Jared Allen reacts to wardrobe malfunction during Hall of Fame celebration: 'Should've listened to my wife'
Allen, 43, was on stage with his family when he did his sack celebration: going down to a knee and then gesturing out with his hands.
The Minnesota Vikings great stood up, grabbed the back of his leg and realized he had ripped his pants. Days later, Allen reacted to the incident, explaining that he simply got "caught up in the moment."
"I got caught up in the moment on Friday night during the gold jacket dinner and was coming off the stage and decided to do my sack celebration one last time, and I should've listened to my wife," Allen said during a Tuesday appearance on "Fox & Friends."
"I came off the stage, and she's like, 'What are you thinking? Those are fitted pants, you know that's not going to work for you.'"
The rip in Allen's pants stretched from his rear to near the back of his kneecap.
Allen was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame alongside Sterling Sharpe, Eric Allen and Antonio Gates.
In his 12-year career, Allen played for four teams. He spent six seasons with the Vikings, four with the Kansas City Chiefs, parts of two seasons with the Chicago Bears, and part of a season with the Carolina Panthers.
The Chiefs selected Allen in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft out of Idaho State.
In 187 career games, the five-time Pro Bowler had 648 combined tackles with 136 sacks, six interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 32 forced fumbles and 19 fumbles recovered, and he holds the NFL's all-time record with four safeties.
Allen led the NFL in sacks twice, with 15.5 in 2007 and 22 in 2011.

South Park Savages ICE and Kristi Noem, Sends Trump to Mar-a-Lago — Read Recap
Did you think South Park would take it easy on Donald Trump this week? Yeah, we didn't, either. In Wednesday's episode, Cartman is enraged when he sees Clyde start a debate podcast where he says terrible things about women and Jews. Hey, that's Cartman's thing! As Clyde explains to guidance counselor Mr. Mackey, 'I'm just trying to make my nut, man.' (DoorDash isn't free, you know.) But then P.C. Principal fires Mr. Mackey because the government is cutting back on 'unnecessary expenses,' and Mr. Mackey is left wondering: 'What about my nut?' More from TVLine The Chi's Yolanda Ross Breaks Down Her Heartbreaking Exit in the Season 7 Finale: 'We All Lost It' The Sandman's Finale Made Us Wish for a Death-Centric Spinoff: 'We Did Play With Those Ideas,' EP Says Dexter: Resurrection Recap: Dexter's Connection With Mia Takes a Shocking Turn Mackey goes to the bank to look at his finances, and it's grim: His nut is $8,000 a month. ('I had no idea my nut was that big.') He can't find a job as a counselor, so he has to work for ICE rounding up undocumented immigrants because they're the only ones hiring: 'We don't ask for experience!… We don't care if you've read a book!' Mackey goes to the recruitment center and is immediately hired, and they show him an orientation video starring Homeland Security head Kristi Noem, who shoots dogs dead when she's not locking up immigrants. (Oh, and she doesn't look great without makeup on.) While Cartman takes over Clyde's podcast and becomes a 'master debater,' sporting a Charlie Kirk haircut, Mackey is handed a machine gun and sent out on his first ICE raid… at a Dora the Explorer concert. He and the other ICE agents rush in and arrest dad and grandmas, even Dora herself. Noem is pleased — but her Botox falters, and her face melts like a hot candle. ICE's overreach leads to angry protests in Denver, where one protestor argues 'there are many Latinos in heaven.' So Noem sends her ICE agents to heaven to round up all the Hispanic angels: 'If it's brown, it goes down.' By now, though, her face falls completely off and scurries away. Mackey's making good money as an ICE agent, but as his income increases, so does his nut. Noem has good news, though: The President has invited Mackey to Mar-a-Lago to thank him personally. He's flown down to Trump's pleasure palace, where Trump emerges in a pristine white suit like Ricardo Montalban from Fantasy Island — while his VP J.D. Vance is reduced to playing the pint-sized Tattoo. Trump wants to promote Mackey to head of homeland security, he says. But what about Noem? 'Her face freaks me out,' Trump admits. Mackey gets cold feet, though, when Trump pulls him into a bedroom with Satan — yikes — and as he tries to escape, Mackey finds that Mar-a-Lago is just a house of horrors. Even fellow guest Clyde is disillusioned: 'Just wanted to make my nut, sir. Didn't really want all this.' Mackey understands, telling the kid: 'If you're doing something you don't really believe in just to make your nut, you're gonna find that you just get sadder, and your nut just gets bigger.' They decide to leave together, with the help of Superman's flying dog Krypto… well, until Noem takes out poor Krypto with a sniper rifle. But when her face crawls off and leaves the ICE agents scrambling to recover it, that gives Mackey and the immigrants enough time to escape. All's well that ends well, we guess.

Kelly Clarkson Reveals Ex-Husband Is ‘Ill,' Cancels Residency After Source Hinted at ‘Serious' Struggles
Kelly Clarkson has put her Las Vegas residency on pause as her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, battles a private illness. The mother of two — who shares daughter River Rose, 11, and son Remington Alexander, 9, with Blackstock, 48 — took to Instagram on Wednesday, August 6, to announce the difficult decision. 'Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas,' she wrote. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them.' 'I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding,' she concluded. Concerned fans flooded the comments section with words of love and support for the 'Since U Been Gone' singer, 43, and her family. One user replied, 'Those kids need you more than we do! Go be the best momma! Best wishes to all involved,' and a second fan chimed in, 'We love you Kelly! Positive vibes up for you and your family.' This comes one month after Clarkson canceled the first two shows of her Studio Sessions residency in early July. 'The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice,' she said in a post shared to social media. 'I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve.' On July 8, an insider told Page Six that, along with her concerns about damaging her vocal cords, the American Idol alum had also been facing 'serious hidden battles' that 'very few people' were 'privy' to. At the time, Clarkson's pals were worried that she was 'completely burning out and running on fumes,' between her residency, her talk show, her upcoming gig on The Voice and more, a source told Star. Country legend Dolly Parton has also been 'calling and checking' in on her and 'offering support' to the singer. 'She wants to get together and have a talk, just the two of them, without any interruptions,' a separate insider told Star. Clarkson and Blackstock said 'I Do' in 2013 and welcomed their two children together before calling it quits following seven years of marriage. The 'Because of You' artist filed for divorce in June 2020, but their messy separation wasn't finalized until March 2022. Solve the daily Crossword

NFLPA provides clarity on smelling salts in twist after league's ban
Smelling salts aren't going anywhere. After it was reported Tuesday that the NFL was banning salts ahead of the 2025-26 season, the NFL Players Association offered some additional clarification on the rule change, which will surely please the players. The ban was actually placed only on teams supplying the salts, but players will be allowed to use the salts if they provide them themselves. Advertisement 3 Rams defensive end Kobie Turner takes a sniff of smelling salt during a game against the Packers. Los Angeles Times via Getty Images 'We were not notified of this club policy change before the memo was sent out,' the NFLPA said in a message to players, according to an ESPN report on Wednesday. 'To clarify, this policy does not prohibit player use of these substances, but rather it restricts clubs from providing or supplying them in any form. The NFL has confirmed this to us.' 3 Smelling salts lay on the sidelines during a game between the Colts and Steelers, AP Advertisement The league's original memo in which it announced the new prohibition of ammonia, which the salts contain, noted that the NFL's head, neck and spine committee made the recommendation for the ban based on the FDA's warning in 2024 about the negative effects of ammonia inhalants. The FDA's warning included 'the potential to mask certain neurologic signs and symptoms, including some potential signs of concussion.' Smelling salts have long been used across numerous different sports as a stimulant for athletes, raising their awareness. 3 George Kittle expressed disappointment over the initial ban. AP Advertisement The clarification on the new rule saved many players from a world of disappointment. This includes 49ers tight end George Kittle, who crashed the set of NFL Network's 'Inside Training Camp' on Tuesday when he heard the original news. Advertisement 'I've been distraught all day,' Kittle said jokingly. 'I considered retirement. We've got to figure out a middle ground here, guys. Somebody help me out, somebody come up with a good idea. 'I miss those already.'
