The Current State of MLB + Rodgers' Record Setting NFL Contract

PODCAST: Sports Business Radio Host Brian Berger and Sports Business Radio Co-Founder Keith Forman discuss the current state of MLB, how the current work stoppage could impact the league’s future and if baseball is a sport that resonates with the younger generation of sports and entertainment consumers. Berger and Forman also discuss how athletes and “citizen journalists” have changed the way we consume our news. Lastly, Berger and Forman look back on 32 years ago, when the duo were broadcasters for Loyola Marymount University and calling the game that LMU All-American collapsed and died at. In our Sports Business Radio headlines segment, we discuss the NFL's season-long suspension of Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley as well as the record setting 4-year, $200M contract for NFL back to back MVP Aaron Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers.
