Yahoo Sports Launching Internet Talk Show "Mostly Football"

Former NFLer Martellus Bennett will "start in a new position next week with Yahoo Sports as host of live internet talk show 'Mostly Football.'" The show will be "produced by Yahoo Sports and Complex Networks." It launches Sept. 6 at 7:00pm ET and "will run weekly on Thursdays throughout the NFL season." For Yahoo Sports, which sits in Verizon’s Oath group, “Mostly Football” is part of the telcom company’s "stepped-up investment in sports -- and in this case specifically, Verizon’s five-year deal with the NFL reached" in late '17. The goal for Yahoo Sports has been to "build out a broader set of content for the NFL season, centered around the live games, with original content and fantasy football all in one place" (VARIETY.com, 8/30).
