bid to keep their rights, and the league will likely see increased interest from deep-pocketed tech companies like Apple and Amazon.
