Meet Katie Feeney, 22-year-old TikTok star who joined ESPN's NFL team to boost social media presence
ESPN has decided to take a fresh approach towards its content strategy by bringing in popular content creator Katie Feeney. The 22-year-old influencer enjoys a massive 14 million followers through her reporting on sporting events. Meet Katie Feeney, 22-year-old TikTok star who joined ESPN's NFL team to boost social media presence (katiefeeneyy/Instagram) 'As part of its commitment to driving growth and innovation across digital and social platforms, ESPN has signed Katie Feeney—a sports and lifestyle content creator with more than 14 million social media followers— to create content across ESPN's social and digital channels,' ESPN wrote in its official press release. 'The recent college graduate will contribute daily to ESPN's social and digital efforts, including leading a refreshed approach to SportsCenter on Snapchat, which reaches over 9 million subscribers. In addition, Feeney will deliver vertical short-form video content designed for an enhanced ESPN App experience launching in early fall. Overall, her work will complement ESPN's existing roster of creators who specialize in real-time, social-native storytelling,' the press release added. It further said, 'In addition to her role with ESPN Social, Feeney will make appearances on several of ESPN's premier NFL and college football studio shows, including Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Countdown, and College GameDay. Feeney will bring her signature first-person, lifestyle-driven approach – a blend of on-site access, fashion, and culture – to fans." Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter posted about the same on his social media page by writing, 'ESPN has signed Katie Feeney—a sports and lifestyle content creator with more than 14 million social media followers— to create content across ESPN's social and digital channels.' Feeney then posted a reel on her social media page addressing Schefter's post. 'You know it's official when @adamschefter breaks the news,' she wrote. Who is Katie Feeney? Originally hailing from the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC, Feeney is one of the people who utilized her time during the pandemic to make sports commentary. Her success reached such a point that by the time she entered her senior year in high school, she had already earned over a million dollars on Snapchat's Spotlight program. After gaining a major in broadcast journalism from Penn State, she went on to become the first social media correspondent for an NFL team (Washington Commanders). Her experience includes covering events like the Oscars and the Super Bowl. 'From capturing Penn State games on the sidelines to now joining the biggest platform in sports, this journey has been incredible,' said Feeney, as revealed by the press release. 'I grew up watching SportsCenter with my family, and I'm proud to now be part of the storytelling that brings ESPN to millions of fans around the world.' – With inputs from Stuti Gupta

Khalil Shakir injury update: Here's when Buffalo Bills WR could return; coach addresses concerns
The Buffalo Bills have temporarily lost a wide receiver to injury- a development that is sure to affect their depth chart. Following Friday's practice at the Bills' training camp, Khalil Shakir, top of the wide receiver order, suffered an injury that has now put him out for a few weeks. Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (10) catches a pass during practice(AP) Khalil Shakir's injury and return Following the Bills' Blue and Red practice last Friday, Shakir could be seen walking off the field with trainers, as reported by the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. The wide receiver had his right leg looked at on the bench before trainers accompanied him up the tunnel. Shakir did not return to practice after this. Since Saturday was an off day, Coach Sean McDermott told reporters on Sunday that the player would be out on a 'week-to-week basis' due to a high-ankle sprain. Although no concrete timeline for his expected return was provided by the team, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports evaluates 4-5 weeks of Shakir remaining missing in action. How will this impact the Buffalo Bills? Shakir was Buffalo's top receiver during the 2024 NFL season, leading the team in targets (100), catches (76), and receiving yards (821). He tied for second on the team with four touchdown receptions, built a strong rapport with Josh Allen, and is expected to be a key weapon for the reigning NFL MVP. Since he plays primarily in the slot (498 of his 735 snaps (67.8%) last season came at the position), either free-agent signee Elijah Moore or Curtis Samuel could fill his place. Samuel played in the slot on 43.1% of his snaps with the Bills last season while Moore did so on 54.6% of his snaps with the Cleveland Browns, as reported by USA Today. The team currently has 14 receivers on its roster, five of whom carried on to their 53-man roster last season. Shakir tops the list, followed by Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, Moore, and Samuel. Kelly Akharaiyi, Deon Cain, Stephen Gosnell, KJ Hamler, Kaden Prather, Tyrell Shavers, Laviska Shenault Jr., Jalen Virgil, and Kristian Wilkerson are the other receivers waiting for a spot on the list. The Bills' season opener against the Baltimore Ravens is scheduled to happen on Sunday, September 7. Posted by Stuti Gupta

NFL and ESPN reach nonbinding agreement for sale of NFL Network and other media assets
Ever since the NFL announced it was looking to sell NFL Network and other media assets, ESPN had been seen as one of the favorites to make a deal. Nearly five years later, a framework is finally in place. The NFL announced Tuesday night that it has entered into a nonbinding agreement with ESPN. Under the terms, ESPN will acquire NFL Network, NFL Fantasy and the rights to distribute the RedZone channel to cable and satellite operators and the league will get a 10% equity stake in ESPN. The league and ESPN still have to negotiate a final agreement and get approval from NFL owners. The agreement will also have to undergo regulatory approvals. 'Sometimes great things take a long time to get to the point where it's right. And we both feel that it is at this stage,' NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a call with The Associated Press. Along with the sale of NFL Network, the NFL and ESPN will have a second nonbinding agreement where the NFL will license to ESPN certain NFL content and other intellectual property that can be used by NFL Network and other assets that have been purchased. 'We have been talking about it in earnest for the last few years. But interestingly enough, we started talking about this over a decade ago but nothing really ended up happening. And we got back at it when I came back to Disney after my retirement,' Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a call with the AP. ESPN is expected to launch its direct-to consumer service before the end of September. The service would give cord-cutters access to all ESPN programs and networks for $29.99 per month. The addition of more NFL programming increases the value. Many viewers will receive the service for free as part of their subscription to cable, satellite and most streaming services. 'When I came back to Disney and assessed essentially the future of ESPN, it became clear that ESPN had to launch a bigger and more robust and digital or direct-to-consumer product, not only for the sake of ESPN's business, but for the sports fan,' Iger said. "And obviously, when you start thinking about high-quality sports content, your eyes immediately head in the direction of the NFL because there's really nothing more valuable and more popular than that. NFL Network — which has nearly 50 million subscribers — would be owned and operated by ESPN and would be included in ESPN's direct-to-consumer product. The NFL RedZone channel would be distributed by ESPN to cable and satellite operators. However, the NFL will continue to own, operate and produce the channel as well as retain the rights to distribute the channel digitally. ESPN would also get rights to the RedZone brand, meaning RedZone channels for college football and basketball or other sports could be coming in the future. NFL Fantasy Football would merge with ESPN Fantasy Football, giving ESPN the official fantasy football game of the league. NFL Network will still air seven games per season. Four of ESPN's games, including some that are in overlapping windows on Monday nights, would move to NFL Network. ESPN will license three additional games that will be carried on NFL Network. The league gets a 10% equity stake in ESPN. Aidan O'Connor, a senior vice president at the Prosek Partners marketing firm, estimates the value of that would be $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion. ESPN is currently 80% owned by ABC Inc. as an indirect subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. The other 20% is owned by Hearst. There isn't any word yet on whether the 10% stake for the NFL would all come from ABC's stake or whether it would be 5% each from ABC and Hearst. This isn't the first time the league has had an equity stake in a digital or communications business. It had that in the past with Sirius Satellite Radio and SportsLine. The NFL could also have equity in the newly formed 'Paramount Skydance Corporation,' which owns CBS, due to the league's partnership with Skydance. 'This is new as far as a partner now operating a business that we built, ran and grew," said Hans Schroeder, the NFL's executive vice president of media distribution. "It'll also be a little bit new again with some of the dynamics here, but we'll continue to balance that in a really arm's length way where we'll think about how we manage and work across to all our partners.' The league will continue to own and operate NFL Films, NFL , the official websites of the 32 teams, the NFL Podcast Network and the NFL FAST Channel (a free ad-supported streaming channel). 'The moves align with the NFL's longstanding ambition to reach $25 billion in annual revenue by 2027 — a target first set in 2010, when league revenue stood at approximately $8.5 billion,' O'Connor said. 'Financially, the move also signals to investors that ESPN is doubling down on differentiation and content stickiness by offering a scarce and premium product in a crowded marketplace. Intentionally ceding equity to the NFL transforms ESPN from a media licensee into a true platform partner — with few properties rivaling the league in terms of cultural significance, appointment viewing, audience reach, and monetization efficiency." Viewers will likely not see any immediate impacts until next year once everything is approved. Besides ESPN, the biggest winner in this could be NFL Network, which had seen reductions in original programming the past couple years. 'Total Access,' the network's flagship show since its launch in 2003, ended in May 2024 amid a series of layoffs and cost-cutting moves. 'Good Morning Football' also moved from New York, where it had been since its start in 2016, to Southern California last year. NFL Network moved to a broadcast facility across the street from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in 2021. 'The thing that's exciting for us is that we have put a lot into the network. I think it's been very effective for fans. We know it's in good hands,' Goodell said. 'They're innovative, they recognize great production and know how to produce it. They will do a fantastic job of operating the network and taking it to another level.'
