Madden NFL 26 Top QBs revealed: Steelers' Aaron Rodgers doesn't make the cut

EA just revealed the top-10 player ratings at each position for Madden NFL 26 — and while the Steelers have representation in several key areas, quarterback isn't one of them. Here are the newly released Madden NFL 26 player ratings for the top-10 quarterbacks — with Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers notably excluded. Rodgers' predicted player rating of 77 is well off the top-10 quarterbacks in Madden 26 — failing to accurately account for his return to form at the end of the 2024 season. Underrated is an understatement, but the four-time MVP and 20-year veteran has more on his plate than Madden ratings — post-season aspirations on an incredibly stacked Steelers roster heading into the 2025 season.

Reports: Jeremy Strong to play Zuckerberg in 'Social Network Part II'

1 of 5 | Jeremy Strong is reportedly the top pick to play Mark Zuckerberg in a follow-up to "Social Network." File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo July 31 (UPI) -- Succession actor Jeremy Strong is reportedly in talks to portray Facebook co-founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a sequel to the 2010 film The Social Network. The Hollywood Reporter said Thursday that Social Network writer Aaron Sorkin will return to write and helm the new movie, which is inspired by "The Facebook Files," a 2021 series of Wall Street Journal articles penned by Jeff Horwitz. Jesse Eisenberg portrayed Zuckerberg, now 41, in the first film, directed by David Fincher. Eisenberg's performance earned him an Academy Award nomination. The first movie chronicled the founding of Facebook, which officially launched in 2004 ahead of Zuckerberg's 30th birthday. Deadline confirmed Strong, 46, is the top choice to play Zuckerberg in the sequel. The actor would join rumored cast members Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) and Mikey Madison (Anora), with White possibly portraying Horwitz and Madison as a whistleblower. No formal offers have been made to cast members, according to Variety. Strong is also known for his role as Roy Cohn in The Apprentice.

Sussex County's legendary Stanhope House shuts its doors after decades of live music

The Stanhope House, an iconic music venue and historical landmark in Sussex County, has shut its doors after decades of live entertainment, according to an announcement posted to Facebook July 30. "Effective immediately (7/30/25) the decision has been made to close the Stanhope House," reads the post, adding that all tickets purchased through TicketLeap will be refunded through TicketLeap. This abrupt closure comes after previous efforts by the owner Jon Klein to sell the property to a developer. The proposed project, which was rejected by the Borough Council in May 2024, would have built 40 or more apartments as well as a commercial space and an underground parking garage. The venue, located at 45 Main St. in Stanhope, has been around since 1796 and built its name as "The Last Great American Roadhouse," with legendary musicians like Muddy Waters, Johnny Copeland and Rakim having taken the stage at one point or another. The former private home, stagecoach stop, general store, post office, tavern, rooming house and hotel became well known in the early 1970s for its list of legendary Blues-Rock performers, according to the venue's official website, which reads, "If walls could talk, the old walls of the Stanhope House, the Last Great American Road House, would have some serious stories to tell." In recent years, the business has struggled, with declining audiences being exacerbated by COVID. In addition, the site is in need of several repairs including to its roof, basement, plumbing and parking. In the wake of its announcement, dozens of people have taken to the Stanhope House's social media with their reactions, one writing, "Very sad! I'll miss the Stanhope House. So many great memories." "Thank you for all the great music you've provided over the many years ... legendary," said another, echoing hundreds of commenters who have dined, danced and even played there themselves over the years.
