The Denver Broncos looked like they would get themselves to 1-1 on the season when they took a 21-3 first half lead at home against Sam Howell and the Washington Commanders. Instead, they found themselves down 11 in the fourth quarter after a complete meltdown saw Washington rattle off a 32-3 run as the Broncos just fell apart on both sides of the ball.

However, Russell Wilson and the Broncos offense came back to life at the very end of the game, cutting the deficit to 8 and then finding a miracle in the form of a 50-yard Hail Mary in the final seconds that got tipped a few times before falling into the hands of rookie receiver Brandon Johnson to cut the lead to two.

It was a wild play that had Tom Jackson screaming “KNOCK IT DOWN!” ringing through the ears of anyone old enough to have watched NFL Primetime. The good news for the Commanders secondary that botched their Hail Mary defense was they had a second chance to preserve a win on the two-point try. Wilson tried to find Courtland Sutton coming across the end zone to his right, but the pass got broken up by Benjamin St-Juste, who jumped over Sutton’s back to make the play — to the chagrin of Broncos fans who thought it should’ve been pass interference.

It was certainly close to being early contact, but by making a play on the ball he probably saved himself from the flag. It’s a brutal loss for the Broncos, who never should’ve needed late game heroics in the first place. However, to get the hard part of the equation done with the 50-yard bomb and then not score from a few yards out on the two-point conversion only sprinkles a little extra salt in the wound of an 0-2 start to the season.

The Los Angeles Rams played host to the San Francisco 49ers in the annual “road” game for the Niners that is really another home game with the amount of red jerseys in SoFi Stadium. Both teams were coming off of wins, with the Rams beating the Seahawks on the road while the Niners authored one of the most dominant performances of Week 1 with their win in Pittsburgh.

As such, San Francisco was a 7.5-point favorite in Los Angeles, and while the Rams stayed close in what was a 17-17 game at the half, the second half was almost all Niners. San Francisco opened up a 10-point lead late in the fourth quarter and they seemed like they would cruise to not only a win but a cover for Niners bettors, but the Rams and Sean McVay had other ideas. After moving the ball into San Francisco territory, the Rams spiked the ball with four seconds on the clock and trotted out the field goal unit for a walkoff field goal to lose by 7 — but cover the number.

It’s a truly sick way to lose if you had a 49ers ticket and there were plenty of people calling for the investigation into why they’d kick there, but the answer is McVay was simply going for the Madden field goal — where when down 10 you kick as soon as you get into range to give yourself time for the touchdown after an onside kick. The problem was, with four seconds there’s not even close to enough time to execute that plan and the result is just a swift kick in the teeth for those that laid the points — but Rams fans who backed their squad got a little consolation prize in the loss.

Justin Timberlake has been quite the busy little bee. In the past year alone, Timberlake has had topic epic reunions. One was with fellow musicians Timbaland and Nelly Furtado on the track “Keep Going Up.” The other was with his former boy band NYSYNC, both onstage at the 2023 VMAs and in the booth via their forthcoming Trolls Band Together soundtrack song. He even teamed up with R&B newbie Coco Jones for her track “ICU Remix.”

Indeed, all his music efforts point to something greater, right? So, does Justin Timberlake have a new solo album coming out soon? Well, according to a report from Billboard, the simple answer is yes. In a report theorizing what an NYSYNC reunion tour could amount the publisher revealed that Timberlake road plans aren’t exactly in alignment with fans’ growing demands.

Billboard has alleged that Timberlake plans to hit the road next year; however, it will be a solo tour. The article went on to say that several dates have been placed on hold at arenas across North America. Sources told the outlet that Timberlake will drop a brand new album in addition to the tour.

Justin Timberlake nor his team has confirmed the news. Fans will need to stay tuned to see if the rumors become a reality.

Since arriving in D.C. in 2021, Marjorie Taylor Greene has been no normal congressperson. She has a history of stalking and harassing her now-colleagues. She spent her first two years booted from committees over her chaotic behavior and kooky beliefs. She’s heckled President Joe Biden. After the GOP took control of the House, she’s tried to calm down, or as much as someone can who’s still trying to get Biden impeached over nonsense. Heck, she, of all people, is even calling for civility.

On Sunday, Axios reported that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has quietly deep-sixed the Senate’s dress code, meaning that folks like John Fetterman, who favors hoodies and gym shorts, don’t have to show up in fancy wear.

“Senators are able to choose what they wear on the Senate floor,” Schumer told the publication. “I will continue to wear a suit.”

Everything makes Greene mad, even this.

“The Senate no longer enforcing a dress code for Senators to appease Fetterman is disgraceful,” Greene steamed on the joint formerly known as Twitter, as caught by Raw Story. “Dress code is one of society’s standards that set etiquette and respect for our institutions. Stop lowering the bar!”

There are many ways in which Greene sticking up for “etiquette and respect” is rich. For one thing, it wasn’t that long ago that the MAGA lawmaker called fellow MAGA lawmaker Lauren Boebert a “little b*tch” on the House floor. Then again, at least Greene hasn’t been caught getting handsy with her date while watching a musical filled with kids.

Over the last several months, several notable Hollywood couples have stunned fans by announcing they’ve split. First, it was Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner. Then, it was Jeezy and Jeannie Mai. They were followed by Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness. Now, Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert are shattering relationship goal collages everywhere.

On Sunday, September 17, in a post shared on her official Instagram page, Teyana annoucced the pair’s separation. They officially got married back in 2016 and since then have welcomed two daughters, Iman “Junie” Tayla Shumpert Jr. and Rue Rose Shumpert. Although Teyena did not confirm whether the separation would graduate into a full-fledged divorce, she was adamant they are still good friends.

Read Teyana’s full statement below.

AHT AHT! Not too much on my bestie! In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while. To be 1000% clear, ‘infidelity’ ain’t one of the reasons for our departure. We are still the best of friends, great business partners, and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children. Most importantly, we are FAMILY & in the 10 years together, 7 years married, we ain’t ever played with or about THAT. We just keep y’all asses out of the group chat, lol, which is the reason we’ve been able to successfully & peacefully separate without all of the outside noise. The only reason I’m even sharing THIS part of the chat is because the narratives are getting a little out of hand & it’s unfair to all parties involved. I hope this provided some clarity for y’all. Okay, AunTey, taking y’all back out of the chat. Bye! 

“F*kumean” rapper Gunna’s return to rap hasn’t been smooth sailing. Still, he’s at least managed to land on several top music charts with the release of his latest album, A Gift And A Curse. However, hundreds of hip-hop fans refuse to throw their support behind Gunna due to rumors that he snitched on his Young Stoner Life label head, Young Thug (real name Jeffery Lamar Williams). Given that Young Thug is still behind bars as he fights the YSL RICO case brought up against him, he hasn’t released many public statements.

On the other hand, Young Thug’s dad, Jeffrey Lamar Williams Sr., more affectionally known as Big Jeff, has remained vocal in the press. In an interview with YouTuber Infamous Sylvia, Big Jeff spoke in support of Gunna, shutting down rumors that the rapper is a snitch.

When asked about his thoughts on Gunna, he answered, “I love Gunna.” Shortly after viewers flooded the video’s chat forum to ask for clarity on the claims that Gunna had snitched on his son, he replied, “Let me try to help the attorney clarify that a little simpler. Gunna hasn’t done anything whatsoever that can hurt us on this case, period.”

Further into the interview, Williams Sr. said that he feels Gunna was railroaded and encouraged him to jump back into releasing music to help bring in money for the YSL label. Gunna was charged as a co-defendant in the YSL RICO case, but when offered a plea deal in December, he told it and was released shortly after.

“Lady Gaga” singer Peso Pluma has quickly become one of the most streamed Latin acts in the world. Due to his surge in popularity, he has graced stages worldwide, including the 2023 VMAs. However, Peso’s plans to tour Mexico, his home country, aren’t going as previously planned.

Days ago, Peso postponed multiple shows, leaving fans to wonder why. According to reports from USA Today, this could be tied to recent threats Peso allegedly received from the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. A banner hung from a bridge in Tijuana, Mexico, bore a message that (after being translated to English) read: “This goes to Peso Pluma, refrain from presenting yourself on October 14 because it will be your last show due to your disrespect and loose tongue, you show up, and we are going to (break you).”

To ensure the safety of ticketholders who planned on attending the show, to have been held at the Caliente Stadium, organizers have decided to push the event back. A new date has not yet been announced for the performance.

People online believe that the stern warning was issued to Peso because of his multiple references to the speculated Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, who allegedly didn’t take kindly to Peso’s lyrics on tracks such as “Siempre Pendientes.”

Christopher Nolan movies usually Hoover up tons of money — unless they’re released at the height of a once-in-a-century public health crisis — but Oppenheimer still sounded (and honestly still sounds) like a tough sell. It’s three hours long. It’s a grim film about a grim subject. It’s mostly men in rooms talking to (or yelling at) each other. And yet, thanks in part to that whole “Barbenheimer” jawn, it’s now achieved yet another major box office milestone.

Per The Wrap, this weekend Oppenheimer added another $12 million to its already mighty global cume. That puts it at a $912,701,115 total — which is about $2 million more than Bohemian Rhapsody, which made a massive $ 910,809,311 back in 2018. That means it’s usurped from it a big title: highest grossing biopic ever.

(Sorry to be nit-picky, but that total is not adjusted for inflation. Even over a mere five years, Bohemian Rhapsody’s total with inflation factored in increases to $1.1 billion. But Oppenheimer is still in theaters, so who knows? Maybe it will add another 100,00 million or so to its haul.)

Of Oppenheimer’s $912 million, a massive $318.6 million of that is from the good ol’ United States. It’s worth noting that Bohemian Rhapsody “only” made $216 million domestically five years back, and not even adjusted for inflation is that near Oppenheimer’s total. The American public would clearly rather see an epic about the father of the atomic bomb has beat the movie about the lead singer of a band later immortalized by an SNL movie.

Throughout the entirety of their nearly six years of marriage, “Jealousy” rappers Cardi B and Offset’s relationship has been heavily scrutinized by the public. Although the couple has been vocal about their rocky past, thanks in part to Offset’s past infidelity, they managed to bounce back even stronger. But according to Twitch users, he’s up to his old ways.

On Thursday, September 14, a mystery woman appeared in the background of Offset’s Twitch livestream, leading viewers to believe that he was stepping out on his wife. However, Cardi took to X (formerly Twitter) to quickly shut down the rumors.

When a fan page of Cardi’s called out a user for spreading false information, she joined in to add, “Exactly…The fact that they had to watch a 24-hour stream to fake piece things together is EMBARRASSING!!! They some do bads lmaaoooooo.”

The mystery woman was then identified as Shaleeta “SheShe” Pendleton. In the past, Offset has threatened to take legal action against people making unproven claims alleging infidelity.

The 24-hour livestream was hosted by creator Kai Cenat, where Offset and Cenat’s friend spent the day gaming, dancing, and more.

Travis Kelce missed Week 1 for the Chiefs as he dealt with a knee injury and had to watch as the Kansas City offense sputtered without him in a loss at home to the Detroit Lions.

The good news for the defending champs is that their star tight end made his return to the lineup in Jacksonville — along with star defensive tackle Chris Jones — and the two All-Pros made their presence felt as the Chiefs tried to bounce back against a Jags team they beat in the Divisional round of last year’s playoffs. In the third quarter of a low-scoring affair, the Chiefs offense finally got rolling a bit and Kelce got involved as he so often does in the red zone, with Patrick Mahomes finding him on an ad-libbed play for a touchdown that put KC up 14-6.

Mahomes and Kelce working out of structure for a touchdown isn’t anything out of the norm, but the biggest highlight of this play is Ian Eagle’s sensational call, as the play-by-play man dropped a cheeky Taylor Swift reference, noting that Kelce found a “blank space” in the Jaguars defense. Kelce is currently rumored to be dating the pop star, although no one has been able to confirm that and his brother, Jason, would only laugh off a question about it after the Eagles’ win on Thursday Night Football.

Eagle’s one of the best in the business for a reason, and this is some of his best work to give a little wink to the rumors — he also added a “shake it off” before they went to the commercial break.
