Sports-heavy NBC fall lineup finds room for Daniel Radcliffe, Tracy Morgan, Jimmy Fallon
NBC is going all in on sports, with three nights of programming devoted to NFL football, NBA basketball and Big 10 college football this fall.
That leaves room for few entertainment programs. Five of seven dramas on the fall schedule are from producer Dick Wolf, from the "Law & Order" and "One Chicago" franchises. Comedies "St. Denis Medical" and "Happy's Place" return in November to help launch newcomers.
The new comedies include "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins," which stars Tracy Morgan as a disgraced former football player trying for image rehab. Tina Fey is among the producers of that series, which costars Daniel Radcliffe.

Jimmy Fallon also hosts a new competition reality series, "On Brand," which sets up a marketing agency and tasks contestants to craft campaigns, reminiscent of what Donald Trump did in "The Apprentice."
Among the freshman series, only "St. Denis," "Brilliant Minds," and "The Hunting Party" are returning. NBC canceled six other new and longer-running shows, from "Lopez vs Lopez" to a "Night Court" revival, "Found," "Grosse Pointe Garden Society," "Suits LA" and "The Irrational." NBA games will expand to a second night on Sundays after the NFL season concludes.

Puma Unveils Tyrese Haliburton Signature Sneaker Ahead of NBA Finals
NBA star Tyrese Haliburton is one of the major reasons the Indiana Pacers will be representing the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, with Game 1 tipping off Thursday night on ABC. The 25-year-old Haliburton has not only played exceptionally well throughout this impressive Pacers' playoff run, he also happily embraced playing the role of the trolling villain to rabid Knicks fans under the bright lights at Madison Square Garden. Advertisement While the two-time NBA All-Star has always been a very good player, there probably hasn't been a time in Haliburton's five-year career where his name has been anywhere close to as hot as it's become over the last month. That's probably why Puma, who Haliburton signed a multi-year deal with before the season started, decided to strike while the iron's scorching hot and unveiled his signature sneaker literally hours before the start of the 2025 NBA Finals. This new line of signature Haliburton sneakers have been officially dubbed as The Puma Hali 1. What you're seeing in the above photos is The Puma Hali 1 "Hibiscus," which is reportedly set to release in September. Advertisement However, there won't be any kind of waiting game for Haliburton, who is expected to be debuting the signature shoe in the NBA Finals. "When I signed with Puma the first order of business was to sign a signature athlete," said respected designer Salehe Bembury, who also serves as VP of men's footwear at Versace. "They showed me a list of available and unavailable NBA athletes and told me to choose one to recruit. I chose Tyrese … He is him." Puma seems to have truly caught lightning in a bottle in choosing Haliburton, as he had just left Nike prior to this season. As of now, there has been no confirmed listed retail price for The Hali 1 "Hibiscus."

Aaron Rodgers is a married man
PITTSBURGH — There were plenty of storylines coming out of Pittsburgh Steelers camp Tuesday regarding their newest employee, one Aaron Charles Rodgers, but the biggest news might be this: Rodgers is a married man. Speculation about Rodgers' marital status grew last week when, while signing his new one-year deal with the Steelers, Rodgers sported a black ring on his wedding finger. When asked about it during a news conference Tuesday, Rodgers confirmed the news. Advertisement "Yeah, it's a wedding ring," Rodgers said, nonchalantly, adding that he's been married now for "a couple months." Not much is known about who Rodgers married. He dropped the name of a girlfriend named Brittani during an interview on "The Pat McAfee Show" in December. It's unclear if the woman he recently married is the same girlfriend. For months, Rodgers kept the NFL world and most pointedly the Steelers guessing about his status for next season as he dealt with self-described personal matters, saying in May on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast that someone close to him is battling cancer. Rodgers' personal life has been fodder for the tabloids (and sports pages) for years. He's dated actress Olivia Munn, race car driver Danica Patrick and was engaged for a period to actress Shailene Woodley.

Candace Parker drops blunt view on fairness of critiquing WNBA players
The post Candace Parker drops blunt view on fairness of critiquing WNBA players appeared first on ClutchPoints. Candace Parker is the latest former basketball star to find success in sports media, securing fanfare for her deep knowledge of the game and versatility to complexly analyze both the NBA, WNBA, and college basketball. Parker has been in the front seat for the growth of the WNBA and with growth comes commentary that isn't always positive or affirming. Advertisement In an appearance on No Offseason: The Athletic Women's Basketball Show, Parker talked about WNBA coverage and the fairness of critiquing WNBA players. 'For a long time media has been the driving force behind people watching the WNBA. You had to handle it with white gloves because you couldn't critique something that was being critiqued in society for that long. So but now I think there's a difference in handling it with white gloves and loving it and being passionate. There's an honesty, authenticity, and there's a truth that you're owed to people. You can't lie to viewers, you can't lie what you see.' She continued, 'So we're saying 'Man that's an unbelievable play.' Like okay or, 'Yeah I don't know what she was doing there.' No, like the viewers see that she made a turnover or that maybe she needs to work on going to her left. I wholeheartedly believe, and not attacking anybody, I don't think you should ever attack anybody personally their character who they are, but you can critique what they're doing.' In her brief media career, Parker has led in showing that an analyst or journalist can be critical without being personal as her opinions on players and teams across the basketball landscape are well respected. Candace Parker also evoked Inside The NBA, in her comments as she cites that they don't hold back on their critiques of players. Advertisement 'In the same sense that the NBA on TNT was a first of its kind and Ernie, Shaq, Chuck, and Kenny being honest and real about what's going on and understanding the balance of entertainment that you want to bring to the viewers but also honesty I think that's the key.' It's clear that Parker wants honesty in takes about basketball but respect for the players that are the subject of critique and opinion. That is absolutely reasonable and should be the standard across all sports coverage.
