Has there been a more awkward on-screen moment than the game that Burkhardt and Brady did? where before the game, Burkhardt set up Brady to say, oh, I'm going to be here. You're stuck with me, partner. I'm not leaving. It was so manufactured that it was obviously not believable to me. And if I'm Mark Davis, I will not allow Tom Brady to continue at Fox because I want his full attention.
And if I'm the Fox, I will not allow Tom Brady to run the Raiders because I need his faux attention.
He was in the booth for the lower game in the NFC.
Which, by the way, proves the point.
So here's what I've been thinking about. All the altcasts that are happening. And I was thinking about John and getting his budget shown to him as he's looking at his P&L. And he knows what he paid out in rights to just take football. And he knows what he's paying the announcers, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, which is an unbelievable amount for each of them. And they're great.
And then he gets presented with... You know what? We're going to bring in the Mannings. We're going to put that on a different channel for an old cast. And then we're going to do another one where it's going to be for kids. You will not have heard of anyone, but there's slime and various things involved.
And you're going to look and say, wait a minute, that's an extra $8 million per product for production. What are we doing here? So is it progress, all the altcasts? That's what I'm having a hard time understanding, that we're trying to attract different demographics. So we're doing it with all these altcasts, but we're just increasing the expense when it turns out that maybe people don't care.
I believe that roughly the same amount of people would be watching. So then why would you increase your expenses? If you're not getting an incremental revenue benefit for it, why are you increasing your expenses? To make it look like progress?
To me, it was an ambassador deal that enables you to draw from different budgets. So I would bet you that you would not want on your P&L 37 and a half million for Tom Brady as your play-by-play guy. I would imagine that you're happy to take money from the corporate side for him to go to investor events. And so that's worth an amount of money. And so you split up his salary.
Yeah, I view it as that, that you're not a fan of either of the teams and you just want to hear what these guys have to say. But what's very popular now are these watch parties. Metal Ark does them. where you're watching somebody watch the game or you're doing a two-screen experience.
Do you have any recollection of your P&L? Excuse me, do you have any recollection of your P&L? Did you have Kornheiser on with no concomitant expense, or did you have to take part of his already existing salary and put it into yours? What a highly specific curiosity. Well, I'm obsessed with this because I love the way big companies allocate talent.
and and uh i'm so sad that your view is that because you're in charge of hiring and sort of establishing value for the people who are doing this that's like saying you know dan doing four hours of content a day five days a week is not hard it's hard i didn't say it wasn't hard three times a week that's not what you were talking about you were talking about how difficult it is that a person who is one of three people in a booth must spend what
I was always- When you're watching the games with your son, can you name every player on the team?
Mark Davis was lying, obviously, because it was two weeks later that Tom Brady was doing the interviews for head coach. So I'm not, and right during the playoffs while Tom was calling playoff games. So I'm not sure, were you giving that quote because you believed Mark Davis that he was showing that sort of respect and deference?
We don't know about as running the Raiders yet. I mean, it's too early. Are you judging him on his running the Raiders football team yet?
And are you judging him as a broadcaster? I think, you know, we're giving him a lot of hate.
Is there anything harder than being a solo radio announcer the way Vin Scully doing baseball?
Vince would talk about... 15 minutes of it. So it's the same, the action. So of course you're describing the action as it happens, but we know... Like you're saying that the football announcer shouldn't say second and seven handoff. They do do that, but that's only about 16 minutes of a three and a half hour broadcast.
So the skill, one thing that I don't know if the result of this will be is John criticizing or thinking that broadcasters are not worth anything. The fact is, and I want to reiterate what he said, there's people in your ear all the time talking. You've got, it's like a concert that's happening and there's everyone playing a different instrument to make it sound good. Yes.
Yeah, he said mohunk. Mohunk. Mohawk is the hairstyle. I said mohunk. Okay.
