À propos de cette écoute

 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.

    • How the NFL Splits Money Between Franchises - and Why Every Owner Sleeps Just Fine

      How the NFL Splits Money Between Franchises - and Why Every Owner Sleeps Just Fine
      Aug 21 2025
      Ever wondered how 32 billionaires (plus half a million Packers shareholders) manage to split billions of dollars and still walk away happy? In this episode of Moneyballers, we pull back the curtain on the NFL’s revenue-sharing system — from the equal national checks every team cashes to the quirks of gate receipts, premium seating, local revenue, and the all-important salary cap. We’ll explain why each franchise gets over $430 million a year before selling a single ticket, how the league balances financial parity with local upside, and why stadium design and premium suites matter more than you think.

      This is the playbook for how the NFL’s money machine keeps owners aligned, players capped, and fans always paying for the show. You’ll hear why revenue-sharing is the league’s secret sauce, how it shapes team-building strategies, and why it guarantees the NFL remains the most financially stable sports league in the world. And stick around until the end — we’ll tease next week’s episode on why the NFL will never get rid of the preseason (hint: follow the money).

    • 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.
