On the pod this week, Austin Karp chats with SBJ colleagues Ben Fischer and Josh Carpenter to break down the implications of Brian Rolapp’s move from the NFL to the PGA Tour (and whether he may still be on the NFL commissioner short list in the future). Then, fresh off a successful event in NYC, Karp talks with Melissa Lawton of SailGP to check in on the series’ deal with CBS and other media efforts. Finally, Vice TV’s Pete Gaffney joins Karp to talk about the strategy shift for the company into more sports programming.
