Happy Friday, Matt. Happy Friday. Happy Friday. Happy Friday. We're back at it. Another Friday fun with Matt and Mike. You ready for this one today? Let's do it, man. I'm I'm Let's do more fun. I'm excited. It's a Friday. It's Friday. Oh, good. Good. Good. Good. So okay. I'm gonna give you five golfing scenarios Okay. At five different golf courses on five different holes. Where I'm a golfer or something? You're the golfer. Okay. I'm the golfer. Okay. You're gonna get a hole in one on this hole, and you have to rate what you think your experience would be. One to five. Okay. K. Oh, jeez. Okay. First one is a hole in one on number seven at Pebble Beach. Oh, I'm ecstatic. I'm playing Pebble Beach. That's awesome. The wind's blowing in your face. Thirty five mile per hour. Oh. Headway. Gee. Hey. You still get a hold of one, though. Headway. That's awesome. Just popped up there. I don't know what else is coming at me, but that's pretty damn good. I jeez. It's kind of two. Two. That's pretty freaking cool. Nice pebble beach. Okay. Second one, seventeenth at TPC Sawgrass. That's cool. Ton of fun, iconic golf course, but I think it's public. Whistles Pebble. But I'm gonna go three. Yeah. Three. Three is a good one. Three. Next one, number sixteen at TPC Scottsdale Waste Management. Oh. Crowd roaring. Oh, yeah. Like Sunday. Like, I'm a PGA Tour player. Everywhere. Sunday, two thirty in the afternoon. So this is either a one or a five. For those that just hate how that does the golf when it's been doing the golf, they'll hate it. But I think it just the the excitement there, the TV, everything's a little crazy, full crowd, beers getting dumped on you. Why don't I feel like you're, one of the Kelseys Roberts for a touchdown? There's one right now. This is number one. This is one. There you go. I I'm not giving your answer for you, but Yeah. That's a good answer. Yeah. Okay. Next one, the extreme nineteen at, Legends Golf Course in South Africa. Oh, this is the one you tee off from, like, a cliff, and it's like a hundred yard hole, but it doesn't travel four thousand feet or You got it. You got it. Holy cow. Just to be playing golf in Africa would be pretty sweet. But I've already done one, two, and three. This is such a unique hole four. That'd be the worst. One. Yeah. Well, next one is hole eighteen at Saint Andrews. It's a par four, about three hundred and fifty yards, but you get a hole because I can't get it that far. I can't I can't get it that far. I it's gotta be five because that's where we're at, but just happy to play Saint Andrews. You done goofed. That's a good one. Alright.

Report: Apple TV planned 14 iPhone 18 Pros at Dodger Stadium

Sports Video Group’s September 18 report outlined 14 iPhone 18 Pro specialty cameras at Dodger Stadium, including eight planned private-5G feeds. The announcement is not a post-event performance assessment.

  • 01Sports Video Group said Apple went from four iPhone 17 Pro cameras at Fenway Park in 2025 to a plan for 14 iPhone 18 Pro units at Dodger Stadium in 2026, alongside operational needs like remote control, monitoring, shading and reliable ingest.
  • 02Sports Video Group said Apple planned iPhone placements in spots traditional rigs often avoid and that eight feeds would run over a dedicated T-Mobile Private 5G Network, describing the game as a demonstration of private 5G for in-venue live contribution.

67 Red Wings games will air on Detroit SportsNet, streaming runs through MLB App

67 Red Wings games will air on Detroit SportsNet, streaming runs through MLB App

Detroit SportsNet will carry 67 Detroit Red Wings regular-season games in 2026-27. In-market streaming runs through a Detroit SportsNet tab inside the MLB App. Some games are still reserved for national telecasts.

  • 01Source language diverges on availability: MLB.com calls in-market streaming “blackout-free,” while the Red Wings’ NHL.com FAQ warns access is “subject to National Exclusivities,” a contract detail that matters for support and subscriber messaging.
  • 02Detroit SportsNet says in-market fans can subscribe directly and stream locally televised Red Wings games in the MLB App, while the Red Wings’ NHL.com page notes availability is subject to national exclusivities and terms may apply.

Serie A stays with CBS one more year, plans U.S. bid after World Cup

Serie A and CBS Sports exercised a mutual one-year option keeping the league’s U.S. rights on CBS Sports platforms through the 2026-27 season, Sports Business Journal reported, with most matches on Paramount+. Terms are believed unchanged from a 2024 renewal in the low eight figures, down from about $75M a year in 2021. The league plans to sell again after the World Cup.

  • 01Serie A's U.S. rights went from about $75M a year under the 2021 CBS deal to a low eight-figure renewal in 2024, according to SBJ, which described the drop as a significant financial haircut amid a softer market for European soccer rights.
  • 02The Bundesliga, represented by Relevent Sports under a 17-year partnership, is also in the market with its English- and Spanish-language U.S. rights beginning in 2026-27 after its ESPN deal expired, according to SBJ, while Serie A sells direct with no agency.
  • 03Serie A's Spanish-language U.S. deal with Fox Deportes has already expired, so a Spanish partner is an open item alongside the English package when the league returns to market after the World Cup.
