For all the ugly scheduling, This could get worse
The NFL’s long-time scheduling guru has scheduled his retirement.
Via Ben Fischer of
Sports Business Journal, NFL senior V.P. of broadcasting and media operations Howard Katz
will retire after the 2025 schedule is set in May.
Katz, 75, is a former TV executive who has spent more than 20 years with the NFL. During Monday’s session at the annual league meetings, Commissioner Roger Goodell praised Katz for his efforts on behalf of the league.
“I was flabbergasted,” Katz told Fischer. “I did not expect that, and the reaction was very emotional. To be surrounded by a group of owners -- and I’m often getting yelled at by them because they don’t like things in their schedule -- they gave me a standing ovation. It blew me away.”
Katz, who won the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award in 2022, said the league’s ability to make and implement a schedule during the first year of the pandemic stands out above everything he did on the job.
