It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. Considering how well Deion Sanders has coached Jackson State, he certainly could succeed at a small-ish program in a Power 5 conference. Look for rumors to continue to heat up with the college football season coming close to an end.

Netflix has officially set January 19th as the premier date for “That ‘90s Show”. The series is a sequel to the long-running sitcom “That ‘70s Show.”

It will include some of the original cast members in guest appearance roles.

“Saturday Night Live” has revealed their final hosts for 2022. “Only Murders In The Building” stars and long-time collaborators Steve Martin and Martin Short will host on December 10th, with multi-genre musician Brandi Carlile serving as musical guest. Actress Keke Palmer (“Nope”) and SZA will open the month of December, while “Elvis” star Austin Butler and Yeah Yeah Yeahs will close out the year on December 17th.
Martin has hosted SNL 15 times, just two shy of Alec Baldwin’s record of 17. He has also guest-starred on the show an additional 19 times. Short was a cast member for one season in the 80s, while Carlile and Yeah Yeah Yeahs have each appeared twice.

There’s a story circulating that hints Tom Brady could go back to New England.

The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, among the NFL insiders with the deepest ties to the Patriots, published a story today about a quarterback carousel potentially starting next offseason.
