One thing fox and CBS have. Is that they don't have to depend on subscribers like ESPN.

I think the biggest problem they're facing is when I was younger, you'd have to sit through their show in order to see the highlights of the one game you care about or to hear them cover your team for all of 5 minutes. You don't have to do that anymore, simply because the content is on demand, you can find specifically what you're looking for. Not only that, but am I going to pay like 50 bucks a month or w/e it is to get a cable subscription to see them? Nope. The only use they have is as a topic setter for when I'm at a bar with people who like sports.

When KZread announced they were buying rights to show NFL games I didn’t see the appeal, but if they allowed creators such at Brett to livestream the games and add personal content to the streams I actually think I’d consider paying.

It’s really simple. ESPN has sucked for a decade. They’ve been very open about the fact that they(much like other mainstream media networks Fox/CNN for example) base their entire programming on creating controversy. They also have obvious agendas. I know that every time I turn on ESPN, someone will be yelling at me about Lebron or the Cowboys. It’s boring and annoying at the same time. It’s hard for me to feel super bad for most of these folks. They got the incredible opportunity to make great money to do a dream job. They didn’t do it well enough. Most folks never get the opportunity.

Im glad I stumbled on your channel during Covid. I started taking an interest in football in 2014. But after watching your videos i now really understand playbooks both offensively and defensively. Even helped me in Madden. Never got that from regular TV sports shows.

Ayyyy, love the KZreadr shoutouts. Man truly represents his friends and community

Great video as usual. Love all your content. Your sets for this channel and bootleg are spectacular. Great pad and decor. Take over the North

Brett I gotta say a few things, first off, you're my favorite sports media person. Your strategy breakdowns and the way you speak to us the viewer, it's honestly not just fantastic but also refreshing. Secondly I appreciated that you started this off by explaining your background in sports media because I always wondered how you got so good at what you do. Thirdly, as a born and raised new Englander I'd rather listen to you say good things about Mahomes or the Jets than Stephen A Smith say nice things about the Pats because the way you present the information is humble but smart while never treating the viewer as dumb. I never played football at any level but I honestly think I gain a better understanding of the concepts that make football great when I watch your videos. Alright I'm several glasses into this weirdly bromantic speech so I'll wrap it up by saying, love the work, keep it up (and also would love a breakdown as to why you do or do not think Mac Jones has a chance in the league)

Love shouting out all the creators in the space doing great work. Everyone’s killing it and there’s so little drama (other than big fish) I love it

@@PaulGaither okay let me say this. They shouldn’t be race baiting and pushing for you to vote specificity for one party. Woke is just an easy term to use. It doesn’t define anything about me for using the word. However it does define what I’m talking about pretty well.

I learned a ton about football from this channel and am glad I went to youtube once I realized how much I liked the sport. Thanks for the nerd stuff Brett, didn’t know I needed a calm, winding down type of football content to end the day and it’s very much appreciated

When you talk about wanting to simulcast and comment on games, it reminded me of what Steve Dangle of Leafs Fan Reaction has been doing, but with hockey. Can’t imagine football will be far behind.

Algo must have seen that I watch Dorktown and sent me here, and i have to say, what a pleasant surprise. Really nuanced, intelligent takes on Sports and the industry as a whole. Subbed. Keep up the good work man!

Ha! I'm halfway through the video at the part where you're showing your studio/office. Before that, I was thinking, "Man, he's set up at what looks like a top-tier tasting room. Nice!" Great content, btw. As an NFL fan and Xs and Os nerd, your channel is the best.

Just discovered you channel. I haven't had cable in years, but if there's something I've missed from ESPN the entire time, it's been the NFL Matchup style breakdowns. You got yourself another sub.

This was one of the most interesting videos I’ve watched in a while. You hit the nail on the head with all your points

this channel kinda the reason i was more into football i went from being a casual watcher to avid fan im glad espn is realizing we want people who know the sport to TALK about the sport and not hot takes for shock value

Brett, you stand out from other sports media because your actual love for the game is what makes it interesting. You're not trying to sell me on something, you're objective, your videos are approachable. What Pat did to you on his show was disgusting and your attitude about it has only given me more appreciation for you. I can't wait to see what you've got for us in the future.

The long and winding road I enjoyed you explaining how you got to where you are now Looking forward to watching your future videos 😅

I’m still waiting on that “I’ve watched every snap of Tom Brady’s Career.” video 😂

The "how you make ppl feel" is spot on Mr.Kollmann. That's honestly what kept me coming back to your content at first... there's just a certain feel... same with Flemlo

Been watching since day one you’ve come a long way

The insight into You, your work and how you got here was incredible. Anyone can break down Xs and Os, but only you can tell the story of your own journey. Great stuff, Brett.

The fact that this channel is made by a football nerd for football nerds is precisely the reason I watch. Great stuff! All hail the football nerds!

Great perspective! Growing up watching morning Sportscenter before school and always wanting to be in sports media, KZread has given me a way to fulfill those dreams even if part time. I think people have so many options and have gravitated towards KZread as an outlet, it's easy and they get to interact with their favorite content creators a little bit. Being able to "touch" the brand so to speak makes fandom more sticky.

I'm seeing this vid and the way you described how you explain playbooks (esp. plays) and defenses is exactly why I got interested in those subjects in the first place. You've been able to explain concepts in ways that makes people who are more causal fans get more interested in the game. I remember seeing your first vid about why Carson Wentz was struggling in 2020 and I've been hooked to your channel ever since. Big fan though I miss seeing you prepare a drink in the intro/outro.

Love you shouting out all your peers what a guy

As someone going into college this fall on the sports media track, I appreciate the insight

"That nerdy shit" yeah, I have coached and i love Xs & Os which is why i watch your content. I used to watch Edge NFL Matchup at like 7-8am and the like 1am replay and missed learning about what concepts teams on both sides of the ball and I KNOW that show did not get very many views but im a nerd and was willing to be awake that early to learn.

I didn’t know about your background in tv so thank you for your unique insight on this issue.

Had never been exposed to your channel before this video. Checked out your library, love your analysis, love your sincerity. Subbed

One thing to add about the decline of the debate format show. People that want that can log on to Twitter and perfectly tailor the debates they want to engage in while actively participating in them. To your point, it seems clear the future of sports entertainment will be a hard pivot from that format.

The same effect is happening in legacy news media. CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, have been tanking for years; now even Fox is tanking after cutting Tucker Carlson (regardless of your opinion) the biggest show on news tv

Great plug for your pod, I had no idea it existed, lol.

I get that a lot hahaha

Brett, your brand is explaining the unkown complexity of football in a way an idiot such as myself can understand. All the other stuff you do is icing, and hopefully you don't let the icing get in the way of the cake... you thick boi.

Here’s the big problem with ESPN. They don’t actually talk about sports. I don’t care about who’s the GOAT, I care about the battle for the guard spots for the NY Giants. I ain’t even gonna sniff that conversation on ESPN.

It’s important to note that KZread viewership isn’t necessarily at the expense of network viewership. I have never and would never put on ESPN in the mornings, but putting on the Gross Perna Show has become a routine part of my Monday Wednesday and Friday mornings

Really appreciate your vulnerability around being in front of the camera for the first time. Been a fan since the beginning of the channel, hope it keeps growing!

There is no need for 12 hours of sports media hot take hustlers on TV when people on KZread do it for free. A single guy getting a wrong take makes himself look bad, an entire network backing the wrong horse in the NBA championship is inexcusable

Great video as always genuinely never a bad upload. Not for nothing I legit thought you had a green screen going for the back ground, That's insane that it is real I'm happy to see you moving up in the world and getting more successful and better you deserve it
