Fox Sports will air a ‘Madden NFL 20’ tournament on March 29th
[ad_1] The event will also encourage donations to the CDC Foundation’s efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. As with the NASCAR event, this is prompted in part by desperation. The absence of conventional sports has left Fox without much of its live programming. While the situation isn’t as dire as it is for stock car […]

YouTube TV to drop Fox regional sports channels following Sinclair dispute
[ad_1] Like with many carriage disputes, though, there’s plenty of he-said-she-said squabbling where both sides portray the other as the villain.

‘Free Guy’ trailer shows a video game NPC without chains
[ad_1] The storyline on display is predictable, but that’s clearly part of the point. Really, the focus here is on nods to the absurd game logic that wouldn’t hold up in real life.
