Rich Eisen is YouTube's leading NFL play-by-play candidate for Chiefs-Chargers game: Sources

YouTube, as well as Netflix, have had difficulty procuring NFL play-by-play broadcasters and analysts as ESPN, Fox, NBC, CBS and Amazon have been hesitant to loan out their talent.
On Christmas Day last year, Netflix used personalities from all the networks. For Netflix, the Christmas Day games this season are being produced by CBS, which is one of the reasons its studio analysts, Nate Burleson and Matt Ryan, will be on the games. Drew Brees, who does not work for a network, will be a game analyst for Netflix, as well.
An added issue for YouTube on Sept. 5 is that a full NFL and college football slate of games means that most top play-by-players are already working that weekend. Eisen, who hosts NFL Network's pregame show and will be moving his radio show to ESPN the week of the Brazil game, is available for that Friday.
Eisen and Warner have teamed up previously as the duo is considered the NFL Network's No. 1 team, usually calling around seven games per year together.

📹 Call me up now! Neymar sends message to Ancelotti: I'm available
After scoring two goals in Santos' 3-1 victory over Juventude on Monday (4th), Neymar spoke about a possible return to the Brazilian National Team. After all, members of Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff were present at MorumBIS to follow Neymar's recovery, as he played five consecutive games, something that hadn't happened since 2022. "Happy to score two goals, to win again, which is the most important thing, and I think it's only going to get better for our team. Obviously, we made many mistakes today that we can't make, but we need to work to improve every day." "Everyone knows my football. I'm available. Regardless of anything, I'm an athlete, I still feel good, so it's up to them." Since October 2023, when he suffered a severe left knee injury, requiring surgery and sidelining him from the field for a year, Neymar hasn't played for the Brazilian National Team. In 17 games in the 2025 season for Santos, Neymar has six goals and three assists. Brazil concludes its participation in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in September, with matches against Chile on the 4th at Maracanã, and against Bolivia on the 9th, away from home. In third place with 25 points, the Brazilian National Team is already guaranteed a spot in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, as they can no longer be caught by Venezuela, which is in seventh place with 18 points.

Trade: Raiders are sending CB Jakorian Bennett to the Eagles in exchange for DT Thomas Booker IV, per sources. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 5, 2025 The Alabama-born cornerback entered college in 2018 at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. He played for two seasons in Community College before making the switch to a more notable program in Maryland. Bennett spent three seasons at Maryland. During his first year, he appeared in just four games. By year two, he made 12 appearances, registering 23 tackles and three interceptions. In his final season with the Terps in 2022, Bennett collected 26 tackles and two interceptions in 12 games.

Jakorian Bennett #0 of the Las Vegas Raiders warms up prior to a game against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on November 17, 2024 in Miami Gardens, 2023, Bennett entered the NFL Draft. He was a fourth-round pick for the Las Vegas Raiders. At the time, he was projected to be an "average backup or special teamer," by "High-cut cornerback who is more of a catch-challenger than an instinctive ballhawk. The high passes defensed total is an example of how aggressive Bennett is at the catch point, and he's clearly effective at tilting the 50/50 ball in his favor. However, his coverage tends to lack the needed anticipation and discipline to stay connected to NFL route runners. He has good size, but his coverage strength is a mix and match of man and zone with both featuring inconsistencies that will likely follow him into an NFL camp." via Lance Zierlein, NFL Analyst. During his rookie season in the NFL, Bennett picked up 14 games of action, four of which he started. As a rookie, he produced 32 tackles and three pass deflections. Last year, Bennett started in a career-high seven games, while seeing the field for 10 total matchups. He collected another 26 tackles while deflecting eight passes throughout the year. Booker parts ways with the Eagles after spending some time with the team as a depth piece. In 2022, Booker entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick for the Houston Texans out of Stanford. After suiting up for the Eagles during their Super Bowl-winning season, the 25-year-old defensive lineman will now take his talents to Las Vegas to make up for a key loss on the Raiders' defensive front.
