Adam Sandler says Netflix 'tried to intimidate me' as he teases next movie
Adam Sandler was asked about his next project following the release of Happy Gilmore 2, the sequel to his 1996 comedy classic, which arrived on Netflix today (Friday, July 25) Adam Sandler has claimed that Netflix attempted to "intimidate" him, while dropping tantalising hints about his potential next project. During a recent appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, the Hollywood heavyweight was grilled about his upcoming work following the debut of Happy Gilmore 2, the sequel to Adam's beloved 1996 comedy, which landed on Netflix on Friday, July 25. This prompted the Big Daddy star to cryptically disclose that he'd recently faced off with Netflix executives, though Adam said he remained defiant when they attempted to "stare" him down. Adam revealed: "I wish I knew right now, pal. I was just with Netflix brass; they were trying to stare me down and intimidate me, and I didn't let it happen." He continued: "I said, 'You wait for this. Sandman's gonna tell you what's up soon enough. And who's Sandman?'I said, 'Me, me. C'mon, cut this s***." Dan then disclosed that the Little Nicky actor "let it slip" about his next film during a dinner in New York, to which Adam acknowledged that "there's talk of it", and he's "gotta write these damn things." He further resisted the questioning by redirecting attention to his latest release. When pressed, Adam told Dan "Don't," insisting that it was "Happy Gilmore 2 time." In the original '90s fan-favourite comedy, the Hollywood funnyman portrayed Happy, a hockey player who discovers he possesses a natural gift for golf and subsequently enters the PGA Tour in a bid to raise the funds needed to save his grandmother's house. The follow-up would prove to be brilliant news for fans. Indeed, one Reddit user posted on the site asking for Adam Sandler film recommendations ahead of its release. They wrote: "Please let me know your favourite Adam Sandler films I can watch tonight. I watched Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore last night and loved it." They continued: "Any suggestions, please—even if I've seen them. Not going to put a long list on here, just tell me your favourites so I can maybe put them on my list." As the recommendations poured in, one particular film stood out among the fan favourites: the 2006 comedy fantasy picture, Click, tells the story of workaholic Michael Newman, portrayed by Adam. He receives a universal remote control from Christopher Walken's character, Morty. However, this remote proves to be extraordinary, enabling him to pause, rewind, and fast-forward moments of his existence. Although it wasn't well received by critics, one Reddit user described the film as "underrated," while another dubbed it a "fun and enjoyable movie" that "leaves you sobbing." Alongside Click, other suggestions from enthusiasts included Uncut Gems, Spanglish, 50 First Dates, and Little Nicky, which features an appearance from the late Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne.

Happy Gilmore 2: Cast, Date Of Release And More About Adam Sandler-starrer
Last Updated: Adam Sandler returns as Happy Gilmore in the eagerly anticipated Happy Gilmore 2. Adam Sandler reprises his role as Happy Gilmore in Happy Gilmore 2, which debuted exclusively on Netflix on July 25. This comes nearly 29 years after cult devotees applauded his unlikely golf swing in the hit 1996 film. In May 2024, Netflix revealed that Happy Gilmore 2 was in development, with Sandler returning to the title role. The actor even joked, 'Shooter McGavin, this one's for you," before delivering his character's trademark hefty swing in a video that the PGA Tour uploaded to X (formerly Twitter). Release and Streaming The latest instalment is accessible to Netflix subscribers worldwide and started streaming on July 25, bypassing theatres entirely. Netflix previously released the sequel's trailer, which showed Sandler making a comeback to the sport after a 30-year hiatus. Plot and Premise About 30 years after the events of the first movie, Happy has retired from professional golf until he is compelled to return due to a personal crisis. He is now playing the game again to finance his daughter's French dance lessons. The follow-up explores how he balances his family responsibilities and adapts to a new generation of professional golfers. Happy, who had been a failed ice hockey player, found his innate gift for golf in the cult favourite. A March 2025 teaser trailer of the movie's first story points revealed that Sandler's title character hasn't 'swung a club in years." After being 'intimidated" by professional golfers, Happy returns to the game by preparing for a tournament. Cast and Cameos Sandler and Modern Family star Julie Bowen will be back on film together in Happy Gilmore 2 after almost 30 years. Ben Stiller is one of the other cast members, along with a few newcomers like Kansas City Chiefs star, Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny, Paige Spiranac, and Post Malone. The seasoned star will be joined on film by other well-known figures from the golf world. Jordan Spieth, Will Zalatoris, Lee Trevino, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, John Daly, and Jack Nicklaus, among others. In a December 2024 visit on The Dan Patrick Show, Sandler also said that rapper Eminem would make a 'funny as hell" appearance in the movie. 'Eminem was cool. He came by, he was great," the actor said at the time without revealing the rapper's participation in the movie, per US Magazine. Netflix is now offering Happy Gilmore 2 for streaming, allowing both new and returning fans to re-enjoy the drama.

ESPN told Dan Patrick ‘he would never get another job' during ugly contract talks
The contract drama between Micah Parsons and the Cowboys had sports broadcaster Dan Patrick reminiscing about a 'bad deal' he previously signed with ESPN. During Tuesday's installment of 'The Dan Patrick Show,' the host reacted to the ongoing negotiations between Dallas and the All-Pro pass rusher— and how team owner Jerry Jones called out his star player in a Monday press conference for missing time due an ankle injury last year. Patrick, who worked for ESPN from 1989-2007, claimed that when he was in negotiations on a new deal, the Worldwide Leader told his agent he was 'over the hill.' 5 Dan Patrick discusses the ongoing contract negotiations between the Cowboys and All-Pro defensive end Micah Parsons on his radio show on July 22, 2025. YouTube/Dan Patrick 'Micah Parsons is one of the top-10 players in the NFL as far as impact on the game,' Patrick said Tuesday. 'Now you can say, 'Hey, he gets injured.' That's what you say to the agent. 'Hey, we're starting to get nicked up a little bit here, that's a concern I have…' That's what a negotiation is. 'I went through negotiations before. Now, I made them public because I thought they were humorous after the fact, when I had Mark Shapiro, who was my boss for years at ESPN, told my agent that I'm 'over the hill' and I'll 'never get another job.'' 5 Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys owner, president, and general manager speaks to reporters during a news conference to open training camp Monday, July 21, 2025, in Oxnard, Calif. AP Although Patrick could relate to the situation in Dallas, he said ESPN spared him from going public with their critiques, unlike Jones. 'And I thought, 'Wow.' And of course I re-signed a bad deal at ESPN, but that's on me,' Patrick said. 'Because I'm like, 'Maybe he's right? Maybe I'm old and I'll never get another job.' He said it to my agent at least. He didn't say it publicly.'' Patrick added that his wife asked why ESPN and Shapiro would even bother offering him another contract if they truly believed the then 'SportsCenter' anchor was 'over the hill.' 5 Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons (left) and cornerback Trevon Diggs talks to media during training camp at the River Ridge Fields on July 22, 2025. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect During an appearance on the Barstool podcast, 'Pardon May Take' earlier this month, Patrick said it was 'frightening' to leave ESPN and claimed there was a 'smear campaign' against him. Parsons, who's entering the fifth and final year of his rookie contract, has made it clear he wants an extension and that he wants to remain in Dallas. The veteran linebacker, who reported to training camp in California, said his agent, David Mulugheta, has reached out to the Cowboys and is still waiting to hear back. 5 Cowboys owner Jerry Jones (right) and son Jerry Jones Jr. during training camp at the River Ridge Fields on July 22, 2025. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect During Monday's introductory press conference at Cowboys training camp in California, Jones harped on Parsons being injured last season. 'Just because we sign him, doesn't mean we're going to have him. He was hurt six games last year, seriously,' Jones said, though Parsons actually missed four games. 'I remember signing a player for the highest paid at the position in the league and he got knocked out two-thirds of the year, Dak Prescott, so there's a lot of things you can think about, just as the player does when you're thinking about committing and guaranteeing money.' 5 Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons (11) enters the field during training camp at the River Ridge Fields on July 22, 2025. Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Parsons appeared in 13 games last season and finished with 12 sacks and 12 tackles for loss. He also made the Pro Bowl for the fourth year in a row. 'Contracts are four, five years, okay?' Jones continued. 'There's a lot of water under the bridge if you step out there and do something in the first two or three. You can get hit by a car. Seriously.'
