An absolute killer for @bluejaysbot.bsky.social fans that tonight's massive game is on Apple TV.

Some broadcaster news: •Kenny Albert-Jonathan Vilma-Sara Walsh will call Browns-Vikings Week 5 game from London. • Rich Eisen-Kurt Warner-Walsh have Broncos-Jets Week 6 from London. •Eisen-Warner-Walsh have Rams-Jaguars Week 7 from London. All games on the NFL Network.

This is such a great piece. You probably don't notice how many new baseballs are used in a single MLB game. Via @tylerkepner.bsky.social: The fleeting life of a baseball in the modern Major Leagues. www.nytimes.com/athletic/663...

An underrated benefit of CC viewership-wise. She brought in a new group of fans who probably had not seen Kelsey Mitchell play much. Maybe they heard of Aliyah Boston from SC but were not totally familiar. Now they see how great these players are. Part of why Fever games are still rating nicely.

The NFL's relationship with YouTube is just getting started and if I had to make a prediction — a streamer will get a Super Bowl before 2040.

The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski profiled Michael Grady, one of the up-and-coming national broadcasters in basketball (both NBA and WNBA). www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

Imagine telling a Blue Jays fan in 2022 that Manoah would be DFA’d in three years.

The @espnpr.bsky.social shade here on the competition is delicious. Back in the day, Fox Sports PR and ESPN PR used to throw haymakers at each other — often filtered through USA Today.

The first round of the WNBA playoffs are up 123 percent from 2023. Not a misprint. They are down 15 percent from last year (1.1M) So what does that tell you? It tells you they miss ratings unicorn Caitlin Clark, for sure. But also the growth of the WNBA continues. Longterm: 🔼🔼🔼

The @tempobasketball.bsky.social should think seriously about hiring Sandy Brondello (if she's interested, of course.) There are other very good candidates but this would be an exceptional head coaching hire.

The two games, just as an FYI, are considered home games.

The @tempobasketball.bsky.social will play two games in Montreal this season. Smart. This franchise has a real chance to get national support early. I will keep saying what I have written for years now: The WNBA will succeed big in Toronto. www.nytimes.com/athletic/451...

They went all-in. Respect.

The NFL Today absolutely crushed the intro for its throwback show. The graphics are on point and props to Ian Eagle and JJ Watt for playing along on the remote.

For those interested, the WNBA MVP raw voting. It wasn't close.

What an incredible series win by the Indiana Fever. Some kind of finish for @wnba.com in that game.

Russian state-controlled media outlets and allied social media accounts have seized on the killing of Charlie Kirk to push narratives that favor the Kremlin and aim to divide Americans, researchers say.

This is the ballgame here. Creatives who make money for industries who can't be duplicated have REAL power here. Something I've always thought about re: sports — and certainly prior to NIL: Imagine if college athletes before a title game decided to hold out for $$$ directly from the TV nets.....
