Fanatics May Spend Up to $1B on Betting Ads in 2027
Fanatics plans to more than double the advertising spend for its gambling division to as much as $1 billion in 2027, up from approximately $350 million this year, in an effort to narrow the market share gap with industry leaders DraftKings and FanDuel. The privately held company intends to fund this increased marketing budget using revenue generated from its merchandise and collectibles businesses, which are projected to help overall revenue reach around $14 billion this year. Looking ahead to a more crowded betting landscape in 2027, company leadership remains committed to staying private without plans for an initial public offering.

Wild exec calls out Comcast amid TV impasse: ‘Why do hockey fans have to pay more?’
The Minnesota Wild are in a public carriage dispute with Comcast over the team's new local television broadcast arrangements following the end of their previous regional network deal. Executive Mitch Helgerson questioned why Comcast wants to place hockey games on a higher-priced tier, forcing subscribers to pay extra despite already charging a regional sports network fee. While games remain accessible through other platforms like Prime Video, Charter/Spectrum, and Fubo, team leadership continues to negotiate through the NHL to reach an agreement before the season progresses.

Colorado playbook allegedly found at hotel bar by opposing fan amid offensive woes
A Texas Tech fan reportedly discovered a 25-page Colorado Buffaloes game script at a hotel bar ahead of their matchup, later posting photos online that closely matched Colorado's opening plays in both halves. While the fan sought ways to deliver the playbook to Texas Tech, Colorado scored its only points of the game on an opening drive touchdown before its offense stalled once again. The incident adds to the ongoing offensive struggles under head coach Deion Sanders, whose team has managed just 27 points across its last three games.
