Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Wed Aug 19 2026
Description: Ken Carman and Anthony Lima celebrate news that the IX Center's amusement park attractions are sticking around after Haslam Sports Group struck a lease deal, complete with an old commercial jingle and a wild story from Lima's youth group days there. They pivot into the ongoing debate over the NFL possibly placing a franchise in London, breaking down cost of living numbers that show players would take a massive real world pay cut. The two also rip into the league's 17 game push, arguing the product is getting watered down while shrinking talent pools make expansion look even worse.
