Shedeur Sanders helps organize community event after East Cleveland fire
Shedeur Sanders is doing his part to ingratiate himself with his new neighbors. Sanders, the Cleveland Browns' fifth-round rookie quarterback, helped organize and hosted a community event in East Cleveland on Wednesday, according to ESPN. One of the main goals of the event was to bring together the community after an explosion and fire at an apartment complex in late June killed one man and destroyed more than 40 units. The Garden Valley Fun Fest included free food from food trucks, free haircuts, games and other activities. Sanders, along with Browns defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr., reportedly took pictures and chatted with fans for hours before putting together "an impromptu game of football with kids." SHEDEUR SANDERS: Shane Gillis roasts Colorado QB over jersey number retirement during ESPYS "I just wanted a day for everybody to get out here and have some type of enjoyment, excitement, bring just the family atmosphere back," Sanders said, according to News 5 Cleveland. The Browns selected Sanders in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft in late April. He said on his introductory press conference call shortly after the Browns drafted him that "I'll be more involved in the community." He's making good on that promise before he has even played a snap. Sanders is expected to battle for the Browns' starting quarterback job throughout training camp and the preseason. He's one of five quarterbacks Cleveland has on its roster, along with veterans Joe Flacco, Deshaun Watson and Kenny Pickett, plus fellow rookie and 2025 third-round pick Dillon Gabriel. The Browns' rookies are due to report to training camp Friday, with veterans to follow suit on Tuesday, July 22.

Shane Gillis Tricks ESPYs Crowd with Fake WNBA Star Joke, League Likely Unamused
Comedian Shane Gillis tricked the audience at the 2025 ESPY Awards by introducing his friend's wife, Brittany Hicks, as a fictional four-time WNBA All-Star. Her introduction prompted applause from the audience. The problem is that she's not a four-time All-Star. In fact, she's never played in the WNBA. And the audience had no clue. 'Four-time WNBA All-Star Brittany Hicks is here, everybody, give it up for Brittany,' Gillis excitedly declared. After a short pause, Gillis continued: 'I'm joking around, that's my friend's wife. I knew none of you knew WNBA players.' Not a Good Sign for the WNBA The viral moment, which has amassed over 300,000 views online, sparked debate about the WNBA's popularity and Shane Gillis' provocative comedic style. Of course, the question here is who should be more embarrassed by this joke – the crowd who had no idea if they were looking at a WNBA star, or the league, which only has maybe one or two identifiable faces? People know Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and A'ja Wilson, but beyond that? Viewers on social media lauded the joke as a solid, well-deserved jab at the league. 'Gillis just served up one of the classiest middle fingers in award show history,' one fan wrote. 'Straight outta the Ricky Gervais playbook.' 'Using your best friend's wife to set up a joke about a fake WNBA player to call out an entire audience for pandering is perhaps the best executed joke of all time,' a popular Barstool Sports personality added. 'And it came at the ESPYS!' RELATED: Shane Gillis Causes Controversy at the ESPYs The WNBA has long faced challenges in gaining recognition and respect. And they aren't helping themselves by poorly marketing a generational talent in Caitlin Clark. The WNBA has struggled to market Clark effectively due to its failure to consistently promote her as a central figure, despite her driving unprecedented viewership and attendance. Instead, they prioritize league-wide narratives over her individual star power. Poor officiating, marked by inconsistent calls and unpunished physical play, has now contributed to Clark's injuries, as referees fail to protect star players. The league's biggest star not being on television is a ratings killer. Despite Clark's impact boosting ratings by 300% and attendance by 60%, the WNBA reportedly lost $40-$50 million in 2024. Shane Gillis at the ESPYs also caused controversy with his joke about the Indiana Fever star. 'When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most, fist fighting Black women,' he quipped.

Stephen Colbert announces Late Show cancelled by CBS
CBS is cancelling The Late Show With Stephen Colbert next May, ending a decades-old TV institution and removing from air one of US President Donald Trump's most prominent and persistent late-night critics. The announcement followed Colbert's criticism on Monday of a settlement between Mr Trump and Paramount Global, parent company of CBS, over a 60 Minutes story. Colbert told his audience at New York's Ed Sullivan Theatre that he had learned on Wednesday night that after a decade on air 'next year will be our last season', adding: 'It's the end of The Late Show on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away.' The audience responded with boos and groans. 'Yeah, I share your feelings,' the 61-year-old comic said. Three top Paramount and CBS executives praised Colbert's show as 'a staple of the nation's zeitgeist' in a statement that said the cancellation 'is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night', adding: 'It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.' In his Monday monologue, Colbert said he was 'offended' by the 16 million dollar settlement reached by Paramount, whose pending sale to Skydance Media needs the Trump administration's approval. Mr Trump had sued Paramount Global over how 60 Minutes edited its interview last autumn with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Critics say the company settled primarily to clear a hurdle to the Skydance sale. Colbert took over The Late Show in 2015 after becoming a big name in comedy and news satire working with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show and hosting The Colbert Report. The most recent ratings from Nielsen show Colbert gaining viewers so far this year and winning his timeslot among broadcasters, with about 2.41 million viewers across 41 new episodes. On Tuesday, Colbert's Late Show landed its sixth nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding talk show. It won a Peabody Award in 2021. David Letterman began hosting The Late Show in 1993. When Colbert took over, he deepened its engagement with politics. Alongside musicians and film stars, Colbert often welcomes politicians to his couch. Democratic senator Adam Schiff, of California, was a guest on Thursday night. Mr Schiff said on X that 'if Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better'. Solve the daily Crossword
