The Chicago Bears looked like they were about to improve to 5-2 on the season after Caleb Williams led the offense to a go-ahead touchdown (and two-point conversion) that put them up 15-12 on the Commanders with less than 30 seconds to go in the game. Washington only had one timeout and hadn’t scored a touchdown all game, as a banged up Jayden Daniels couldn’t lead the Commanders into the end zone through the first 59 minutes of action.

After moving the ball up to their 48 with two seconds to play, all Washington could do was heave one to the end zone and hope for a miracle. They got that after the Bears botched their Hail Mary coverage and left Noah Brown completely alone in the end zone, with all of their defensive backs running to the ball as it fell from the sky at around the 3. Among those was Tyrique Stevenson, who was the player who ended up tipping the ball up and backwards (which is the opposite of what you want to do on a Hail Mary as a defender), and it appeared he was supposed to be the one that had eyes on Brown.

The problem there was, Stevenson was a bit more focused on jawing with the Commanders crowd, taunting fans in the corner of the end zone after the ball had already been snapped, before sprinting over and deflecting the ball up, leaving Brown wide open to catch the deflection.

The Bears defense played unbelievable well all game, but unfortunately a lapse in the last two seconds erased all of that work in the first 59 minutes. I have to imagine the film room tomorrow won’t be a fun place for Stevenson, who learned a painful lesson about staying focused on the task at hand, even when the other team needs a miracle.

After a hot start to the season for both the Bears and Commanders, CBS flexed the matchup between the top two picks in the NFL Draft into their national window at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday. The hope was to see a shootout between Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels, but instead the first 50-plus minutes of action saw a defensive struggle as neither offense could really get rolling.

The Commanders were having more success, but couldn’t finish off drives and had a tenuous hold on a 12-7 lead late. The Bears, meanwhile, had only scored on a long run by DeAndre Swift and saw a goal line drive to take the lead end in a turnover when they tried to hand it off to a lineman, only for him to fumble the handoff. It was a sloppy game that finished with a flourish, though, as Williams led the Bears to a go-ahead touchdown with under a minute to play, leaving Daniels one timeout and less than 30 seconds to figure out how to force overtime or come up with a miracle for the win.

Daniels opted for that second option, as he moved Washington to their 48 with two seconds to play and, after buying a ton of time for his guys to all get to the end zone, unleashed a prayer that got answered when it got tipped backwards into the waiting arms of Noah Brown for the winning score.

It’s about as bad a job as you can do if you’re the Bears in this situation, as they don’t rush enough to put any real pressure on Daniels, allowing him to create space to load up and launch the ball. Then, in the end zone, they fail to stay with their assignment and all clump together to go for the football, leaving Brown unguarded once the ball tips up into the air. Somewhere, Tom Jackson is shaking his head yelling “KNOCK IT DOWN”, but the Commanders are thrilled no one in the Bears secondary grew up watching NFL Primetime.

Dwyane Wade is almost universally viewed as the greatest player in Miami Heat history. While there have been plenty of big names to come through the Heat organization like LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal, Wade’s mix of longevity, excellence, and commitment in Miami are unmatched. And on Sunday afternoon, the franchise decided to honor him with the ultimate sign of respect for a legend by giving him a statue outside of Kaseya Center.

There’s just one problem: The statue doesn’t look all that much like Wade. It looks like they were going for Wade celebrating something one of the many big moments that he was responsible for during his time with the Heat, but instead, it looks like … well, you can get a glimpse right here.

It’s unclear if Wade liked this, as he flat out said “who is that guy” during his speech after it was unveiled, and it’s unclear if he was expressing humility or legitimately had no clue what was going on. Almost right away, Twitter started to crack jokes about who this actually looked like, with people saying it looked like Kelsey Grammar, Laurence Fishburne, and more.

Obviously, it would be very difficult to retry to make an entire statue — the Lakers ran into a problem with one of Kobe Bryant’s statues, but it involved tweaking some small details and not making his face look different. Having said that, if anyone in Heat history would deserve a second shot at this, it’s Wade.

Tom Hardy has made a lucrative career off of his voice (among other things). But his accent in his coveted role as Eddie Brock in the Venom series takes the cake for some fans (not so much in The Bikeriders).

So, now that Venom: The Last Dance is in theaters, the beloved twang has returned. During a sit down with MTV, Tom Hardy spoke about the inspiration behind the voice he uses for Venom.

“One of the big inclusions that Kelly [Marcel] and I put into the melting pot of our, sort of, creative process is throwbacks to when we were kids,” he said. “What do we enjoy? Rap music…it was hugely influential for me as an artist, the spoken word, and what you can create with just a voice & some words. Also, some of the tonal qualities of certain MCs are larger than life.”

Hardy then went on to name some of those recording artists. “If you look at Method Man, Redman, Busta Rhymes, [and] Biggie Smalls,” he said. “There’s something about them that’s larger, bigger, and epic in the soundscape that they have. So that underpinned immediately when being playful and using a soundscape.”

He closed by saying: “It was logical that Venom had to fall into the canon of Busta Rhymes, Method Man, Redman, James Brown, you know?”

Venom: The Last Dance is in theaters now. Find more information here.

Lizzo claims to have been “canceled for everything,’ this year. But losing public favor hasn’t stopped the “Special” singer from going all out for Halloween (as usual).

Yesterday (October 27), Lizzo decided to clapped back at critics of her recent weight loss and the writers of South Park. In her vibrant photoshoot to celebrate the ghoulish holiday, Lizzo is seen dressed in an Ozempic costume.

“Ok Halloween… you can start now ,” she wrote on Instagram.

To dial things up a notch, Lizzo and her photographer Bonnie Nichoalds decided to generate a mock advertisement for the drug which read: “Need self-love? Try Lizzo! Lose guilt. Gain confidence. Side effects include a smile on your face and a pep in your step.”

Behind Lizzo is a cutout of the show’s menacing character, Eric Cartman, a draw back to her being referenced back in May.

Last month, Lizzo denied user claims that she was using the drug, saying: “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.”

In another post shared to Lizzo’s Instagram page, she continued to troll South Park by twerking on a fight dressed in an inflatable Eric Cartman costume.

Well, that’s one way to turn the tables.

If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again. Unfortunately, the late Aaliyah’s mantra does not apply to Saturday Night Live because of its live studio audience. But that hasn’t stop one beloved SNL comedian from fantasizing about a do-over.

During a recent episode of his Fly On The Wall podcast with co-host David Spade, Dana Carvey expressed how he would have reworked a SNL sketch that bombed.

“So I do the little Biden piece as part of the Bret Baier interrogating Maya-Kamala,” he said. “And he’s kind of confused. He starts talking about the ‘Joker’ movie, but they don’t know it. I went, who’s the lady gagaga? You know, whatever. I did that. Didn’t land.”

Despite starring fellow beloved SNL stars including Maya Rudolph (who played Vice President Kamala Harris) alongside Carvey’s portrayal of President Joe Biden viewers felt that humor was lost in translation.

Well, after taking notes following viewers’ response (or lack thereof) Carvey shared the changes he would’ve made, saying: “I thought later, I should have said, ‘And who’s Whackin Phoenix? Who the hell is he? Whackin Phoenix would have got a big laugh.’”

Well, the world will never know. Or maybe Carvey will find a way to insert that into a future appearance.

Tyler The Creator has been called many things throughout his career. But, a new accusation thrown onto the “St. Chroma” rapper’s jacket has fans hip-hop fans furious.

A line in Tyler The Creator’s latest Chromakopia single, “Thought I Was Dead,” didn’t sit well with famed producer Mike Dean. “White boys mockin’ this sh*t and y’all mad at me? Y’all can suck my d*ck / Pull up old tweets, pull up old t-shirts, all that, I moonwalk over that b*tch,” raps Tyler in the track’s opening verse.

Shortly after learning about the line, in an Instagram comment (viewable here) Mike Dean accused Tyler’s bars of being racist. “Racist sh*t,” he wrote.

Tyler hasn’t responded to Mike Dean’s call-out. However, users online have turned to script on Mike Dean. “Mike Dean is much of a troll as Tyler don’t take this serious,” penned one user.

Others stood in full support of Tyler’s bar, alleging that it was a necessary did at Lil Yachty’s artist Ian.

“Racist for stating FACTS? This gaslighting ass sh*t outta here,” chimed another.

“Tyler’s comments were thought-provoking and deserve thoughtful discussion. As an artist, he often uses provocative language to challenge perspectives,” added another.

This isn’t the first time Tyler has supposedly addressed Ian’s entry into the culture. Back in August, during an appearance on SpringHill’s Mavericks With Mav Carter podcast seemingly called out those propping Ian up, saying: “[There’s] this white kid, regular Caucasian man, and he’s like mocking Future and Gucci Mane… like rap music. People are like, ‘this sh*t hard.’ It’s not even like satire… I hold rap music so close to my heart. This sh*t changed my life and everyone’s life around me.”

Chromakopia is out on 10/28 via Columbia. Find more information here.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are off to a tremendous start to the 2024-25 season, as they improved to 3-0 on Saturday night with a 131-127 win over the Sacramento Kings. James and Anthony Davis have led the way, with Davis looking the part of an early MVP candidate, and the Lakers supporting cast is doing its job around them…for the most part.

I say for the most part because on Saturday night, Rui Hachimura had LeBron fuming in the fourth quarter after Rui chose to look off the Hall of Famer and take a pull-up jumper while James was red-hot. On the bench in a timeout a few seconds later, a hot mic caught James letting Hachimura know what the protocol is when he’s got the hot hand, and, spoiler alert, it is not for Hachimura or anyone else to take a contested jumper — even from 4 feet.

“Swing that motherf**ker to me,” LeBron says. “I just made 10 in a row and you gonna take a pull-up, contested two? Swing, swing motherf**ker.”

Look, the man is right. He’d just scored 15 of the Lakers last 17 points (and assisted on the other two) to lead a charge from L.A. to go from seven down to open the fourth to 11 up when this timeout happened. Sometimes you gotta just keep feeding the hot hand, especially when the hot hand is also one of the best players in NBA history. I think next time James has it rolling and Hachimura has the ball he will indeed “swing that motherf**ker.”

Back in August, Adele announced her intention to take “a long break” in other words an indefinite hiatus. But before the “Chasing Pavements” singer can disappear from the spotlight, she has a few contractual obligation to handle, including making up a few rescheduled Weekends With Adele residency dates.

Yesterday (October 26), during Adele’s latest show she was greeted with a sweet surprise. As Adele made her way through The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace crowd was shocked by one face in the audience—Celine Dion. In a video captured by a concertgoer (viewable here), Adele burst into tears after coming face-to-face with Celine Dion, which Celine matched wiping tears from her eyes.

Although Adele has adorable been dubbed a cry baby by fan, due to her emotional responses to tender moments, this encounter carried significant weight. Back in January 2022, Celine Dion revealed that she had been diagnosed with Stiff-Person Syndrome.

In the years following, Celine stepped away from performing and public life to seek treatment for the rare condition. As one of the vocalist Adele has expressed a great level of admiration for, seeing Celine Dion in good spirits in the audience, in a venue she once dominated (and rumored to return to) must have struck a nerve.

Either way, onlooker eyes also welled up at the heartfelt embrace.

It seems like Sabrina Carpenter’s time as one of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour openers was so long ago. With both pop stars now making their way around the world on their own separate shows (for Sabrina that’s the Short ‘N Sweet Tour), fans wondered when their paths would cross again.

Well, yesterday (October 26) Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter finally reunited (viewable here) during the second night of The Eras Tour‘s run in New Orleans, Louisiana. On the Caesars Superdome stage, the pair cranked out a melody performance of Carpenter’s breakout hits “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.” But that wasn’t all, Taylor and Sabrina also performed “Is It Over Now?,” a 1989 (Taylor’s Version) goodie.

Prior to Sabrina appearing to the sold out crowd, Swift first performed a cover of “Espresso” on her own before praising her friend’s monumental success over the year. “I love my friend,” she said. “And I am so proud of Sabrina and of the year that she’s had. She was opening up on ‘The Eras Tour’ earlier this year and since then her year has absolutely taken off. Her tour…you can’t get tickets to it. The album is No. 1 constantly.”

Usually, Taylor’s surprise songs each night are one of her b-side favorite. But last night she wanted to use the performance slot to show her friend some much deserved admiration.
