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

Whistle for Cash: The Money Behind NFL Referees, Instant Replay, and the AMGC

NFL referees might not be household names, but they’re making six-figure salaries and competing for the biggest payday of their careers: a Super Bowl assignment. In this episode of Moneyballers, we break down exactly how much referees make, how playoff and Super Bowl bonuses work, and what it really takes to get chosen for the biggest stage in football.

We also go inside the replay booth — the hidden operation that reviews every call, challenge, and crucial moment. From the technology costs to the replay officials themselves, we’ll explore why the league pours so much money into accuracy, how mistakes can ripple into millions of dollars in lost trust, and where the future of officiating might be headed.
