some can’t-miss faults that the network has displayed over the past three years of the five year deal. BBL05 was the first time Network Ten displayed all games live to everyone in Australia, first time. BBL05 was also the year they switched to an infomercial about a chair, instead of Jake Lehmann’s last ball heroics at Adelaide Oval. Apart from the mishaps Network Ten have conceded over the past few years, it is no question they struck gold when they claimed the rights to the BBL for $20 million per year. It is also no question that the BBL also struck gold when they made the change from PayTV to Free-To-Air. By reaching one million plus Australians every summer night, Network Ten has helped grow and advertise the BBL (along with their TV series such as ‘I’m A Celebrity’, mind you) and Cricket Australia should focus on what the Free-To-Air market has done for the sport, and continue to broadcast on Free-To-Air television.. With record attendances, membership highs and millions tuned in across nine countries (Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Pakistan, South Africa, India, Sri Lanka, United Kingdom and even the United States), the BBL has proven itself to be a powerhouse sporting league, instead of the colourful, pyrotechnic joke it once was, and Network Ten deserves a large amount of credit for the league’s blossoming.…

Tilting can be defined as angry or frustrated to the degree that it's badly affecting your performance, and you're probably blaming it on everyone but yourself (Kollar 2016). Tilting can be as severe as a losing streak for an NFL team, an NHL team, or an NBA team. Esports pro teams have hired psychologists to help with players getting tilted in between games. One of the most iconic moments for a psychologist in esports was getting a team with semi-finals tilt to win their first championship…

the exclusion of the BCS, or the Bowl Championship Series, college football established a playoff championship series to decide a national champion. This new and interesting championship method started in 2014, with top four teams in the nation, Alabama, Oregon, Florida State, and Ohio State, squaring off in the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl to determine who would challenge each other in the National Championship in Arlington, Texas. Sugar Bowl champion Ohio State made history by defeating Rose Bowl…
understanding of how the Super Bowl has evolved. Though it has always been a big game -- the first edition placed enormous stress on a man named Vince Lombardi (and probably contributed to his early death in 1970 at age 57) -- the cultural significance of the Super Bowl needed time to emerge in American life. Accordingly, the weight of the Super Bowl wasn't larger than life at the beginning. The game had to become a cultural event. The empty seats for the first edition at the Los Angeles…
reasons why football is the best sport. Why is the National Football League is the most best sport. Why do I think American football is the best sport. The competition is more balance out. Each team has a great chance to win their championship. Unlike the NBA, larger market teams win the championship. Small market teams has no chance to win. In the NFL or College Football, one game at a time is the theme. In any football playoffs, any team can be eliminated at any time. Cause it is a game…
BCS Bowl Playoff. When the season kicked off way back in early September, four Big 12 schools actually had high hopes of receiving one of those four esteemed bids. Oklahoma, Baylor, West Virginia and Oklahoma State University all started the season like that little ant; they had “high hopes”! But as we near the end of the season, the college football Bowl Championship Series Selection Committee is simply not showing any love for the top rated teams from the conference. Baylor saw their season…
