If you’re a New York Yankees fan living in Seattle, you’ve learned that you can watch your favorite team on Major League Baseball’s Extra Inning cable package or MLB .TV’s streaming package – except when they’re playing in your city. That’s because a blackout occurs and only allows that fan to watch on a service that provides that broadcast – if they can find it. Local blackout restrictions mean many fans would have to head to the ballpark if they want to see a particular game and it’s not being locally broadcast. To remedy that, MLG has hired Billy Chambers, a longtime regional sports network executive, to figure out how to work around the local blackout issues, according to Sports Business Journal. Current blackout restrictions aim to protect local TV partners, driving fans to watch the local broadcast.

EXCLUSIVE : The hot project du jour is Let Her Speak , a Mario Correa script that just got Sandra Bullock attached, subject to landing a director she likes. Bullock will play Democratic Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis , who on June 25, 2013, hit the national spotlight when, against extraordinary odds, she singlehandedly staged a 13-hour filibuster. Her stamina not only thwarted GOP leaders’ plans to enact one of the country’s most restrictive anti-choice laws, but resulted in the most far-reaching Supreme Court victory for reproductive rights in a generation. Let Her Speak covers that historic day and how a onetime teen mom who became a Harvard-trained lawyer showed the courage to change her own life, along with the lives of American women. The film is being produced by Todd Black , Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch for Escape Artists, Jonathan Shukat for ShowKat Productions, and Bullock. They will quickly secure a director and lock in the distributor. … [Read more...] about Sandra Bullock Attached To Play Filibustering Texas Pol Wendy Davis In ‘Let Her Speak’

Getty Brett Maher can't catch a break ... even the governor of Texas jumped in to pile on the Dallas Cowboys kicker after he missed yet another PAT on Sunday night. Greg Abbott 's trolling came just minutes after Maher had his second quarter point after attempt blocked in Dallas' playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. I swear, I can kick as good as the Dallas Cowboys kicker. — Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) January 23, 2023 @GregAbbott_TX "I swear," Abbott tweeted. "I can kick as good as the Dallas Cowboys kicker."
