Former New England Patriots and current Arizona Cardinals linebacker Mack Wilson put out a rap song for the Cardinals in one of the more unique schedule release videos.
Wilson played in three seasons for the Patriots from 2022-2023 after being traded from the Cleveland Browns. He recorded 73 combined tackles, five sacks, three forced fumbles, and four pass deflections in 34 games with New England.
He signed a three-year contract with the Cardinals during the 2024 free agency.
The Patriots themed their 2025 schedule release video around an egg-dropping competition between Christian Gonzalez, Demario Douglas, Robert Spillane and Marcus Jones. Arizona, on the other hand, decided to go the musical route with Wilson taking center stage.
Wilson had one of his most productive seasons in years with the Cardinals, recording 75 tackles, five pass deflections, one interception and three sacks.
It's clear he has talent as both an artist and an athlete. Wilson will not get an opportunity to face his former team this season, but the Cardinals' schedule release video will go down as one of the more memorable ones for the 2025 season.

Rick Pitino doesn't want to replace Tom Thibodeau as the next Knicks head coach: 'Absolutely not'
Rick Pitino won't be returning to the New York Knicks. 'Absolutely not,' he said Wednesday night during the New York Yankees' matchup with the Cleveland Guardians, where he threw out the first pitch. While there are a number of reasons why he might be a great fit, Pitino is now officially out of the running. Advertisement The Knicks fired coach Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday after five seasons with the franchise. Thibodeau was fresh off a trip to the Eastern Conference finals, too, which is a place the Knicks hadn't been since 2000. By all accounts, Thibodeau's time with the Knicks was a success. He just couldn't get them over the final hump and into the Finals. 'I feel bad for Thibs because I think he captured all of New York and built something very, very special,' Pitino said, via SNY. 'A lot of us don't comprehend what happened, but Thibs is going to be well taken care of and he'll move on to other pastures.' Naturally, the move has led to plenty of speculation as to whom the Knicks will hire to replace him. The team is now the only franchise without a head coach, after the Phoenix Suns moved to hire Cleveland Cavaliers assistant Jordan Ott on Wednesday. There are plenty of solid names available, like former Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone or ex-Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown, for example. But others, like Pitino, have also been floated. Advertisement Pitino already worked for the Knicks early on in his career. He was an assistant there for two seasons before jumping into the head job in 1987. He returned to the league nearly a decade later for a short stint with the Boston Celtics. Pitino is now with St. John's, where he's fresh off an NCAA tournament trip and in the midst of a career revival following his tumultuous exit from Louisville. Pitino wouldn't necessarily be a long-term play for the Knicks, considering his age and where he's at in his career, but he's more than proved he's capable of the job throughout his decades in the sport. And, with him right across the river in Queens and the Red Storm already playing their home games in Madison Square Garden, he'd be an easy call to make. But, it sounds like Pitino, 72, is more than happy where he is. 'As long as you're mentally and physically sharp, you do it as long as you can, because coaching is a blessing,' Pitino said, via SNY. 'It's the second best thing to playing. I've been blessed with over 50 years of coaching, and I hope it continues as long as I can do it.' The Knicks will have to look elsewhere.

‘70s rock band offers reward for ‘irreplaceable' stolen instruments
Storied rock band Heart is asking fans to help it recover two custom instruments that were stolen on the eve of its summer tour. Singer and guitarist Nancy Wilson's 'custom-built, one-of-a-kind purple sparkle baritone Telecaster with a hand-painted headstock' and multi-instrumentalist Paul Moak's 'vintage 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin' were among the items discovered to be missing, according to a statement posted to Wilson's Instagram account. The 'irreplaceable' instruments are believed to have been taken from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, N.J., where the group's Royal Flush Tour kicked off on Saturday, May 31. Heart's members say the gear had been set up at the venue the day before the show. The trek is due to stop at San Francisco's Chase Center on Aug. 10. 'These instruments are more than just tools of our trade — they're extensions of our musical souls,' Wilson said in the social media statement, shared Tuesday, June 3. The post also includes photographs of the missing pieces. 'We're heartbroken, and we're asking for their safe return—no questions asked. Their value to us is immeasurable.' In an effort to recover the items, Heart is offering an unspecified reward to anyone who can provide information leading to their return. Those with tips should contact the band's tour manager, Tony Moon at tonymoon@ The Grammy-nominated group first rose to prominence in the mid-1970s, with breakout singles 'Magic Man' and 'Crazy on You' reaching the Billboard Hot 100 upon their release in 1975. While band members have shifted over the years, the group's current lineup consists of Wilson and her sister Ann, Moak, Ryan Waters, Ryan Wariner, Tony Lucindo and Sean T. Lane.
