Gambling on sports books has strongly increased in the states the last couple years.

to this point: in 2018 a federal court judgment determined that states can elect to allow sports betting, including online or app-based wagering. about 11 or so have done so, including big states like PA, NJ, IL, MI, CO, and even TN, and more are soon to follow.

As a aside, Caesars Entertainment which itself was acquired by Eldorado Resorts a few months ago then changed the name back to the original name and is the owner of Bally's is buying William Hill.

apparently the Bally's brand is being sold to the group that did this Sinclair deal. it's a company out of Rhode Island that mostly ran horse/dog tracks before getting money from the Kerzner family (major South African gaming/leisure operators: if you remember "I Ain't Gonna Play Sun City", they own Sun City and a ton of other Sun-branded properties in ZA) and moving into casinos. biggest states they operate in are Mississippi and Colorado, both of which have legal sports betting. (interestingly enough though none of the Colorado teams are on a Fox Sports channel anymore.)

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
Vince Young is the latest potential analyst the NFL has sent to Sky Sports to get some seasoning I presume so he can be given a bigger role in an NFL booth or studio show at some point, and I hope to god that one of the networks picks him up because he's drat good. Cliff Avril and Will Blackmon have done stints in the last few seasons and also should bigger roles

YoutubeTV cancelled Tennis Channel and only gave users 3 hours notice. All recorded content was also removed. Rumors are Sinclair, which owns Tennis Channel and the Fox Sports networks, is going to launch their own streaming service next year.

Considering live news and sports are the main reason why people subscribe to streaming package, I feel like the TV landscape is just going to get worse.

So this is cool; the Jimmy V Classic is going on in Indianapolis. Holly Rowe was on site doing sideline reporting but Play By Play and Color commentary were remote. Tech issues hit, and they lost connection to the remote booth.

Holly Rowe realized what happened and took over the whole drat show:

It was pretty hard to appreciate at the time because I was pretty sure a possibile top 5 pick had just torn his achilles but she and the producers really handled that incredibly well. Also remembering the time Dickie V, who I am guessing makes significantly more than she does, once had to do play by play for like two minutes because a player dove after a lose ball and annihilated his partner and it was some of the most horrible television I've ever seen.

I wouldn't mind seeing some experimentation with how games are called on television. Not that we need to put Dennis Miller back in the booth or anything, but it is kind of odd that we're here in 2020 (2020 being a stand-in for modern times, not "2020" the specific hell year) calling games on TV essentially the same way as they're called on the radio.

That show has been probably the best farm system for all their sports shouting personalities in general, but I'm excited/terrified to see what they do now that they are totally free of having to worry about what Disney thinks (as opposed to presumably kind of caring and then mostly ignoring it)
