A professional sports gambler used analytics to turn a $700,000 loan into more than $300 million. This is the wild story 👇👇👇
You know the WNBA conversation has officially gone off the rails when people are comparing it to Formula 1
The WNBA TV contract that was signed last summer is worth $200 million per year. Formula 1, a sport everyone puts on a pedestal, is HOPING to go for $180 million per year in their next contract. Guess which one gets talked about in a concern-troll tone about their business.
2.2 million for the WNBA all-star game is a great number, but you can't help but notice that ESPN compared it to the 2023 game (instead of 2024) because viewership was down 36% without Caitlin Clark playing this year
ESPN, ABC & @DisneyPlus scored historic viewership for the '25 #WNBAAllStar Weekend 👏 Skills Challenge & 3-Point Contest 🏀 1.3M avg. viewers WNBA All-Star Game 🏀 2.2M avg. viewers
Trump just said that he may block the new Washington Commanders stadium in DC unless the team changes its name back to the Redskins
During CBA negotiations, WNBA players are wearing "pay us what you owe us" t-shirts at the ASG. I have been saying for over a year that this might end in a lockout. The numbers don't make any sense. I'll write about it on Monday: huddleup.substack.com

The new F1 movie has crossed $400 million at the global box office, making it the 8th highest-grossing movie so far this year. The film had a budget of over $200 million.
That tribute to Lee Corso was phenomenal. The band, headgear, and gameday-like crowd. A special moment for the face of college football. Bravo 👏
An interesting detail about the new F1 movie is that they sold $40 million in sponsorships for their fictional team. Expensify’s CEO called it “one of the best brand placement opportunities ever." And the company hit a multi-year high on Google Trends the week of its release.
I missed this during Wimbledon but this is a fantastic ad from Audi 👏
You know the golf influencer space has gone too far when these guys are not only getting sponsor invites into real tournaments, but also expect to be able to bring their film crew on the course with them.
🚫🎥⛳️ #DENIED — YouTube golf mega star Grant Horvat has announced the PGA Tour will not allow his film crew to document competition rounds, citing media rights rules, therefore he has decided to not accept a sponsor’s invite into the Barracuda Championship this week. Should an…
The slow motion version of Cole Palmer’s fake pass and hesitation is pure art
The trailer for Netflix's new series "SEC Football: Any Given Saturday" has officially dropped. Produced by the same people behind F1's Drive to Survive, the series follows 10 SEC teams throughout the 2024 season. Looks incredible.
The F1 LEGO car is even cooler in person. At a near 1:1 scale of a real F1 car, each LEGO car is made of 400,000 LEGO bricks and can drive up to 12 mph. This is the one Max and Yuki drove in Miami.
The Orient Express luxury train has added a golf itinerary across Italy. Guests will play four courses in four days: • Marco Simone Golf & Country Club • Franciacorta Golf Club • Royal Park I Roveri • Antognolla Golf Club Starting price = $16,500 per person
