"Billable Hours" also probably the No. 1 name for law school intramural basketball squads on campuses.

With the early U.S. exits (especially on women's side), I'm impressed with ESPN Wimbledon numbers. 488,000 viewers for men's/women's quarterfinals across ESPN/ESPN2. Best figure for the round in 6 years. 25% from 2024. And a great men's semifinal on right now with Fritz-Alcaraz.

If anyone thinks Apple would pay anywhere near $200 million annually for F1, I have a bridge to sell you. 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Sources telling me not to rule out ESPN from F1 media rights even with report on Apple TV today. Jimmy Pitaro, Roz Durant and Co. are remaining fiscally responsible. If it happens, it won’t be because ESPN overreached. But F1 looking at good numbers across ESPN this season.

Some solid EPSN holiday numbers. The Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest scored its best audience since 2014. The Savannah Bananas also got their best TV audience yet.

Out-of-home viewing added more than 30% to the in-home audience for the Gold Cup Final as measured by Nielsen. It’s a likely foreshadowing of next summer. The out-of-home audiences for the Men’s World Cup are going to be something else.
