time to post doodles from last night at 7 am

Coworker: Oh man, Raven, my dude, you're so good at drawing

Raven: Thanks

Coworker: If you ever become famous artist, I'm selling this one

Raven: Bro. It's a 10 minute fast sketch of you. You think anyone would buy it? Also I highly doubt that I'd ever become famous for my art

Coworker: Why not?

Raven: First of all, I suck at self promotion, secondly I'm so awkward with people that it's generally thought that I am a character from one of those muggle games, thirdly, people aren't looking for the style I have, nor the characters I do

Coworker:

Raven: Basically they want a fanartist, not someone who creates original content. Also they don't want it to be too realistic like mine, they prefer that... Uhh... Disneeee isc style more

Coworker: Oh, they want Disney with the thick outlines and cartoonish look, I getcha, it's a pity

Raven: *shrugs* It's life

So I guess that you already guessed where this is going, Raven's second (and main) blog. @rzdraws is the blog he spends time the most, posting art that he's made, character designs, sometimes fanart, links to his speedpaints and his shop where you can buy the said works (though the works at the shop are mainly of original characters due to the copyright stuff being so strict)

Sure, the blog doesn't have HP content (yet, I'm sure you'll take it upon yourselves to fix that), after all his mind is always somewhere else, bouncing up and down with ideas to draw and create. However, he is up for suggestions and you can ask stuff from him there too. And no, he doesn't post only anime styles art, he actually has at least three styles that he uses when drawing.

So if you could check it out, he'd be super grateful for it. Confused and stuttering mess but still grateful.

And before you ask, he's currently an anxious ball in the corner, the one currently writing this is his brother whom you might know as "Findor". I'm basically doing this because I got real fed up with the fact that he spends hours upon hours producing this imo good content and people just gloss over it unless he posts of something that's super popular and that's fucking messed up. (Yeah, I know that you're not supposed to curse on this blog but 'm in charge of this phone until Raven comes back to his senses mwahahahahaa)

So yeah, RZDraws is where you can find him, give him suggestions, ask questions directly from him, see what he really enjoys making and so forth. Also if you reeeeaaaally like some of his art you could maybe perhaps plsyes reblog that so your pals can see it?

Also if you do check him out, tell him that I sent you. He's got anon option there too so even the shyest of you should be good to go.

Now if you won't mind, I'll be resuming to torment praise my dearest brother

Hey, How’s About I Actually Post About Coding?

So, yeah.  I’m a programmer; a web developer; full-stack developer; software developer... meh, it depends upon the task, I suppose.  I build everything from one-off task solutions to full-stack web sites.  My primary language of choice (although I’m trying to expand that) is Perl (object-oriented), usually using the Dancer2 web framework and DBIx::Class library to speak to databases, running on some flavor of Linux and under Apache, plackup, nginx or starfish.

I also do front-end work, mostly working with either the Bootstrap framework or Foundation, with javascript and jQuery under the hood.

Right now, I’ve got about 4 projects sitting on my desk, two contracted, two personal.  My primary project is working for ISC out in California (they’re the guys who made BIND, the stuff that makes the internet work).  It’s my main money-maker.  My second contract is with a small, local store, The Quilt Patch.  I maintain their website, post class updates, and other maintenance stuff.  Little do they know, I’ve been working in my spare time to completely rewrite their (horrible) website to be current with modern practices, use responsive design, and give some better customer support and capabilities.  Essentially, I’m dragging them kicking and screaming into the present.

After that, my two priority projects are trying to launch my game company, Infinite Monkeys Games, and get my online art gallery back online, and updated to modern standards.

It often feels overwhelming, especially since I’m also a stay-at-home parent.  But, when things work and are finished, it’s an awesome feeling.

15+5+5 To Watch

15 TO WATCH/5 SPORTS TECH/POWER OF SPORTS 5: RICK HORROW’S TOP SPORTS/BIZ/TECH/PHILANTHROPY ISSUES FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 14

with Jacob Aere

A single tweet from Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey escalated into a geopolitical crisis, pitting the NBA's progressive brand against the influence of Chinese money. According to CNN Business, all of the NBA's official Chinese partners have now suspended ties with the league in the wake of Morey’s provocative (and soon deleted) tweet about Hong Kong freedom last week. And months after paying billions of dollars to extend its streaming deal with the NBA, Tencent Holdings has "suspended all reports/streaming of Houston Rockets." Notably, nearly 500 million people in China watched the NBA on Tencent last season. The New York Times further quoted a source who stated that “China’s punitive response could cost the Rockets around $25 million this season,” and Yahoo Sports last Wednesday reported that “at least five unnamed teams fear that the $116 million salary cap projected for the 2020-2021 season could drop by as much as 10-15%.” Obviously, the NBA has significant business interests in China. At the same time, it has positioned itself as the most progressive of mega American sports leagues by supporting social activism. Will those values be upheld now that the league's bottom line is at risk?

Last Sunday was the final day of the MLS regular season, which means the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs bracket is officially set. After an almost two-week break (which many claim is way too long), the 14 MLS teams advancing to the playoffs return to the pitch coast to coast on October 19-20, covered by MLS’ national broadcast partners ESPN, FOX Sports, and Univision. In other top MLS end of season news, LAFC Captain Carlos Vela set the new single-season MLS scoring record with 34 goals, breaking Atlanta United Josef Martinez's record of 31, which he set last year. (Vela and his LAFC squad have a first round bye and then face the winner of Minnesota-LA Galaxy match on October 24.) And Inter Miami has the No. 1 pick in the MLS Expansion Draft on November 19 after winning the "Expansion Draft coin flip” in New York. The team has "first dibs" over fellow 2020 expansion team Nashville SC and also has the No. 1 pick in the college Superdraft in January, according to the Miami Herald.

Elsewhere in MLS, DC United has ended their broadcast deal with subscription-based streaming service FloSports after less than a year. The four-year local media rights deal, which was only signed in January, was worth a reported $12 million, according to the Washington Post. The team’s final regular-season home game of the year, against FC Cincinnati on October 6, was made available to all fans for free through a live stream on DC United’s official website. The move brings to an end what proved to be a problematic deal for DC United. Fans of the franchise were initially unhappy at having to pay between $5.99 and $8.99 per month for FloSports, which was compounded when the streaming service suffered technical difficulties. DC United’s draw against New York City FC in March, for example, was marred by interruptions. The partnership never fully recovered and now the club is on the hunt for a new local media rights partner in time for next year.

The Washington Mystics overcame the Connecticut Sun to win Game 5 of the WNBA Finals and claim the franchise's first championship. The win delivered long-awaited titles to the WNBA's best player, Elena Delle Donne, as well as its all-time winningest coach, Mike Thibault. League MVP Delle Donne, whose sponsors include Nike, Gatorade, and Christiana Care Health System, put up 21 points and 9 rebounds in 37 minutes, while Belgian sensation Emma Meesseman finished with a team-high 22 points and became the first bench player to ever win WNBA Finals MVP. The victory also marked the second time in 16 months that a D.C. sports team had won its first title (after the Capitals won the Stanley Cup in June, 2018), and the second time in two days that a D.C. sports team played arguably its most memorable game, after the Nationals beat the Dodgers to advance to the NLCS last Wednesday. The Nationals hold a 2-0 advantage over the St. Louis Cardinals in the league championship series, and have to win at least 6 more games, including the World Series, to reach the Mystics’ lofty heights.

The XFL locked in its player draft to take place on October 15-16. According to Cynopsis Sports, player selections will be announced on XFL.com, @xfl2020 on Twitter, @xfl on Instagram, and through the social media channels of the eight XFL teams. Over the two-day draft, each XFL team will populate a 71-man roster by selecting players from a set of positional groupings. One quarterback will be assigned to each team prior to a five-phased draft, phased with 1) Skill players 2) offensive line 3) defensive front seven 4) defensive backfield, and 5) an open draft of all positions. The draft pool will include approximately 1,000 professional football players, all of whom accepted a Commissioner’s Invitation and passed a standard background check.

ISC exec Grant Lynch drives into sunset. Sunday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series 1000 Bulbs 500 at Talladega Superspeedway marked the final race of Rick’s friend longtime track Chairman Grant Lynch’s tenure, and ISC put out a video thanking him for the 26-year run. Lynch joined the track in January 1993, and over the years he has become one of NASCAR's most well-known and respected track executives, influential behind the scenes and constantly doing media appearances. Lynch is retiring after this year and is set to be replaced by Talladega's vice president of marketing and sales Brian Crichton. Daytona International Speedway, the flagship track of Talladega’s parent company, ISC, released a montage Sunday morning with several senior executives sharing their memories and thanking Lynch, including NASCAR Vice Chairman Mike Helton, ISC President John Saunders, and Chief Innovation and Development Office Craig Neeb. Alas, we won't know the outcome of Sunday's playoff race until Monday, as rain delayed the race's conclusion. Talladega also unveiled their new $50 million infield renovation this past weekend – which will serve as a lasting legacy to Lynch.

SoFi sees new Rams and Chargers home as an efficient way to market. For a reported $400 million over 20 years, SoFi, a financial startup that provides student and personal loans, was awarded the naming rights to the Los Angeles stadium that will soon be home to the Rams and Chargers, two teams that relocated to Los Angeles within the past three years. The stadium is set to open in 2020, and AdWeek went behind the scenes to investigate why the young tech company made such a significant investment there. As AdWeek noted, the partnership guarantees that SoFi will be associated with the 2022 Super Bowl, the 2023 College Football Playoff, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2028 Olympics, all of which will take place at SoFi Stadium. It also doesn’t hurt that the stadium is only three and a half miles from LAX, guaranteeing SoFi free additional advertising from every flight in and out of the city.

The Los Angeles Chargers are struggling to sell personal seat licenses at SoFi Stadium. One high ranking team executive told JohnWallStreet that Dean Spanos’ organization is roughly $350 million short of their initial $400 million target. While it’s not uncommon for large scale construction projections to be slightly off, off by nearly 87.5% is an abnormally wide miss. An initial study conducted by Legends subsidiary CSL suggested that the market could support $1 billion worth of PSL sales (Rams: $600 million, Chargers: $400 million). When the Chargers stumbled with CSL’s suggested pricing, a second study was done and the team’s sales target was lowered to $150 million. But Spanos’ club isn’t even close to reaching that number. A source said that while the Rams are nearing $500 million in PSL sales, the Chargers have sold only $50 million worth. Rams owner Stan Kroenke is understandably upset about his tenant’s inability to move PSLs. Those revenues are supposed to go towards the new venues’ constructions costs (about $5 billion) and Kroenke is responsible for the difference. The Chargers’ second class citizen status in L.A. has also made it difficult for them to sell high-priced products.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced a four-year deal with FIFA to promote healthy lifestyles through football globally. According to SportsPro, the agreement includes multiple areas of collaboration, including: Advocacy to promote a healthy lifestyle through football; Policy alignment to ensure tobacco-free environments at FIFA events; encouraging national football federations to adopt tobacco-free policies, including at stadiums; and enabling WHO to provide technical advice to FIFA on health matters; Building on FIFA events to institute lasting improvements in health and safety; Joint programs and initiatives to increase participation in physical activity through football, in line with WHO guidance, as well as working with national associations and networks of WHO goodwill ambassadors, football players, coaches, and volunteers to increase physical activity through football. While we continue to take smoke-free sporting environments and related health initiatives for granted in the U.S., that’s not the case in much of the rest of the world. The new WHO-FIFA tie up can make inroads in these policies that benefit all sports fans.

A lawsuit is holding up redevelopment of the Oakland Coliseum site, and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred threatens relocation. According to JohnWallStreet, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf confirmed last Tuesday that MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred has threatened relocation of the Oakland Athletics if the city fails to drop a lawsuit filed to prevent Alameda County from selling its stake in the land on which the Oakland Coliseum sits to the team; the city wants the county’s 50% share, but lacks the funding necessary to make the purchase. A’s owner John Fisher intends on redeveloping the 155-acre site to help pay for a new $850 million “privately financed” waterfront ballpark and mixed use space. It should be noted that “many people believe the most logical solution is to build a new ballpark - much less expensively - on the Coliseum site.” Manfred has made it clear, however, that construction of the Howard Terminal ballpark and the Coliseum redevelopment project (which does not include construction of a new sports venue) are a package deal. Unless the lawsuit goes away, the city risks losing the A’s to Las Vegas, just as it lost the Raiders.

What’s the hottest New York City Marathon training meal? Pizza! Last week, TCS New York City Marathon footwear and apparel sponsor New Balance mapped out plans for its 2019 marketing campaign, unveiling an integrated campaign that not only includes runners, official footwear, apparel and accessories, out-of-home advertising, and digital/social engagements, but also a pop-up activation in the NB Pizza Co. The initiative was opened to the public on October 11 and will be open through marathon weekend, November 2-3. Runners from around the world can join the “Miles for Pizza” Challenge,” log miles and cash those in when they arrive in New York. Andy Downin, New Balance Head of Global Running Marketing, briefed Cynopsis Sports about the concept. “Our goal with the NB Pizza Co. pop-up location is to expand upon the Runway Pub that our London team executed this past spring as a part of their London Marathon marketing campaign,” Downin said. “The NB Pizza Co. pop-up gives us the chance to celebrate the sport of running with the world around the TCS New York City Marathon, the largest marathon in the world.” Just call it a big slice of marketing genius.

U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee relaxes Rule 40 guidelines. The guidance relates to Rule 40 of the Olympic Charter, which restricts the use of athletes’ names and images for advertising purposes. U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes will be able to thank personal sponsors, appear in advertisements for those sponsors and receive congratulatory messages from them during next year’s Tokyo Games under guidance released last Tuesday by the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. Official partners will maintain exclusive use of Team USA and Olympic Games logos and imagery, but athletes’ personal sponsors will be permitted to run generic ads. The same brands will no longer face a deadline to put a campaign into market prior to the Olympics and will have more freedom on social media. The loosening of marketing rules gives athletes more freedom to benefit from sponsors they deal with directly, rather than limiting advertising to official partner companies of the USOPC and IOC. Are you listening, NCAA?

AdWeek shows how the NFL connects television, advertising, and American culture. This month, AdWeek notes, network TV “returns once more with a shiny slate full of fall debuts. It’s an annual ritual of foreordained failure, with the vast majority of shows unlikely to survive to see a second season. Only one form of broadcast programming really matters anymore, economically for the media industry and existentially for American culture: sports, broadly—and the NFL, specifically.” Some of the metrics are obvious: 19 of the 20 highest-rated broadcasts in TV history have been Super Bowls. More than a billion people reportedly tuned in for the 2018 World Cup final. Other stats are more surprising: At peak, 93 of the top 100 rated shows in a single season were sports programs. Tellingly, through Week 5 of the 2019 season, over 142 million people tuned into an NFL game, with each game averaging 16.7 million viewers across TV and digital, a 6% increase over last year. Streaming is up 51%, and all 20 of the top 20 highest-rated TV programs this season are NFL games.

Snapchat enables in-game purchases for first time in new campaign with Adidas. Adidas has launched a new, interactive campaign on Snapchat which, for the first time, will enable users to purchase a product via a game in the app. Through the game, players will also be able to purchase the latest Adidas cleats, the first time such capacity has been expanded to a game, and a significant step in Snap's eCommerce efforts. This new campaign from Adidas is not part of its Games platform as such, but it underlines Snap's push towards gaming, as it seeks to maximize its appeal and keep its users in-app for longer. It will also help boost Snap's combined gaming and advertising ambitions, and ideally, its appeal to the gaming market. In itself, Snap Games offer new advertising potential, but the addition of a new game/product tie-in process, with in-app purchasing, could provide another way for brands to create engaging, immersive campaigns.

Finally, the Los Angeles Times answers a question that’s been bugging us for years – where do football teams store the giant American flags that can cover the entire field during the National Anthem? The Times’ Sam Farmer “did some asking around,” and here’s what he found out. Some teams, the L.A. Rams among them, rent their giant flags for special occasions. Others, such as the Minnesota Vikings, own their flag and assemble it about four times per season – it comes in six huge sections held together by hidden Velcro seams. The Vikings’ flag is stored in six separate carts similar to large laundry bins. The field-size flags weigh about 1,100 pounds and cost about $42,000 to buy and $6,000 to rent according to a company that manufactures them. And NFL Films, in a feature on the 300 foot flags, noted that each stripe is 11 feet wide, each star is 7 feet tall, and teams use about 150 volunteers to properly display the flag before games. So keep that in mind as the 2019 football season, and all those giant flags, continue to unfurl. 

Top Five Tech

Technology, in the form of social media, has caused chaos for the NBA in China. The NBA’s troubles in the world’s most populous country began when Houston Rockets team manager Daryl Morey took to Twitter in support of Hong Kong protesters. His tweet, which has since been deleted, included an image that read, "Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong." Days later, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said that he supported Morey "in terms of his ability to exercise his freedom of expression," including on social media, which sparked outrage in China. NBA China lists 11 wholly-owned Chinese companies as its official partners in the country on its website, all of which now say they have halted business with the league. There's a lot at stake for the NBA. The Chinese market makes up at least 10% of the league's current revenue, and could reach 20% by 2030. By sending out one tweet, the entirety of the NBA’s future is China is in jeopardy. It may behoove the league to begin focusing more intently on India moving forward, as we discussed last week.

Rugby World Cup gets 360 degree social media. According to SVG Europe, International Games Broadcast Services is a team of four that is creating a variety of content, including 360-degree videos, quick video clips, stats and facts, hero-worship content, and more for delivery via Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The 360-degree video is captured using GoPro 360-degree cameras, and there is no need for someone to manually stitch together video streams, making the process much easier and faster. Top clips this year include the New Zealand Haka in 360-degree and a Wales hero-worship piece. Additionally Japan, the Rugby World Cup host country, had a huge upset against Samoa which set its own record in TV viewership at this year’s Cup. By combining older media platforms such as TV with 360 degree video for online, the Rugby World Cup has been on the cutting edge of advancing sports broadcasting.

F1 and Complex media group team up for content series with rapper-host A$AP Ferg. The new series will be called “The Pit” and feature Formula One themed challenges. According to SportsPro, the online series aims to provide a greater insight into the global motorsport series and will feature current Formula One drivers, including Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, Daniel Ricciardo, and 2007 champion Kimi Räikkönen. The show originally premiered on October 4, followed by weekly episodes until the U.S. Grand Prix on November 1. This partnership will bring rap, F1, and pop culture fans to an intersection where they will be able to share their passions and be introduced to new sports and cultures to grow fan bases in all three categories.

The NFL expands its OverTier game pass deal to 181 countries around the world. According to Variety, the NFL has consolidated nearly all international-streaming operations for its Game Pass premium subscription service with OverTier. Since 2017, OverTier has held the rights to operate NFL Game Pass in Europe, covering 61 countries in the region. The new agreement expands that to more than 100 additional countries and territories, including Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, and South Korea. Those regions had previously been managed by DAZN’s parent company Perform Group and powered by Endeavor Streaming. To date only the U.S., Canada, and China are served online games from different sports media companies. Under OverTier’s new multi-year pact with the NFL, it will distribute all live NFL matchups on Game Pass across 11 platforms, including iOS, Android, Apple TV, PlayStation, Xbox, Amazon Fire TV, and Samsung and LG smart TVs. OverTier has driven up viewership and subscriptions for NFL Game Pass significantly in Europe over the past two seasons and now looks to expand the NFL’s influence to countries around the world. 

The PGA Tour will show every shot hit by every player LIVE on its Players Championship broadcast in 2020. According to Golf Digest, The PGA Tour announced this media milestone last Monday ahead of the 2020 Players, which is set for March 12-15. The new way of keeping golf more action packed will only be available if you subscribe to PGA Tour Live, the tour's digital streaming product, on either NBC Sports Gold or Amazon Prime. Viewers will be able to select which players they want to watch during the tournament's four days. The tour hopes this is the next step in bringing this type of coverage to all of its events. PGA Tour Entertainment and NBC Sports will show more than 32,000 shots over four days at TPC Sawgrass thanks to 120 cameras positioned around Pete Dye's Stadium Course. The tour also announced the launch of its revamped TourCast product, which will allow people to follow the action with shot trails of every ball hit. Golf is getting full techie and allowing for fans to have more consistent content, better analytics, and live feeds from the course to personalize what they see from the green.

Power of Sports Five

Merging Vets and Players (MVP) charity teams up with the Atlanta Falcons to reduce military and veteran suicides.  According to KOAM News, the MVP charity aims to bring together combat veterans and retired professional athletes to help them adjust to life outside their professions. The organization has set up chapters in four major U.S. cities, and the Atlanta branch is working closely with the Atlanta Falcons. MVP was founded by FOX's NFL insider, Jay Glazer, and Nate Boyer, U.S. Army Green Beret Veteran and former NFL athlete who played for the Seattle Seahawks in 2015. After recently running some physical activities as a group, MVP coaches run “The Huddle” – a 1:15 long support group where participants are coached to be proud of their scars. Some of MVP's ambassadors include former NFL players Michael Strahan, Olin Kreutz, and Chris Long, who have struggled with retirement. By crossing the interactions between NFL and combat veterans, both ex-players and veterans can help express their emotions and struggles in a positive way.

The Sacramento Kings will reward fans with CryptoTokens that contributes towards charity. According to CoinDesk, the Sacramento Kings are the first U.S. pro sports team to develop a crypto token for fan rewards. “Kings Token” will pair with a predictive gaming platform the team has developed in anticipation of the legalization of sports betting in California. Last year, the Kings became the first pro sports team to mine cryptocurrency, setting up a program called MiningForGood that donates the funds to charity and now they are even donating to loyal cryptocurrency to fans. Kings Tokens will exist within a token wallet added to the team’s Golden 1 Center app, which tracks the engagement and accumulated points. Fans can earn rewards through the predictive gaming platform and redeem those points for access to unique events, signed merchandise or courtside tickets. This initiative is getting fans involved with current tech advancements in crytocurrency while also helping the MiningForGood program which donates the funds to charity.

Rugby’s newest league is for those with learning disabilities. According to the BBC, Craig Thomason and his brother Oliver wanted to create a game for people with disabilities, like Oliver, who lives with Down syndrome. Craig works as disability development manager at the Warrington Wolves Foundation, where the idea of the learning disability rugby league originated. A 12-team program was fielded this year with about 160 players taking part, and there are already plans to expand the number of teams in an effort to reach more people in more cities. There are also hopes that players will become more involved in the clubs they represent by going on volunteer for them; each week, for example, Oliver helps deliver rugby league sessions at a youth club, and he is a learning disability coach in a local school. The non-contact league plans for even more accessibility sessions for those who may struggle to play rugby and also wants to add a program for dementia patients.

The NBA’s San Antonio Spurs Silver & Black Giveback program awards $180,000 to local nonprofits. According to News 4 San Antonio, the $180,000 in facility grants have been given to three local nonprofits whose programs serve the youth of San Antonio and support SBGB’s mission to empower youth through service and sports. Grant recipients include Rise Recovery, the San Antonio Zoo, and Good Samaritan Community Services. Rise Recovery aims to help teens, young adults, and families overcome the effects of drugs and alcohol while also partnering with the community in education and prevention and were granted $100,000 to provide furniture, fixtures, and equipment for the sport court and surrounding outdoor educational classroom at their new campus. Meanwhile, the San Antonio Zoo will use the $75,000 Operation Renovation facility grant to renovate the San Antonio Zoo Education Center, which hasn’t been renovated since it was first occupied in 1984. Lastly, Good Samaritan Community Services was awarded $8,222 to purchase two evaporative cooling units for outdoor basketball courts. The SBGB program will help to keep youth in San Antonio active, educated, and comforted.

New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis turns “Man of God” headband violation into an act of charity. When the NFL tried to go after Davis for his headband with its religious message, he won an appeal of the $7,017 fine handed to him by the league and stated the money will instead go toward the cause he has been promoting. According to the Washington Post, Davis picked up support from a New Orleans-area Catholic school, where children created their own versions of the “Man of God” headband that garnered the NFL’s scrutiny. All of the $7,017 from the fine will now be donated to St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi, where Davis grew up. Davis’s mother worked at the hospital while he starred in high school, before he went on to become a third-round pick by the New York Jets in 2012. Sales of headbands emblazoned with “Man of God” and “Woman of God” picked up after the NFL informed Davis he would be fined for wearing one during a September game and raised an additional $30,000 for the hospital.

For the third time in seven years, the NBA toppled the NFL for the No. 1 position, with the top ten positions overall revealing a remarkable balance of power among athletes from a range of sports. The Oklahoma City Thunder’s Russell Westbrook (No. 1), Matt Ryan (No. 2), and LeBron James (No. 3) top the Horrow Sports Ventures 2016-17 POWER 100 proprietary annual ranking of the world’s most powerful athletes. In its seventh consecutive installment, The POWER 100 uses a complex statistical model to accurately compare performance and influence through on-field and off-field attributes. This metric is collectively known as POWER, and enables equitable comparison across otherwise incomparable sports. The 2016-17 POWER 100 focuses on long-established sports and the U.S. market specifically. Key indicator statistics were used as predictors of performance per sport. On-field attributes comprise 50% of the athletes’ POWER. The other 50% is based on off-field components like social media presence as measured by MVPindex. Combining on-field (50%) and off-field (50%) attributes yields the POWER score. Athletes are then ranked based on POWER to find the Top 100. The POWER 100 continues to generate discussion as an invaluable tool to evaluate an athlete’s brand.

Phoenix Raceway is engaged in naming-rights talks as the ISC-owned track is in the midst of a $178 million renovation that is slated for completion late next year. Track President Bryan Sperber in a statement said, "From the moment we announced the project in January, we've had tremendous response from new and existing partners. This transformation of our venue into a world class entertainment facility has unlocked a myriad of opportunities, including unique branding platforms, new events, breakthrough technology, and even naming rights for the facility." If PIR sells the naming rights, the move would make the raceway just the second track that hosts a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race to have a brand attached to the facility’s name, with the other being fellow ISC venue Auto Club Speedway. One brand that has already closely associated itself Phoenix Raceway's renovations is California-based clean energy company DC Solar. PIR hosts two Cup races a year, as well as a Verizon IndyCar Series race, and under Sperber’s enlightened guidance, a naming rights deal is likely eminent

Months after the original opening date was set, the roof at the Atlanta Falcons’ new Mercedes-Benz Stadium continues to have issues. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the roof is now facing another delay, with speculation that it will be open “at some point” during the team’s 2017 season. When the stadium is opened officially, the roof will remain closed, and will remain that way for an “undetermined period of time beyond that,” as confirmed by AMB Group CEO Steve Cannon. When functional, the sunflower-shaped roof is supposed to open and close in 12 minutes with all eight swiveling panels moving in unison. Cannon said that it “typically takes 40 days to ‘mechanize’ such a roof after its last ‘[construction] move.’” Since three such moves are “scheduled in the coming weeks, the 40-day clock won’t even begin until after those moves.” Even with a rigid roof, the NFL and Atlanta welcome that city’s new football icon, and eagerly anticipate the upcoming season.

The majority stake of the Brooklyn Nets may be up for sale in the near future. According to the New York Post, current Owner Mikhail Prokhorov has been focused on selling a minority stake in the NBA franchise recently, trying to a find a buyer for 49% of the Nets for nearly a year. But Prokhorov has “warmed” to the possibility of offering up a controlling stake in the team. A source said that the “change of heart comes after the initial reaction to the minority stake sale was weak” – and with interest in the Rockets sale “heating up.” Sources said that the Nets “believe some of the suitors who look at the Rockets will also take an interest in them.” The Russian billionaire just recently was granted approval to split the corporate ownership of the Nets and their home arena, the Barclays Center, from the NBA Finance Committee. Clearly, the anticipated demand for the Rockets will resonate throughout the NBA, and potentially influence dozens if not hundreds of would-be investors.

The English Premier League is truly global, as exemplified by its list of jersey sponsors for this coming season. According to the London Daily Mail, only four of the 20 teams in the EPL will have British-based companies as their title sponsor for the 2017-2018 season. Those four clubs and their sponsors are Liverpool with Standard Charter, Southampton with Virgin Media, Stoke City with bet365, and Watford with FxPro. The sponsorship roster of the 20 teams in England’s top league also reveals the “continued significance of gambling firms in the game,” with nine clubs remaining tied to gambling and the industry. Clubs will also command additional sponsorship worth an “expected $26.1 million” by selling separate sponsored sleeve patches for 2017-2018 – “shirt space freed up by Barclays no longer being the Premier League sponsor.” Companies from countries such as Japan, Thailand, the UAE, Malta, Kenya, and the United States are kit sponsors, among others, and with good reason – the EPL remains a sound investment.

The Detroit Pistons are now the latest NBA team to sign a jersey patch sponsor for this coming season after inking a multiyear deal with a local bank. According to the Detroit News, Flagstar Bank will be represented on the left breast of the Pistons’ jerseys, opposite the newly-sported Nike logo placed on the right. The duration of the deal was not specified, but the deal also includes signage inside the brand new Little Caesars Arena as well as “spots on Pistons’ television and radio broadcasts.” Flagstar has been a corporate sponsor of the franchise over the past few years, and the Pistons wanted to sign a Michigan-based company as their jersey patch sponsor, which made it a relatively easy decision for Flagstar to win the bid. Flagstar President & CEO Allessandro DiNello said, “There's no bigger fan of the Pistons. I had season tickets when my kids were growing up, and it's great to have the team back downtown.” Local sponsorship wins the day on an emotional level, and if the price tag matches what a team could get from a global brand, all’s the better.

Ochsner Health System is expanding its footprint across professional sports in Louisiana with its new eight-year deal with both the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans. According to SportsBusiness Journal, the deal will include naming rights for the combined practice facility the two teams share in Metairie, Louisiana. The newly-named Ochsner Sports Performance Center “is the only training complex in pro sports that houses both NFL and NBA teams, plus administrative offices.” The healthcare system already has an existing deal in place with both teams, but this deal piggybacks on those. Financial terms have not yet been disclosed. About 10 years ago was the first time Ochsner starting sponsoring professional sports, and “around six months ago, the Saints and Pelicans approached Ochsner about extending its deal to include naming rights.” This deal is expected to help spread cancer awareness and overall fitness messaging among the greater New Orleans marketplace.

The Denver Broncos still do not have a new stadium naming rights partner despite an ongoing search that has lasted months. According to the Denver Post, team President and CEO Joe Ellis is “a little disappointed” that the team has not signed a new partner, but remains optimistic because some of these deals “take longer periods of time than others.” Since the team has not found anyone to replace Sports Authority, current signage will stay on the stadium until a new agreement is in place, meaning the Broncos will be playing their home games at Sports Authority Field at Mile High again. Ellis defended his point of not rebranding the stadium without a new naming rights partner yet: “We’re not going to do that. If we’re going to spend money to do those kinds of things, or take the time, we’re going to do it to make the game-day experience better for the fans.” A brand as strong as the Broncos, only one season removed from its last Super Bowl win, should demand only strong brands as partners, even if developing that relationship requires more time.

Coming off of a season where the average length of a football game was a record 3 hours and 24 minutes, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott is taking measures into his own hands to shorten game lengths. The Power 5 conference is set to launch a pilot program during select nonconference games that will “experiment with game-shortening measures.” Some of the biggest changes include fewer commercials and shortening halftime from 20 minutes to 15 minutes. Scott, speaking at the start of the conference's media days, said that research from ESPN and the Pac-12 Networks “found as much as 30% of viewers tuned out after the first half.” One way of keeping advertising time without losing as much fan engagement and interest is to split the screen between the live action and an advertisement, a tactic that is starting to be adopted more widely across all sports and networks. This tactic won high marks from golf fans during the Open Championship broadcast in the U.S. on NBC – expect other broadcasters to adapt it as well.

The English Premier League and other English soccer leagues have welcomed an influx of foreign investments from such countries as the United States, Russia, and China. But the leagues have yet to welcome any investments from the Korean Peninsula. According to the London Daily Mail, that trend may be changing soon with Seoul-based sports marketing firm Sportizen ramping up talks to acquire National League side Woking. Current majority shareholder Peter Jordan would have to agree to give up control of the fifth-tier club, which finished a dismal 18th in the National League this past season. Chankoo Shim is the leader of the group to buy Woking; his “business ethos” has earned him the nickname “the Jerry Maguire of Korea.” Shim wants to bring more young Korean soccer players to compete and play in Europe, and if the purchase of Woking goes through, this could provide a major pipeline for him.

In a special promotion to honor Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s final race at Phoenix International Raceway, the track will allow fans to sponsor a lap in November’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoff race. According to SportsBusiness Journal, two packages will be available for purchase soon, depending on how much one wants to pay and what kind of access a fan wants. The bronze package will be sold for $188, while the gold package will be priced at $3,288. Both packages “include getting a commemorative certificate plus name recognition in the race program and ISM Vision video screens around the lap to fan sponsors.” With both packages, fans have the chance to sponsor any lap from Lap No. 1 through 312. The gold package also includes “two pace car rides, two garage-access passes for the weekend “and two passes to Curve, which the track is touting as a new all-inclusive hospitality club with a capacity of 300 and a birds-eye view of the track above Turn One.” Top-tier fan amenities, plus the naming rights effort, are the kind of initiatives that will ensure PIR maintains its status as one of motor sports’ top venues, all under the watchful eye of track president Bryan Sperber.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is back going toe-to-toe with the Chicago Cubs. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Emanuel “flatly rejected” a request by Cubs President of Business Operations Crane Kenney to allow the team to play more night games at Wrigley Field. Emanuel defended his stance, saying the defending World Series champions had the choice of staging concerts for profit or playing more night games, and the team picked the former option. “They could have used it for night games. But then, they would have to share it with Major League Baseball,” said Manuel. “The concerts they keep all for themselves…They made those choices. Now, they want to change the consequences of the choices they made.” The Cubs are currently allowed 46 night events at Wrigley, which comes close to the 54 that Kenney requested the team be granted. Compromises are a fact of life in all public-private partnerships, and it appears this one remains a work in progress.

Baltimore Ravens Center and mathematician John Urschel has retired from professional football in wake of an alarming CTE study just released. According to ESPN.com, Urschel “abruptly announced his retirement” at the age of 26, despite previously saying that his passion for football outweighed the risk of CTE. Urschel is widely considered one of – if not the smartest – player in football, as he is pursuing his doctorate at MIT in the offseason, “focusing on spectral graph theory, numerical linear algebra and machine learning.” This new CTE report paints the clearest picture yet of the stark connection between football and brain damage. Researchers who published the report studied the brain of 202 dead football players, and among the 111 “former NFLers whose brains were donated for the study, all but one was found to have the disease.” Urschel is just one of many players who routinely retire before the season starts, but that number appears to be rising.

NASCAR driver Paul Menard and his family’s company are switching over to Wood Brothers Racing for next season. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Menard is in this seventh season of driving with Richard Childress Racing, but the switch will see Menard driving the Woods’ No. 21 Ford “with the Menards home-improvement chain serving as primary sponsor for 22 races in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. Another change in the NASCAR world comes with Team Penske announcing that it will enter a third car in next year’s Cup Series with Ryan Blaney as the driver. Blaney is widely recognized as one of the up-and-coming stars in NASCAR, so Team Penske is excited about this new entrant into the field. Sponsorships for the new car have yet to be announced, through NASCAR team owner Gene Haas recently noted that “it typically costs about $20 million annually to run a top-level car.” Kudos to Wood Brothers for this strong alliance in an ever-competitive world.

Coming off a hot debut, the BIG3 has seen a sharp drop in TV audience. According to SportsBusiness Journal, the upstart three-on-three basketball series drew in 400,000 viewers for the first event at the Barclays Center, but that number dropped all the way down to 129,000 for the third event at the BOK Center. “The four telecasts to date have averaged 228,000 viewers, with the most recent broadcast July 17 down 63% from the debut.” The telecasts on FS1 have been shown a week apart, though that has not been enough to keep viewership numbers consistently high. The second week’s event in Charlotte, North Carolina, saw around 235,000 viewers tune in, though that number dropped by over 100,000 a week later. “The average of 228,000 viewers is above what FS1 averaged for its Big East men’s conference tournament games this year (212,000 viewers).” Comparatively, viewer and attendance numbers for the NBA’s Las Vegas summer league have never been higher than they were this summer. Sometimes the new, new thing (up and coming NBA talent) beats the new, old thing (NBA legends).
