Sports influencer Kay Adams critiques own Heisman pose as NFL camps begin and Cracker Barrel announces sale-leaseback deal
Kay Adams said her Heisman-style pose at Fanatics Fest was poorly received, while Cracker Barrel reported a $77 million sale-leaseback transaction and NFL training camps opened for the Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals.
Football broadcaster and social-media personality Kay Adams posted on Instagram that her Heisman-style pose at the recent Fanatics Fest event did not meet her expectations. The influencer, who turned 40 in April, said the pose was “the worst Heisman pose of all time,” acknowledging the criticism she received from followers.
Separately, Cracker Barrel announced a sale-leaseback agreement with an institutional real-estate investor covering 26 of its company-owned locations. The transaction generated approximately $77 million in net proceeds, which the company said will be used to reduce debt. Following the announcement, the restaurant chain’s shares rose about 9 percent in after-hours trading.
