The Cavaliers will host an NBA championship parade on Wednesday, but it is "unclear if Quicken Loans Arena will be the site for any of Wednesday's events because of preparations that are ongoing in advance of next month's Republican National Convention." The team is scheduled to arrive back in Cleveland at 11:30am ET today. More than 20,000 fans last night "gathered inside and outside Quicken Loans Arena to watch the game on the Jumbotron" (ESPN.com, 6/20). The team and city "will release more details on the celebration once it's all worked out" (CLEVELAND.com, 6/20).

A "huge crowd of fans lined up outside Dick's Sporting Goods" at Cleveland's South Park Mall after Game 7 to be "among the first to purchase official championship gear." By 11:00pm, the "line outside Dick's swelled all the way to the back of the parking lot" (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 6/20).

Revelers in Cleveland last night "hopped atop a fire truck, a police car's hood and windshield was damaged and there were reports of broken glass at businesses near Quicken Loans Arena." But "two hours after the game, it would be hard to describe the mischief with that dreaded four-letter word: riot" (USATODAY.com, 6/20).

A "neon 'Champions' sign has been added" to the Cavaliers/LeBron James banner on the Sherwin Williams building in downtown Cleveland (CLEVELAND.com, 6/20).

Visa debuted its flagship Olympic commercial last night during Game 7 of the NBA Finals, an opportunity that took the longtime Games sponsor a bit by surprise when the Cavs won games 5 and 6. The ad strikes a more lighthearted and product-oriented tone than Visa’s commercials in the '12 London Games, depicting Visa’s role in routine, daily transactions as several Olympians embark on fictional trips to Rio. Actor Morgan Freeman returns to voice a new line emphasizing mobile and digital payments: "The only way to click, swipe, dip, and tap at the Rio 2016 Olympic games." Edwin Starr’s "25 Miles" is the soundtrack. 

Along with creative agency BBDO, Visa created 14 alterations of the spot designed for 38 markets around the world. Swimmer Missy Franklin and decathlete Ashton Eaton feature prominently in the U.S. version. Visa had long planned to launch the campaign in late June, but had Game 7 specifically in mind from the start. "Even though I’m a Warriors fan I was rooting for Game 7," said Visa Chief Brand & Innovation Marketing Officer Chris Curtin, the morning after Game 6. He added the chance to air it then "was pretty cool, because we think it’s a super big stage with a lot of energy."

It is "one of the busiest weeks on the NHL calendar," and Las Vegas is "expected to be announced as the NHL's 31st franchise." The BOG meets Wednesday morning at Encore in Las Vegas and is "expected to approve expansion" for the '17-18 season. The league has scheduled a 1:00pm PT press conference at Encore. The NHL's annual award show will be held Wednesday night at the Hard Rock Hotel, also in Las Vegas. The Stanley Cup will be "on display" at noon today in the Hard Rock lobby and will "have limited viewing times" today and tomorrow (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 6/20).

The EPL has come to a new agreement with IMG where the two parties will continue to operate Premier League Productions (PLP) for the next three seasons – '16-17 to '18-19. PLP produces and distributes all of the EPL's international programming. Under the new agreement, a number of new programs will be broadcast via the Premier League content service, including "Goal Rush" and a fantasy program which will provide in-depth analysis of the league's Fantasy Premier League game (IMG).

A crowd of 10,490 attended Saturday's UFC Fight Night at TD Place Arena in Ottawa, and while many among them rated the event "a grand success," it was "not without some punishing moments for spectators, as events both in and out of the ring ignited resounding flurries of complaint." Chief among those was the "stifling heat in the arena" (OTTAWACITIZEN.com, 6/19).

NBC this fall will premiere a "new theme song for its prime-time 'Sunday Night Football' program." Carrie Underwood, who sang the show's previous theme song, will sing the new song, titled "Oh, Sunday Night." It will debut "during the first game telecast on Sept. 11." It is based on Underwood's '14 "hit country duet 'Somethin' Bad' with Miranda Lambert, but with new lyrics and additional changes to fit the program." The previous song, based on Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You," had been in use since '06 (AP, 6/20).

The inaugural Web.com Tour Nashville Golf Open, which concluded yesterday, "saw an estimated 10,600 fans in attendance over four days." Tournament Dir Patrick Nichols and organizers treated the '16 event "as a trial run" for the remainder of its contract, which runs through '20. Nichols said that the date of next year’s tournament will be "discussed over the next two weeks with club ownership and the Web.com Tour." This year's event was "played on the same four days as the U.S. Open" (Nashville TENNESSEAN, 6/20).

From fan experience to new technology and content distribution, the '16 Brand Engagement Summit delved into how brands, teams and leagues are reaching today's consumers. See some of the highlights from this year's event:

A fan was "was pushed over a second deck railing during a fight with another fan" at Oracle Arena after last night's Cavaliers-Warriors Game 7. The fan, a man in his early 20s, was "in critical but stable condition at Highland Hospital in Oakland" (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 6/20).

The AVP set a Northeast attendance record with just over 25,000 attending its four-day event on the west side of Manhattan this past weekend (THE DAILY).

Herbalife and Portugal MF Cristiano Ronaldo officially launched the new sports drink, CR7 Drive, at the nutrition company's annual Asia Pacific Extravaganza 2016, held in Seoul from June 17-19 (Herbalife).

"I don’t really foresee us doing Saturday Night Live or reality TV shows. None of that. Some people want to do that. I think our main thing is that we want to give people something of value" – U.S. decathlete Ashton Eaton, on how he and his wife, Canadian heptathlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton, plan to handle the spotlight associated with the Rio Games (VANCOUVER SUN, 6/19).

“A classic Under Armour/Nike matchup. Nike has LeBron for life, Steph Curry has Under Armour locked up. We’ll see if there’s any stock reaction” – CNBC’s Sara Eisen, on the Cavaliers' win over the Warriors in the NBA Finals (“Worldwide Exchange,” CNBC, 6/20).

"The Incomparable Serena Williams" – Wall Street Journal Magazine headline for its profile of the tennis player (WALL STREET JOURNAL MAGAZINE, July/August '16 issue).

PHILLY.com this weekend featured several stories on 76ers President of Basketball Operations Bryan Colangelo: "Colangelo Ready To Put His Blueprint Into Action For Sixers," "Humble Beginnings For Both Jerry, Bryan Colangelo."

The DESERET NEWS goes with the header, "Former Utah Jazz CEO Greg Miller Is Back In The Briar Patch." Miller: "The car business is my briar patch."

Also:

• Scuttled IndyCar event in Boston could lead to litigation.
• The NBA's minor-league system is due for an overhaul.
• Why are we still fascinated with the O.J. Simpson case?
• How golf forces players to confront their own mortality.
• Children of late Will McDonough follow journalist's legacy.
• Broadcaster Jim Hawthorne's voice synonymous with LSU sports.
• How Auston Matthews has emerged as hockey's top prospect.
• ESPN's Tom Archer ready to lead College World Series production.
• Briana Scurry embraces role as women's brain health advocate.

I assume that the man who said his team was "light years" ahead of the rest of the league will want some major changes.
