While Warner is certainly more current/practiced than Eisen, he's all of 2
years younger. Greg Olsen, 40, who was allegedly demoted in favor of Tom Brady
for the last Super Bowl FOX broadcast, might be a better target.

Obviously a free stream is going to outdraw a paywalled one. It’s more notable
that YouTube could manage the stream without glitches. This might have been, as
much as anything, a test of YouTube’s livestream technology and it passed. I
had no problem finding the game as I subscribe to the NFL channel but I can see
how others might have difficulty. I texted a friend to see if he was watching
and he said he couldn’t get the stream to load.
I have no issues with Rich Eisen as a host. He shouldn’t be doing NFl
play-by-play though. If YouTube wants to market its game to a younger audience
with Mr Beast and a bunch of YT talent they can find a young announcer who’s a
standout calling college games and bring them aboard. Kurt Warner does a lot of
Westwood One games and he was solid as an analyst.

The streamer said 17.3 million folks logged on to view the Chargers/Chiefs
clash in Brasil... altho only just over 1 mil were outside the US... Dan
Patrick on his radio/Peacock show today noted that he couldn't find the primary
stream, where his ex-SportsCenter mate Rich Eisen did play-by-play... instead
found a secondary, Manningcast-like feed presided over by influencer
