Lee Corso's final ‘College GameDay' to come at Ohio State in Week 1
Lee Corso's final mascot headgear pick for 'College GameDay' will come at Ohio State, where it all began. ESPN's flagship college football show will go to Columbus, Ohio, in Week 1, where the Buckeyes will face Texas in what is expected to be a top-five matchup. ESPN said in April that the 89-year-old Corso would retire after Week 1 of the upcoming season, giving him a celebratory sendoff, but it did not name the location. There was some speculation the show could go to the Florida State-Alabama game, as Corso played at FSU in the 1950s alongside actor Burt Reynolds (and because Ohio State-Texas will be broadcast on Fox). 📍 Week 1: Columbus, OH We're kicking off College GameDay with a trip to Texas-Ohio State, as we celebrate Lee Corso's final show back where he first made headgear history! 🤩 — College GameDay (@CollegeGameDay) June 10, 2025 But the show will send Corso off where the headgear picks began. While Corso has been on the show since its inception in 1987, his first mascot pick came at Ohio State in 1996 for the Buckeyes' game against Penn State. Corso has made 430 headgear picks, from Buckeyes to animals to helmets to full-on costumes. He's correctly picked 66.5 percent of those choices, according to ESPN, including a perfect 11-0 in 1999. Brutus Buckeye has been the most popular pick, chosen 45 times, with Alabama just behind at 38. 'When it was our game, I was always hoping he didn't pick us,' Nick Saban said in April, 'because I knew the players were watching and I wanted reverse rat poison.'

Chez Nous Brings a New French Energy to the Marlton Hotel
Opening Margaux in the Marlton Hotel in Greenwich Village has become a new French restaurant. The owners, Sean McPherson, Ira Drukier and Richard Born, with their partners David Kuhn and Kevin Thompson, who are in media and entertainment, have put the kitchen in the hands of Flossie Gilles, from Montpellier, France, who was executive chef at Le Bilboquet. Her menu reflects the City of Light with leeks pavé, braised endives, chicken with escargot sauce, salmon en papillote and profiteroles; a burger and a New York strip also give a taste of what's popular in Paris. A dazzling 30-foot mural by the English painter Cecily Brown covers the back wall in a skylit room. Marlton Hotel, 5 West Eighth Street, 212-321-0111, In a city where a glass of rosé can set you back $28 or more, what the winemaker Jordan Veran is doing with his wine bar is notable. The evening hours are decorated with candlelight at Bright Side Café in Williamsburg, and wines are served by the glass; there are 10, $12 to $15 (bottles start at $60), and are mostly low-intervention French wines like Terroirists from Gaillac in Southwest France, with which Mr. Veran has a personal connection. The wine bar will be in residence at the cafe through November. 184 Kent Avenue (North Fourth Street), Williamsburg, Brooklyn, The name is a reference to the four partners who pay homage to their native heritage, with a Turkish approach to breakfast, lunch and dinner, prepared by three Turkish chefs. Breakfast involves Turkish sausage, for lunch there are Turkish-style tacos (fried dough enclosing beef, chicken or vegetables), and dinner starts with mezze and goes on to sumac-crusted salmon and braised short ribs with eggplant and orzo. Turkey inspires cocktails and some Turkish wines are poured in the art-filled 60-seat room. (Opens Wednesday) 9 Jones Steet (West Fourth Street), 929-697-2305. Eddie Huang, who made a splash with 'Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir' in 2013, is popping up at the Flower Shop on the edge of Chinatown. Olive oil from his in-law's estate in Greece gives a mostly personal Taiwanese menu a taste of the Mediterranean. Three courses are $80 with seatings at 7 and 9 p.m., June 11 through 13, July 9 to 11, Aug. 6 to 8, and Sept. 10 to 12. (Wednesday) 107 Eldridge Street (Broome Street), Want all of The Times?

DC's SGT. ROCK Movie Reportedly Isn't Dead Yet, and CLAYFACE Has a Shooting Date — GeekTyrant
Things have been murky around DC Studios' Sgt. Rock project lately, but according to a new report, it might still have a pulse. And while that film's fate hangs in the balance, Clayface seems to be quietly moving forward with a fall production start. Last we heard about Sgt. Rock , DC had put the brakes the film, shelving the film after delays piled up and director Luca Guadagnino shifted over to his new film, Artificial . The World War II-set adventure was reportedly struggling with scheduling, budget concerns, and even some not-so-cooperative British weather. Add Guadagnino's lack of blockbuster experience to the mix, and things weren't looking great. DC Studios co-head James Gunn hasn't said a word publicly about the project's fate. The original goal was to release it sometime in 2025, but that's clearly off the table. Now, insider Daniel Richtman says there's still some hope. According to Richtman, Sgt. Rock is "still happening…for now," though it remains on pause until 2026. The movie was said to follow Sgt. Rock, Mademoiselle Marie, and the Easy Company as they battle Nazis to recover the Spear of Destiny. And while the concept has pulpy potential, fans remain divided, some questioning the need for a period war film in a cinematic universe still trying to establish its big-name heroes. I love the idea, though! Meanwhile, the Clayface movie appears to be further along than expected. Richtman claims cameras will start rolling in September, and the casting process is in full swing. Jack O'Connell, Tom Blythe, George MacKay, and Leo Woodall are reportedly in contention to play the shape-shifting Batman villain. Mike Flanagan, who developed the pitch and wrote the first draft of the script, previously said: "I don't know what they're doing with Clayface . I'm not directing it, and that filmmaker will need to make it their own. "I know that they're doing work on the script. I'm off doing other things now, I really hope it remains true to the spirit of what I wanted it to be. But it's not my movie, so I'll be in the audience with you, anxious to see how it comes out." Still, with Clayface gearing up for production and Sgt. Rock quietly waiting in the wings, DC Studios is clearly keeping its options open as it builds out this next chapter of the DCU.
