À propos de cet audio

 Welcome to Moneyballers, the show where the X’s and O’s meet the dollars and cents. Football might be won on the field, but the decisions that shape the league are often made long before kickoff — in contract negotiations, salary cap calculations, ownership boardrooms, and billion-dollar media deals. We dive into the business side of pro football, from the intricacies of player contracts to franchise valuations, revealing how money drives the strategy behind the game you love.

This isn’t just another recap show. Whether it’s breaking down a blockbuster trade, analyzing the ripple effects of a record-setting contract, or unpacking how new media partnerships will change the way fans watch, Moneyballers connects the dots between the business of the NFL and the action on the field. Episodes drop every Tuesday + Thursday, giving you a fresh look at the weekend’s games through the lens of the league’s economics. Key takeaways each episode:
  • Exclusive insights into the league’s financial strategies
  • Analysis of high-profile trades, contracts, and team-building moves
  • Updates on media partnerships and the NFL’s global expansion
If you’ve ever wondered what makes the NFL the financial powerhouse it is today — and how those boardroom decisions shape what happens on the field — this is the show for you.

  • The Super Bowl Effect: Why Cities Constantly Chase Football’s Biggest Payday

    The Super Bowl Effect: Why Cities Constantly Chase Football’s Biggest Payday
    Aug 19 2025
    The Super Bowl isn’t just America’s biggest sporting event — it’s sold as a once-in-a-lifetime jackpot for host cities. From hotels doubling their rates to packed restaurants and politicians promising hundreds of millions in economic impact, the NFL markets the game as a financial windfall for local communities. But how much of that money actually stays in town, and how much flows right back to the league and national corporations?

    In this episode of Moneyballers, we break down the hype versus reality. You’ll learn how money really moves during Super Bowl week, which sectors cash in the most, and why independent studies slash those eye-popping impact numbers in half. With case studies from Minneapolis, Miami, Glendale, and L.A., we dig into who truly wins — and why the NFL always finds a way to come out on top. If you’ve ever wondered whether the Super Bowl really delivers for its host city, this is the behind-the-scenes breakdown you need.

  • Show Me the Money – How NFL Players Get Paid and the Salary Cap Gets Calculated

    Show Me the Money – How NFL Players Get Paid and the Salary Cap Gets Calculated
    Aug 14 2025
    Most fans know the headline numbers — “Joe Burrow signs for $275 million” — but the reality of how NFL players actually get paid is far more complicated. In this episode of Moneyballers, we pull back the curtain on the league’s financial system, breaking down where the money really comes from, how it’s divided under the CBA, and why players often end up with less security than their counterparts in other sports. From revenue streams that don’t count toward the salary cap, to the hidden impact of the franchise tag and rookie wage scale, we trace the flow of billions to show you who really wins in the NFL’s money game. Finally, we look ahead to 2030 and the next round of negotiations — where guaranteed contracts, equity stakes, and even a new salary cap model could be on the table.

    If you’ve ever wondered how the business side of football actually works — and why players might be leaving money on the table — this episode breaks it all down.

  • Wall Street Moves In – Private Equity and the NFL's Billionaire Boys Club

    Wall Street Moves In – Private Equity and the NFL's Billionaire Boys Club
    Aug 12 2025
    For a century, NFL teams were family businesses. Now, they’re investment vehicles. In this episode of Moneyballers, we unpack the NFL’s groundbreaking decision to allow private equity ownership — a move that will reshape the future of the league. From skyrocketing franchise values to aging owners looking for exit strategies, we explore why the NFL finally opened the door to institutional investors and what that means for the game.

    You’ll learn what private equity really is, why firms like Arctos Sports Partners are already buying in, and how this shift could change everything from ticket prices to team decision-making. We also look at case studies like Josh Harris’s $6 billion Commanders deal, where private equity thinking has already started to transform NFL ownership. Finally, we ask the big questions: will fans feel the effects, will the NFLPA push back, and how far can finance influence football before it changes the sport itself?

    If you’ve ever wondered who really owns the NFL — and how Wall Street is becoming part of the huddle — this is the episode for you.
