MLB’s in-game ads make it clear who MLB cares about… and it’s not the fans

During Game 6 of the ALCS, the TBS broadcast cut away from a pivotal Rays‑Guardians moment to air a Zoom in‑game ad featuring a Kate McKinnon impersonation.

Cowboys at Packers: Joey Porter Jr. makes his presence felt in tough loss

In Week 6, the Dallas Cowboys fall 23-13 to the Green Bay Packers, dashing any optimism after a Week 5 loss to Tampa Bay. While both sides struggled, the Cowboys' offense looked especially out of sync against a dominant Packers defense.
