Former ESPN analyst is still baffled by last season's MVP snub for Lamar Jackson
Months later, a former ESPN mainstay still hasn't gotten over an obvious Lamar Jackson MVP snub. Every so often, ESPN has its round of firings, and the network saunters on with its restructured cast of stars. Some men and women we know are safe before those cuts happen. Sometimes, the dismissals shock us. Now and then, once everything settles, we realize we miss some of the on-air talent more than we thought we would. Bomani Jones isn't every Baltimore Ravens fan's cup of tea. Neither was the man whose show he co-hosted. Highly Questionable wasn't one of those broadcasts that everyone would set the timer to watch. Dan Le Batard... He, too, was the owner of one of those personalities you'd understand someone loving or feeling they could do without. Jones eventually left the show in 2017 to develop his brand, High Noon. He was also a regular on ESPN's highly popular Around the Horn, but it's his recent creative effort, The Right Time with Bomani Jones, that captured our attention relatively recently. Bomani Jones is still aggravated by a perceived Lamar Jackson MVP snub Those of you who are hip-hop heads will appreciate this reference, but at its core, few things offer the same competitive component as the battle. Once upon a time, Nas went for blood, shifting music on its ear with his verbal onslaught on Jay-Z. Ether was what he titled it. Many moons later, Lamar Jackson would pass for 4,172 yards and toss 41 touchdown passes while only throwing four interceptions. He led the league in touchdown percentage (8.6), yards per attempt (8.8), QB rating (119.6), and QBR (77.3). He added another 915 yards and four rushing touchdowns with his legs. He was named First-Team All-Pro in the AFC. When the MVP votes were tallied, the award was given to Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen. Months later, Jones 'ethered' everyone responsible. We can't argue with any of that. He's right. Much love to Josh Allen. He's gifted and all and was probably the best MVP Pick not named Lamar Jackson, but Lamar Jackson should be the owner of three MVP trophies right now. Challenge flags can't be thrown when MVP trophies are handed out. That simply isn't how things work, but maybe it should be. Months later, this still feels like a snub. Sure, it's whatever under the bridge now, and training camp is already underway, but don't blame us for bringing this up. Blame Jones. We simply demand a recount.

King of the Hill: Here's everything to know about season 14's long-awaited comeback
By Aman Shukla Published on July 29, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated July 29, 2025, 10:28 IST After 15 years, it's finally happening— King of the Hill is returning, and fans couldn't be more excited. Hank Hill and the gang are back in Arlen, Texas, bringing all the propane-fueled charm and dry humor we've missed. Whether you grew up with the show or just discovered it, Season 14 promises both a hefty dose of nostalgia and some timely, grown-up storytelling. When Does King of the Hill Season 14 Come Out? Mark your calendars: the new season drops on August 4, 2025, exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. All 10 episodes will be released at once, so go ahead and plan your binge. International viewers can catch the revival on Disney+ via the Hulu Hub. This marks the first new season since the original series wrapped back in 2010. Hulu gave the green light for the reboot in January 2023, and fans got a sneak peek—including an updated intro showing a grown-up Bobby Hill—during the ATX Television Festival in May 2025. Who's in the Cast? The new season brings back most of the original voice actors, with a few changes and new additions that reflect real-life losses and fresh storylines. Mike Judge returns as both Hank Hill and Boomhauer , keeping the heart of the show intact. Kathy Najimy is back as the ever-confident Peggy Hill , now adjusting to retired life. Pamela Adlon voices Bobby Hill , who's now 21 and chasing his dreams as a chef in Dallas. Stephen Root returns as the sweet but unlucky Bill Dauterive . Lauren Tom continues to voice both Connie and her mom Minh Souphanousinphone. Ashley Gardner reprises Nancy Gribble, Dale's wife and the town's news anchor. Before his passing in 2023, Johnny Hardwick recorded six episodes as the ever-paranoid Dale Gribble. For the rest, Toby Huss (formerly the voice of Kahn) steps in. Meanwhile, Ronny Chieng is now voicing Kahn, giving the fiery neighbor a fresh twist. We also meet some new faces: Keith David joins as Brian Robertson , a tenant renting out the Hill house while Hank and Peggy were away. Anthony 'Critic' Campos plays Emilio, a fellow chef working with Bobby. Sadly, Luanne and Lucky won't return, as both Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty passed away before the revival was announced. Their absence is handled respectfully, keeping their legacy intact. What's Season 14 About? The show picks up years after the original finale with a time jump. Hank and Peggy are now retired, having spent some time working in Saudi Arabia (yep, really). They return to an Arlen that feels a little different—more tech, new neighbors, and a culture that's evolved. Meanwhile, Bobby is no longer the goofy middle-schooler we knew. He's 21, living in Dallas, and working at a trendy 'German sushi robata' restaurant (try saying that three times fast). His career choice raises a few eyebrows—especially from Hank, who still believes propane is the future. The new season tackles some pretty relevant issues while staying true to the show's grounded tone: Cultural appropriation comes up as Bobby tries to learn about robata grilling and sourcing traditional charcoal. Surveillance and misinformation are explored through Dale's usual antics, including a wild trip to the Bush Presidential Library. Aging, health, and purpose weigh on Hank as he deals with doctor visits, tax troubles, and trying to stay useful in a fast-changing world. Family tension shows up when Peggy crashes at Bobby's apartment post-MRI, and Bobby struggles to reconnect with Connie as adults. And there's a mysterious twist involving a Souphanousinphone anniversary party that hides a secret only Hank knows. Episode titles like 'Return of the King' and 'Chore Money, Chore Problems' give a good idea of the tone: heartfelt, hilarious, and occasionally a little sad—in that classic King of the Hill way.

Shogun Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 29, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 29, 2025, 10:58 IST The historical drama Shogun took the world by storm in 2024, captivating audiences with its rich storytelling, stunning visuals, and unforgettable performances. After its massive success, FX and Hulu confirmed that the series, originally billed as a limited series, will return for a second and even a third season. Fans are buzzing with excitement, eager to dive back into the intricate world of feudal Japan. Here's everything known so far about Shogun Season 2, including release date speculation, cast updates, and what might unfold in the next chapter. When is Shogun Season 2 releasing? Alright, let's get the big question out of the way: when's Season 2 dropping? No official date has been pinned down yet, and that's driving us all a bit nuts. Word is, filming kicks off in Vancouver in January 2026. If you remember, Season 1 took its sweet time in post-production to nail those gorgeous shots and historical vibes, so we're probably looking at early 2027 for the premiere. Some folks are guessing a February 2027 release to match the first season's vibe, but don't be shocked if it slides to late summer or even September 2027. No trailer yet, either—makes sense since they haven't started shooting. The writers, led by Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo, finished scripting all 10 episodes earlier this year, so things are chugging along. Just gotta sit tight for now. Who's coming back for Shogun Season 2? The cast is where things get juicy. Some of our faves are locked in, but others? Well, their stories wrapped up in ways that make a comeback tricky. Here's the scoop: Hiroyuki Sanada is back as Lord Yoshii Toranaga Cosmo Jarvis returns as John Blackthorne Now, for the heartbreakers: Anna Sawai as Mariko? Her gut-wrenching arc in Season 1 probably means she's not coming back. That finale still stings. Tadanobu Asano as Yabushige? Yeah, that guy's wild ride ended in a way that makes a return unlikely. But here's a curveball: Takehiro Hira as Ishido Kazunari might show up again. Even though history says his real-life counterpart bit the dust, Hira dropped a cryptic hint in an interview about his character maybe sticking around—and even dying—in Season 2. That's got fans buzzing about how the show might rewrite history. New characters are definitely on the way, though no names have been announced. The team's working with historians to bring in fresh faces that fit the era, so expect some surprises. What to expect in Shogun Season 2? Season 1 covered all of James Clavell's 1975 novel, so Season 2 is a whole new beast—an original story set 10 years later. Picture this: Toranaga's now shogun, ruling Japan, but it's not all smooth sailing. Drawing from the real-life Tokugawa Ieyasu, we might see him crushing rivals, dodging betrayals, or even facing off in a big battle like Sekigahara (which got a nod in Season 1). The showrunners love throwing curveballs, so even history nerds won't see everything coming. Blackthorne's still stuck in Japan, with his ship long gone. His real-life inspiration, William Adams, became a key advisor to the shogun, so expect more of him navigating this strange, intense world. His back-and-forth with Toranaga—part respect, part clash—will probably be the heart of the season. Oh, and there's talk of a big love story! Justin Marks teased that it's a major part of Season 2, but with Mariko gone, who's it gonna involve? A new character? Someone we already know? That's one mystery we're dying to solve.
