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

The NFL Sells Every Square Inch

Logos. Everywhere you look — on the field, in the stands, even in the Gatorade you drink. But behind every logo is a check, and behind every check is a billion-dollar business model. In this episode, Zach breaks down how sponsorships quietly bankroll the NFL — from naming rights that fetch $20 million a year to exclusive “official partner” deals that lock entire industries out of the game.

You’ll learn how the hierarchy of sponsorship works — league-wide versus team-level — and why “official” categories like apparel, betting, and streaming cost a fortune. We’ll talk about the brands reshaping modern football (Nike, FanDuel, Amazon), the science behind stadium naming rights, and how emerging tech and data deals are creating the next frontier of NFL monetization.

Because whether it’s the logo on a jersey, a stadium name, or the Gatorade cooler on the sideline — it’s not just branding. It’s business. Follow us on X, TikTok, and Instagram (links in our bio), and remember: the money always tells the story. We appreciate the support!
