    The College Football Playoff is taking a page from the Super Bowl as it negotiates its next round of media rights.

    Plus, we hear from NFL legend Ed McCaffrey, father of San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey, on how the league has changed over the decades and his son Christian’s progression as a player.
