I had the opportunity to interview NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger at the Super Bowl LX Media Center in San Francisco for a wide-ranging conversation about football, film study, and today’s sports media landscape. Brian shares his thoughts on Dylan Cook’s breakout, takes us inside his process behind “Baldy Breakdowns,” and discusses how NIL and money are changing college football. He also offers practical advice for aspiring sports media creators and explains the story behind his now-iconic finger injury.
