Summary
Peter opens the podcast with a take on Bryce Young’s unprecedented benching in Carolina and the public reaction to Brian Callahan’s treatment of Will Levis in Week 2. Then, he brings in Michael Mulvihill, President, Insights and Analytics, Fox Sports, to discuss the dominance of the NFL in the media space. Mulvihill lifts the curtain on a variety of topics, including how the networks rank the top 50 matchups they’d like to broadcast for the NFL league’s office and schedule makers. They finish by discussing the teams that have the biggest national fan base, how Nielsen ratings still matter, and discuss the rare 10-game early window that was such a hit on NFL Red Zone last week.

| 0:20.5 | What's up, everybody? Welcome to the season with Peter Schrager, our week three edition of the regular season, |
| 0:26.5 | 24. We've got a really cool guest up ahead, Mike Mulvahill, who is the president of insights and |
| 0:33.9 | analytics at Fox Sports. I've grown to really love Mike and his insights over the last |
| 0:39.5 | several years of getting to know him. He's a really cool guy. Big horse racing fan. We're not going to |

| 0:49.9 | every single week and how decisions are made as far as which games go where, when they are placed, |

| 1:41.7 | It was horrible quarterback play from Bryce Young and horrible offense |
| 1:47.4 | from the Carolina Panthers for the second straight week. And if you're going back to last year, |
| 1:52.2 | really for the 18th or 19th straight week. And, you know, the news came out on early Tuesday morning that Bryce Young was being benched. |
