The NFL World Reacts to the New Orleans Saints New Gameday Golds Jersey
The New Orleans Saints have done it again.
The Saints unveiled new "Gameday Golds" alternate jersey on Twitter/X, spurring the NFL world to react.
The overall reaction to the jerseys has been overwhelmingly positive, but there are a select few who are not fans. The NFL world loved the Saints' white helmets paired with their color rush, and that trend continued after New Orleans unveiled their Gameday Golds.

Everyone's favorite football fashion guru voices his opinion, but doesn't love the choice of gold
@ZachCohenFB
Some believe the back-to-back alternate reveals for the Saints win them the uniform offseason unveiling.
@ZachCohenFB
We remember the last time the Saints wore an alternate gold jersey...
@SaintsForecast
For some, the gold jerseys carry too much trauma.
@Saintsjohnbutler
While everyone isn't a fan of the choice of gold, it won't stop them from buying it.
The consensus for the new uniform has been overwhelmingly positive. While there are minor ticks on the new Gameday Golds, such as the gold color used and the large collar, the new uniforms seemingly push the Saints ahead in the NFL's uniform race.

Mets prospect Nolan McLean strikes out seven batters in latest Triple-A start
Mets pitching prospect Nolan McLean continues to impress with another quality outing on Tuesday night. Pitching for Triple-A Syracuse, McLean allowed just one hit on three walks (and one HBP) across 5.2 scoreless innings while striking out seven batters against the Charlotte Knights. He generated 15 swing and misses while topping out at 97.3 mph. McLean kept the Knights off balance and cruised with the fourth inning being his only high-leverage situation. In that inning, McLean allowed a two-out walk to Andre Lipcius and Bryan Ramos followed with a single. But the right-hander bounced back with a strikeout on seven pitches. McLean would be one batter shy of getting through six innings, but a two-out walk to Will Robertson forced Syracuse to pull McLean after 96 pitches (58 strikes) thrown. Mets reliever Huascar Brazoban was called to relieve McLean and struck out Lipcius to get through the sixth and end McLean's night. Entering Tuesday's start, McLean has been terrific, tossing 104.0 innings split between Double-A Binghamton and Syracuse while posting a 2.60 ERA and 1.14 WHIP while striking out 113 batters. With the Mets in potential need of some arms down the stretch, McLean -- and fellow prospect Brandon Sproat -- could be in play for a call-up. If McLean continues to pitch like this, he may leave the Mets with little choice but to call him up, especially the way the current major league starters are unable to give the team length.

In addition to the sale of NFL Network, the NFL and ESPN are also entering into a second non-binding agreement, under which the NFL will license to ESPN certain NFL content and other intellectual property to be used by NFL Network and other assets. These transactions between America's most popular sporting league and the world's most innovative sports media leader are designed to set a new standard for how professional football is delivered, experienced and celebrated by fans. "Today's announcement paves the way for the world's leading sports media brand and America's most popular sport to deliver an even more compelling experience for NFL fans, in a way that only ESPN and Disney can," said Robert A. Iger, Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company.

ESPN's DTC offering will deliver an array of NFL content to subscribers. Under the terms of these agreements: NFL Network, including both linear and digital rights, would be owned and operated by ESPN and fully integrated into ESPN DTC, alongside traditional pay television distribution, increasing accessibility and flexibility for consumers and promoting innovation in sports programming. ESPN would own broad rights to the RedZone brand and distribute the NFL RedZone Channel to pay TV operators for continued inclusion into their sports packages. NFL Fantasy Football would merge with ESPN Fantasy Football, creating the official Fantasy season-long game of the NFL and one best-in-class digital experience, driving innovation and enabling broader reach to meet global demand. In total, ESPN's platforms will license an additional three NFL games per season to air on NFL Network as a result of today's news. In addition, ESPN will adjust its overall NFL game schedule, with four games (including some from overlapping windows) shifting to the NFL Network, which will continue to present seven games per season.

It will also continue to own, operate, and produce NFL RedZone, and retain the rights to distribute NFL RedZone digitally.

John Oliver takes ‘hard pass' on Jay Leno's comedy advice
Amid the uncertainty of the late-night TV industry, John Oliver isn't trying to hear Jay Leno's expert opinion on comedy. The 'Last Week Tonight' host opened up on the fate of the media landscape following CBS pulling the plug on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' While the network said the cancellation was due to so-called 'financial' reasons, some have attributed the decision to Colbert's comedy stylings, which leans heavily into the polarizing political climate. Leno, who exited the late night scene in 2015, shared his views about why that type of content doesn't work — at least not for him. During a recent interview with David Trulio for The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, the 75-year-old comedian said he doesn't subscribe to mixing politics and humor for a mass audience. ''I like to think that people come to a comedy show to kind of get away from the things, the pressures of life, wherever it might be,' he said, adding: 'I love political humor, don't get me wrong, but what happens [is] people wind up cozying too much to one side or the other.' 'I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group … just do what's funny,' he concluded. When asked about Leno's comments, Oliver dismissed his opinion. 'I'm going to take a hard pass on taking comedic advice from Jay Leno,' the 30-time Emmy Award winner told The Hollywood Reporter in a Q&A published Tuesday. When probed further about the former 'Tonight Show' host's belief that comedy on late-night TV should cater to the widest audience possible, he poo-pooed that as well. 'Who thinks that way? Executives? Comedy can't be for everyone. It's inherently subjective,' Oliver said. 'So, yeah, when you do stand-up, some people try to play to a broader audience, which is completely legitimate. Others decide not to, which is equally legitimate.' Regarding his own approach to comedy on his top-rated HBO series, Oliver admitted that his show 'clearly comes from a point of view' but argued that most of the bigger content pieces 'are not party political …they're about systemic issues.' The British-American funnyman added: 'You want people to at least be able to agree on the problem, even if you disagree on what the solution to it is.'
