Longtime Patriots C David Andrews retiring
The team announced Wednesday that a retirement press conference will be held for Andrews, 32, on Monday.
The Patriots released the two-time Super Bowl champion in March with one year and $8 million fully guaranteed remaining on his contract.
Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia in 2015, Andrews played in 124 regular season games (121 starts) and 12 playoff games (10 starts).
Andrews played in only four games in 2024 before season-ending shoulder surgery. He missed the entire 2019 season after suffering a pulmonary embolism.
At the time of his release, team owner Robert Kraft released a statement regarding Andrews' importance to the franchise.
"His leadership, work ethic, and dedication to the team earned him the respect and admiration of his coaches and teammates, who elected him as an eight-time team captain," Kraft said. "The importance of his leadership during his career cannot be overstated. David is a true professional, and his impact on this organization will be felt for many years to come."

Kristin Davis opens up about having ‘disordered eating'
Kristin Davis disclosed on her podcast, Are You a Charlotte?, that continuous discussion about her body during her time on Sex and the City caused her to develop disordered eating. She recounted that co-star Sarah Jessica Parker once suggested she had body dysmorphia, a notion Davis initially dismissed, believing it was due to public perception of her 'pear-shaped' figure. Davis confessed to engaging in extreme dieting, including an instance where she fainted in a car park, as a result of the intense scrutiny and pressure regarding her appearance. She also shared that fans would often comment on her not being 'fat' when meeting her, which she understood as a compliment but felt was in comparison to Sarah Jessica Parker. The Sex and the City spin-off, And Just Like That..., is set to conclude after its third season.

Tennis star struggles to keep cool after complaining about crying baby in stadium
British tennis player Emma Raducanu was knocked out of the Cincinnati Open after a narrow defeat to Belarusian player Aryna Sabalenka. During the final set of the match, Raducanu's concentration was broken by a crying infant in the stands, leading her to vocalise her annoyance to the chair umpire. The umpire responded by asking if Raducanu wanted the child removed, prompting cheers from the crowd. The long and tireless match lasted over three hours, with Sabalenka ultimately clinching the win 7-6(3), 4-6, 7-6(5). Raducanu is next scheduled to play in the 2025 U.S. Open, participating in the main draw of the women's singles.

'Inside the NBA' fans receive early blow as schedule reveals huge change to show ahead of ESPN switch
If the preliminary schedule for ESPN's NBA coverage is to be believed, fans of 'Inside the NBA' may be headed for disappointment for the program's new home. Last year, ESPN agreed to a sublicensing deal with Turner Sports for the rights to air the popular NBA halftime and post-game show starring Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny 'The Jet' Smith, and Charles Barkley. The deal was reached after Turner's network - TNT - lost the rights to air NBA games for the 2025-26 season and onward. But even though the show is set to still hit the airwaves, the possibility for ESPN altering the program remained. According to Jon Lewis of Sports Media Watch, ESPN's advance calendar lists the debut of the award-winning show set for ESPN's first NBA doubleheader of the season on October 22. However, it appears the network has only a half-hour block for the show. 'The show would run from 12:05-12:35am ET, leading to a Bristol-based SportsCenter at 12:35,' Lewis reported. A report from Sports Media Watch indicates ESPN will restrict the show to half-an-hour after the network broadcasts its first doubleheader of the season on October 22 Daily Mail Sport has reached out to ESPN for comment on this report. The programming decision has notably not been announced by the 'Worldwide Leader in Sports' and is likely subject to change. But Lewis reports that after that half-hour show leading out of the doubleheader, the schedule doesn't list 'Inside' to appear until Christmas Day. A report from last November noted that the show would air 'during key moments on the league's calendar: opening night, Christmas Day, the playoffs and the NBA Finals.' That report also added that it was 'also likely it will be on during Saturday nights in the second half of the season, when ABC has a prime-time package of games.' Fans and those appearing on the show have shared concerns for the rigidity of the company's programming windows as they transition to the new network. Last month, Barkley even joked about those concerns, saying, 'Are they gonna say we gotta go to the SportsCenter?' 'Inside' has been no the air since 1989 - debuting on TNT and going through multiple different analysts before arriving at the main roster of four stars.
