The NFL is a smart business organization with a vested interest in making sure there is a lot of content to draw fans to their on-the-field product. Though the actual broadcast rights to games rake in huge money for the league, constant engagement via daily talk shows, local coverage, and their very own NFL Network pipeline of all things football are ways to keep fans dialed in even during the offseason. Serving up all that material in professional fashion is much harder than it looks, so the league started a broadcast boot camp program with its media partners 15 years ago to prepare former (and current) players for roles on television and radio.
Notes: Jason Cabinda is destined for the broadcast booth
