CHANGE FROM 2014: -3

McManus still is the only media executive who oversees two NFL packages, including Thursday night games that have seen big viewership increases this year. Plus, he has long-standing relationships with the Masters, SEC and NCAA. This year is a particularly important one for McManus, as he’s gearing his network up for Super Bowl 50 — a game that is set to be the biggest of the big games.
