    ESPN analyst Jay Williams opens up about ESPN; the name, image, and likeness era; and his desire to buy 49% of Duke basketball in a conversation with Front Office Sports editor-in-chief Dan Roberts at the Tuned In summit.

    Plus, Matt Schwimmer, CEO of Playmaker HQ and GM of Action Network, joins to discuss the new era of high-profile athlete-led podcasts in light of the Kelce brothers signing a reported $100 million deal with Amazon.

    Also, the weekend put a number of high-profile quarterbacks in the spotlight for very different reasons, namely Tua Tagovailoa, Deshaun Watson, and Arch Manning.
