TELEVISION
STREAMING: The launch of Venu Sports will be delayed after a federal judge granted FuboTV’s motion for a preliminary injunction against the planned sports streaming venture by ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery.
U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett in the Southern District of New York said in her 69-page ruling that Fubo was likely to be successful in proving during a trial that the joint venture would violate antitrust laws, and Fubo and consumers would “face irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction.”
ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery said they would appeal the ruling.
FuboTV filed the lawsuit two weeks after ESPN, Fox, Warner Bros. Discovery and Hulu announced their plan to offer a sports streaming service on Feb. 6.

NFL: Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson has agreed to a three-year, $16.5 million contract extension, eliminating any chance of him hitting free agency in March.
McPherson, who earned the nickname “Money Mac” because of his penchant for making clutch kicks, will earn $10 million in new money in 2025, according to his agents at New York-based Sportstars Inc. That’s nearly 10 times his base salary of $1,055,000 for 2024.
A fifth-round draft pick from Florida in 2021, McPherson has made 78 of 93 field-goal attempts in three seasons. He’s hit 21 of those from beyond 50 yards and is 126 of 132 on extra points.

Over 200 large bags of non-perishable food were available as well as turkeys, milk, eggs, burgers, and bacon.
They also had some cold weather gear available to those who needed it including jackets, socks, and gloves.
Hermon elementary school students also made some heartwarming cards for the veterans who would be picking up food at the event.
Maine Veterans Project vice president Anthony Murano said their goal was just to help as many veterans as they could.
“As you can see we do have a lot of moving parts going on out here. Today is our Thanksgiving distribution event, and the goal of today is to feed as many veteran’s families as we possibly can for the Thanksgiving season. We do have a small food pantry that we do keep stocked throughout the year, so if we have any vets that are looking for a little food assistance, we can help in that aspect,” said Murano.
