Summary

Joe Ovies and Demetri Ravanos welcome you to "OG on Business", an every other week look at the sports media business. The podcast opens up with Tom Brady's FOX debut. While it was a little cringe, there are a ton of reasons to believe this is exactly what FOX wants with their NFL coverage. Meanwhile, Brady's old rival seems to be losing steam with the Manningcast (7:30). ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro is being floated as a potential CEO successor to Bob Iger (10:30). Does his track record with cable network hold up to be seriously considered? Speaking of ESPN, their two biggest stars took time to battle with journalists. While Ovies understands where Stephen A. Smith is coming from, he's still at a loss as to what Pat McAfee is trying to accomplish by picking weird fights over "journalistic integrity (23:00). Joe and Demetri close the episode dumping out the notebook to highlight another Barstool "war", Terry Bradshaw's opinions on painted nails, and Charles Barkley's contract status (32:00).

0:24.7	broadcasting debut this weekend, did you?
0:27.0	I did not.
0:29.1	I gotta say, I thought
0:31.1	building it up, Fox did such a great job, man,
0:33.9	of hyping this thing.
0:35.4	The promo they aired during the Michigan, Texas game was dynamite.
0:41.8	The problem was, at some point, Tom Brady had to talk to other people. Yeah. And certainly like
0:48.9	that Joel Clad interview did him no favors. I don't like people that feel like they are ready to say, oh, it's an
0:56.9	embarrassment. Oh, this is he didn't earn it. It's one week into his real broadcast career.
1:02.2	I need somebody to explain to me when it comes to NFL ecosystems. Sure. What does earning it
1:07.3	have to do with anything? No, I agree. Listen, we saw this during the Olympics. I saw a lot of
1:12.4	chatter on Twitter about Noah Eagle, not earning it, being there because of who his dad was.
1:18.8	Jack Collinsworth. I mean, I would argue Noah Eagle fucking earned it because Noah Eagle's better than
1:24.0	anyone else you're going to put in that. And a lot of situations too, nepotism, you know, because everybody's, we had our nepo baby summer last summer. Sure. I get all that stuff. But oftentimes, if you actually dive into it, nepotism, nepo babies actually have it harder. Yeah. Than you think. I mean, there are people in this industry that will absolutely, Noah Eagle is one of them, that will absolutely acknowledge who your
1:44.3	dad is, helps. But I would argue that someone like Noah Eagle was so good at what he did,
