NFL popularity, Shannon Sharpe sex, Mike Florio

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller

2024 Week 1 was the most-watched opening week in NFL history. Is the game better than it’s ever been? How good are the games we are getting week after week out of 10? How does it compare to the game 25+ years ago? What has gone into making the games more viewed than ever before? Shannon Sharpe was caught having sex on Instagram, but said those devious hackers got after him. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said if it’s in question now that Russell Wilson won’t play this week, we knew it would never be Wilson last week. Mike thinks this is a great opportunity for the Steelers to see what they have in Justin Fields and if it goes south, they can flip back to Wilson. Mike said Wilson is seeing his NFL mortality right before his eyes and that could explain why he is salty after Week 1. Will Deshaun Watson will the Browns QB by the time the Steelers play them? Mike commented on the NFL’s growing popularity and the viewership being higher than it has seemingly ever been.
