Ex-NFL star Joe Theismann readies for American Century, admits he's Miles Teller 'fanboy'
Former NFL star Joe Theismann will enter the 2025 American Century Championship as one of the veterans in the celebrity golf tournament. Though the former Washington Redskins quarterback has only won the Korbel Hole-In-One Contest at Edgewood Tahe Golf Club, he told Fox News Digital he is as excited as ever to be a part of the tournament once again this year. "I've played in 35 of 36 (tournaments)," he said. "I certainly circle those days. The American Century Championship has been unbelievable as far as competition goes, the people you get a chance to be around." Theismann highlighted the charitable component of the American Century Championship as well. Millions of dollars are raised during the festivities to benefit the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation. "American Century puts on a great week for their customers and for all of us. They have karaoke nights, and they have great dinners where you get a chance to interact and see people you haven't really seen," Theismann said. "My wife and I really look forward to it. You learn so much." He said he got to talk to Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen about his 2023 season last year and delighted in speaking with actor Miles Teller. "'Top Gun: Maverick' is one of my favorite movies in the world. So, I had a chance to see him last year. I was like a little kid," he said with a laugh. "He was on the range hitting balls. I didn't want to bother him, but I wanted to say hello." Theismann was not embarrassed to admit he was a bit of a "fanboy" when it came to Teller. "I'm not embarrassed," he told Fox News Digital. "There are certain people that I've met. I've been blessed to meet people, whether they're heads of state, heads of countries, many presidents, CEOs, some of the most incredible people in the world I've had a chance to meet and just to be able to continue to watch people and see them and really get to know what they're like, what makes them tick. That's what I enjoy – getting to know the person." Theismann was tied with Joe Flacco and Jason Scheff last year and tied for 46th with A.J. Hawk and Seth Curry in 2023. This year, he is hoping for some improvement, though he admitted his game is getting shorter and shorter as the years go on. Theismann said fans can also get in on the action with a fantasy game that was developed for the tournament. He said fans can begin to register next week with the winner getting two tickets to next year's tournament and a $10,000 check to the charity of their choice. The event is a 54-hole Stableford format in which golfers earn points for each hole based on the score to par. The golfer who achieves the most points wins. The tournament kicks off July 9 and runs through July 13. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Yankees pitching legend Andy Pettitte opens up about choosing faith over worldly success
He has five World Series rings, fame and trophies – but for Yankees legend Andy Pettitte, faith comes first. From the mound to the chapel, Pettitte turned to Christ to get through tough times and confront some "big league" challenges. Now, with his wife Laura at his side, he's sharing his faith journey with Fox Nation subscribers. "One of the verses that I always remember and thought about is, 'What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?'" the pitching legend said on the latest episode of "Ainsley's Bible Study." "It's not about all the trophies and all the money and all of [the] fame. It's more about people's souls." After Pettitte found Christ at 11 years old, his faith continued to grow each year. He later met Laura at a Baptist church just outside of Houston where her father was a preacher, and the couple were married at a young age. "I just felt like I had a wonderful foundation with my faith to kind of carry me through all the trials and tribulations and all the great times that a baseball career can bring," he said on Monday's "Fox & Friends." Laura stayed by his side as he rose to fame in the big leagues, leaning heavily on her own faith – which she had harbored since early childhood – to get her through the tribulations that come with being an athlete's wife. "Through those times, with women pushing me out of the way, wanting to take their picture with him and different things… relying on the Lord and going to the Word, to my Bible, and prayer really through all of that time was [what got me through it]," she shared. Even as a rookie, Pettitte led Bible studies among his teammates — something he described as "tough" in the midst of disagreements from those around him. "You have to get to the point, obviously, where you don't care what anyone thinks of you. You're going to live your life, you know what you believe and the foundations that you kind of want to live and the principles you want to live your life on. Everyone's not going to always agree with you, but definitely as a younger player, it was tough," he said. "It was tough when you had to walk around the baseball locker room and say, 'Hey, we got chapel in five minutes,' and a lot of guys didn't want to hear that, but again, God's just always been very faithful, and I just had a lot of confidence in what he was going to do and how he was going to help me." "It's been wonderful during the course of my career to see people, see other teammates accept Jesus, and God is just good. That's all I can say."
