It seems like there's more questions than answers with this announcement. But is this a move that they are making for the long-term, or is it just a trial? Either way, it will make watching MNF next year interesting. Because now it's only Gruden as the analyst. We will see if ESPN made the right call or not.

Add Toronto to that conversation. Jack Armstrong and Matt Devlin will continue to work in their previous roles. Williams played with the Raptors from to , and has had a role with the Sportsnet broadcast since , mostly as a studio analyst.
Rautins is a staple in Canadian basketball, serving a number of different roles for the Canadian National Team. However Rautins did not last too long away from the Toronto Raptors, as he announced today on Twitter that he will be returning for the TSN broadcast for the upcoming season.
Rautins previously worked for TSN as an in-studio analyst for Raptors games. His role for the upcoming season with TSN has not quite been defined yet. It will be interesting to see how Williams will be able to adjust to his new role, but it seems like this move can work out for both Williams and Rautins in the end.

While the league is accepting bids for the out of market package, Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic reports that it does have an ideal outcome in mind. That outcome? Kaplan writes that the NFL would like to be in business with Apple. Goldman Sachs was enlisted over the summer to help sell those properties.
Representatives for the NFL declined to comment for the story. Apple owning and controlling NFL Media would ensure mass availability and an ability to stay ahead of the curve in terms of technology and presentation. Despite all of the bluster about the College Football Playoff expanding to include 12 teams and what that could do for revenue for all of the conferences involved, the ACC, Big Ten and PAC are willing to derail the process.
While ESPN has denied being involved in the effort to get the two marquee properties in the Big 12 to leave for the SEC, league commissioners are not buying it. A bigger SEC, particularly one that includes Oklahoma and Texas, likely means more of the 12 available spots go to the conference.
Forde pointed out that it is possible if everyone has the same goal that a change could be made in time for the season. That seems unlikely now. Dan Patrick added that he had heard that 12 may not be a number etched in stone. The CFP could expand to 8 or even 16 teams.
