Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal (Acquired) are hosts of the critically acclaimed podcast covering business history and strategy. Ben and David join the Armchair Expert on this special Super Bowl episode to discuss the metric of being right more often but having less fun, how the Super Bowl is the best weekend for a wedding, Disneyland, and Costco, and how LA refused to participate in early games due to segregation. David, Ben, and Dax talk about Teddy Roosevelt starting the NCAA in 1905 to prevent football fatalities, JFK passing antitrust legislation for televising football, and how the NFL uniquely collectivizes resources so all teams get equally distributed resources from league-wide television deals. Ben and David explain the breakdown of the gentleman’s agreement between the AFL and NFL to not poach players, how the formation of the NFL compares to the founding of the United States, and why Monday Night Football revolutionized modern television.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
