Wayback Wednesday 🏀
 
In 2003, Gatorade pushed the boundaries of sports marketing technology with its iconic “23 vs. 39” commercial — a spot that used early artificial intelligence and face-scanning techniques to digitally recreate a young Michael Jordan competing against his older self.
 
The younger version of MJ was actually played by then–NBA rising star Jamal Crawford, whose face was digitally mapped using cutting-edge tech rarely seen in advertising at the time.
 
A groundbreaking moment where sports, technology, and storytelling came together. People are still buzzing about it 22 years later.

The Big Ten’s private equity plan sparked conversation about a potential Big Ten exit for Michigan.

Univ. of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker said that if the Big Ten agrees to receive a private capital investment without unanimous approval of all 18 members, the school “would consider going independent when the current media rights deal expires in 2036,” according to a report from the Detroit Free Press.

The proposed investment would extend the league’s grant of rights to 2046 — something Acker calls "a pretty big thing to do when you don’t know what college football will look like in 4-5 years."

Michigan opposes the deal, citing autonomy concerns and its strong financial position. 

"That would be the end of Michigan, as far as I can see, in the Big Ten," Acker told NBC Sports.

The U.S. women’s hockey team has declined President Donald Trump’s invitation to attend his State of the Union address after winning gold at the Milan Cortina Games, according to reports. 

A day before inviting the women, Trump had “jokingly told the U.S. men’s hockey team that he would be impeached if he didn’t also invite the women’s team," per NBC News.

A USA Hockey spokesperson told NBC that while the team is “sincerely grateful” for the invitation, players were unable to attend due to pre‑existing academic and professional commitments following the Olympics.

The best Super Bowl commercial, EVER?
 
To launch its centennial season, the NFL aired “The 100-Year Game” during Super Bowl LIII — a two-minute, league-produced spot directed by Peter Berg and featuring more than 40 current and former stars.
 
Set at a formal gala that erupts into a chaotic fumble-driven tackle game, the ad doubled as both entertainment and brand strategy, turning 100 years of league history into prime-time marketing.
 
It became the first NFL-produced commercial to finish No. 1 on USA Today’s Super Bowl Ad Meter — proof that the league can sell its own product as effectively as any brand.
