Snoop revels in role as NFL awards host
Snoop Dogg seemed to love his night hosting the NFL Honors award ceremony.It began as more like a roast as Snoop picked out some of the game's biggest names and made jokes at their expense.They enjoyed it at first but Joe Burrow and Sam Darnold looked awkward when Snoop poked fun at Cincinnati's defence and Darnold's former team, the New York Jets. And the rapper didn't even hold back on the two teams that will be contesting Super Bowl 59.Some claim NFL officials have been favouring the Kansas City Chiefs so Snoop said that Sunday's game will be an "incredible Super Bowl match-up between the Eagles... and the refs".He then turned on Philadelphia, saying that "the Chiefs have the chance to do a Super Bowl three-peat for the first time in history. The Eagles have the chance to be liked by the rest of America - also for the first time in history."The Pittsburgh fan then came back on to the stage wearing a full Steelers uniform and later did a skit with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell which could have been weird but, credit to 'the Comish', it actually ended up being really funny.Never mind music, perhaps Snoop now needs to give comedy a go.

Pittsburgh Steelers slammed for signing 'washed up diva' Aaron Rodgers by stunned NFL analyst
Aaron Rodgers heading to the Pittsburgh Steelers has been slammed by Skip Bayless, as he called the 41-year-old a 'washed up diva'. Bayless posted a more-than-5-minute rant on social media about the situation, where he trashes the Steelers and Rodgers, as the months-long saga of the four-time MVP's free agency came to an end. Rodgers is likely inserted as the Steelers No 1 quarterback for the season, with any talk of a competition with Mason Rudolph or Will Howard holding zero weight, as neither have had NFL success. The caption of Bayless' video reads - 'I can't believe the Pittsburgh Bleeping Steelers just signed a washed-up, 41-year old, finger pointing, blame deflecting DIVA.' 'He was washed his last three years in Green Bay,' Bayless said. 'Go look at the numbers of his last three playoff games in Green Bay… I told the Jets he was washed.' 'What has become of the Pittsburgh Steelers? I don't hate them anymore, I pity them.' The 73-year-old Bayless became known in sports broadcasting for his hot takes and a hot-and-cold relationship with former on-screen partner Stephen A. Smith. Bayless picked an online fight with Tom Brady last month over Shedeur Sanders' draft status. Last week, the momentum behind Rudolph being the starter as at an all-time high after he appeared at a rally for President Donald Trump. Rudolph, alongside safety Miles Killebrew, and four-time Super Bowl champion Rocky Bleier, gave Trump a personalized Steelers jersey. Trump also gave his two cents on Pittsburgh's quarterback situation, endorsing Rudolph.

Dallas star Patrick Duffy, 76, was a big hunk in the 1970s... see what he looks like now
Dallas veteran Patrick Duffy played Bobby Ewing on the hit nighttime soap saga set in Texas from 1978 until 1991. The swarthy actor was one of the biggest hunks on the small screen as he worked opposite Larry Hagman, Linda Gray and Victoria Principal. He reprised the role of Bobby in the TNT revival series from 2012 to 2014. Duffy also starred as Frank Lambert in the ABC sitcom Step by Step with blonde bombshell Suzanne Somers in the 1990s. Now the 76-year-old Hollywood staple has been seen again as he appeared at several events in Cincinnati to support his brand Duffy's Dough. On his arm was his girlfriend Linda Purl of Happy Days fame. Duffy and Purl have been dating since July 2020 after they met on a group text and got close on Facetime then Zoom during Covid. He has said sparks began to fly during a group text chat in 2020. Patrick shared last year: 'It's a Covid romance. We didn't sit in the same room for almost four months but we spoke to each other everyday. 'We kept texting and texting became Facetime and for two and a half months plus we zoomed every night for two or three hours. We didn't have that thing after the third dinner, do I kiss? Do I take her to my house? Linda, who played Ashley Pfister in season 10 of Happy Days in the early 1980s, added: 'As we were about to do the end meeting, Patrick says "see you tomorrow love you." Patrick said: 'The next day we zoomed it was like…"hi". I got into my car and drove 23 hours to her door step and we've never been apart.' Linda continued: 'I don't think it would have happened otherwise because in our normal lives pre-pandemic we wouldn't have had three hours to Zoom but we did.' Branding Linda 'the most beautiful thing in the world' Patrick said: 'I wasn't looking for (love) but it found me.' Describing their relationship in an interview back in November 2020, Patrick said he had given up on the idea of dating again following the passing of his wife, ballet dancer Carlyn Rosser, who succumbed to cancer in 2017. The pair were married for over four decades and had two sons: Padraic, 48, and Conor, 42. 'I wasn't looking for it. I didn't feel I needed it … and then fate just went swoosh! and changed the perspective,' he said of their love last year. 'We started texting and then FaceTiming and then Zooming … We did a two-to-three-hour Zoom every single night … You get to know somebody really well when you do that.' The actor loved chatting to Linda during the lockdown, and once restrictions were eased, he wasted no time in rushing to see her. He shared: 'At the end of those two and half months, we were feeling a little different than just casual friendship, so I packed up my car, I drove 20 hours, and I was on her doorstep. 'I asked permission if I could kiss her, and we've been together ever since.' Patrick admitted that his romance with Linda came as a complete surprise. The actor explained that after his wife's death, he never imagined he'd fall in love again. He confessed: 'I never thought for a minute this would happen again. I never thought I'd feel this way again. I'm in an incredibly happy relationship.' Duffy's wife Rosser died in 2017. Linda is mother to son Lucius Cary, 26, who she shares with ex husband Alexander Cary. She has been married four times in total but has no other children. In 2006 Patrick played Stephen Logan on The Bold and the Beautiful. He left the show after five years, but came back in 2022 for two episodes. In his role he played the love interest to his girlfriend Purl. He has also appeared in films like You Again (2010) and Lady of the Manor (2021).
