Drew Brees wants another crack at NFL broadcasting. But in the booth this time, he said in an interview with Front Office Sports Today. Brees joined NBC immediately upon retiring in 2020 and mostly worked college games and the network’s Sunday studio show. He was looked at as a possible heir apparent to color analyst Cris Collinsworth, but left after just one season. Brees wanted to call games instead of being a studio analyst, although he badly struggled in a rare NFL opportunity when he called a playoff game on Peacock. After he left NBC, other outlets passed on the chance to hire him.

Bill Belichick has joined Instagram. What would have been a shocking headline a decade ago is perhaps not all that surprising in 2024 for the six-time Super Bowl–winning head coach after he failed to land one of the NFL’s 32 most coveted jobs this fall. Belichick gained more than 260,000 followers on his first day on the social media app that he still facetiously dubbed “InstaFace” in his first post.

The US Open will pay its women’s winner a record $3.6 million on Saturday. For two of the quarterfinalists, that would be chump change. Americans Jessica Pegula, ranked sixth in the world, and Emma Navarro, ranked 13th, are on a collision course for the final. Navarro advanced to the semifinals on Tuesday, while Pegula faces Iga Swatiek in the quarters on Wednesday. They also happen to be the daughters of billionaires.

(MA) Get ready to become acquainted with a little lap dog who is ready to take over your bed, home, heart, and life! Easy Money is a Chihuahua mix pup with a unique name. Until recently, Easy Money was an owned pup who was very well-loved. Sadly, tragedy struck and Easy Money's owner passed away. His owner's family was no longer able to take care of him, and so he was surrendered to Great Dog Rescue New England's care.

A study by the self-storage company Storeganise ranks Colorado seventh in the U.S. for retail theft. It should come as no surprise as a Walmart in Aurora announced earlier this month that it is closing due to retail theft. Other locations, such as Central Park in Denver, have locked up an extraordinary amount of their merchandise. Customers now must find clerks to unlock products from cases and put them in a locked box to be unlocked at checkout.
