Richard Deitsch has a good read about how Tom Rinaldi moved over to Fox Sports. It'll probably only be interesting if you have the specific interest in the backstage dealings of the broadcast world, but does include the most perfect detail for a story about Tom Rinaldi:quote:But Zager kept in touch with CAA just to see what was going on and as the months went on, Rinaldi remained unsigned. As it got closer to the fall and into an open (negotiating) window for Rinaldi, Zager met with Rinaldi in that most 2020 way — via Zoom.

Other than money, why would Rinaldi move to Fox? Does he think he's going to become their Jimmy Roberts or something?

Josh Lyman posted:Other than money, why would Rinaldi move to Fox? Does he think he's going to become their Jimmy Roberts or something? His contract at ESPN ends as of 12/31/2020 and ESPN apparently wasn't going to re-sign or extend him. Seems like Fox is going to use him on a ton of stuff that they had the rights to, and Rinaldi wanted to roll with that. quote:Fox made an offer on the first day Rinaldi could receive contractual offers from others. “We wanted to show him that this was more than just a conversation and just getting to know him,” Zager said. “We wanted him to be here and felt like he could be a huge part of all of our events.”

James Andrew Miller (wrote that ESPN oral history book) said that Rinaldi specifically asked them not to match the offer so I don’t know that ESPN was entirely willing to cut him loose.

I haven't watched it a ton but when I do it's usually about as good as one of those shows can be. Mina is obviously great and Marcus Spears is the best player turned studio guy in a long time. Orlovsky sucks though. He was fun as a guy on Twitter just doing random QB breakdown videos but once he got to TV he immediately jumped onto the obnoxious hot take path.

The Athletic has a good breakdown on what the bowl cancellations cost ESPN (and Fox and CBS to lesser extents).The Athletic posted:Thus far, an estimated $21 million in TV advertising revenue alone has been lost from 14 canceled bowls, based on last year’s spending data provided by Chicago-based Standard Media Index that tracks ad spending. Most of the lost bowls are aired by ESPN or its family of networks, and the total includes the $1.29 million for the Celebration Bowl that’s functionally the national title game for historically Black colleges and universities. quote:Bowls are a nice payday under normal circumstances for ESPN, but they’re far from the network’s primary revenue driver.

The ESPN Megacasts for the CFP games will not have a coaches film room this year. This is all the alternate channel stuff:ESPN posted:Command Center (ESPN2): A multi-angle presentation, which includes up to four different vantage points at any one time, with statistics and real-time drive charts supplementing the game action.

Declan MacManus posted:the all-22 is cool but i’d rather have the coaches’ room than datacenter; if i wanted to look at statistics and twitter i could just... have twitter open I liked film room too, but I'm guessing the reason was somewhere between between Covid protocols and probably a general lack of interest or desire to all fly in somewhere, especially with the risk that one or both games could be delayed if teams pop positive. Then again on re-reading it they're only specifying this for the semifinal games, so it could be different for the finals. E: Oh also: quote:the main broadcast feeds will feature Sean McDonough, Todd Blackledge, Todd McShay and Allison Williams for the relocated Rose Bowl and Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Maria Taylor and Tom Rinaldi for the Sugar Bowl, but there will also be the ESPN Radio call (Joe Tessitore, Greg McElroy and Holly Rowe for the relocated Rose Bowl, Sean Kelley and Barrett Jones for the Sugar Bowl) and teams’ hometown radio feeds synced up with the game on ACC Network (Clemson and Notre Dame), SEC Network (Alabama) and the ESPN app (Ohio State). Additionally, Herbstreit will still be on color but calling it remotely as he tested positive a couple days ago. DJExile fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Dec 30, 2020 |

Also they should go back to doing it once a year anyway, there aren't enough coaches who are good at being on TV to justify doing a bunch of them and it had been getting worse every year.
