Lane Kiffin's son faces Arch Manning-style scrutiny after eye-opening high school blowout
We're getting down to the nitty-gritty portion of the high school football season. This time next month, the playoffs will be in full swing across the U-S-of-A.
That means we're in the stretch run. Some teams are making one final postseason push. Others are resting up for November (and hopefully December). We have districts up for grabs, at-large bids at stake, and seeding implications everywhere.
Which brings us to Louisiana, where none of that really happened in Friday's game between University Lab and Collegiate.
ALABAMA HIGH SCHOOL QB LEAVES FANS IN AWE WITH RECORD-BREAKING TOUCHDOWN PASS
For those who don't know, Knox Kiffin — the son of LSU head coach Lane Kiffin — plays QB for University Lab. The junior has offers from several schools already, including Syracuse, Missouri and Georgia Tech. He's still young, but getting better, as you're about to see.
I've taken it upon myself here at OutKick to highlight at least one high school football play/ player/ story each and every Saturday during the season. These guys are all about to be millionaires with the silly NIL rules, so we might as well get ahead of the curve and start identifying them early.
So far this season, we've seen (arguably) the country's top running back do incredible things in Tennessee on multiple different occasions, a wild Hail Mary in Florida, an entire California team get suspended because the mascot shot the bird to some fans, and a giant running back in Kentucky.
Today, we're gonna check in with Knox Kiffin and the Cubs, who are both going viral today for absolutely destroying a team, 62-0, Friday night:
Lord have mercy, what a mismatch. I've covered a lot of high school football over the years, and I don't know that I've seen so much talent disparity on the same field.
Well, that's probably not true. I've definitely seen games like this one where it's pretty evident from the opening kick that we're about to get a running clock. But still...
Look at that pass rush Knox is having to face! That's stunning. I'm not knocking the throw, which was dropped in the bucket, but what's the deal there? Why aren't those guys even attempting to rush the quarterback? I don't get it.
And how about the hit at the goal line on the second touchdown pass? That receiver sends that poor defender into next week at the pylon. Brutal.
This will naturally raise questions about Knox Kiffin in the same way it does about Arch Manning. Every time Arch has a bad game, old videos from the competition he faced in high school go viral because he wasn't exactly facing the '85 Bears.
Right on cue, look at the first comment under the above post:
"This dude is the next arch manning, lmao. What’s this competition he’s playing against?"
Like clockwork.
It's probably a fair point to raise given how bad it looks. I get it.
But, also ... Knox has looked pretty darn good at times this season. He's also got a pretty decent teacher in his ear, despite what some may think of Lane Kiffin.
I think he'll be OK.
Why eating oysters raw may mean missing out on their best flavor, celebrity chef says
When it comes to oysters, Andrew Zimmern believes location is everything.
The celebrity chef and television personality, who will host the Oyster Bash at the New York City Wine & Food Festival on Saturday, said the secret to a great oyster lies in its flavor, texture and, perhaps most importantly, where it originates.
"Oysters really taste of place," Zimmern told Fox News Digital.
IS FARM-RAISED FISH REALLY WORSE THAN WILD-CAUGHT SEAFOOD? EXPERTS SOUND OFF
Much like wine grapes, oysters develop distinctive characteristics based on their environment. Water conditions, food sources and even the composition of the seafloor can influence their flavor and appearance.
Zimmern has experienced these differences firsthand, tasting oysters harvested just a few hundred yards apart that delivered dramatically different flavors.
"One's very sweet, one's very saline. And it really depends on what you like," he said.
LOBSTER ROLL WAR ERUPTS IN NEW ENGLAND OVER CONTROVERSIAL INGREDIENT IN 'DIE-HARD' DIVIDE
As for his own preferences, Zimmern gravitates toward oysters with a particular combination of flavors.
"I like oysters that are coppery, taste like a cross between pennies and celery and have enough salinity to sort of carry the oyster," he said.
He's particularly fond of West Coast oysters, although he noted that East Coast growers are increasingly producing oysters with similar flavor profiles by carefully selecting growing locations based on the food available in the water.

But while oyster aficionados might debate which region produces the best shellfish, Zimmern is decidedly less particular about how they're prepared.
Raw, grilled, fried or baked, he's game for all of them.
"If the oyster is flavorful enough, you can do anything with it," he said.

Zimmern recalled visiting an oyster restaurant outside Houston where the raw oysters were unremarkable, but the grilled preparations — including versions with spinach, cheese, garlic, butter and hot sauce — were extraordinary.

He also has a soft spot for fried oysters and regularly makes oyster chowder during the colder months.
"I love cooked oysters," he said. "I love oyster chowder. I make oyster chowder almost every other week in the wintertime."

‘Little House on the Prairie’ star says brutal filming conditions left cast members unconscious
The cast of "Little House on the Prairie" is opening up about the brutal reality of filming the hit TV series.
Cast members were guests on Patrick Labyorteaux's podcast to discuss their experiences on the show. He asked Alison Arngrim, who starred as Nellie Oleson, what the first day was like for her.
"Complete chaos and confusion," Arngrim admitted.
‘LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE’ STAR SAYS CHILD ACTORS GET ‘DROPPED’ AFTER HOLLYWOOD FAME FADES
She explained that she hadn't known she was supposed to show up with her character's signature ringlet curls, "So it was lots of panic and phone calls back and forth, and then massive curling of my hair. So yeah, bananas. And then, first day on location, of course, I pass out."
"So, I was off to just a rousing start right there," she added.
The conversation also included fellow cast members Dean Butler, Pamela Roylance and Jennifer Donati, as well as Tracy and Victor French, the children of late cast member Victor French.
Labyorteaux also starred in "Little House on the Prairie" as Andy Garvey.
During a later conversation about how hot it was in Simi Valley, where the show was filmed, Arngrim joked that the cast and crew were able to tell when summer hit because the "first day of summer is when Alison hits the ground, because I was out like that. It was that hot."

Speaking again of her first day on set, she explained that she was "so disciplined," she approached the director and said, "Excuse me, I think I'm going to faint" before she "completely lost consciousness and dropped."
"It's like basically how to not pass out was the challenge," she continued. "It was insane, though – the great thing is that other people began to pass out, so people realized it wasn't me, the first one being Sean Penn."
Penn, who was a child at the time, "didn't wake up and come back to work. That was it, he was done for the day."

Arngrim said, "That's when they decided maybe it was not just me, that it was actually that hot."
Later in the podcast, the subject of their least favorite episodes came up, and Arngrim shared that she disliked any episodes where sporting events were involved, because that meant sitting in bleachers "where it was 100 million degrees" for hours at a time while crew members filmed reaction shots.
She recalled one of these shoots when Charlotte Stewart, who played school teacher Eva Beadle Simms, "was just sitting there, and she had in fact lost consciousness and fainted and blacked out, but just didn't fall over, and they didn't know she was out."
About the sweltering set, Butler admitted, "You just had to do whatever strategy you could. I always felt sorry for the women on the set … [the men] were basically dressed in a shirt and pants and dog-eared boots" while the female cast members wore dresses, petticoats, stockings and sometimes wigs.

Roylance shared that Michael Landon, who acted as executive producer, writer and director on "Little House" in addition to his starring role, let her film one scene with her blouse unbuttoned and her sleeves rolled up because "it was just miserable hot" that day on the set.
"It kind of just wasn't done," she admitted about the way she wore the blouse, "but it's in the shot, you can see it in the episode, and I was so grateful for that."
She also said that Stan Ivar, who played her husband, gave her "a little fan that I wrapped around my leg and blew up my skirt."
Donati, who, along with her twin sister, was an infant when she played Baby Rose Wilder, joked, "I don't want to brag, but I think I was the most pampered cast member there. They didn't let me get hot."
"Little House on the Prairie" was a Western family drama loosely based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's semi-autobiographical books. It follows the Ingalls family as they build a life in Walnut Grove, Minnesota, during the late 19th century.
Landon starred as the Ingalls family patriarch, Charles, Karen Grassle played his wife, Caroline, and Gilbert portrayed their daughter, Laura. The series premiered on NBC in 1974 and ran for nine seasons, through 1983, followed by three television movies.
'Virgin River' star Ben Hollingsworth says his kids have freedom in small town that 'doesn't fly' in LA
Ben Hollingsworth is all about giving his young kids the freedoms he grew up with.
During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 42-year-old actor discussed his participation in the upcoming Meet Cute Con, the latest season of "Virgin River" and how raising his kids in a small town affords them certain freedoms.
"Our kids are actually, we're able to kind of let them go off and be like, be back at five, which I feel like is kind of gone away now," he explained. "It's really, really tricky to do that. You definitely can't do it in major cities, or you'll be arrested as a parent. Like, what are you doing? Letting your kid run across Ventura Boulevard? In LA, that doesn't fly."
He went on to say that he is "thankful" he is able to give his children the kind of life where they can play outside as long as they are "back by this time when the sun goes down," noting, "I'm happy to provide them with some of what I got growing up."
Another way they have managed to keep their children out of the Hollywood bubble and grounded is by keeping them active in sports and through family activities, including hikes.

The actor also shared that while shooting season three of the show in British Columbia, Canada, his wife got pregnant with their third child, and inspired their big life change.
WATCH: Ben Hollingsworth and his family moved to a 'Virgin River-esque town'
"I'll be transparent with you, I won't say where we are, but we did move out of a large center and we actually did move to a very Virgin River-esque town because of 'Virgin River,'" he said. "We got pregnant with our third and we made a decision to put down roots in a smaller place. And raising your kids in small town is just, it's a luxury, and we're very happy that we're able to provide that for the kiddos."
He admitted that for them spending more time outside of Los Angeles happened "organically," noting that he isn't the only Hollywood star choosing to leave the city, citing Jana Kramer and Bethany Joy Lenz as examples.
JONAH HILL ABANDONED LOS ANGELES TO RAISE GROWING FAMILY IN ‘VERY SMALL TOWN’
Hollingsworth also shared his excitement about participating in the upcoming Meet Cute Con taking place at the Loveless Barn and Virgin Hotels Nashville between November 6 and 8.
The "Small Town Swoon" themed event will bring together stars from "Virgin River," "One Tree Hill" and "The Way Home," providing fans with the warmth, romance, and community they see on television in real-life.
WATCH: Ben Hollingsworth says 'Virgin River' is 'apple pie entertainment'
"I think community is the key," he said. "In today's world, we're losing that sense of community more and more every day, I feel like. And there's something really great about getting together and bringing a fan community together with some of the people that they're excited about, and they're used to seeing on the screen. They can meet and see in real life and ask questions that they've been dying to ask."
He is looking forward to meeting all the fans, noting this is the first time the entire cast of "Virgin River" has "gotten together as a cast to do this in the public," saying it "just felt right."

"It felt really great. We love Nashville. Who doesn't love Nashville? They're doing it at this barn, and it's not gonna be this massive convention center," he added. "It's a small intimate thing. So everyone who comes is gonna be a few feet away from us. And that really kind of helped sell it to us that we should do one."
When it comes to the success of his own show, Hollingsworth attributed it to the idea that it speaks to "a part of America that that we don't celebrate enough."
He explained that many television shows on Netflix and other streaming services tell stories of people in big cities, but as "more and more communities outside those centers have gained access" to these services, stories with "small town charm" and a "sense of community" have begun to resonate.
WATCH: Ben Hollingsworth is excited to attend Meet Cute Con with the 'Virgin River' cast
"We really took off during the pandemic," he said. "Because I think just… that it was a comforting show, it is a comforting show. We really take pride in kind of supplying, it's almost like medicine for people. You don't need to take whatever to go to sleep. You can watch a nice episode of 'Virgin River' and it's like a warm fuzzy blanket, or a hug."

He added: "It's apple pie entertainment. And I mean that in the best ways because we're not reinventing the wheel. We're doing something that's been done many times before, but we're making really good apple pie, I think. And so you know what you want, you know you're gonna love it, and we do it right."
Younger men are attracted to older women for reasons that have nothing to do with looks
Relationships between older women and younger men are drawing more attention as traditional dating expectations continue to shift.
Tammy Nelson, a board-certified sexologist, sex therapist and integrative relationship therapist in Los Angeles, told Fox News Digital that she is seeing greater interest in these age-gap relationships.
"Older women and younger men are now a thing," she said. "I know a lot of older women, even my age, that are dating or … being attracted to younger men."
Polling and research in recent years suggests that traditional dating rules around age may be loosening.
POLITICAL FIGHTS CAN RIP COUPLES APART — THERAPIST SHARES 3 WAYS TO SAVE A RELATIONSHIP
A 2023 Bumble poll of 26,849 dating-app users across more than 20 countries found that 59% of women were more open to dating someone younger, while 35% said they had become less judgmental about age-gap relationships.
A 2025 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences similarly found that men and women were both slightly more attracted to younger partners after blind dates. The study, which included adults ages 22 to 85, measured initial attraction rather than long-term relationship outcomes.
"This preference for youth among women will be shocking to many people," Paul Eastwick, a psychology professor at the University of California, Davis, and lead author of the study, said in a university news release. "But women’s preferences on the dates themselves revealed something else entirely."
A separate 2024 analysis of nearly 36,000 couples across 29 European countries found that women’s tendency to partner with slightly older men shifted toward same-age partners as they grew older.
Together, the findings do not establish a definitive rise in older women dating younger men, but they do suggest that the traditional older-man/younger-woman dating pattern may be less rigid than commonly assumed.
Nelson said some women may feel more comfortable expressing their sexuality as they get older.
"As women grow into their bodies, grow into their sexuality, we become less concerned with how other people see us," she said. "And then we discover that being sexy is an inside job."

A 2026 Ashley Madison survey found that 45% of the dating site’s female members said they reached their sexual prime at age 40 or older.
Nelson said her own conversations with age-gap couples suggest that men are drawn to older women because they may feel more comfortable communicating their sexual needs.
Additionally, many women are entering a new phase of life after raising children, which means the younger men may face less pressure around marriage. "They're really participating as equal partners," Nelson said.
"It comes back to this place where you realize you deserve pleasure," she added. "And what does pleasure look like? That's a whole new fun phase of life."
That does not mean relationships between older women and younger men are without complications, particularly when couples are considering a long-term future.

Differences in life stage, caregiving expectations and finances can create tension, according to Nelson. Couples may also have different views about marriage, children, retirement and long-term plans.
Mismatched cultural references can pose another challenge.
"It can be frustrating to be with someone who doesn't know who the Grateful Dead is, who's never been to a Rolling Stones concert or just doesn't know your level of cultural references," Nelson said. "There's something comforting about being with someone who grew up in the same world that you did."
At the same time, those differences can create opportunities for couples to learn from each other, she noted.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
"You can teach each other and share with each other a different perspective about the world," Nelson said. "And maybe share playlists with each other and discover new music."
Ultimately, according to the expert, women should not assume that desire or intimacy has an expiration date.
"We used to think that you hit menopause, and you went off the cliff and that was it," Nelson said. "And it's just not the case now."
"If we're going to be alive, we want to feel alive."
Angel Reese is in the WNBA Finals, but her Chicago exit raises questions about her winning mentality
Angel Reese has been talking about taking control of her destiny. With the Atlanta Dream preparing for the WNBA Finals, things have worked out pretty well for her. But OutKick wanted to know what, exactly, she meant by that.
Earlier this week, Reese told WSB-TV about "taking control of your destiny" and said, "I wanted to come to Atlanta." Those comments got people talking about how she ended up there, particularly the question of whether she forced her way out of Chicago.
ESPN TURNS ANGEL REESE’S 49 ‘MEBOUNDS’ INTO PROOF THAT SHE’S A LEGENDARY WNBA REBOUNDER
Accounts sharing the interview clip mocked the defense that Reese never requested a trade and didn’t "run from the grind." There’s a difference between formally asking for a trade and making your dissatisfaction known, and Reese had certainly done the latter.
Reese has blocked me on social media, so I’m probably not her first choice for this conversation. I’ve written critically about her and, even more often, her fawning media fans. This was an opportunity to hear her explanation in person.
So, during Friday’s WNBA Finals media availability, I asked her directly: "What role did you play in the trade?"
"I mean, they..." Reese began before trailing off, looking away, and pausing for about three seconds.
"I was being traded," she continued after the false start, turning her eyes back to me. "And I found out I was being traded, and luckily enough, I was able to work with Chicago and where I wanted to go. And Atlanta also wanted me, so it made sense for both of us. And I’m happy just to be here."
Watching her answer, it seemed like she was being very cautious about what she wanted to say. She acknowledged helping choose the destination, but began by describing the trade as something happening to her.
It still seems strange that the Sky were looking to trade Reese in the first place, given how much Chicago invested in her.
The Sky traded up from No. 8 to No. 7 in the 2024 draft to select Reese. The deal included sending Minnesota a 2025 second-round pick and the right to swap first-round picks in 2026.
That 2026 pick became an expensive part of the story. In a separate trade the following year, Minnesota acquired Chicago’s first-rounder outright in exchange for the No. 11 pick in the 2025 draft. The Lynx eventually used Chicago’s selection on Olivia Miles, this season’s unanimous Rookie of the Year.
Then, after two seasons with Reese, Chicago traded her to Atlanta for first-round picks in 2027 and 2028. The organization went from spending draft capital to make sure it got Reese to deciding it would rather have future picks than keep her.
So, what happened in between?
Well, for one thing, Reese publicly criticized the roster.
"We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a non-negotiable for me," she told the Chicago Tribune in September 2025.
ANGEL REESE’S LATEST WNBA CONTROVERSY SHOWS HOW VICTIMHOOD BECAME CENTRAL TO HER BRAND
She also said she wanted to spend her career in Chicago, "but if things don’t pan out, obviously I might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me."
The Sky suspended her for half a game over comments they called "detrimental to the team." Reese said she apologized to her teammates.
She never played another game for the Sky, remaining sidelined with a back injury after serving the half-game suspension. Chicago traded her the following April.
ESPN’s Alexa Philippou and Kendra Andrews reported when the trade was announced, citing unnamed sources, that Reese hadn’t requested a trade and that there was "no contention" between the two sides. Chicago, according to that account, worked with her representatives to find a new home.
That’s a pretty favorable version of events for Reese. And I’ve written plenty about WNBA reporters acting more like PR representatives than journalists, so I’m going to have some questions before accepting that account as the full story. Who were those sources? Were they speaking for Reese, Chicago or someone else? The ESPN report never identified them.
How much did that public criticism contribute to Chicago deciding to move on? Reporting that she never formally requested a trade doesn’t answer that. And I’m not taking an anonymously sourced account of an amicable trade as the full explanation for how the relationship ended.
Atlanta was quite a landing spot for the 24-year-old forward. The Dream went 30–14 the season before Reese arrived, and she’s helped them reach the Finals this year.
Reese had also compared coming to Atlanta with transferring from Maryland to LSU, where she helped win a national championship. So, I asked her a second question: How does she balance looking for a new opportunity to win against staying where she is and trying to build a winner?
"I mean, anywhere I go, I’m looking to win," Reese said. "I’ve won at every level I’ve been at. So I know me coming into any situation that I’m coming to, it’s a winning mentality, no matter what it looks like and how long it takes."
The Sky weren't strangers to winning before Reese arrived. Chicago made the playoffs five straight seasons from 2019 through 2023, including winning the WNBA championship in 2021. Then the Sky missed the postseason in both of her seasons there.
Reese also explained why she thought LSU was a useful comparison.
"I mean, when I transferred to LSU, not a lot of people expected that we were going to win the championship," she said. "I don’t even know if we were ranked at the time."
I checked. They were.
LSU finished the season before Reese arrived at 26–6, second in the SEC and No. 9 in the final AP poll. Tigers coach Kim Mulkey had already won national championships at Baylor and had just been named AP National Coach of the Year in her first season at LSU. The Tigers entered Reese’s first season ranked No. 16.

Maryland was a good program, too. The Terrapins went 23–9 and reached the Sweet 16 in Reese’s final season there. Terps coach Brenda Frese was also a national championship coach, but her title came in 2006, 16 years before Reese transferred. Mulkey had won her most recent championship at Baylor in 2019, just three years earlier.
Reese explained that Mulkey wanted to push her and prepare her for the next level.
"When you have a coach that really believes in you and has a mentality of winning, it really helps," she said. "So I was looking forward to and am grateful for that."

Now, Reese is right that LSU wasn’t widely expected to win the championship. FanDuel’s opening-day odds for the 2022–23 season had the Tigers at 50–1, the same price as Maryland. South Carolina was the clear favorite at +135.
But you don’t have to join the preseason favorite to improve your situation. Playing for Mulkey at a program coming off 26 wins was a pretty attractive option.
Reese told me she brings a winning mentality "no matter what it looks like and how long it takes." But in Chicago, two losing seasons brought public complaints about the roster and talk of going elsewhere. Now she’s in the Finals with a team that won 30 games before she got there.
SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER
Of course that’s a better situation for Angel Reese. I wasn’t asking why she’d want to play for a contender; I was asking how she weighs sticking around when winning takes longer than she’d like.
Chicago gave us a much clearer answer than she did Friday.
Hard Rock Bet Promo Code: Bet $5, Get $500 in No Sweat Bets for College Football Week 7
College football comes into full swing on Saturday with a great schedule of games. There are ranked matchups happening all day and new users can lock in bets all day with Hard Rock Bet. New users are being offered $500 in No Sweat Bets after a $5 wager. You bet $5 on a -500 or longer wager and receive ten No Sweat Bet tokens, one each day for ten days. If those bonus bets lose, you’ll receive $50 bonus bet tokens.
The big game on the schedule is between Ohio State and Indiana. The fourth-ranked team, Ohio State, has to find a way to beat the fifth-ranked team, Indiana. Last season, it wasn’t an explosive game, but it was a tough matchup. Indiana pulled it out en route to a Big Ten Championship and National title.
Another great game to check out is between Mississippi State and LSU. The Bulldogs come in at 16th in the nation with a 4-1 record. Their lone loss was to Alabama two weeks ago. LSU is ranked 22nd with two losses on their record. We all know about the Ole Miss loss, but they also dropped a game last week against Kentucky.
Georgia, coming off a big win over Alabama, hosts Auburn this week. They are expected to win big, but it is possible that this is a trap game. It wasn’t much of an emotional victory for Georgia; however, teams tend to have letdowns immediately after rival wins. Auburn has struggled against ranked opponents, losing to both Florida and Tennessee.
Oklahoma State, ranked at 18th in the country, heads into Houston and faces the Cougars. The Cowboys are 4-1 for the season, losing to Tulsa, but they did beat Oregon, so maybe those games cancel each other out. Houston’s lone loss was to Texas Tech, one of the best teams in the country.
These are just four games on the schedule for you to choose from. There are still around 50 other games to choose from if you have an angle on one of those. Hard Rock Bet is giving new users a chance to bet $5+ on their first wager. Regardless of if it wins or loses, you’ll receive a $50 bonus bet token each day for the next ten days, totaling $500 in bonus bets.
Jessie James Decker used kitchen secret to win over NFL star husband in one weekend
Jessie James Decker knows the way to her man's heart — and it involves a little spice.
The country singer revealed how she won over her husband, Eric Decker, after just one weekend together.
"I mean we all know he loves the jambalaya that's how I sealed the deal and had him fall in love with me after one weekend," Jessie, co-author of "The Secret Sauce," told Fox News Digital.
JESSIE JAMES DECKER RAISES ATHLETIC KIDS "BAREFOOT AND BEING FREE" INSTEAD OF GLUED TO IPADS
More than 13 years into their marriage, the former NFL wide receiver is still one of Jessie's biggest fans in the kitchen — although the singer admits that food isn't just fuel in the Decker household. It's practically a love language.
"I couldn't have married someone that didn't just enjoy food," Jessie emphasized. "And there's people out there that are like that. They're just like a meal's a meal. I'm like, it is an event. It's a celebration. Everything is."
When Jessie and Eric met, the country singer said he was "a Midwestern guy" who had never had Southern Cajun food.
Now, the "Cajun Queen" chapter of her new cookbook, "The Secret Sauce," which she wrote with her mother and sister, has earned a special place on his plate.
Fox News may be compensated for or earn a commission if you buy through our referral links.
"I would say the ‘Cajun Queen’ chapter is probably one of his favorites because that's what I started cooking because my mom pretty much fed us ninety percent Cajun growing up and… Cajun food has so much flavor."
He’s also become one of his wife's most trusted taste testers, although Jessie said he tends to tread lightly when a dish doesn't quite hit the mark.

"He'll just be like, 'it's good, it's good,'" she said, explaining that he usually asks a tactful question rather than coming right out and saying he doesn't like something.
Eric has also supported his wife in a saucy way: by posing nude with nothing but her cookbook covering him.
In a video posted to Jessie's Instagram, the former NFL star made some cheeky puns to promote her new cookbook.
"Morning buns anyone?" he asked as the camera pulled back to reveal his backside — covered by nude-colored underwear. "It's in 'The Secret Sauce.'"
"Need something hot and ready?" Eric asked as the camera pulled back to reveal him standing in front of a pizza oven wearing nude-colored underwear. "It's in 'The Secret Sauce.’"
It's become something of a tradition. Eric previously stripped down to promote Jessie's other cookbooks.

With four children — Vivianne, Eric Jr., Forrest and Denver — and busy schedules packed with sports and school activities, Jessie said protecting family time takes effort.
One tradition, however, remains nonnegotiable: eating dinner together as a family.
"Something that I'll always protect is sitting down at the dinner table all together and eating and just talking about our day," she told Fox News Digital.
The family ritual includes bread and oil in the middle of the table and Denver's requests for more butter.

But cooking with family doesn't always mean following the rules.

When asked who makes the biggest mess in the kitchen, Sydney didn't hesitate.

From handyman to House history: HVAC mogul Joe Strada pushes trade schools, business mindset in Florida race
If Republican Joe Strada wins Florida's eleventh congressional district in three weeks, he will likely be the wealthiest individual to ever hold a seat in the US House of Representatives.
It's an impressive trajectory for a man from humble beginnings who got his start fixing equipment in a bowling alley, but always had a zest for learning, building, and working with his hands.
Strada, whose HVAC, electrical and plumbing company employs roughly 4,000 people across 13 states, told Fox News Digital that his journey from handyman to wealthy entrepreneur embodies the American Dream but that neither his fortune nor his business success defines him.
"How about that? Just the kid, a handyman in a bowling alley, fixing things that break…and now I'm blessed to have a business that's in 13 states, thousands of people that work for me. It's been a blessing and, I'm able to live the American dream.
"But it's difficult. It was difficult with the headwinds and the rules and regulations that come out of Washington, D.C. And it was very challenging …It should be difficult, but not this challenging."
Strada wants everyone to be able to benefit from the American capitalist system that brought him great success:
"You know, as a business owner, I realized and recognized all the problems that Washington, D.C. is causing. All the rules and regulations that are impacting families, small business owners all across the country. And I finally said, we need a different type of person in Washington, DC.
"We have enough lobbyists, politicians and attorneys there. It's time to have a business-minded person that knows how to fix things that could go to Washington, and solve problems for the real, you know, real problems for the American people."
Strada is on a nationwide mission to pitch young people on the value of the trades, and suggests it's a worthy alternative to racking up massive student loans:
"The word of trade is really starting to spread now. Trades people, young people just want to be successful. Sometimes they don't know there's an opportunity in the trades. You come to my company, you don't know how to spell AC, you don't know what end of the screwdriver to hold, but you're paid the very first day. We train you. We give you a career that will support yourself and your family the rest of your life.
"You don't have a $250,000 student debt, and you're able to be successful… And my objective, not just with my company, it's across the country. I'm working with trade schools and high schools everywhere. I'm talking to young people all over our country to come into the trades because it's a great opportunity to live your version of the American dream."
As Strada's HVAC company was growing throughout the country, a labor shortage prompted a serious challenge, and a major shift in business strategy:
"The most difficult challenge was we had the opportunity to grow, and we didn't have enough labor. So I had to develop a program to teach people the trade. So we could grow, and we've been fortunate: we're in 13 states now and 4,000 people that work with us. We never would have done that if we didn't develop our own training program.
"I couldn't wait for the government to come and solve my problem. I'm a business guy who solves problems and I had to go develop a training program for young people."
Strada argues that people on government assistance should also take a serious look at the trades, suggesting we have a large untapped labor pool within our own borders:
"The border had to be closed, and we did a great job keeping all the criminals out of our country. And as far as getting more workers, we have Americans that want to work. We have plenty of people sitting at home getting a government paycheck. Let's get them to work.
"Some of them are just lazy and don't want to work, others just need the opportunity and the push to say, 'this is easy, let's get into a trade, let's learn a business.'
"I've have plenty of people that turned out to be an entrepreneur. They've opened their own business, and I'm very happy and gratified when I'm helping people."
Hard work is at the foundation of Strada's success, and he argues an inherent part of that economic success is bringing others along:
"You know, most people think when you're successful, it was handed to you. I got to tell you, David, I'm proud of the hard work my father did, but it was tough growing up. We were fortunate, we had a swimming pool, but it was mainly, a lot of times it was green because we couldn't afford chlorine. It was the best Marco Polo pool in the neighborhood.
"I started with nothing. It's just hard work. The passion and drive to want to be successful, to achieve goals. And it's always about everybody wins. My employees have to win. My customers have to win, the company has to win and that's the position I like to be in is to be able to help sit at a table, moderate those kinds of things and execute those results."
Ultimately, Strada downplays the importance of money, and emphasizes character, while revealing that his greatest motivation in life was born from a family tragedy:
"I wake up every day the same person I was when I was 12 years old that I am today. I've been blessed to be wealthy. I worked hard. I don't apologize for it…But you know, money is just a number. My perspective is everybody puts their head on the pillow at the end of the night. And when you put your head on your pillow, what do you stand for? What's the character of who you are?
"How much money you have…How many zeros you have and where the decimal point is on your bank account? None of that matters. What kind of character are you? I strive every day to do the right thing. For my God, my son in heaven who looks down at me, I want to make him proud. Every decision I make is to make him proud of me, and I do the best I can every single day."
Strada's son, Joe Strada, was an innocent bystander killed by a stray bullet in Lake Mary, FL, during a gunfight outside a shopping center in 2018.
Finally, Strada promises to be a powerful voice for tradeschools if he is elected to Congress next month.
"Well, first of all, I would love to have my name on the SAVE Act and put it into law. That's the first thing. I also think our trade schools are so important: to treat our trade school just like we have our Ivy League colleges.
"We're funding our Ivy league colleges billions and billions of dollars and we're graduating unhirable people that, some of them, hate America. I think the trade schools need more support from our government and treat them just like the universities."
Strada will face off in the general election against Democrat James Pericola, a Clinton administration official.
