#Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast: Episode 14

Marchand and Ourand dissect Drew Brees’ underwhelming performance as NBC’s game analyst on the Raiders-Bengals game.

They also speculate on the future of the “Monday Night Football” booth after Steve Levy, Brian Griese and Louis Riddick called their final game of the season. Other topics include: will conference commissioners expand the College Football Playoff; what does ESPN’s deal with Pete Thamel mean for Adam Schefter and Adrian Wojnarowski; what’s the latest on rumors that Disney is looking to spin off ESPN; and what’s the takeaway from Microsoft’s purchase of Activision.

Marchand and Ourand discuss feedback they received on their Mount Rushmore of NFL Media, while giving their weekly assessments of “Who’s Up” and “Who’s Down,” plus their “Calls of the Week.” Sean McManus, Burke Magnus, Bobby Kotick, Tony Romo and Tim Brando are in the mix.
