NBC is exploring whether to obtain the rights to broadcast a slice of the expanded College Football Playoff in 2026. Senior Writer Michael McCarthy and newsletter co-author Eric Fisher discuss the news, along with their takeaways from Sunday’s “Toy Story” NFL broadcast and Taylor Swift’s appearance on “Sunday Night Football.”

Plus, Dallas Stars president and CEO Brad Alberts speaks with senior writer Owen Poindexter about last season’s run to the Western Conference Final, growing hockey in the southern U.S., and why NHL expansion teams are so successful.
