He added: "It was just seeing Jimmy Butler (NBA player) with the Miami Heat had done it before. "I thought that looked good so I said I'd roll with that." The national broadcaster then surveyed some punters for their reaction to seeing a photo of the new eye-catching aesthetic.

Tennessee Titans sign Matt Landers, waive Colton Dowell
It may be a quiet Friday on the practice field, but the Tennessee Titans are still at work fine-tuning their roster. Titans Insider Jim Wyatt reports that the Titans are making a change to the receiver room by signing wide receiver Matt Landers to the training camp roster. At 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, Landers is a size/speed prospect that looks the part of an NFL receiver. Unfortunately, he has not been able to put it all together and has bounced around the league on practice squads with four different teams since being signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Seattle Seahawks in 2023. Landers will have an uphill battle coming into an already crowded receiver room, but will have a chance to compete for one or two open spots at the bottom of the depth chart. To add Landers to the roster, the Titans waived Colton Dowell, a former seventh-round pick who missed all of the 2024 season with an ACL injury.

It's Tipperary's year says super fan... in Kildare
A Tipperary super fan is backing her team to 'top Cork' in this Sunday's Senior Hurling All-Ireland championship. And Beatrice Landers has declared her allegiance with some unusual decorations outside her Kildare home. Ms Landers, originally from the Premier County, has lived in Maynooth, Co. Kildare for the last 42 years with her Limerick-supporting husband. Each year, the couple adorn their home with county bunting and flags as well as a home-made mannequin in a helmet and jersey, holding a hurl. A Tipperary super fan is backing her team to 'top Cork' in this Sunday's Senior Hurling All-Ireland championship. This year, Ms Landers is calling it for her home county: 'It's going to be Tipperary's glory year.' 'My husband is from Limerick so we've had to endure the Limerick colours for the last few years. It's amazing to have the Blue and Gold up,' she told the Irish Mail on Sunday. 'It's time Tipperary came out of the hole and took over,' she added, explaining that she made the mannequin 'years ago' from old sheets and blankets. 'It's dressed in a painting suit and I've just used a helmet and, for hair, a mop on his head – which is a balloon.' Despite her firm, lifelong Tipp allegiance, Ms Landers seems to have a soft spot for the Lilywhites as well, saying the people of Kildare are 'delighted' to be the current home of the Joe McDonagh Cup in hurling and Tailteann Cup in football. 'The people of Kildare, the people in Maynooth are so delighted. It's a great win, great for football in Kildare and a sign of future things to come.'

Cher's troubled son Elijah Blue Allman remains in hospital after drug overdose scare
Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman is recovering in hospital after an apparent drug overdose. Police were dispatched to his home in Landers, California, on Jube 14, after receiving a call that there was a man there who was 'acting erratically'. When they arrived they found Elijah being examined by emergency medical personnel. 'Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital,' a police statement said. 'The investigation is ongoing,' Five days after his hospitalisation there still hadn't been any update on the 48-year-old's condition. However, a source close to Cher shared that the mother of two is 'doing everything she can to help her son and help him get well.' This incident comes two months after Elijah's estranged wife, musician Marieangela King (37), professionally known as Queenie, filed for divorce for the second time – putting an end to their 12-year marriage. Elijah, who is also known by his stage name P Exeter Blue and plays guitar in the rock band Deadsy, was spotted last month in Hollywood looking very disoriented. In disturbing footage, he was seen standing around outside a hotel with a torn grey t-shirt, low-hanging shorts and slip-on shoes. The musician was holding what looked like a lit cigarette and was sweating profusely as cars passed him. His ankles appeared swollen and he had a few cuts on his leg. Elijah has always been open about his drug use and has often spoken about it. READ MORE | Brad and Angie's dance-loving daughter is forging her own path with support from close friend Keoni 'I started with drugs around the same time that we all did, around 11,' he said back in 2014. 'I mean, it's just what you did, it's just what everybody did.' He also shared that he had some close calls with overdosing. 'I always kind of kept it a little bit safe but you never can do that,' he said. 'Even though you think that in your mind, of course, the wrong things can happen. The wrong combination of things can happen, and you can just slip into the abyss.' PHOTO: Gallo Image/Getty Image Towards the end of 2023, Elijah and Cher made headlines after she filed for conservatorship of her son's affairs. The Believe singer said in the court papers that Elijah made $120 000 (R2,2 million) a year on his own and also had access to a trust fund created by his late father, singer Gregg Allman. Cher, who also has a son, Chaz Bono (56), from her first marriage to Sonny Bono, said she was concerned Elijah would use all his money to buy drugs. At the time, Elijah acknowledged his struggles 'with addiction' and that he 'spent money in ways that have not always been the most responsible'. However, he added that he was under the care of a doctor and was attending AA meetings. 'I recently passed a drug test and am willing to submit to future drug tests,' he said. 'I am clean and sober from illicit substances for over 90 days now and am fully capable of and committed to managing the money I receive quarterly from the trust left by my late father.' The Strong Enough singer withdrew her conservatorship request after a nine-month court battle. Cher has always described their relationship as 'bizarre'. 'We've had so many strange moments. I don't really understand him,' she said. 'Somehow Elijah and I kind of talk through osmosis. His mind is very expansive. He just dances to his own tune and doesn't really care.' Marieangela released a statement in support of her ex-husband, who remains hospitalised. 'While it is true that Elijah has faced personal challenges in the past, one constant has been his unwavering commitment to sobriety and his loyalty to those he loves,' she said. 'Like many, he continues to confront his inner struggles – but it is important to recognise that he does so from a place of strength, not defeat.' The singer says that even though she isn't married to Elijah anymore, she will continue to root for him. 'Despite the assumptions that often colour how his journey is portrayed, the reality is that Elijah remains grounded, focused and deeply committed to living with integrity and purpose.'
