Bud Light reveals NFL team cans for the 2025 season
The company announced on Thursday, Aug. 7, the return of its limited-edition NFL team cans that will highlight 27 sponsored teams across the league. There are 32 teams in the NFL, meaning five teams will not be represented on the cans.
These five teams are:
Bud Light says this season's cans feature a "sleek new look" and prominently showcase team logos, official team colors, and jersey-inspired retro stripes wrapping the top and bottom of each can. Each can also includes a QR code giving fans access to content and exclusive experiences like VIP tailgates, game tickets, and one-of-a-kind merch drops.
Bud Light debuts commercial starring Peyton Manning
In addition to the NFL team cans, Bud Light has also partnered with legendary quarterback Peyton Manning on a new commercial, titled "Parachute," that highlights how far fans will go – or free-fall – for a Bud Light.
The spot depicts Manning skydiving into a football stadium as part of the NFL airman brigade. Manning changes course towards what he thinks is an ice-cold Bud Light, but instead crashes into a realistic stadium billboard, according to a news release from Bud Light.

House Judiciary Committee Queries Major Sports Leagues On Whether They Still Should Get Antitrust Exemption For Broadcast TV Blackouts
The House Judiciary Committee is requesting a briefing from the heads of the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League on whether they should still get an antitrust exemption for coordinating TV broadcast rights, including a rule that allows for game blackouts. The Sports Broadcasting Act gives leagues immunity for broadcasting deals for games on network television, including provisions that permit blackouts of home games in that team's broadcast area. Such blackout requirements were meant to ensure that ticket sales remained robust in a market.

Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI), who chairs an antitrust subcommittee, wrote that despite the rise of subscription services and online streaming, 'it is sometimes more difficult and more expensive for some fans to watch their teams during the season. In some major sports leagues, a fan may need to sign up for multiple streaming platforms and purchase an over-the-air antenna to watch every game at home. Even then, because every major sports league has its own blackout restrictions, there are certain games that fans cannot watch at home regardless of how much they are willing to pay or how many streaming services they purchase.' The Sports Broadcasting Act antitrust exemption applies to 'sponsored telecasting,' Jordan and Fitzgerald noted, noting that courts have ruled that it does not apply to cable, satellite, pay-per-view and streaming. 'The majority of sports viewership now occurs outside of traditional network broadcasting,' they wrote. 'As a result, most of the distribution agreements that a sports league enters into are subject to antitrust challenges, while a narrow subset are not, creating legal uncertainty, distorting the market, and 'effectively expanding the blind spot for potential antitrust violations.''

Dolphins to sign RB Aaron Shampklin
The Dolphins are adding running back Aaron Shampklin to their roster. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the team will sign Shampklin after working him out on Monday.

De'Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and sixth-round pick Ollie Gordon are their other backs. Shampklin ran six times for 17 yards in three games for the Steelers last season. He also worked out for the Bears and Jets recently, but his bid for more regular season action will unfold in Miami.
