Taylor Rooks of NBA on TNT, Bleacher Report & Amazon's Thursday Night Football joins Scott to kick off season 2 of The Offseason.
A headline in The New York Times declared: “Taylor Rooks gets the interviews that go viral.” Taylor Rooks is an Emmy Award-nominated sports journalist who has built a reputation for asking the bold questions that lead to revelatory conversations with sports' biggest stars. Taylor is the host and executive producer of Taylor Rooks X, her interview show for Bleacher Report, and a feature reporter for Amazon's Thursday Night Football. Previously, she worked as a host, reporter, and correspondent for the Big Ten Network and as a sideline reporter for CBS Sports Network.

Other topics on this week's podcast include the problems around the Big Ten's media deals that will start in three months; the problems around the Pac-12's media deals that still seems a ways off; a preview of the NBA Finals series; and a review of CBS's performance around the PGA Championship.

People are complaining about the upcoming NFL schedule and speculating that the league made changes because of Amazon's Thursday Night Football deal. Lazlo has an idea that could fix all their problems. *MTV News is no more. If you a certain age, this news might be making you feel nostalgic. If you're a different age, you're probably wondering what MTV News even was. *A professor in Idaho is suing a tik tok sleuth for making claims that she was involved in the quadruple murder that made national headlines. What are the rules (if any) of being an internet sleuth? *Doomscrolling!! Americans are flying to Europe to see Beyonce because it's cheaper than seeing her here. What causes a person like George Santos to lie about so many things even after the truth has been revealed? A.I. can read your mind. This is not a joke. Researches claim they've already done it and it's workled "accurately". Does this mean we're going from, "I'm old enough to remember a time before the internet and cell phones" to "I remember a time when they couldn't read your mind and you could lie about stuff"? *Thanks for listening to the podcast! Sorry we had some technical issues today that cut our show short. Hopefully we'll have it fixed tomorrow. Have a great day! -Everybody Wang Chung!! www.lazlo.church www.twitch.tv/churchoflazlo www.reddit.com/r/churchoflazlo
Podcast hosts Andrew Marchand and John Ourand review Fox's Super Bowl production, analyzing everything from the Kevin Burkhardt-Greg Olsen booth to the network's multi-hour pregame show. The two also look back on the biggest stories of the season that just completed, from Amazon's “Thursday Night Football” debut to YouTube's “Sunday Ticket” deal. Tony Romo's future in the CBS booth also gets the hosts' focus. Marchand and Ourand also handicap the NBA's and the Pac-12's rights negotiations. They outline what RSN viewers should expect in the next 30 days as Diamond Sports Group careens toward bankruptcy.

The NFL's chief media and business officer Brian Rolapp joins the podcast just three days before the Super Bowl to discuss the league's media strategy including its blockbuster Sunday Ticket deal with Google YouTube. Rolapp outlines how the deal came about and discusses how the Sunday Ticket package may change after spending nearly 30 years on DirecTV. Rolapp also answers questions about the NFL's push to find a company to partner on the NFL's media properties, including NFL Network, RedZone Channel and NFL.com. Rolapp discusses changes viewers will notice in the new television packages that kick-in next season, specifically flex scheduling for ESPN's “Monday Night Football” and, potentially, for Amazon's “Thursday Night Football.” Marchand and Ourand ask Rolapp about his thoughts on the Pro Bowl weekend in Las Vegas, the future of NFL+ and the likelihood of having the league exercise an opt out in its broadcast deals seven years from now. Other questions hit on the diversity of NFL Media's staff and the NFL's position on gambling. As usual, Marchand and Ourand open the pod with their picks for Who's Up and Who's Down for the week in sports media. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The iPhone 14 may have gotten most of the headlines when Apple unveiled it a few weeks ago, but it wasn't the only new gear that Apple debuted. When we did our episode on Apple's latest and greatest, Seth doubted that the new AirPods Pro would be worth the money. Shelly wanted to test that out, so he picked up Apple's new headphones and took them for a test drive. (Well, it was a test walk.) In this episode, Shelly shares his thoughts on the AirPods Pro (2nd Generation), and whether or not you should rush out to pick them up. Also: We check in on Amazon's Thursday Night Football, the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, and the “real” reason these companies are tying themselves to the NFL. Shelly explains how he listens to music and finds new pizza places (both of which use the same process!). Seth unveils the new name for Space Force enlistees.

Viewership for Hollywood awards shows is plummeting. Hosts Janice Min, Tatiana Siegel and Sean McNulty survey the rocky terrain that's led to the Golden Globes's shaky one-year NBC deal (far less than its once-$60 million a year license fee), and prompted the Academy's new Hail Mary efforts to remake the Oscars (and red carpet) for ABC. “There's no way now they're getting $100 million a year [today],” McNulty says. In a season where Avatar 2, Steven Spielberg, Top Gun: Maverick and Elvis are in the mix, the shows are throwing everything against the wall to remain culturally relevant — with streamers likely their next home. The team also unpacks Amazon's Thursday Night Football numbers (9:41), Apple Music's Super Bowl steal (6:30), and Spielberg's Toronto audience award with The Fabelmans (42:25).
