U.S. Air Force mom surprises family on turf at Vikings-Bills game following 473-day overseas deployment
Minnesota Vikings home fans got every bit of their money’s worth out of Monday night's football festivities, with U.S. Bank Stadium putting on a show to complement the primetime showdown against the Buffalo Bills.
During an early break in play, the NFL presented its signature "Salute to Service" moment at midfield. Standing on the turf were the two daughters and parents of Master Sergeant Kelsey McLeod, who was in attendance to surprise her family.
Dressed in her fatigues, McLeod walked out from behind them as the stadium cameras caught her daughters turning around. The girls were in disbelief before sprinting into their mother's arms.

Her parents joined seconds later, embracing the returning service member for the first time in an astounding 473 days following her overseas tour in Korea.
An ovation grew from the roughly 66,000 fans in attendance, with players and coaches on both sidelines pausing to watch the heartwarming scene.
The energy carried into halftime as Minnesota officially inducted legendary running back Adrian Peterson into the Vikings Ring of Honor as its 29th member. Peterson, the franchise's all-time leading rusher, came out, and it was a shot of adrenaline for the Vikings faithful.
WNBA star Olivia Miles was also spotted on the turf in an unexpected cameo, patrolling the sidelines as a guest celebrity photographer with her camera in hand.

Philly DSA decries backlash over boycott targeting Jewish eateries
Philadelphia Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) released a statement Sunday condemning the backlash against a recent boycott ride targeting pro-Israel and Jewish local restaurant owners, calling it an act of "political repression of anti-Zionism."
Last week, the organizations Philly Bike On Your Left, Philly Writers Against the War on Gaza, Boycott CookNSolo and Philly Solidarity Calendar shared a flier promoting the bicycle boycott event, targeting at least six restaurants by name in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square.
The event received widespread condemnation from city and state leadership, particularly after it was scheduled on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi pogrom against Jews in Germany and Austria marked by widespread anti-Jewish violence.
On the day of the boycott, Philly DSA attacked elected officials' statements, calling them "bad-faith" and "dangerous" for accusing critics of antisemitism.
"From the Senator [John] Fetterman and Congressman [Brendan] Boyle to Governor [Josh] Shapiro, Mayor [Cherelle] Parker, and Council President [Kenyatta] Johnson, politicians have joined a chorus of bad-faith and dangerous conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism and invoking comparisons to the Kristallnacht that trivialize trauma and suppress political speech," the group said in a statement. "These condemnations were not good-faith conversations about tactics."
Philly DSA clarified in its statement that it did not organize or endorse the boycott but accused city and state leaders of attempting "to delegitimize and chill acts of solidarity in the fight for Palestinian liberation" through "an unacceptable use of political power." The group also claimed that elected officials were likely pressured into their statements by "Zionist" organizations.
THE ANTISEMITISM HORSESHOE IS PLAYING OUT IN REAL TIME — FROM NEW YORK TO PARIS AND BEYOND
"We know that organized Zionist lobbying groups actively and intensely pressure elected officials, including our own elected socialists, to issue these condemnations, manufacturing political controversy that shifts attention away from Israel's actions and toward those organizing in solidarity with Palestine," the statement read.
Philly DSA emphasized that it was not antisemitic and rejected the framing of protests like the boycott as such.
"Jewish businesses and shops belong in Philadelphia: challenges to the violence of Zionist ideology do not dull this commitment to Jewish safety and belonging. DSA stands up and fights back against antisemitism, as we do for the dignity of all working people," the statement read.
In a comment to Fox News Digital, Philly DSA stood by its original statement. Parker's and Johnson's offices also stood by their original statements condemning the boycott.
Shapiro spokesperson Rosie Lapowsky referred to a previous statement released by the governor's office on the boycott.
"The Shapiro Administration is aware of this planned protest and the Pennsylvania State Police is engaged with our local partners to ensure the safety and well-being of our neighbors in Philadelphia, Lapowsky said last week. "This bike ride, masquerading as a protest to advance the cause of justice, is nothing more than blatant antisemitism designed to intimidate and drive Jewish businesses out of our communities, and there is no place for that in our Commonwealth."
JEWISH TEENS PREPARE TO COMBAT ANTISEMITISM ON CAMPUS WITH HISTORY, HUMOR AND COURAGE
Fox News Digital also reached out to Fetterman's and Boyle's offices for comment.
On Sunday, hundreds of Jewish and pro-Israel community members turned out to oppose the demonstration, with heated exchanges unfolding across several city blocks. Dozens of diners also lined up outside the targeted restaurants in a show of solidarity with the Jewish-owned businesses.
Several Jewish and pro-Israel organizations, including the Israeli-American Council (IAC), also spoke out in defense of the targeted restaurants and encouraged others to do the same.
"When we heard about a ride taking place on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, we could not help but think about history and tell ourselves: we will not let this happen again. Today, we stand together, and we will not let anyone threaten our community," the IAC said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "This ride does not target a government or a policy. Its stated goal is to drive businesses owned by Zionists out of the city, as if being a Zionist were criminal or illegitimate. It targets six businesses whose owners are Jewish. When people publish a list of Jewish businesses and organize to drive them out of a city, we know from history what that is."
Rams coach Sean McVay 'kicking himself' after Puka Nacua's knee injury on final play likely lands him on IR
The Los Angeles Rams’ injury woes continue, as wide receiver Puka Nacua is very likely heading to the injured reserve with an MCL and PCL sprain in his right leg, as well as turf toe.
And head coach Sean McVay admitted he’s "kicking himself" after Nacua’s knee ailments occurred on the final play of Sunday’s game where the Rams were leading the Washington Commanders.
"I'd be lying to you if I said I haven't questioned the decision-making on that last play over and over in my head of what could have been another option that you felt like could have gotten a conversion, and maybe ended the game that would've led to him not taking a violent hit to his right knee," McVay explained to reporters on Monday, per ESPN.

"And so, it's stuff that I feel tremendous responsibility for, and we've got to be able to figure out how to protect these guys while also putting them in positions that help our team and allow them to be able to shine."
Nacua was given a hand-off on a third-down play where the Rams were trying to end the game. He rushed for five yards, but he took a massive hit and stayed down on the ground longer than expected before walking off on his full power.
THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!
But McVay revealed that Nacua will be missing a good chunk of time, and this is a team that’s already ailing at receiver with Davante Adams out for quite a while with a hamstring tear in Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals.
If Nacua officially hits the IR as McVay indicated, he would be forced to miss the next four games for Los Angeles, which include matchups with the Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.
With their top two receivers on the shelf, McVay said the Rams would "look at all avenues," including a potential trade before the Nov. 10, 4 p.m. ET NFL deadline, to add a receiver that quarterback Matthew Stafford could utilize.
Nacua is an obvious loss for this offense, as Stafford feels very comfortable giving him the ball no matter where he is on the field. Even missing Weeks 2 and 3 with a hip injury, Nacua has 70 catches for 715 yards and four touchdowns.
Those 70 receptions are the most for a player through their first seven games in NFL history.
This isn’t at all how the Rams, and the football world for that matter, saw their 2026 season unfolding with a 5-4 record after Week 9. But injuries to players like Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald, Jaylen Watson and many others have led McVay and his coaching staff to be creative in filling the gaps.
If the season were to end today, the Rams would not be in a playoff spot, and they are among teams with the hardest schedule moving forward. So, that creativity by McVay and others will be forced for weeks to come.
But this is an injury McVay can’t let himself off the hook for.
Philadelphia Eagles hit rock bottom as coach Nick Sirianni denies flipping off home fans
Things have gone completely off the rails in Philly.
The Philadelphia Eagles sit at 2-7, and Nick Sirianni is defending himself against accusations of giving Eagles fans the bird.
Sunday’s 19-11 divisional loss against the New York Giants was bad enough on its own. New York had not won in South Philly since 2013, and the loss marked seven straight for an Eagles squad in free fall.
EAGLES HEAD COACH SAYS HE'D NEED TO BE A BETTER ACTOR THAN JOEY TRIBBIANI TO TONE DOWN HIS BEHAVIOR
Right after the final whistle, cameras caught Sirianni walking off with security chief Big Dom, appearing to raise his right middle finger toward booing fans.
Failing to stack up wins is one thing. Turning the home crowd into your enemy is the quickest way to get run out of town.
Asked about it Monday, Sirianni flatly denied flipping off the home fans.
"Absolutely not," Sirianni said. "That was a surprise to me. Absolutely not."

Sirianni has always been a loose cannon. Fans loved it when he was barking at road crowds in Kansas City and Indianapolis or jawing at opposing sidelines. He even caught flak for cupping his ear at the Linc during an ugly win over Cleveland. Taunting outside haters works when you're winning, but picking fights with paying hometown customers during a collapse is pure self-sabotage.
The offense is running on fumes without the retired Lane Johnson and with Jalen Hurts sidelined.
Interim starting Eagles QB Joe Milton had an expectedly ugly afternoon, throwing 18-of-34 for 169 yards, coughing up a lost fumble, and taking seven sacks, including three from Giants rookie linebacker Arvell Reese.
Across the field, a physical, Harbaugh-led Giants squad looks ready to take the NFC East. New York rotated J.J. McCarthy on the ground to move the chains and let Jameis Winston punch in the go-ahead score.
GIANTS STAR WIDEOUT BLASTS ANALYST FOR QUESTIONING SIDELINE BEHAVIOR DURING WIN AGAINST EAGLES
In the aftermath of the loss, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman hit the fire-sale button, trading defensive tackle Jordan Davis to Jacksonville on Monday for first and second-round picks. Philadelphia now holds 10 selections in the top two rounds over the next three drafts.
The future draft capital is loaded for tomorrow, but the present state of the Eagles is a complete disaster.

College Football Playoff committee executive admits they don't care fans are against 24-team playoff
Monday made what was long rumored official: we're moving to a 24-team College Football Playoff starting in the 2027-2028 season.
The reaction from most fans, commentators, analysts as well as many coaches and people within the sport, can be summed up in one word: why?
As recently as 2023, the playoff was four teams. The smaller field ensured that the best of the best would compete for a title. Only one-loss or undefeated teams had a chance at postseason glory ... well, unless you were an undefeated Florida State team.
Then, in 2024, we moved to a 12-team format, which offered more opportunity for teams to change their season. The 2024-2025 Ohio State Buckeyes were a perfect example, losing the final game of the season before roaring back to life and steamrolling their way through to a championship.
The 12-team format has generally been well liked; it's a solid balance of maintaining the exclusivity of the tournament, while adding more big postseason games on campuses and mostly preserving bowl season and the importance of the regular season. While the upcoming 2026-2027 version of the playoff will be just the third under the expanded format, we're already moving on to even more teams. Somehow.
24 teams essentially means the end of meaningful bowl games. With a bowl field so diluted by the increase in playoff participants, the remaining bowls will be picking up scraps. Major conference championship games are set to become a thing of the past.
The regular season, long the best in sports, will be significantly less meaningful. Not only will three losses not be enough to keep teams out, there's a strong chance that four or potentially even five loss teams (from the SEC) will be in the 24-team playoff. This might mean more scheduled games between big programs, since they'll no longer be concerned about a single loss hurting their chances, but if it doesn't, the sport will have sacrificed the regular season almost entirely.
Which again, raises the all-important question: who wanted this? Who was asking for it? Why is it even happening?
The answer is money, money and money. The Big Ten led the charge for more playoff spots, and other conferences and groups eventually fell in line. The SEC, long the hold out, caved, presumably because commissioner Greg Sankey realized he could start campaigning for all 16 conference teams to reach the playoff each season.
Obviously, more playoff games means more money coming from the broadcast partner, ESPN. More teams will have late-season home games with a potential "playoff appearance" on the line. Then be able to sell expensive home playoff game tickets to their fans. Coaches now have a lower bar to claim a successful season. And boosters can see a return on investment instead of seeing their money go towards reaching the Pop-Tarts Bowl.
The one group missing here? Fans. As usual. Fans weren't asking for this, and surveys have shown that they overwhelmingly don't want it. Unsurprisingly, it's happening anyway. And in a news conference announcing the change, Executive Director Rich Clark explained why: the playoff committee doesn't care.
BIG TEN CONFERENCE COMMISSIONER GIVES TONE DEAF STATEMENT ABOUT 24-TEAM COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF
Clark said on the call that changes brought about by the 24-team field will be beneficial for the sport, and most importantly, the business school executive's new favorite word: "stakeholders."
"New scheduling standards will incentivize institutions to schedule more compelling non-conference matchups during the regular season, and 16 Playoff games will now be played on campuses, bringing Playoff football to more students and local fans," Clark said. "Finally, our commitment as the CFP administration and staff, we will make the 24-team Playoff spectacular for the fans, for the student-athletes, for the institutions, and for all our stakeholders."

Clark answered a few questions, saying that the committee will evaluate and encourage strong schedules, and teams will be required to play 10 games against teams from Power 4 conferences. That's all well and good. But what came next was frustrating and a bit emblematic of how this whole process has played out.
One reporter asked Clark about fan opinion, saying "the online segment of the fan base seems to be maybe against this," and wondered how Clark thought it would be "received by fans." Here's what he said:
"We're aware of the fan sentiment and that many fans aren't in favor of expansion," Clark responded. "That was certainly weighed into the decision. It was considered. Ultimately we just need to make a spectacular Playoff. I mean, the CFP has a responsibility to our fans, they're the lifeblood of college football. We owe it to them to make this great. That really is our intent. We appreciate our fans. We did take into account their sentiment. That was rolled into this decision. But we decided to move forward with it."
Ah. Yes. We know fans don't want it, we just didn't care and did it anyway because it made more money. Perfection.
Obviously, that's the real explanation for why they decided to "move forward" anyway. Fans are dead last when it comes to priorities among the leadership in college football. A "spectacular playoff" doesn't require 24 teams, in fact, it's more likely to dilute it.
In 2025-2026, for example, several games between P4 and G6 teams were widely decried as being non-competitive. Ole Miss blew out Tulane 41-10 and Oregon handled James Madison 51-34. Even in the 2024-2025 playoff, ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit went on a rant decrying the Indiana Hoosiers reaching the 12-team field when they lost 27-17. In a 24-team format, how bad will that 24th team be?

Probably not great!
But this is what happens in modern college football; those in charge focus exclusively on short-term financial success over long-term health. Fans come last. Money comes first. At least this time they're admitting it.
NTSB recovers cockpit voice recorder from Learjet crash site in Florida
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced on Monday that it has recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Learjet 60 that crashed last week near Greenacres, Florida, killing all nine people on board.
"NTSB investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Learjet 60 that crashed on Nov. 1 near Greenacres, Florida," the NTSB said on X.
The CVR was found at the location of the initial impact, according to the NTSB.
The NTSB said the CVR is being evaluated in the board's Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C.
The excavation work at the impact site has been completed.
This comes after investigators said on Friday that they recovered part of an engine from the Learjet.
Crews started excavating the site on Wednesday after utility workers had drained water and cleared other hazards, the NTSB said.
Once investigators began digging, they found a part of one engine, the board said.
Earlier last week, investigators recovered the left tail elevator, which controls the jet's pitch, in three separate pieces. One of them was found nearly four miles from where the Learjet 60 crashed.
FLORIDA PLANE CRASH VICTIMS IDENTIFIED AFTER 9 PEOPLE KILLED IN FIERY WRECK
"Even small pieces of the wreckage may contain important evidence that could help investigators determine what happened," the agency wrote last week on X.
The Learjet 60 left Austin-Bergstrom International Airport around 10:37 a.m. on Sunday, bound for North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas. The aircraft plunged into the ground in Palm Beach County shortly before 1 p.m., killing everyone aboard.
Austin tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, 45, was killed in the crash alongside his wife, Helen Sharp, 40, their children, Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, the children's nanny, Anita Maria Cetina, and couple Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms were reported across South Florida when the Learjet crashed. Investigators said the weather will be a major focus of their probe.
At about 41,000 feet, an air traffic controller told the flight crew that moderate precipitation was roughly five miles away and said they could move either left or right, stressing that the turn toward Freeport in the Bahamas "looks pretty bad."
The crew was then instructed to fly to a waypoint near Naples, Florida. The crew made a deviation toward Palm Beach County and reported that weather conditions were deteriorating. The crew told air traffic control that there was icing and turbulence, asking the controller if there was a "better ride" ahead.

Democrats could create 'angry' 'single-issue' voters in 2028 if they remove school choice, CEO warns
The CEO of America’s largest school choice advocacy organization is warning Democrats that abolishing existing universal school choice programs could trigger a major voter backlash in the 2028 elections.
"Put yourself into the shoes of a lower-income mother who is a single parent. She has two or three kids that now just got access into a great private school or a great homeschooling environment that she couldn't afford otherwise without a state program like in Texas, and suddenly, the new wave of people that maybe she even voted for is saying, 'I want to take those options away from your kid immediately and put them back into the school that they've hated,'" American Federation for Children CEO Tommy Schultz told Fox News Digital. "That you've been begging the school district to change policies about … You're now going to tell them you got to go back to that school? They're going to become a single-issue voter in 2028 and vote you out of office."
"I think a lot of these folks that just won office need to be really careful with trying to threaten taking away a family from an educational setting that their kids are thriving in that they're loving, that they're feeling safe in," he added. "That's fundamentally what's at issue here."
DEMOCRATS SEIZE MAJORITY OF GOVERNORS’ OFFICES IN ELECTION-NIGHT SHIFT
Schultz’s comments followed recent midterm election gains by Democrats that have put landmark Republican education policies into question. Republican governors across the country previously passed universal school choice and parental rights measures as post-COVID culture war debates intensified and enrollments declined in major metropolitan public school districts.
In Texas, Democratic Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa signaled her intent to reverse school choice expansion upon taking office.
11TH-HOUR POWER PLAY TARGETS INCOMING DEM GOVERNOR AFTER HISTORIC GOP DEFEAT
"It is a victory for the parents of Texas. We are taking our children’s education back from a government that has failed them," Hinojosa said during her victory speech. "Schools will not be taken out of our control, shuttered or suffocated. Being a parent is hard enough without carrying the burdens of a government’s failures. To the children of Texas: Your schools will not close."
The renewed clash over vouchers comes as major urban districts navigate shifting enrollment dynamics. Big-city public school systems across the nation have struggled to retain students as families seek alternative options outside their neighborhood assignments.
NUMBER OF K-12 PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS HAS DECLINED IN MORE THAN HALF OF STATES, REPORT INDICATES
In Texas, for example, the Houston Independent School District board previously voted unanimously to close 12 campuses, citing declining enrollment.
"On day one, I will fire [Texas Education Agency Commissioner] Mike Morath, and we will work tirelessly to repair the damage of the Texas voucher scam, and end an era in which our schools are sold for parts," Hinojosa added during her victory remarks.
A BLUE WAVE IN GOVERNORS' MANSIONS COULD HURT FAMILIES MORE THAN A BLUE CONGRESS
Voucher and school choice programs face similar legislative challenges following Democratic victories in states like Iowa, Georgia and Nevada.
Schultz predicted that attempts to roll back school choice legislation could ignite a new wave of parental rights activism. Conservative victories in school board races in recent cycles underscored how parents began paying closer attention to local governance, challenging progressive curricula, and voicing strong opposition to explicit content and LGBTQ-related books in classrooms.
Conservative political action committees have significantly expanded their footprint in local education contests since 2022. The Virginia-based American Principles Project (APP) first engaged in Florida school board races that year, funding attack ads targeting critical race theory and gender ideology. The APP and the 1776 Project PAC remain among the prominent conservative groups working to shape national education policy.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, school board meetings have frequently turned into high-profile clashes over parental authority in public education. Schultz foresees similar grassroots pushback if choice options are eliminated.
DENVER MOTHER FIGHTS FOR HER DAUGHTER'S EDUCATION AS ADVOCATES MAKE NATIONWIDE SCHOOL CHOICE PUSH
"If you're going to take away something from parents that they're really loving—like especially something as emotional as the school that your kid is going to—they’re going to get quite angry," Schultz said. "That's where you've seen these movements, in Florida, where these parents rose up against candidates or even court cases where they tried to take hundreds of thousands of kids out of the schools they loved and put 'em back in the schools that they hated. They became single-issue voters."
The broader parental rights movement led several Republican governors to codify parental bills of rights in recent years. Political analysts frequently point to parental rights platforms as key drivers in the election campaigns of figures like former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
TRUMP EDUCATION OFFICIAL SAYS SCHOOL CHOICE PROGRAM WILL PUT PRESSURE ON DEM-LED STATE
"If you look at the headlines from that 2018 race with Governor Ron DeSantis, the school choice moms tipped the Florida race for him," Schultz said. "That's the type of thing we're talking about that could happen to a lot of these candidates who maybe won on affordability, but they won maybe on small margins, particularly in these state legislative races."
"Don't overread your mandate to suddenly say, 'I want to wipe out a really popular program with parents,'" he added.
Hinojosa did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Colts' Jonathan Taylor deserves to be sent to 'contender' if traded, former teammate says
NFL teams are coming down to the wire when it comes to the trade deadline, needing to make trades for the remainder of the season by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
At this point, teams have positioned themselves as buyers or sellers, and the Indianapolis Colts are the latter. And all eyes are on them to see what happens with All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor.
Will he remain in a Colts uniform for, at least, the rest of the year? Or will a contender finally hit the asking price needing to send him elsewhere?
CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE
Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon, who gave the nod to trade guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner already, is reportedly taking calls on Taylor as well as quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receiver Josh Downs. But Taylor has been the cream of the trade buzz crop since the Colts cemented themselves as a team in rebuild mode.
So, should Irsay-Gordon and interim GM Ed Dodds pull the trigger on a Taylor trade? That question was posed to former Colts quarterback Nick Foles, who has been watching the situation unfold very closely, by OutKick during a recent interview look ahead to his role as an analyst on Netflix for the first-ever NFL Thanksgiving Eve game later this month.
"Man, now I have to put on a business mind, right?" he responded. "As a person who was his teammate, I would never trade him ‘cause I know just what he brings to the team as a leader and as a player. But as a personnel decision maker, he’s getting older as a running back, and if you can get something super value like a high draft pick for him – you are in rebuild. You’ve already shown that. I feel like you’re going to do it.

"That pains me to say."
If the Colts do decide to part ways with the 27-year-old running back, he did have one request.
"Please send Jonathan to a team that’s a contender," he said emphatically. "Give him that opportunity, right? Like he deserves that opportunity.
"If they do, he will be dearly missed in Indianapolis because of the quality of human being, teammate, and player he is. But I can definitely see her doing it from a business perspective in this rebuild to just get some draft capital."
If the Colts are going to trade Taylor, they reportedly want a steep asking price met – something like the San Francisco 49ers gave the Carolina Panthers for Christian McCaffrey. That was a second-, third, and fourth-round pick in 2023 and a 2024 fifth-round pick in the famous 2022 deadline deal.
A contender with that type of draft capital could justify the move knowing Taylor would be locked in through the 2028 season. It wouldn’t just be a trade for the 2026 campaign, but two years in the future before a possible extension.
Among the teams being aggressive on the trade market are the New York Giants, as the John Harbaugh-led squad owns the top spot in the NFC East in his first season there, and they could use an elite running back to add to their offense now and for the future. The Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings and others have been rumored to be in the Taylor market, but the clock is ticking and time is of the essence.
Who will bend first, if at all? This is why the deadline is so intriguing for NFL fans, including Foles who can’t wait to see where teams stack up after it.
Foles also can’t wait for his duties on Nov. 25 when he and fellow ex-pros Clay Matthews and Michael Irvin join Elle Duncan as part of the broadcast crew for the historic matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers. U2 will also celebrate 50 years together from the 50-yard line, as they perform at halftime with special guests during this new NFL holiday tradition.
Teams will look different at that point, though, and the coming weeks will show if those trade deadline moves paid off or not.
LeBron James says 'my family is safe' after man caught on grounds of his Los Angeles home
Police handcuffed a man outside LeBron James' Los Angeles home Friday night, and by the time officers finished asking questions, they slapped him with a felony stalking charge.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department were dispatched to the private residence in posh Brentwood following a 9-1-1 dispatch regarding a suspected burglary. Upon arrival at the premises, responding units caught a man roaming the grounds.

Investigators established that the individual never breached the interior structure and carried no weapons. Officers secured and handcuffed the man.
Once officers sorted through the story on site, they bypassed a standard burglary rap and booked him on charges of felony stalking instead.
SIXERS FAN WHO HAD HIS CUP OF WINE DRUNK BY LEBRON JAMES MID-GAME DESCRIBES MOMENT WITH EPIC QUOTE
Luckily, nobody was home when it went down.
James was out on the road with the 76ers, handling business against his old squad in Cleveland on Friday night before flying straight to Chicago for a Sunday tilt with the Bulls. He addressed the situation following Philadelphia's 127-122 win over Chicago at United Center.
"My family is safe and that's the most important. We're still looking into everything." None of the off-court noise seemed to bother James once the ball was tipped. He went out and hung 22 points on Chicago.
Under the California Penal Code, a felony stalking charge carries strict criminal consequences. If convicted, the suspect could face up to three years in state prison, a $10,000 fine, formal probation and a court-ordered restraining order.
The Los Angeles Police Department has not released the suspect's name, and the case remains under active review.

Knicks guard walks back comment about Taylor Swift being fake fan after Swifties, including his wife, attack
Knicks guard Tyler Kolek knew the Swifties weren't going to appreciate him calling Taylor Swift the "fakest" celebrity fan that sits courtside. It wouldn’t matter if she actually was, that group will defend the singer no matter what.
He probably didn’t know his own franchise was going to throw him under the bus. They did, almost immediately after his comments started to circulate.
A spokesperson said in a statement to OutKick, "Taylor Swift has been a Knicks fan for many years, has a long history with Madison Square Garden, and we are incredibly appreciative of her support of the organization."
THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!
Now if anyone was going to have his back, it would be his girlfriend Lexi Sousa, right? While I'm sure she didn’t kick him out of the house over it, she didn’t exactly have his back either.
She reminded Kolek that he was one of the guys in attendance during the Era's Tour, who, it doesn’t sound like needed to be dragged there by his girlfriend. The heat from the Swifties, including his girlfriend, had him walk back the comment.
"It’s just a question that was asked for me, that maybe I answered in the wrong way. Take that on the chin. I love her music. We were just playing it five minutes ago, and I’m singing every word to every song. Nothing against her at all," he said after the Knicks win over the Cavs this weekend, according to the NY Post.
"People have been going back and sending me all this stuff about her coming to the games, and she was actually wearing a [No.] 13 jersey [of] Joakim Noah back in the day with Carmelo [Anthony]. That’s on me. I wasn’t up to date on my Taylor Swift Knicks fandom. So that’s on me."
As someone with no dog in this fight, other than some minor skirmishes with Swifties, it's bizarre that the team that won the NBA Championship last season is getting caught up in such a made-up controversy.
NFL LEGEND EMMITT SMITH DEFENDS TAYLOR SWIFT AS HER PRESENCE AT GAMES DRAWS IRE OF FOOTBALL FANS
The fact that the Knicks wanted no part of the Swifties too is another piece of this that is hard for me to wrap my mind around. All I'm going to say is Tyler Kolek better bone up on his Kylie Jenner Knicks fandom.
She's easily my favorite Knicks fan. She might not have a group of insane fans who go to war with anyone who criticizes her, but I will take offense if there are any claims that Kylie isn't a real fan.
She's done more for the Knicks than a lot of other fans, including Taylor Swift. Unlike Kolek, I'll stand by that.
You won't find my apologizing, because if you do, you'll end up doing things like Taylor Swift karaoke in the locker room.
