Does anyone know if Candle will be there? I read that he is a big Red Sox fan. He would probably enjoy seeing it up close.

I would assume he will be there in person. No inside intel, just an assumption.

ESPN went all in on sports betting and it has gone belly up.

When I was there about 8 years ago (ugh, time flies) there were discussions about if they should do betting or not, like get into it. There were a lot of people who thought it was next big thing. And hence, we get ESPN Bet, which was a spectacular failure.

DraftKings and FanDuel run it online. For all ESPN did, its promos and cross collaborations and pushing...they couldn't dent market share at all.

I thought ESPN only licensed its brand to the service and cross-promoted them in the app?! but it wasn't owned by them (Barstool)...

That's correct. It was owned by PENN Entertainment... it's now called the theScore Bet.
