Thatsgoodsports is the YouTube home of Brandon Perna, a Denver Broncos devotee who built a following close to a million subscribers by framing NFL news through a deliberately absurdist, self-deprecating comedy lens. Operating under the persona of a "fake sports anchor," Perna leans into low-production parody and deadpan commentary rather than straight sports analysis — a format that rewards repeat viewers who appreciate the running joke as much as the actual football coverage. His content occupies a distinct pocket of the NFL creator ecosystem alongside contemporaries like Tom Grossi and the late-2010s wave of fan-led football comedy channels, and his collab and rivalry content with those peers has become a recognizable part of his output.
His audience skews almost entirely male and spans a wide age band, suggesting appeal both to younger NFL fans who found him through algorithm-driven discovery and older viewers who have stuck around since earlier in his run. Engagement rates well above the category median point to an unusually loyal community rather than passive subscribers. The sponsor mix — SeatGeek, PrizePicks, MANSCAPED, and Zocdoc — reflects a clean fit with the male sports-entertainment demographic brands actively target on YouTube. As NFL comedy content continues to mature as a genre, Perna's clearly defined Broncos-fan perspective and established peer network position him as a reliable mid-tier buy for brands seeking authentic access to the casual-but-committed football viewer.
Thatsgoodsports reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. As a sport creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include SeatGeek and Bear Mattress. Engagement on YouTube runs around 4.7%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

Thatsgoodsports is not a real sports journalist — the channel is built entirely around the persona of a fake sports anchor who covers NFL news through comedy and parody. The creator self-describes the content as 'bad football news presented in the form of even worse comedy,' leaning into satire rather than straight reporting.
Thatsgoodsports is a self-declared Denver Broncos fan and is completely upfront about it. The YouTube bio openly warns viewers that Broncos coverage will be biased, which is a recurring part of the channel's self-aware comedic tone rather than something the creator tries to hide.
Yes — Thatsgoodsports posted a video about physically playing football with fellow NFL YouTuber Tom Grossi, joking that Tom's ankles 'may never be seen again' after the game. Both creators operate in the NFL comedy YouTube space and have crossed over into each other's content on multiple occasions.
The video is a comedy piece using hyperbolic framing as part of Thatsgoodsports' signature style of taking absurd angles on familiar sports topics. It plays on the long-running frustration fans have with the Madden NFL video game series, amplifying that criticism to ridiculous extremes for comedic effect.
Thatsgoodsports covered a viral moment between NFL YouTubers Tom Grossi and Brandon Perna, framing it as Tom getting 'absolutely cooked' by Perna. This fits the channel's broader pattern of covering drama and notable moments within the NFL creator community alongside actual league news.
No — those sensationalist headlines are a deliberate part of the channel's parody format. Thatsgoodsports uses exaggerated, tabloid-style titles as a comedic device to lampoon the way mainstream sports media covers NFL stories, and the content itself is comedy commentary rather than real reporting.
Completely, and by design — the channel's own bio states 'My favorite football team is the Denver Broncos, and I will be very biased when talking about them.' This admitted bias is baked into the comedy brand rather than treated as a credibility problem the creator tries to avoid.
Jay Cutler is a retired NFL quarterback who began his career with the Denver Broncos before moving to the Chicago Bears, making him a natural subject for a Broncos-biased channel. Thatsgoodsports covered Cutler's story in the channel's retrospective comedy style, exploring what the quarterback has been up to since leaving the league.
Thatsgoodsports has worked with brands including SeatGeek, Bear Mattress, Zocdoc, PrizePicks, and MANSCAPED on sponsored YouTube content. The mix of ticketing, health, and lifestyle sponsors reflects the channel's overwhelmingly adult male fanbase.
Thatsgoodsports is approaching the one-million subscriber milestone on YouTube, placing the channel firmly in the mid-tier creator range. YouTube is by far the primary platform, and engagement there runs well above the category average, suggesting a highly loyal core audience.
