At a time when marketers are demanding clarity across fragmented media investments, Total Sports Performance delivers the industry’s first deduplicated, single view of audience exposure and business outcomes across both sponsorship and advertising in live sports environments using big data. The solution takes the real-time detection data from Relo’s computer vision AI models and resolves them to households, leveraging VideoAmp’s industry-leading VALID™ identity graph and commingled TV viewership data for a precise view of audiences and outcomes.

“The disconnect between advertising, content, and sponsorship measurement has long limited the sports ecosystem’s ability to prove true ROI,” said Jay Prasad, CEO of Relo Metrics. “With Total Sports Performance, we’re changing that. This solution offers currency-grade measurement and insights and shows rights holders, media companies, and especially brands their real audience reach—whether during live play, the pre-game show, and commercial breaks across—so they can finally understand the full value of their investments across all screens.”

The Total Sports Performance Advantage:

“Total Sports Performance represents a major leap forward in media measurement,” said Josh Hudgins, Chief Product Officer of VideoAmp. “It’s no longer enough to measure ads and sponsorships separately. Brands need a complete picture of their total audience—and the power to connect exposure to outcomes. That’s what this collaboration delivers.”

Built for Every Player in the Sports Marketing Ecosystem

Helping brands, agencies, media, and rights holders turn sponsorship into real business impact.

“In today’s evolving media landscape, advertisers need more than siloed metrics—they need clarity across the full spectrum of exposure,” said Brian Lin, SVP of Product Management and Advanced Advertising at TelevisaUnivision. “By bringing together sponsorship and ad data into one unified measurement framework, Total Sports Performance creates a more equitable and performance-driven marketplace for all stakeholders. This is a critical step forward, especially in live sports, where attention and demand continue to grow."

Following early proof-of-concept work with top global brands, the product will soon be made available through both Relo Metrics and VideoAmp platforms. Discussions around Total Sports Performance are being booked throughout the week in Cannes.

“Total Sports Performance isn’t just a new metric,” said Prasad. “It’s a new playbook for how the market will define success in sports marketing.”

LONDON (AP) — Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota was knocked out of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in the first quarter with a knee injury.

Coach Dan Quinn told NFL Network at halftime at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium that Mariota wouldn't return and that “we’re gutted for him.”

Washington was already without starter Jayden Daniels, who had been ruled out Friday because of an elbow injury, so third-stringer Athan Kaliakmanis was called into action.

With the Commanders ahead 3-0, Mariota was sacked at the Indy 11 by Adetomiwa Adebawore and Laiatu Latu on third down. Mariota walked gingerly to the sideline, and Drew Stevens kicked a field goal for a 6-0 lead.

That drive started with a Mariota keeper around the left end that went for 35 yards.

Kaliakmanis completed six of 12 passes for 33 yards by halftime. Indy led 10-6 at the break.

Quinn said the team has “a lot of confidence" in Kaliakmanis.

The Commanders selected Kaliakmanis out of Rutgers in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL draft.

The team's website notes that Kaliakmanis is a proud Greek-American: “Kaliakmanis’ family is Greek, and he wears his heritage with pride. He has a tattoo sleeve on his left arm with the word οικογένεια, which means family, and another icon representing Saint Athanasius of Alexandria, whom (he) is named after.”

Among Kaliakmanis' nicknames: “The Greek Rifle."
