The NCAA gives them a run for their money, but no single entity has done more damage to college football as a sport/cultural phenomenon than ESPN.

How is any California race a G1 at this point?
How on earth is the Hollywood Derby a G1?

It looks as if the majority of Kentucky Downs dates in 2026 will overlap with Saratoga, including Travers Day

I love the SEC, but in a 12 team playoff format I don’t want to hear how a 3 loss regular season team “deserves” to be in. You lose more than 2 games in the regular season, you shouldn’t be allowed to complain. Happened the last 2 years. And as quickly as people will point out

Ugly handle day for Aqueduct, Gulfstream and Del Mar
More like Red Friday. Can't help but wonder how much handle would have been up if @ABRLive had gone to @TheNYRA Aqueduct today instead of Japan. Instead it's an 11% drop per race. Big days for @ChurchillDowns, @LaurelPark, @parxracing, & @deltadowns (full takeout) at least

Texas lost to Ohio State and is 9-3. There are a lot of other non-conference games that Texas could have scheduled. Would they have lost some of those? Yes. Texas has no business in the College Football Playoff. Let’s not make this a “thing.”

Are the Cowboys going to catch the Eagles for the NFC East title? It was an insane thought a week ago. Barring a miracle, Philly will be 8-4 and Dallas will be 6-5-1.

People will still watch no matter how incompetent the refereeing is
Are refs ruining the NFL viewing experience? The NFL TV success is being threatened by its own referees. Too many games are marred by ticky-tack or questionable calls. There’s no flow, no pace, because they’re constantly interrupted by thrown flags. By @MMcCarthyREV ⬇️

Question nobody in sports media ever asks Magnus (or Pitaro): In the latest quarter, ESPN's operating income fell 2% from the previous year's period. Is this the future for ESPN's business? If not, where is ESPN's profit growth going to come from?
