New York Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson praises Russell Wilson: 'Easy to catch'
New York Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson praises Russell Wilson: 'Easy to catch' The New York Giants have a brand new quarterback room this season, led by 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson. The Giants have not played a down in earnest yet with Wilson under center, but early returns indicate the team feels they are marked better than they were in years past with him throwing passes, especially deep ones. "That deep ball just drops right in the bucket, for sure. And then whenever he's throwing just the shorter routes and stuff like that, it kind of comes in like a pillow," said wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson at the Giants' OTA session on Thursday. "It's really, really easy to catch, which I like. "The first time we threw, me and (Darius) Slay(ton) were both like, this is actually better than we expected. And so, no, we were ecstatic about it, and couldn't be more happy that he's our quarterback." Wilson, with his long resume of success and neverending positivity, is a breath of fresh air for this dormant Giant offense. "Russell, he's been a guy that when you look at what he's done from Seattle to Pittsburgh, it was a mesh and fit for our scheme," Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown told the media on Thursday, "We knew we needed to push the ball down the field a lot more. You guys have seen him do that in practice. That's an ability and knack that is unique for Russ." The Giants were one of the worst deep passing teams in the NFL last season and Wilson's presence should help change that as we at Giants Wire recently outlined. Wilson the NFL with a 97.3 deep passing grade last season. Even with the addition of superstar wide receiver Malik Nabers, the Giants struggled to throw the ball downfield last season. As a team, they recorded just a 67.4 deep passing grade in 2024, 4th-worst in the NFL. Wilson has certainly looked the part this spring and his receivers are happy. All things considered, it's a positive start.

10 top new movies and shows to stream this weekend on Netflix, Apple TV and more (June 6-8)
June is off to a hot start, with a sizzling mix of new shows and movies to watch this weekend on Netflix, Apple TV Plus and more of the best streaming services. Returning favorites lead our TV weekend watch list. "Ginny and Georgia" season 3 adds legal woes to the mother/daughter dramedy, while "Resident Alien" season 4 spins up new adventures for the extraterrestrial doc. In terms of debuts, the biggest one is "Stick," a golf comedy starring Owen Wilson giving major "Ted Lasso" vibes. On the movie side, one of the best movies of the year is available on premium video-on-demand: "Sinners" is an electric vampire tale from Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan. Here's our guide to what to watch this weekend. If "Ted Lasso" won you over with its warm-hearted take on soccer, "Stick" might just tee up the same magic for golf. Owen Wilson plays Pryce 'Stick' Cahill, a once-great golfer begrudgingly coaching a hotheaded 17-year-old prodigy who hits long and sulks hard. Created by Jason Keller, the comedy mixes big laughs with surprising heart, peppered with cameos from real golf legends and viral YouTubers. Wilson, meanwhile, is in his sweet spot — rumpled, effortlessly cool and playing it just sincere enough to sink the emotional putt. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Episodes 1-3 streaming now on Apple TV Plus Getting cuffed for murder in the middle of your vows? Not quite the fairytale ending Georgia (Brianne Howey) had in mind. Season 3 throws the Millers into chaos: Georgia's skeletons are out of the closet, and Ginny (Antonia Gentry) is rethinking just how far she's willing to go for her mom. With Georgia's trial looming, tensions are sky-high and the family's future hangs in the balance. Ginny's growing up fast, and it's messy, painful, and anything but simple. Hold on tight, Peaches — this season is an emotional rollercoaster. All 10 episodes streaming now on Netflix The beloved sci-fi comedy is back with fresh chaos. Harry (Alan Tudyk) has returned to Earth post-alien-prison break, but there's a twist: he's now human … or at least trying to pass as one. Complicating things? A crafty shape-shifter masquerading as Harry and stirring up trouble in the already quirky town of Patience, Colorado. Meanwhile, Sheriff Mike and Deputy Liv are knee-deep in strange goings-on and dead-set on cracking the latest bizarre cases. Let the weirdness resume. Episode 1 premieres Friday, June 6 at 11 p.m. ET on Syfy or USA (via Sling or Fubo) Shane Gillis' offbeat comedy returns, still barely holding it together, which is exactly its charm. In season 2, Will (Steven Gerben) and Shane (Gillis) are riding the wave of their sorta-successful tire hustle, trying to build an empire … or at least not burn it all down. Enter Shane's wild-card dad (Thomas Haden Church), a Vince Vaughn cameo and Will teetering on the edge of a full-blown meltdown. There's HR trouble, a painfully cringey romance and plenty of chaos to go around. The wheels may be loose, but the ride's somehow even funnier. All 12 episodes streaming now on Netflix The lights are bright, the curtain's up, and Broadway takes center stage at the 78th annual Tony Awards. Hosted by Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo, this year's celebration spotlights standout shows like "Buena Vista Social Club," "Death Becomes Her," "John Proctor Is the Villain," "Oh, Mary!," "Romeo + Juliet "and "Sunset Boulevard." But the night's biggest showstopper? A 10th anniversary reunion from the original "Hamilton" cast—yes, the room where it happens is happening again. Special premieres Sunday, June 8 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount Plus With Showtime Shaq's trading dunks for deals in this new docuseries, which tracks the Hall of Famer's latest power move: taking over as President of Reebok Basketball. He's teaming up with Allen Iverson to revive the brand, and they're not just talking throwbacks — they're locking in rising stars like Angel Reese and setting their sights on a full-court comeback. It's part boardroom playbook, part trip down memory lane, and all about the grind. From Boston to beyond, Shaq's still running the game, just in a different jersey. All 6 episodes streaming on Netflix Crank the heat to full blast: "Love Island" is back, and the villa's filling up fast with fresh singles ready to stir the pot. Ariana Madix returns as host, dishing out no-nonsense advice and just the right amount of sass. This season's lineup? Pure drama bait, with heartbreak survivor Yulissa and cocky charmer Austin already turning heads. Expect flirty games, fiery blowups and maybe even a few real connections in the chaos. It's going to be one steamy, messy summer. Episode 1 streaming now on Peacock Ryan Coogler's completely original vampire tale hits like a shot of moonshine. The director turns the Mississippi Delta into a blood-soaked blues opera, where Michael B. Jordan plays not one but two bootlegging brothers trying to outrun their sins. It's 1932, and twins Smoke and Stack are back home to open a music haven, only to find something far more dangerous than Jim Crow lurking in the shadows. 'Sinners' is part horror, part Southern fable and part fever dream — unlike anything I've seen in a while. Yeah, it's a vampire movie, but also a celebration of Black resistance, joy and survival. Streaming now with purchase on Amazon and Apple 'Predator: Killer of Killers' is what happens when you feed the franchise creatine and throw it across three centuries. Directed by Prey's Dan Trachtenberg, the animated anthology film pits a Viking warrior mom, a ninja and a hotshot WWII pilot against everyone's favorite intergalactic trophy hunter. The animation is bold, the action is relentless and the kills are extremely savage (because Predators really don't care what century it is). Fans of the franchise are sure to enjoy 'Killer of Killers' ahead of the release of 'Badlands' this fall. Streaming now on Hulu Tyler Perry's new thriller stars Taraji P. Henson as a single mom who can't seem to catch a break. Janiyah is just trying to cash a check at the bank so she can buy her sick daughter's medicine — except everything that can go wrong does and suddenly she's in a full-on hostage situation. 'Straw's' story of a desperate parent who's one crisis away from losing everything feels particularly timely. Henson looks to give a fiery performance, and she's joined by a cast including Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor and Sinbad. Streaming now on Netflix

BBC Content Chief Latest: Race To Replace Charlotte Moore Nears Final Two, As Zai Bennett Drops Out & New Candidates Emerge
EXCLUSIVE: In around a week's time, the contest to replace BBC content boss Charlotte Moore will become a two-person run-off. Before then, we are told there are around five to six candidates in the mix. Two of those are believed to be frontrunner Kate Phillips and BBC iPlayer and channels boss Dan McGolpin. Another pair are understood to be Nat Geo's Tom McDonald and a new name, David Brindley, the Chief Creative Officer of Destination X producer Twofour. There is thought to be at least one other dark horse candidate, possibly two. The BBC declined to comment. More from Deadline Biden Blasts Trump Over "False" Claims That Aides Ran Country During His Presidency; Current POTUS Admits He Has No Proof For Allegation - Update BBC Condemns Israel After IDF Soldiers Strip-Searched & Detained Journalists At Gunpoint BBC & RTÉ Order Two Seasons Of Aidan Gillen-Starring Comedy Crime Drama 'Tall Tales & Murder' From Chris Addison & Stuart Carolan One person we can reveal is no longer in the running is BBC Studios productions boss Zai Bennett, who becomes the latest to exit from what has been a twisty-turny race to replace BBC content supremo Moore – who has exited to join Sony. Previously deemed a frontrunner, Bennett has always been positioned as a strong candidate but has just got his feet under the table at BBC Studios, initiating a major restructure in the past few weeks and bringing in several new lieutenants. He is the latest big name to exit the race, following the likes of Banijay UK boss Patrick Holland, Netflix's Anne Mensah and Apple TV+ executive Jay Hunt. In around a week to 10 days' time, Deadline understands the remaining candidates will be whittled down to two, at which point they will be grilled in front of an interview panel of senior BBC executives, likely including Director General Tim Davie. Unscripted supremo Phillips remains the one to beat, with BBC insiders and highly-regarded producers pulling for her to get the job. A Netflix-shaped spanner was thrown in the works earlier this week with a report in UK TV trade Broadcast that said she is being wooed by the streamer. Deadline revealed the exit of Netflix unscripted head Ben Kelly several weeks back. Netflix UK is on quite the tear and the Broadcast article dropped on the day the SVoD poached Channel 4's film and TV drama boss Ollie Madden. McGolpin is no less senior than Phillips but Phillips has the programme-making chops and has been acting up in Moore's place over the past few months. McDonald and Brindley are old friends from BBC commissioning, where they successfully ran the specialist factual and factual entertainment departments respectively for several years. The highly-rated McDonald has been touted as a possible Moore replacement since the contest began. He has handy experience working in the States as Disney-owned Nat Geo's EVP Global Factual & Unscripted and has worked with huge stars including David Attenborough and Idris Elba. He is known, however, to have built a life in America and is happy in his current role. Twofour's Brindley is thought to be one of the other contenders. He has been overseeing a successful period for the ITV Studios-owned indie that has included landing the £20M ($27M) contract to make Destination X for the BBC and NBC, new BBC reality franchise I Kissed a Boy/Girl and a historic third series for Apple TV+ doc The Reluctant Traveler. As with McDonald, Brindley is thought to be happy in his current employ. Notably, Phillips, McDonald and Brindley skew heavily unscripted, leaving the feeling that there could still be a big name from the drama world to emerge. Led by search firms Grace Blue and Ibison, the process is moving quickly, with the BBC appearing keen to have a name in place after Moore left the building last week. Moore will become CEO of The Crown producer Left Bank Pictures and creative director of international production at Sony Pictures Television. Stay tuned for more.
