The Chiefs just beat the Steelers, and we’re not hearing about any Paul vs Tyson-level issues other than scattered reports of weird buffering blips and TV going-to-sleep bugs.

As the NFL’s Netflix broadcasts threaten to dominate Christmas and people fret over ratings drops, today’s slate of NBA games includes a “Dunk the Halls” simulcast — similar to other overlay broadcasts we’ve seen recently — available on Disney Plus.

Here’s why the Jets didn’t trade for star receiver Jerry Jeudy, according to a devastating profile of the team in The Athletic:

Shaquille O’Neal ordered a custom coupe version of the electric sedan, equipped with floating Superman-logo center caps on the wheels and a front rebadge that replaces “Lucid” with “Diesel.”

Along with bringing a key plays section to the Play-By-Play tab, the latest Apple Sports update adds pregame lineups for soccer and baseball games as well.

It’s not a feature you typically associate with ski and snowboard gear, but POC’s new $550 Obex Connect helmet creates its own mesh network so you can talk with others on the hill even if you don’t have a cellphone signal.

TNT Sports is going to show some NBA 2K25 overlays over real-life 2024 Emirates NBA Cup quarterfinals and semifinals matches. Weird, but interesting.

Everything about this trailer is geared toward me specifically: the iconic “It’s in the game!” catchphrase, the debates over player ratings, the fact that Madden really has been the same damn game for like 10 years. This doc drops right around Thanksgiving, and even promises to share what’s coming next year. Which I will buy. And be bad at. Just like every year.

Last month, I published a story about tennis embracing the electronic line calling system — and all of the data, sports betting, and financial implications that come with it. Wimbledon, the most prestigious of the Grand Slams, just announced it will get rid of human line judges at next year’s tournament. At this point, the ELC takeover is inevitable.

There’s white smoke from ESPN’s HQ in Bristol, CT, today, as Shams Charania broke the news of his own free agent signing, saying:

You’ll be able to watch up to four Fubo channels simultaneously. “Additional” Roku devices are set to get the feature in the “coming weeks,” Fubo says.

Nike is moving on from CEO John Donahoe less than a week after Bloomberg published its unflatteringly-titled profile of his four-year tenure.
