ESPN is doubling down on sports betting integration, appointing Erin Dolan as its first full-time in-game betting analyst for United Football League (UFL) coverage. The move, a first for a major sports network, will see Dolan deliver live betting insights during ESPN and ABC’s UFL broadcasts, which kick off this Sunday.

Dolan regularly appears on ESPN BET Live and Sunday NFL Countdown, analyzing betting lines, prop bets, and market trends. She will provide pre-game, in-game, and halftime analysis from ESPN’s Bristol studio. Her role is similar to that of a rules analyst but focused on odds, trends, and top betting moments.

This bold step signals ESPN’s growing commitment to integrating sports wagering into its broadcasts. While networks have experimented with betting commentary, Dolan’s role represents a full-scale, game-long approach. “Because this hasn’t really been done before throughout an entire broadcast, there’s probably going to be a little bit of growing pains the first couple of weeks, but then we’ll get it down,” Dolan told Front Office Sports.

The challenge is balancing the hardcore bettors with casual fans who may be less familiar with gambling. Dolan recognizes this, emphasizing the need to make betting discussions digestible. “Sometimes, I think numbers aren’t very digestible when you just hear numbers being spewed at you. So, breaking it down more from a learning perspective would be more of the goal for me,” she explained.

ESPN’s deeper investment in betting content aligns with the network’s partnership with Penn Entertainment, which operates ESPN Bet. With Penn considering an opt-out clause in its $2 billion deal, increasing market engagement is critical.

ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2 will air nearly half of the UFL’s 40-game season, with Fox and FS1 carrying the rest. As ESPN continues to push sports betting into mainstream broadcasts, Erin Dolan’s new role may set a precedent for other leagues and networks looking to capitalize on the booming sports wagering industry.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.
