White House fires back after New York governor takes swipe at Trump about 'NFL RedZone' featuring commercials
Kansas City Chiefs first-round pick Josh Simmons is on track to be the starting LT. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes discuss what this means for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
The White House fired back at New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday after the Democratic lawmaker took a swipe at President Donald Trump over a major change coming for NFL fans.
Scott Hanson, who hosts "NFL RedZone" on Sundays during the football season, said there will be commercials coming to the broadcast despite the tag line of the show being "seven hours of commercial-free football."
"The business folks handle the business, and I have no say over different elements that could or could not be in the show," Hanson said on "The Pat McAfee Show."

"When you see me come on the air, we’re gonna hit the Octobox. We’ve got eight games in the early window, taking you around to all the different cities. And then when we get into it, ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s been more than 250 days since the first full NFL Sunday, but we are back. And seven hours of RedZone football starts now.’"
He maintained that no fan would miss "any great football for any of the business side of things."
Hanson’s revelation sparked a ton of social media reaction, including from Hochul. She called on ESPN and the NFL to "fix" the issue. "RedZone" will move to ESPN properties starting in 2026.
